Jiang Hao stood in front of the Seeker.

This esteemed elder was still kneeling on the ground, feeling immensely ashamed.

Countless years of effort had all become a joke.

Seeing no response from the other person, Jiang Hao gently lifted him up with a slight raise of his hand.

However, upon seeing Jiang Hao, the elder lowered his head once again, unable to meet his gaze:

“We are ashamed before the sages of the past, ashamed before all beings. We have questioned you several times, never imagining that there could be someone who has grown to such heights in this era.

When such a person appears in the world, everyone has heard of him. Yet, we have stubbornly clung to our beliefs, never reacting for many years, continuing our foolish efforts, doubting you. It is truly a great shame.”

Jiang Hao shook his head as he looked at the other person and said: “It’s normal that you couldn’t find me. Even Cheng Yun couldn’t find me, so how could you?

Moreover, my path of growth did not involve you, nor did I need your help.

You do not owe me, and I do not owe you.

It is the beings of the world who owe you; the Three Thousand Great Dao were given with your consent.

That was not mine.

Of course, the assistance from these eight cities was considerable.

If it belonged to you, then I would owe you.”

“I dare not.” The elder bowed even deeper.

Jiang Hao looked at the other party, silent.

He did not understand, the person who was just defiant and unruly, how did he suddenly become so humble?

Is it because of my strength?

But I never exerted pressure on him, nor did I intend to act.

Although there were some conflicts, they always started with the well-being of all beings in mind.

I’m not a good person, but…

Some people wouldn’t easily draw their swords either.

Were these people wrong?

No, they weren’t.

They just did not know me, had never understood me.

We are not in the same world.

But, does it warrant such humility?

Sighing, Jiang Hao said: “Don’t bow, I don’t like looking at bowed heads.”

“Yes.” The elder finally looked up and said: “What instructions do you have for me?”

“You are the elder.” Jiang Hao shook his head and said: “I have no instructions, but before discussing the Dao and the Dharma, I have some questions for you, elder.”

“Please ask, I will tell you everything I know.” The elder responded humbly.

Jiang Hao nodded, then looked in the direction of the eighth city and said: “I heard there is someone called Old Man Corpse Sea in the eighth city. Has he left?”

“Yes, he has left.” The elder nodded and said: “He had been staying there, but a few days ago he left for reasons unknown to us.

He was accompanied by a Daoist named Ji Mie.

We did not ask where they were going.

However, he has a good ship that can sail through the sea area.

There are currently only two ships that can sail freely.

The other ships need some time to rest.”

Jiang Hao was quite surprised; he hadn’t expected Old Man Corpse Sea to leave.

He didn’t know if it was because he knew he was coming and was trying to avoid him.

But there was no problem with the other party, so the likelihood of avoiding him was low.

As long as it wasn’t related to Cheng Yun, the current him would generally not act rashly.

“Fellow disciple Jiang, why can’t the Dao Golden Lotus Pond find you?” At this moment, Shang An, who was beside him, curiously asked.

“Find me?” Jiang Hao asked curiously: “Why would it be able to find me?”

I have the Hong Meng Heart Sutra and many divine items shielding me; even though the Dao Golden Lotus Pond is formidable,

resonating with the heaven and earth takes time.

By the time it is ready, I have already become Daluo.

Then it would be even harder for it to find me.

It is just like my search for Cheng Yun.

The current me has determined my Dao, and can even let Dao Yi be chosen anew.

But…

It is all about mimicking Cheng Yun’s abilities, attempting to use my own strength to measure Cheng Yun, to find his traces, to trace back his origin.

But it is very disappointing.

No traces have appeared.

The current me cannot even see how he came.

I don’t know what realm I need to reach.

Becoming a Saint?

Jiang Hao shook his head, he could feel that simple sainthood should not have much effect.

But it was just a guess, after all, he had not become a Saint yet.

“The Dao Golden Lotus encompasses the Tao of the world, resonating with the Dao to explore the heavens and earth. Logically, it should be able to detect you.” The elder said.

Jiang Hao replied: “It is too slow. When it doesn’t appear in Supreme Immortal Court, how long does it take for the Dao Golden Lotus Pond to resonate and explore?”

“About a thousand years.” The elder said.

Jiang Hao looked at the other party and asked: “Do you know my age?”

Upon hearing this, the elder furrowed his brows and said: “Seventy or eighty thousand years?”

This was even said conservatively.

Jiang Hao slightly shook his head and revealed his exact age: “Four hundred and ninety-two.”

Upon hearing this age, everyone was stunned.

It was somewhat unbelievable.

Not to mention the elder, even Zhantai Guyue and others found it hard to believe.

Less than five hundred years old?

How is that possible?

Less than five hundred years old and already so powerful?

Jiang Hao did not concern himself with their reactions and continued: “So, when it last resonated, I was not born. By the next resonance, my Dao was already established.

Naturally, it couldn’t find me.”

The elder looked at Jiang Hao, feeling that nothing in his countless years of experience was as bizarre as today.

Less than five hundred years old and reaching a realm that they had never comprehended.

To determine the Dao, it seemed simple enough.

In reality, no one had ever done it. At least in his long life, he had never seen it.

Not even in the past…

Jiang Hao looked at the elder and said: “I have said what needed to be said. Now, we can talk about other things.”

The elder was somewhat curious: “What does senior want to talk about?”

“Let’s talk about the Corpse Realm Flower, and also about the past.” Jiang Hao looked at the man in front of him and said: “You should understand, my opponent is Cheng Yun. I need to know his background and the specific situation of the world today, at least let me understand the causes and effects.
