This sudden impulse is by no means unfounded, but rather a kind of premonition from a cultivator practicing the Great Dao of Fate.
After a moment's hesitation, Han Xuanji stood up, cupped his hands in a respectful gesture, and spoke in a firm tone:
" True God, I have a question. If we abandon the 'bloodletting' method and directly engage this Hongmeng Giant Kun in battle, what do you think the outcome would be, given your strength?"
Upon hearing this, the main control room fell silent for a moment. Even the True God Black Rock was somewhat surprised, clearly not expecting this seemingly composed young cultivator to suddenly raise such a question.
He paused for a moment, his fingertips lightly tapping the armrest of the captain's chair, and slowly said:
"If we go to war directly, we will naturally win."
However, this Hongmeng Giant Kun is, after all, Variant at the Eternal True God Realm, with an incredibly powerful physical body. If we were to engage in direct combat, although we might win, we would suffer considerable losses, and our warships might also be damaged, making it a losing proposition."
As soon as True God Black Rock finished speaking, a young cultivator standing behind him, clad in gray armor, stepped forward, his tone carrying a hint of arrogance:
"Fellow Daoist, you are overthinking this. My Black Rock Fleet is the elite of the Eternal Chamber of Commerce, with countless powerful warriors under its command and even True God in command. We are not afraid at all even if we directly engage in battle with the Hongmeng Giant Kun!"
However, the method of the True God is the safest and least costly, and there is no need to take unnecessary risks.
The implication was nothing more than mocking Han Xuanji for being ignorant.
Han Xuanji quickly cupped his hands in a gesture of respect and explained earnestly:
"Fellow Daoist, you misunderstand. This junior has no doubt about your strength, but I simply feel that it would be best to hunt down this Hongmeng Giant Kun as soon as possible."
His words left everyone puzzled, even Hun Qianling was somewhat surprised, turning to look at Han Xuanji with her eyes full of confusion.
Han Xuanji is usually calm and composed, and never tries to show off easily. Why is he speaking so much in front of the True God Black Rock today, even questioning the True God's decisions?
Han Xuanji noticed the dissatisfaction and doubt in everyone's eyes, and knew that if he continued to keep them in suspense, it might cause unnecessary misunderstandings, so he quickly explained:
"Fellow Daoists, to be honest, when we were at our resting place, I noticed that although this Hongmeng Giant Kun was heavily injured and its aura was weak, it was secretly transmitting an extremely subtle signal."
I suspect it is gathering its own kind, those powerful Hongmeng Variant of the same level as itself. If it summons them, we will be attacked from both sides, and unexpected events may occur."
In truth, Han Xuanji didn't want to show off like this, nor did he want to question True God Black Rock's decision, but he really didn't dare to gamble.
If it really drags on for ten years, and a powerful Hongmeng Variant is summoned, True God Black Rock might be able to protect himself, but he and Hun Qianling would probably become cannon fodder. At that time, let alone reaching the Eternal Continent, whether they could even survive would be unknown.
He did this ultimately to protect himself, fearing that he would be drawn into unnecessary crises.
Han Xuanji's words immediately plunged the main control room into deep thought.
The cultivators present were all seasoned veterans, not stubborn fools, and naturally understood that the risks Han Xuanji spoke of were not unfounded.
While most of these Hongmeng Variant are solitary, this Hongmeng Giant Kun is indeed different; it is quite united. If it were to be summoned, the consequences would be unimaginable.
True God Black Rock's expression also turned solemn. He remained silent for a moment, then spoke in a deep voice towards the control panel:
What about the analysts?
A moment later, three cultivators dressed in white robes, whose auras had reached the Eternal Dao Master Realm, hurried over. They were all analysts from the Eternal Chamber of Commerce who specialized in studying Primordial Hongmeng Variant. They had been studying the habits and behaviors of various Hongmeng Variant for many years and were very experienced.
After bowing to the True God Black Rock, the three waited quietly for instructions.
"Just now, this young man said that this Hongmeng Giant Kun is transmitting a signal to summon its kind. How likely is that?"
"True God Black Rock asked in a deep voice."
The lead analyst pondered for a moment, then slowly replied:
"Reporting to the True God, what this fellow Daoist said is indeed a possibility."
Based on past experience hunting the Hongmeng Giant Kun, these giant Kun often travel in groups, but they mostly stay in the dangerous areas of the Primordial Sea.
The number of these large Hongmeng Variant in the safe zone is already small, and they mostly operate in a scattered manner. Even if it is really gathering its kind, it is not certain that any powerful individuals will come. There shouldn't be too much of a problem."
This ambiguous answer caused True God Black Rock's brows to furrow instantly, his expression clearly showing displeasure.
He has always been cautious in his actions and dislikes uncertain answers like "maybe" or "should." If an accident were to occur, the entire fleet could be in danger.
Just then, a powerful figure clad in silver armor, whose aura had reached the peak of the Eternal True Lord Realm, stepped forward. His gaze fell upon Han Xuanji, and his tone carried a hint of doubt and scrutiny:
"Fellow Daoist Han, we have been dealing with Hongmeng Variant for many years, yet we have never noticed this subtle signal. You are merely an Eternal Dao Master, so how could you have detected it?"
Please enlighten me, fellow Daoist.
Clearly, this suggests some suspicion that Han Xuanji was making baseless accusations or trying to gain favor.
At the same time, an elderly man in a white robe, his eyes gleaming, slowly said:
"Young friend, you can't just say things carelessly. Although True God Black Rock is easy to talk to, you can't just make up things to fool people..."
Han Xuanji felt helpless, knowing that this matter could not be hidden in the end, and could only tell the truth:
"Senior, you may not know this, but in my cultivation of the Dao of Principle of time and space, and destiny. In addition, I have cultivated a Secret Method for the divine soul, which makes me more sensitive to these subtle signals than ordinary people. I only noticed it unintentionally just now."
Upon hearing this, everyone in the main control room was shocked, their faces showing disbelief.
True God Black Rock leaned slightly forward, his eyes revealing genuine emotion for the first time.
The two Dao Principles of time and space and destiny are the most profound and difficult to comprehend in the Eternal Realm. Even the geniuses of the nine supreme forces are considered exceptionally talented if they can comprehend one of them. Han Xuanji, who is only at the level of Eternal Dao Master, is able to comprehend both of them at the same time. This level of comprehension and fortuitous opportunity is simply inconceivable.
Hun Qianling, standing to the side, looked at Han Xuanji with even greater shock, her heart filled with turbulent waves.
She had been with Han Xuanji for so many years, and although she knew he was exceptionally talented, she never imagined that he possessed such terrifying mastery of the Dao Principles.
Actually, there's something Han Xuanji doesn't know.
In the Eternal Continent, there are countless paths to cultivation, but not all cultivators are devoted to the Dao of Principle.
