This is why a Primal Chaos can attract people's attention.
If you're lucky, you might encounter a faction that wants to continuously cultivate talent, which could allow it to exist as a secret realm, but it would also block the growth space of the original inhabitants.
However, if one is unlucky, it might be directly refined into the origin of the Chaos Dao Principle by some powerful beings and given to low-level cultivators on the Eternal Continent to comprehend the Great Dao.
Of course, all nine supreme powers on the Eternal Continent have explicitly forbidden this from happening. If discovered, they will be hunted down by all nine supreme powers!
However, driven by huge profits, many people still take the risk.
Hun Qianling said that she often heard people say that there are people who specialize in finding Primal Chaos and then selling it to some powerful forces.
These people will receive a huge sum of money for finding and keeping quiet.
Meanwhile, on the other side...
True God Black Rock also summoned Hui Feng in the captain's lounge for a private meeting.
The room was softly lit, and only the two of them sat facing each other. Lacking the imposing presence they displayed in front of outsiders, True God Black Rock's expression softened considerably.
"Feng'er, you chatted with Han Xuanji for a long time today. Tell me, what kind of person do you think he is?"
True God Black Rock picked up the spiritual tea on the table, took a small sip, and asked in a calm tone, but a hint of inquiry was hidden in his eyes.
Although he admired Han Xuanji's talent, he valued character even more, which was the key to whether he was willing to truly form a good relationship with him.
Upon hearing this, Hui Feng did not hesitate for a moment, pondered seriously, and then truthfully replied:
"Master, I haven't had much contact with Brother Han; we've only exchanged a few words."
I do not cultivate the Dao of Principle, so I cannot discern his true talent in those Dao Principles, nor do I understand those profound techniques. However, I can sense that Brother Han is a person of good character.
He paused, then added:
"I was a bit arrogant in my words before, but Brother Han was not arrogant at all. He was humble and sincere, without the arrogance of those geniuses of the Principle. Even though he knew I was your disciple, he did not try to curry favor with me. On the contrary, he was willing to listen to me talk about the Dao of the Physical Body. He is a person worth befriending."
True God Black Rock nodded slowly, a hint of approval in his eyes. He put down his teacup and spoke solemnly:
"You're right. No matter how talented someone is, if they have poor character and a wicked heart, there's no point in forming a relationship with them."
Han Xuanji is exceptionally talented, yet he maintains his integrity, remaining humble and composed—a truly commendable quality.
As he spoke, True God Black Rock's expression softened, and a hint of barely perceptible emotion crept into his voice as he confided his innermost thoughts to Hui Feng:
"Feng'er, as you know, I cultivate the Dao of Physical Body Immortality, and I have been stuck at the Peak Eternal True God for tens of thousands of years. How difficult it is to break through to the Sage Realm."
Therefore, over the years, whenever I encounter talented and virtuous young people, I always try to mentor them.
He chuckled self-deprecatingly and continued:
"To be honest, there was a bit of selfishness involved. I thought that if these young people could achieve something in the future, they might be able to help me when I need to break through."
After all, the threshold of the Sage Realm is far too difficult to cross. I'm afraid that even if I spent my entire life trying, I might not be able to get past it."
Upon hearing this, Hui Feng's nose tingled, his eyes reddened slightly, and his voice became somewhat choked:
"Master, I... I will definitely cultivate desperately from now on, break through as soon as possible, and become stronger. I will definitely help you and never let you face the difficulties of breaking through alone!"
He was raised by True God Black Rock from a young age, and they were not only master and disciple, but also like father and son. He saw and remembered all the hardships True God Black Rock had gone through.
Looking at his sincere appearance, True God Black Rock couldn't help but burst into laughter, patted Hui Feng on the shoulder, and said with satisfaction:
"Haha, good lad, your master believes in you."
You have exceptional talent and are willing to work hard. As long as you progress steadily, you will surely surpass me in the future, and may even reach the Sage Realm, becoming more successful than me.
After saying that, he waved his hand, his tone gentle:
"Alright, that's enough. Go back and focus on your cultivation. Use this time on the return journey to solidify your cultivation and don't let me down."
"Yes, Master!"
Hui Feng nodded vigorously, suppressing his emotions, bowed deeply to the True God Black Rock, then turned and strode away with firm steps, his mind focused on only one thought.
He must become stronger as soon as possible to help his master break through his cultivation level.
After Hui Feng's figure completely disappeared, the smile on True God Black Rock's face gradually faded. He sighed softly, his expression full of exhaustion. He looked out the window at the vast Primordial Sea, and his thoughts drifted into the distance.
Just then, a dark figure silently appeared in the room, concealed in the shadows, and bowed to the True God Black Rock, his tone hesitant:
" True God, I have something to say, but I don't know whether I should or shouldn't."
Is Hui Feng really worth investing so many resources in training?
Your other disciples are starting to feel dissatisfied, believing you are too biased. There are also many rumors circulating that you are disregarding the rules of the Chamber of Commerce and showing favoritism towards your disciples.
True God Black Rock slowly turned his head, his gaze regaining its majesty, and gently shook his head:
You don't understand.
His gaze drifted away again, and the image of the first time he saw Hui Feng appeared in his mind—that small figure with a firm look in his eyes, who refused to bow his head even in dire straits, much like himself back then when he had nothing but did his best to cultivate the Dao of the Physical Body.
" Hui Feng is a pure-hearted, extremely resilient, and hardworking child. He possesses Spiritual Qi and opportunities that I lacked back then."
True God Black Rock's tone carried a certain certainty.
"I believe that one day he will surpass me, break free from the shackles of the Dao of the Physical Body, reach the Sage Realm Stage, and perhaps even go further."
Upon hearing this, the figure in the shadows said no more, but simply bowed silently and stood quietly to the side, not daring to disturb the True God Black Rock's thoughts any further.
"That prodigy who cultivates the Dao of Principle?"
"Treat him well and don't neglect him. I plan to recruit him into the fleet first, and then recommend him to important figures in the merchant guild."
"Good."
The figure in the shadows nodded, bowed, and left.
On the other side.
After listening to Hun Qianling's detailed explanation, Han Xuanji smiled knowingly, his tone slightly teasing, and said softly:
"So, someone like me, who comprehended the Dao of Principle Chaos, broke through to the Eternal Dao Master, and condensed the rare Dao Principles time and space and destiny, is quite sought after on the Eternal Continent?"
Upon hearing this, Hun Qianling couldn't help but roll her eyes, but she nodded seriously, her tone solemn:
"It's not just a hot commodity, it's a treasure that all the major powers are vying for."
"Simply cultivating the Dao of Principle is nothing special; there are many cultivators on the Eternal Continent who follow the Dao of Principle. But to break through to the Eternal Dao Master Realm at your age, and simultaneously condense the two extremely rare Eternal Dao Principle of Destiny and Spacetime, is different. Naturally, you will be valued by all the major powers."
