"This is the crevice between reality and illusion, free from the barrier’s cover, allowing you to more easily capture information from the void." "Look at those stars, each represents an Illusion Realm." "When it shines, it means its Qi Fortune is surging, when it dims, it represents its decline." "When it extinguishes and crumbles, it symbolizes the end of a world..." A deep, ancient voice lingered by his ear, and following the sound, Zhu Haomiao saw a plainly dressed old man quietly standing not far away, looking at him with a kindly smile. An inexplicable sense of weight rushed over him, as if the old man had been standing there since ancient times, quietly observing the rise and fall of all things, the birth and death of the cosmos. At the same time, Liu Hongbin, beside Zhu Haomiao, slowly widened his eyes, his body instantly snapped straight, trembling with excitement. "Mr. Qian, what brings you here?" The old man smiled and nodded to him, then leisurely moved his gaze away, his wise and profound eyes like deep, bottomless springs, reflecting Zhu Haomiao’s silhouette. "Child, I finally get to see you..." Hearing this, Liu Hongbin stiffly turned his head to look at Zhu Haomiao, not expecting that he could stir a figure like Mr. Qian, who had long distanced himself from worldly affairs. Walking slowly and steadily to Zhu Haomiao, the old man raised his hand, gently stroked the young man’s head, with an affectionate and kind look, like an elder regarding an excellent descendant. "I’ve long wanted to meet the interesting little guy Su E mentioned..." "Since this is our first meeting, and I didn’t prepare any gift, I’ll grant you a blessing." The faint voice contained incredible might, and in an instant, the vast cosmic sea around was distorted by the old man’s will, rippling with intense waves visible to the naked eye. An incomprehensible energy infused into his soul, and Zhu Haomiao suddenly felt the Dragon Emblem on his chest heat up, and it seemed to undergo a wondrous transformation. Feeling the changes in the Dragon Emblem carefully, the black-clothed young man looked at the kindly old man in front of him, politely and curiously asked. "Do you know Teacher Su E?" Withdrawing his hand, the old man gazed distantly into the void, in his profound eyes reflected the obscure starlight. "In a sense, she is my student." Hearing this, Zhu Haomiao stood in awe, and spoke a sentence seemingly driven by a mysterious impulse. "Then you must be my grandmaster." Staring with disbelief, Liu Hongbin’s brow twitched, his expression twisted as he stared at Zhu Haomiao. You really broadened your path! On the other side, looking at the black-clothed young man’s clear eyes mixed with a touch of foolish sincerity, the old man was stunned for a moment, then couldn’t help but curl up his lips. "Indeed, a fascinating little guy." Patting Zhu Haomiao’s shoulder, the old man gave an encouraging smile. "Then I’ll reluctantly accept you as my disciple-grandson, hoping that you stay true to your original self and be a good person." Having said that, the old man lightly pressed his fingertip, through the black suit, onto the young man’s chest Dragon Emblem. In an instant, a glimmer of mysterious spirit light, seemingly containing all wisdom, quietly bloomed. Before Zhu Haomiao could react, the old man withdrew his finger, speaking ambiguous words. "Every cause sown today will surely yield its fruit in the future..." "So, don’t do bad things, doing bad things will get you a punishment..." Listening to the other party’s child-like laugh, Zhu Haomiao involuntarily felt a tightness in his heart, hurriedly nodding solemnly. Seeing his reaction, the old man nodded in satisfaction, slowly turned around, and walked towards several trembling figures. "Sorry for the delay." "Mr. Qian, you’re being too polite." The leader of the group waved excitedly, as if looking up to a living God, their adoration almost overflowing from their eyes. It was only then that Zhu Haomiao noticed a few people not far away, the shock in his heart flickering briefly. With his Spiritual Sense, at such a tangible distance, facing several Transcendents who did not deliberately hide their aura, it was impossible not to notice! However, when the old man appeared in his sight, the entire universe seemed to dim, leaving only the sole Main Character, with everything around him fading and hidden, losing its sense of presence. This feeling closely resembled Sloth’s Mythical Supernatural Phenomenon—Psychology Invisibility! However, Sloth hides itself, while the old man’s sense of presence was so strong, like a black hole devouring all attention, covering the world’s existence! The most terrifying thing was that he did not do it intentionally, but his existence itself disrupted the world. Thinking of this, Zhu Haomiao instinctively touched the Dragon Emblem on his chest, vaguely feeling that the old man had bestowed him with different powers each time. The ’greeting gift’ was a transformation and evolution of the Healing Language and Yanhuang Armory Divine Skills. The second time, he granted a brand new Divine Skill, but in haste, there was no time to study it closely... On the other side, the old man quietly retreated to the side, concealing his sense of presence, like a hidden observer, fully integrating into the surrounding environment. The leading staff member approached Liu Hongbin to coordinate the process, discreetly observing Zhu Haomiao, unconsciously showing a hint of envy. But Zhu Haomiao paid no mind to his emotions, his eyes scanning across the entire platform, yet he could no longer find any trace of the old man. However, Zhu Haomiao knew the old man had not left, instead watching him quietly from the shadows. Suppressing his emotions, Zhu Haomiao pressed down the cat-scratch-like curiosity in his heart, focusing his attention on the task at hand. "We have already locked onto that Illusion Realm, but whether you can ’hear’ the call across the chaotic void depends on yourself, Mr. Zhu." Leading Zhu Haomiao to the center of an Array, several staff members patiently explained. Soon understanding the trick of it, Zhu Haomiao closed his eyes, clearing his mind, his breathing gradually slowing. Seeing this, everyone else held their breath, fearing to disturb him. In the Array, the mysterious runic patterns lit up one after another, and in a mysterious moment, a hushed murmur echoed within Zhu Haomiao’s mind, as if countless beings were whispering in a low, chaotic voice around him. The chaotic, indistinct whispers surrounded him like three-dimensional sound, sometimes left, sometimes right, sometimes ahead, sometimes behind, sometimes distant, sometimes near... The overlapping chaotic echoes grew louder, eventually resembling countless monsters roaring by his ear, producing meaningless sharp noises. Despite Zhu Haomiao’s composure, he couldn’t help but slowly furrow his brows, the eyeballs beneath his tightly closed eyelids restless. Noticing this, those around exchanged glances discreetly, communicating silently. "Though without the barrier’s cover, signals can be captured more clearly, but also lose the filtering and protection of the membrane, facing directly into the chaotic void, and this Mr. Zhu is only a Second Layer Heaven graduate..." Stopping short and glancing at Liu Hongbin, they conveyed their concern precisely. If something goes wrong, don’t blame us! On the other side, Liu Hongbin secretly rolled his eyes, dismissively pursing his lips. You don’t know how high this guy’s position is!
