For a moment, Xing Tian found it hard to accept.

Over there, Hong Yun retracted his fist and brought it before his eyes, noticing a distinct white mark on it.

The white mark slowly faded.

Hong Yun looked at the somewhat dejected Xing Tian and felt a bit worried himself.

Did I cripple this guy before he even stepped onto his own stage?

Shouldn't Xing Tian be charging up to fight me again right now?

He frowned slightly.

Clearly, the current Xing Tian had not yet evolved into the fully formed God of War.

He was merely a somewhat pugnacious and unyielding Great Shaman of the Witch Clan!

Sigh, should I raise the God of War Xing Tian from scratch now?

Hong Yun sighed inwardly, then took a few steps forward, walking up to the still somewhat dispirited Xing Tian.

Seeing the once-proud strongman reduced to this state.

Hong Yun thought, Should I have fought back and forth with him?

And then pretended to barely win?

Hong Yun quickly dismissed the thoughts from his mind, realizing that would be too fake.

It would be disrespectful to Xing Tian!

"Xing Tian, you don't need to be so dejected. There's already a difference in our realms."

"Although my main focus isn't the physical body, my realm has reached a certain level."

Seeing Xing Tian look up and force a smile at him, Hong Yun felt helpless.

It seemed he needed to change his approach!

Hong Yun's expression turned serious as he spoke to Xing Tian with a solemn face:

"The first time I trapped you, did you feel powerless, completely cut off from the Power of Law in the world?"

Xing Tian nodded.

A bitter smile touched his face. Why is Hong Yun bringing this up again?

He already feels embarrassed enough!

"But have you ever thought about how, when Great God Pan Gu created heaven and earth from the primordial chaos, all the Dao were hidden within the chaos!"

"Did he have anywhere to borrow strength from?"

"Didn't he rely on the power of his physical body to create the Primordial Era world?"

As soon as Pan Gu was mentioned.

Indeed, Xing Tian and the other members of the Witch Clan perked up their ears.

The corners of Hong Yun's mouth curved slightly.

Little guy, can't I still handle you?

Who didn't know about the Witch Clan's fanatical reverence for Great God Pan Gu?

So Hong Yun decided to use Pan Gu's deeds as an example.

As expected, Xing Tian's eyes flashed.

He murmured:

"Father God is mighty!"

Hong Yun continued:

"Combining Great God Pan Gu's deeds, we can see two very important points. Do you know what they are?"

Xing Tian shook his head.

Even Zhurong shook his head!

The rest of the Witch Clan members exchanged glances, murmuring amongst themselves.

Hong Yun hadn't expected them to figure it out anyway.

He continued speaking, as his fabricated speech was only meant to encourage Xing Tian.

He couldn't let this nascent God of War perish at his hands!

"The first point is that the path of the physical body is powerful! It's no weaker than the path of Law, otherwise how could Great God Pan Gu have created heaven and earth?"

"The second point is that your path of the physical body isn't strong enough yet, but that also means there's a lot of room for improvement!"

"If you were strong enough, let alone my Power of Law, you could even cleave through the primordial chaos!"

Xing Tian's heart trembled!

That's right!

He was about to say something when he saw Hong Yun continue speaking and immediately shut his mouth.

He had already made up his mind to listen carefully to what the man in front of him had to say!

"Besides this, the most important thing is—how can you be dejected after just one defeat?"

"Aren't the Witch Clan supposed to stand tall and be self-reliant?"

"Even Pan Gu didn't retreat when facing the three thousand Demon Gods!"

"And you?"

Xing Tian's face burned with shame after being told off, but the light in his eyes grew brighter and brighter!

Hong Yun looked at Xing Tian, whose gaze was intense.

"I'll give you one last piece of advice: when paths cross, the brave prevail!"

It really felt good to give advice like this.

No wonder everyone liked being a mentor or a boss; bragging doesn't cost anything!

So this is what it feels like to be a know-it-all.

If the situation were different, Hong Yun would have dragged Xing Tian along and lectured him on the spirit of "Drawing the Sword," and then brought out his Italian cannons to blast his mother!

Of course, while Hong Yun said this to Xing Tian, he himself would never do such a thing.

He wasn't the God of War!

Hong Yun actually felt that as long as the green hills remained, there would be wood to burn!

He suppressed the urge to continue acting like a wise elder dispensing guidance.

Hong Yun smiled at Xing Tian!

The brilliance in Xing Tian's eyes grew more intense.

He kept murmuring Hong Yun's words:

"When paths cross, the brave prevail..."

"Paths cross..."

"Brave..."

The next moment, his battle intent erupted once more!

The battle intent, which seemed to have solidified into substance, transformed into strands of white hair!

Hong Yun couldn't help but glance over!

It was even more potent than before.

Zhurong's eyes lit up!

Had Hong Yun's few words caused his state of mind to break through?

Seeing that Xing Tian had awakened and his gaze was clear.

He clapped Xing Tian heartily on the back.

"Slap!"

Zhurong laughed and scolded:

"You fellow, why aren't you thanking fellow Daoist Hong Yun quickly!"

Xing Tian had now completely put aside their past grievances and instead felt a deep respect for Hong Yun.

Those words alone were enough for him to ponder for many years!

However, for a moment, Xing Tian hesitated.

Before, he had referred to Hong Yun as "that person" and "that man."
