The Middle-Aged Man's Identity, Wen Zhong's Shock and Fury!

Longevity Immortal Palace, study.

Upon hearing that Di Xin knew of the mysterious and terrifying man in the white mask from the North Sea, Wen Zhong was stunned. "Your Majesty, then do you know who that man in the white mask is?"

"If that man in the white mask had not saved me, this old minister would likely have met with great misfortune that day."

"After all, on the battlefield at that time, Nine Infants, one of the ten great Demon Race Demon Sages of antiquity, actually appeared."

"Moreover, Nine Infants' cultivation realm was at the very least above the Quasi-Sage Realm."

"This humble subject's cultivation is merely at the early Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal stage. How could I possibly contend against Nine Infants of the Quasi-Sage Realm?"

"Fortunately, at that critical moment, the man in the white mask appeared and saved this old minister. Otherwise, this old minister would surely have met with great misfortune!"

"I beg Your Majesty to tell me that white-masked man's identity. This old minister wishes to thank him in person for saving my life!"

After Wen Zhong finished speaking, he looked at Di Xin.

Di Xin said, "Grand Preceptor, I do indeed know who the man in the white mask is."

"But there is no need for you to thank him in person, is there?"

Wen Zhong asked in confusion, "Your Majesty, why?"

Di Xin merely smiled and did not answer.

Seeing this, Wen Zhong hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, we cultivators place the greatest importance on karma."

"I beg Your Majesty to tell this old minister who my lifesaver is."

Di Xin said, "Very well."

With a thought from Di Xin, a ripple of spatial fluctuation suddenly spread out before him and Wen Zhong.

Immediately afterward, a man wearing a white mask appeared out of thin air before Di Xin and Wen Zhong.

The moment Wen Zhong saw the man in the white mask, he recognized him as the mysterious expert who had saved him in the North Sea.

Wen Zhong immediately stepped before the white-masked man and was about to kneel in salute.

"I, Wen Zhong, thank you, Senior, for saving my life!!!"

With a casual wave of his hand, the man in the white mask stopped Wen Zhong from offering his thanks.

Wen Zhong asked in surprise, "Senior? Why are you stopping me from thanking you?"

The man in the white mask slowly removed it and said, "Grand Preceptor, take a look at who I am."

When the man in the white mask took off the mask, Wen Zhong saw that he was a middle-aged man.

This middle-aged man had a majestic face, and his entire body exuded the aura of one who stood above others.

Wen Zhong looked at the middle-aged man, then at Di Xin.

Just as Wen Zhong was about to speak—

Di Xin said, "Grand Preceptor, see if it is him."

Wen Zhong said with certainty, "Your Majesty, this old minister dares to guarantee that it is absolutely this Senior!"

Di Xin nodded. "Di Xuan, introduce yourself to the Grand Preceptor."

Di Xuan nodded. "All right!"

Seeing how familiar Di Xin and the middle-aged man were with each other, Wen Zhong stared at Di Xin in shock, then looked at Di Xuan again.

Wen Zhong was utterly bewildered. How did Di Xin know such a terrifying expert?

Moreover, judging from Di Xin's conversation with the middle-aged man, they had clearly known each other for a long time, and their relationship was far from ordinary.

Just as Wen Zhong was lost in confusion, Di Xuan said, "Grand Preceptor, are you very puzzled about who I am?"

Wen Zhong nodded. "Yes."

Di Xuan said, "Grand Preceptor, in truth, His Majesty and I are the same person."

After hearing this, Wen Zhong did not understand the meaning behind Di Xuan's words for a moment.

Wen Zhong asked in confusion, "Senior, what do you mean?"

"What? You are His Majesty, and His Majesty is you?"

"Wen Zhong truly does not understand. I ask Senior to explain in detail."

At this moment, Di Xin smiled. "Grand Preceptor, let me explain."

Wen Zhong said, "This old minister is dull-witted. I beg Your Majesty to explain clearly."

Di Xin said, "Grand Preceptor, you should know the path of cultivation after the Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal realm, correct?"

Wen Zhong said, "This old minister knows."

Di Xin said, "After cultivators reach the great perfection of the Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal realm, they can comprehend laws and enter the Quasi-Sage Realm."

"As for how strong or weak one becomes after breaking through to the Quasi-Sage Realm, that depends on how deeply the cultivator comprehends the laws."

"The deeper a cultivator's comprehension of the laws, the higher and stronger their combat power."

Wen Zhong nodded. "Indeed, but what does this have to do with you, Senior?"

Di Xin said, "Once a cultivator reaches the great perfection of the Quasi-Sage Realm, the next step is to break through into the Heavenly Dao Sage Realm!"

"There are no more than three paths for a cultivator to break through into the Heavenly Dao Sage Realm!"

"The first is proving the Dao through laws, the second is attaining Sainthood through merit, and the third is becoming a Saint by severing the Three Corpses!"

Wen Zhong nodded. "Your Majesty, this old minister never expected Your Majesty to be so well-versed in the path of cultivation."

Di Xin said, "Grand Preceptor, what I wish to speak of is the third method of proving the Dao and becoming a Saint."

After saying that, Di Xin looked at Di Xuan, then at Wen Zhong.

At that moment, Wen Zhong seemed to have thought of something.

Wen Zhong said in shock, "Your Majesty, are you saying that you are one of this Senior's Three Corpses?"

Di Xin shook his head. "No."

Wen Zhong asked in confusion, "Your Majesty, then why is that?"

Di Xin said, "Grand Preceptor, it is not I who am one of Di Xuan's Three Corpses."

"Rather, Di Xuan is one of my Three Corpses—the Evil Corpse!"

Upon hearing this, Wen Zhong shot upright in shock, staring at Di Xin with a face full of disbelief.

Wen Zhong said in shock, "Your Majesty, you are a great perfection Quasi-Sage Realm expert???"

Di Xin nodded.

At that moment, Wen Zhong was shocked beyond measure.

Di Xin said, "Grand Preceptor, now you understand, do you not?"

Wen Zhong came back to himself and nodded as he looked at Di Xin.

Wen Zhong said, "Your Majesty, this old minister understands now."

"Why that Senior in the white mask appeared on the North Sea battlefield, not only saving this old minister and the other soldiers of the Great Shang Dynasty."

"Moreover, Nine Infants, one of the Demon Race's Ten Great Demon Sages, was also slain by two mysterious and terrifying experts."

"This old minister guesses that those two mysterious and terrifying experts were likely the other two among Your Majesty's Three Corpses?"

Di Xin said, "Correct. The other two are precisely my Self Corpse and Good Corpse!"

Wen Zhong said in shock, "Your Majesty, this old minister truly never expected your cultivation realm to be so high!"

Di Xin's expression turned grave. "Grand Preceptor, the great perfection Quasi-Sage Realm is still no more than an ant before Hongjun and the several Heavenly Dao Sages."

"When the Investiture of the Gods Tribulation comes, if Hongjun and the several Heavenly Dao Sages personally act, then no matter how many great perfection Quasi-Sage Realm experts there are, it will be of no avail."

"Only an expert at the Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal of the Origin level would be qualified to wrestle with the Heavenly Dao Sages!"

"Otherwise, in the Investiture of the Gods Tribulation, we and the Great Shang Dynasty will have no path but destruction!"

After hearing this, Wen Zhong's expression also became incomparably grave.

Wen Zhong said, "Your Majesty, is there truly no strategy to contend against them?"

"Does our Great Shang Dynasty truly have no path but destruction?"

Di Xin said, "There is. But if we are to contend against them, all the civil and military officials and all the people of the Great Shang Dynasty must unite as one."

"Then, once we raise the strength of the Great Shang Dynasty, I will have the confidence to contend with them."

With a solemn expression, Wen Zhong nodded. "Your Majesty, this old minister will absolutely be the first to support you with all his strength!"

Di Xin nodded!
