Jian Yin learned that Lin Heng had comprehended the Realm of No Dao.
The initial feeling was naturally one of joy.
This proves that he didn't choose the wrong person.
Lin Heng certainly has that kind of talent and has the potential to become someone like himself and Gu Jianhua.
Only in this way can we have a chance to break the Ancient Clan's trap.
But then, Jian Yin began to panic again.
Given Lin Heng's exceptional talent, wouldn't the Ancient Clan be tempted?
If Gu Jianhua really does offer countless temptations.
Will Lin Heng be able to withstand it?
To put it another way...
What if Lin Heng really did join the Ancient Clan?
So how should I choose?
Just as Jian Yin was internally processing a series of reactions...
Lin Heng suddenly saw him smile and answer Jian Yin's question.
"A year ago, when I killed Mo Chen and had just gone into seclusion, the patriarch of the Ancient Clan had already come to find me."
Jian Yin was greatly alarmed, and his expression changed drastically.
Did Gu Jianhua come to see Lin Heng a year ago when Lin Heng first entered seclusion?
Jian Yin frowned.
After Lin Heng killed Mo Chen and went into seclusion, Jian Yin stayed in the Heavenly Star Sea Region to guard it.
But he never found any trace of the Ancient Clan.
How did Gu Jianhua manage to evade his senses and find Lin Heng?
Of course, that's not important for now.
Jian Yin wanted to know what conditions Gu Jianhua had offered to win over Lin Heng.
But before he could ask, Lin Heng gave the answer.
" Gu Jianhua approached me back then, wanting me to join the Ancient Clan."
He said that as long as I was willing to join the Ancient Clan, I could enjoy the same treatment as Ancient Clan members.
"If he can rise to a higher level in the future, I will be the second person in the Ancient Clan to receive this benefit."
Upon hearing this, Jian Yin's face turned deathly pale.
The conditions offered by Gu Jianhua were indeed higher than Jian Yin had imagined.
According to Jian Yin's thinking, the Ancient Clan would most likely lure Lin Heng with conditions such as divine weapons, or even Ancient Clan techniques, to help him cultivate.
But can all of this compare to Gu Jianhua's promise?
Gu Jianhua can reach even greater heights.
Lin Heng will be the second person in the Ancient Clan to receive this benefit.
This undoubtedly shows that Gu Jianhua wanted to train Lin Heng as his successor.
Jian Yin knew this very well.
Gu Jianhua never married, so he had no children, and he never took on any disciples.
If Lin Heng agrees to this condition.
His status in the Ancient Clan will be even higher than Hai Qianmo's.
Just as Jian Yin was feeling worried about the conditions offered to Gu Jianhua.
Unexpectedly, the Mu Tong beside him suddenly laughed and said:
"Such tempting terms, how could you refuse the clan leader?"
These words startled the Jian Yin awake.
yes!
Lin Heng was able to take the initiative to recount his conversation with Gu Jianhua here.
Isn't this a message to the two of them?
Even though Gu Jianhua offered incredibly generous terms.
But will Lin Heng still choose to go to war with the Ancient Clan?
This also eased Jian Yin's tense expression.
After regrouping and reassessing my mindset.
Jian Yin also changed his mindset and said:
" Lin Heng, from a friend's perspective..."
You definitely missed a good opportunity.
Jian Yin's words were quite insightful.
A word: friend.
A change of perspective.
This inadvertently brought her closer to Lin Heng.
Lin Heng sensed Jian Yin's attempt to make amends.
In response, he said calmly:
"Whatever the benefit."
"When positions differ, it's destined that you can never be on the same path."
After Lin Heng finished speaking, he raised his hand and waved it.
Suddenly, a water curtain appeared in the center of the main hall.
This is a scene that Lin Heng recreated from his memory, depicting the moment he met Gu Jianhua.
Their every word and action was displayed on the water curtain.
Jian Yin and Mu Tong also saw everything.
When Lin Heng mentioned that he would bury Gu Jianhua himself in the future, he was overjoyed.
Jian Yin couldn't help but cast a surprised glance at Lin Heng.
Even more shocking is...
Gu Jianhua was pleased, not angry, at Lin Heng's words.
Judging from his expression, he seemed to regard Lin Heng as a rival.
At this moment, even Jian Yin couldn't help but sigh.
"In terms of vision, I am indeed inferior to Gu Jianhua."
These words were actually meant for Lin Heng, and were a way for Jian Yin to express his guilt.
Before witnessing Lin Heng's comprehension of the Realm of No Dao today.
Jian Yin and Lin Heng's past meetings seemed to be dialogues between equals.
But Jian Yin always exuded an air of arrogance.
His words just now were an apology to Lin Heng for his actions.
Gu Jianhua only met Lin Heng once.
That's how they came to have such an attitude.
This also shows that he is inferior to Gu Jianhua in the ability to judge people.
After Gu Jianhua left inside the water curtain, Lin Heng waved his hand and removed the water curtain.
"Gentlemen, no one can say for sure what will happen in the future."
"But the three of us have irreconcilable differences with the Ancient Clan."
So from this perspective...
"We have no other choice when it comes to the Ancient Clan."
Lin Heng's words were met with nods of agreement from both Jian Yin and Mu Tong.
Having laid everything out in the open, Lin Heng returned to the main topic.
"Now it's time to get down to business."
"As Brother Jian Yin said."
" Hai Qianmo is not Mo Chen; dealing with him won't be so easy."
"This can be seen from the fact that Hermoz was able to travel Four Seas and Eight Wastelands to find help for the Ancient Clan."
" Hai Qianmo's methods are indeed remarkable."
Of the three, the Mu Tong was the most familiar with Hai Qianmo, and he spoke up to share his opinion.
I know Hai Qianmo.
"He appears gentle on the surface and seems very tolerant of the younger generation of the Ancient Clan."
"But deep down, he harbored immense pride."
"It's something ingrained in my bones."
Even though he usually pretends very well.
"It will still show itself unintentionally."
Lin Heng narrowed his eyes and asked:
"You mean, Hai Qianmo looks down on people of her generation?"
The Mu Tong then gave an affirmative answer.
"Indeed, in Hai Qianmo's heart, he is undoubtedly the number one among his peers."
Lin Heng revealed a smile that was difficult to decipher.
This sent a chill down Jian Yin's spine.
" Lin Heng, you're not trying to discourage Hai Qianmo, are you?"
"Let me tell you, Hai Qianmo may be arrogant, but he has the right to be."
"Has Hai Qianmo has already reached the Return to Origin Realm among the Three Realms of Peeking at Heaven."
Incidentally, after breaking through to the Eternal Ages Cosmic Origin Realm...
First comes the Dao-Shattering Realm, then the Origin-Shattering Realm, and finally the Return to Origin Realm.
These are collectively referred to as the Three Realms of Peeking at Heaven.
The phrase "peeping at the heavens" here does not refer to gaining insight into the Heavenly Dao.
Instead, they comprehended the Tao of their own universe, no longer bound by the original universe.
Hai Qianmo's cultivation level has reached the point of Returning to the Origin.
That means that after he Shattering his own universe, he has reborn a new one.
For example...
If Lin Heng were to reach this level...
He was no longer bound by the original Primordial Chaos Universe, thus breaking free from that limitation and belonging to his own universe.
This is also an important step towards advancing to the sixth level of the universe.
