Chapter 3725 - 1806: Yuantong_2
Chapter 3725: Chapter 1806: Yuantong_2
Jin Ren pondered for a long time, and could only describe it like this:
"Like the mist over the lake, mysterious while obscuring the reality."
He felt he wasn’t grasping the essence, akin to scratching an itch through a boot, and finally awakened:
"Obscuring the Dao!"
The old turtle...
And the boy riding the turtle backwards...
Jin Ren’s heart already had waves, determining the essence of reality:
Emperor Qianshi!
Either this old turtle is Dao Qianshi, or the boy riding the turtle backward is!
Though contrary to his image of Emperor Qianshi, Jin Ren actually found it understandable.
Dao Qiongcang was so flamboyant.
What does it matter if Dao Qianshi was a barefoot boy or wasn’t even human, but just a chelonian?
He looked at the old turtle.
The old turtle was bored, drooping its lantern-sized eyes, dozing off.
Obviously, the recent "Dao discussion" didn’t come from its mouth. Jin Ren looked at the boy who was facing away from him, sitting on the turtle’s shell.
He wore only a star robe, sat hunched, hands unseen as they were propped up in front, looking at the stars.
When he raised his eyes in effort, he could actually just see a quite full, smooth back of the head—with no hair.
"Big Brother, everyone is seeking the Dao, seeking immortality. Why can’t you think straight and want to commit suicide?" The boy riding the turtle started speaking, filled with confusion.
Jin Ren took a deep breath, unwilling to twist words with these Dao clan enigmas, adhering to the principle of making the best of a bad situation.
Since he saw it, couldn’t dodge it, might as well chat!
He cupped his fists, said seriously, "Junior Xu Xiaoshou, pays respect to Emperor Qianshi."
"Hmm... no." The boy shook his head, "Big Brother, how can you be sure that I am Emperor Qianshi?"
Those with the Dao surname are truly troublesome!
Jin Ren was most annoyed by these enigmas.
Meeting is just meeting, talking is just talking, why spin around every sentence?
But he just didn’t want to—not that he couldn’t—so, upon hearing, he laughed heartily and praised:
"Profound mystery knocks on immortality, old turtle carries longevity pattern, stars weave ten thousand paths, destiny falls in balance... Who can have such tone, such heart energy, other than a distinguished individual?"
"Though the Qianshi Emperor realm is vast and full of talents, if you are not the Holy Emperor, who can be?"
The boy still faced away, his voice filled with child-like innocence, as though earnestly asking a question: "Can I not be Dao Qiongcang?"
Jin Ren laughed heartily, picked up a grain of sand on the ground: "Dao Qiongcang is full of tricks, but no better than dirt; Emperor Qianshi’s talent shrouds the sky, can be the star above. How can you compare the two?"
"Hmm... no." The boy shook his head again, "Except for Emperor Qianshi and Dao Qiongcang, can I not be someone else?"
Jin Ren was taken aback, what other expert can there be in the Qianshi Emperor realm?
Dao Xuanji?
Just a funny girl.
Jin Ren continued praising: "Emperor Qianshi, known far and wide, resounding like thunder, today I meet, indeed your reputation precedes you..."
After a long string of pleasantries, he finally posed his true thoughts: "But does Emperor Qianshi plan to keep his back turned to me, not show his true face?"
The boy on the turtle laughed, still just focused on looking at the stars: "If you want to see my face, can’t you walk to the rear of Dao Turtle willingly and meet me?"
"Uh..."
Even Jin Ren was choked for a moment.
Truly the Dao surname!
He wasn’t upset, stepping forward intending to go around this giant Dao Turtle as high as a man and see this pesky kid.
"Forget it."
The boy on the turtle waved his hand, adjusted himself, turned around, and smiled:
"Who am I?"
Jin Ren stopped, raised his eyes to look.
When he saw the boy’s face clearly, his pupils shook, scared him back three steps, and he exclaimed:
"A-Aje?!"
This bald boy with rosy lips and white teeth, round-eyed and straight-nosed, was none other than the Divine Puppet of Aje that was excavated at Tiansang Spirit Palace’s Tianxuan Gate’s Slaughter Cape?
At this moment, Jin Ren’s face turned pale.
His mind flashed too many images, too much information, yet no matter how, he couldn’t organize another complete logic.
What he originally knew was that Aje was a flawed product, the first generation of Divine Puppet made by Dao Qiongcang, ranked behind Divine Oracle Number Two.
Later, the truth changed, as it turned out that Aje developed spiritual intelligence, Dao Qiongcang was thus punished by the five aristocratic families of Holy Emperor, assuming he colluded with Bei Huai, thus had no choice but to abandon Aje.
Thrown on Abyss Island!
Elder Sang brought Aje back to Tiansang Spirit Palace... wait, why did Elder Sang do this? How dare he?
Unimportant, unimportant...
Then Aje was buried within Tianxuan Gate, since unable to show outside, became a great treasure for suppressing barriers, provided Elder Qiao for study on Divine Secret.
But Elder Qiao wasn’t studying Divine Secret.
He was one of the Four Disciples of the Holy Palace, heart energy extraordinary, attempting to reinstate the Art of Spiritual Array, surpass Divine Secret.
Later Elder Qiao sought sanctification, indeed without the need for semi-saint person, he made that step.
Yet mid-progress there was an error, even half a year has passed, he still wasn’t sanctified successfully... alas?
Thinking of this, Jin Ren’s brain was about to explode, pressured by the massive information volume.
But the thoughts were still expanding, in endless expansion.
He thought of the first-generation Divine Puppet, since already developed spiritual intelligence, in the minds of each demi-saint family master, Dao Qiongcang had fallen into Bei Huai’s path.
Bei Huai suffered such "restraint," his entire life pushed into Mournful Emperor realm, refusing to let him out.
Why could Dao Qiongcang transcendence, not only unharmed, but able to roam Shengshen Continent, became Hallmaster Dao?
No one suspected he could craft the first Divine Puppet with spiritual intelligence and later not act out or cause chaos?
