Inside Di Hong Palace.
Chu Kuangren discussed the Dao with God King Di Hong.
Their discussion lasted three days and three nights. By the end, God King Di Hong's forehead was covered in fine beads of cold sweat, and his eyes were filled with utter disbelief.
Although the many monstrous Heavenly Prides present could not commit the contents of their discussion to memory, they could roughly guess the outcome from the pair's reactions.
"How could this be..."
"Could a God King's understanding of the Dao actually be inferior to the Heavenly Sword's?!"
"No, how on earth did he do it?"
Amid everyone's astonishment, Chu Kuangren slowly rose and chuckled. "The Dao of a God King amounts to no more than this. You disappoint Heaven!"
With that, he turned and left.
With a wave of his sleeve, he took not a wisp of cloud with him, the very picture of effortless grace.
He left behind only the utterly astounded monsters and God King Di Hong, who sat on his meditation cushion with his head drenched in sweat.
Everyone exchanged glances, at a loss for words.
"W-what was that supposed to be?"
A monster muttered.
"Alas..."
Just then, a faint sigh sounded. God King Di Hong gazed in the direction Chu Kuangren had left, his eyes incomparably conflicted. "I truly have grown old..."
"God King, will you continue the lecture?"
A monster asked cautiously.
The lecture consisted of three rounds, and they had only just gone through the first.
"This lecture ends here. You may all leave."
God King Di Hong spoke indifferently, a trace of dejection showing in his eyes. He was no longer in the mood to continue lecturing them. It seemed Chu Kuangren had dealt him quite a blow.
Seeing this, everyone gnashed their teeth at Chu Kuangren even
