Chapter 95

"Oh?"

"Why do you say that!"

Hearing this, Laozi immediately became interested.

Although he did not know the specific details, this exclamation from Tongtian Saint truly surprised him.

After all, Tongtian Saint had always been impulsive and reckless.

Especially after proving the Dao to become a Saint and obtaining the Zhu Xian Four Swords, his arrogance had reached its peak.

But now?

Tongtian Saint actually said such things; he was truly curious about what had caused Tongtian Saint's exclamation.

It was not just him.

Xuandu, who was standing to the side, was no exception.

Of course, he was not curious about the rest, but rather curious about what kind of person could injure Tongtian Saint.

"Sigh~"

Facing their gazes, Tongtian Saint sighed again, then said faintly: "Big Brother, how do you think we Heavenly Dao Saints compare to the Hunyuan Daluo Golden Immortals of the Chaos era?"

"Hmm?"

Frowning, Laozi vaguely felt that there was more to Tongtian Saint's words.

However, he did not press for an answer, but instead fell into deep thought.

After a full quarter of an hour, Laozi finally came back to his senses, looked at Tongtian Saint, and said: "Each has its own strengths and weaknesses!"

"But I believe Heavenly Dao Saints are stronger!"

"After all, those Chaos Demon Gods from back then are all dead."

"On the contrary, for us Saints, as long as the Heavenly Dao does not perish, the Saints do not die; this is a certainty!"

Hearing this, Tongtian Saint gave a bitter smile.

Before experiencing the events inside Pangu Hall, had he not held the same thoughts as Laozi?

His thoughts were even more arrogant, believing that Saints were the existence that transcended everything.

But what was the result?

Reality slapped him in the face; a Chaos Spiritual Root that was not even a Hunyuan Daluo Golden Immortal had left him in such a sorry state.

If he had not mobilized the Zhu Xian Four Swords at the last moment to forcibly break the seal and escape, I fear it would not have been just these minor injuries.

"What, you think I am wrong?"

Noticing Tongtian Saint's reaction, Laozi frowned tightly.

"Big Brother, if it were before, I would have thought the same, but reality is cruel."

Shaking his head, Tongtian Saint looked at Laozi and said: "We Saints are considered quite good within the Great Desolation, and one could even say we are evenly matched with Hunyuan Daluo Golden Immortals!"

"But once we leave the scope of the Great Desolation and the scope of the Heavenly Dao, if we cannot obtain the blessing of the Heavenly Dao's power, let alone Hunyuan Daluo Golden Immortals, even a half-step Hunyuan Daluo Golden Immortal would be difficult to deal with."

"I encountered it this time; without the blessing of the Heavenly Dao's power, even with the Zhu Xian Four Swords in hand, I ended up like this, and the other party didn't even suffer any major injuries. Big Brother, do you think I can not regret it? Can I not doubt it?"

Once these words were spoken, the entire place fell into dead silence.

Even though Laozi had vaguely guessed it, he still could not help but show a look of horror at this moment.

He had guessed that Tongtian Saint might have encountered a legendary Hunyuan Daluo Golden Immortal, but he never expected that the one he fought would actually be a half-step Hunyuan Daluo Golden Immortal.

What does this mean?

It means that the other party's strength, when converted, was merely a Quasi-Saint.

Since when were Quasi-Saints so powerful? Even without the blessing of the Heavenly Dao's power, the gap between a Saint and a Quasi-Saint should be like heaven and earth.

"How is that possible~"

Xuandu could not help but exclaim.

He also understood Tongtian Saint's words, and his inner shock was even far greater than Laozi's.

After all, in the cognition of juniors like them, Saints are invincible existences.

Now you tell him that a half-step Hunyuan Daluo Golden Immortal defeated a Saint-level Tongtian Saint; this is simply...

"Big Brother, Slashing the Three Corpses!"

Suddenly, Tongtian Saint spoke faintly.

And once these words were spoken, Laozi's originally shocked expression instantly turned gloomy.

As brothers for so many years, how could he not understand Tongtian Saint's implication?

Precisely because of this, Laozi's Dao heart also became somewhat unstable at this moment, and his deep breathing began to gradually intensify.

"Sure enough, this news is shocking enough!"

Taking in this scene, Lin Fan also sighed inwardly.

Even he had been incomparably shocked, even horrified, before.

Who could have imagined that the gap between a Saint and a Hunyuan Daluo Golden Immortal would be so vast.

One is invincible but confined to the Great Desolation, the other is invincible in all aspects; even a fool would know how to choose and how to decide!

"Third Brother, you didn't come here this time just for this matter, did you!"

After a long while, Laozi came back to his senses and asked.

Although this information was shocking and even pointed directly to the essence of the problem.

Yet Laozi vaguely felt that Tongtian Saint was not just here for this matter, nor would he come just to tell him this information.

After all, as Saints, they now had no room for choice, and even no possibility of regret.

"Yes."

Nodding, Tongtian Saint stopped beating around the bush and said straightforwardly: "Big Brother, I came to see you this time because I want the Heaven and Earth Profound Yellow Ruler in your hands!"

"This item is useless to me, but for my disciple Lin Fan, it is a chance to prove the Dao, so I had to come."

"Oh, a chance to prove the Dao!"

His pupils constricted, and Laozi looked at Lin Fan in surprise.

After all, to be called a chance to prove the Dao by Tongtian Saint, one can see that the value and function of this item are immense.

But as the owner of the Heaven and Earth Profound Yellow Ruler, he had not felt that this item had such value.

"Junior Brother Lin Fan, is this true?"

Xuandu could not help himself; his gaze toward Lin Fan was full of shock and envy.

A chance to prove the Dao.

He did not think it was a chance to prove the Dao to become a Saint, but it was definitely an incomparably huge opportunity, even concerning Lin Fan's future.

Although he did not know the specifics, being able to obtain such an opportunity meant something self-evident, and he even felt a sense of longing from the bottom of his heart.

"Yes, Senior Brother Xuandu!"

Not denying it, Lin Fan nodded and said: "This item is indeed crucial to me, which is why Master brought me to see the Grand Senior Brother without even healing his wounds."

After answering Xuandu, Lin Fan bowed to Laozi and said: "I ask the Grand Senior Brother to grant this!"

"Very well~"

Facing Lin Fan's request, Laozi only pondered for a few breaths before agreeing.

Immediately after, Laozi beckoned, and the Heaven and Earth Profound Yellow Ruler appeared in the area beside him, but he did not hand it to Lin Fan immediately; instead, he said faintly: "But if I give you this item, I need to know its specific value and function!"

"Besides that, if you take this item, you owe my Ren Sect three favors!"

"I do not need them, but this favor will be inherited by your Senior Brother Xuandu, how about that?"

Three favors?

Opening his mouth, a look of determination flashed in Lin Fan's eyes, and he agreed without hesitation: "This disciple is willing, thank you Grand Senior Brother for your generosity!"

"This disciple is willing to bear these three favors; in the future, if Senior Brother Xuandu has any instructions, this disciple will definitely not shirk."

"As for the purpose for which this disciple needs it~"

Speaking of this, Lin Fan's heart stirred, and he took out the Twenty-Four Sea-Calming Pearls, looking at Laozi with a firm gaze: "With the Grand Senior Brother's ability, you should be able to see it now, right!"

"This disciple needs the Heaven and Earth Profound Yellow Ruler to cooperate with it to achieve the Dao!"
