The Fortune of Heaven and Earth Resides in the Human Heart
"Yes, I understand." Han Xiangzi nodded quickly.
Ao Changsheng continued, "Fellow Daoist Han, I created this Dao of the Primordial World, and I have certain privileges to use it. However, I can only help you this far now; the rest is up to you to comprehend."
"I understand!" Han Xiangzi nodded again.
Ao Changsheng nodded. "It's good that Fellow Daoist Han understands. Please come in now!"
"Yes, this junior takes his leave!" Han Xiangzi bowed and left, pondering Ao Changsheng's words.
After Han Xiangzi left, Ao Changsheng closed his eyes, and a figure of light appeared behind him. That figure was Ao Changsheng himself.
Watching Han Xiangzi's departing figure, Ao Changsheng sighed inwardly, "Ah, Han Xiangzi, I hope you succeed soon. I'm still waiting to see your performance!"
After saying this, Ao Changsheng's physical body disappeared into the void, while his true form returned to his own body, where he began to cultivate again.
"Han Xiangzi, you must keep going! I look forward to your breakthrough soon, and then you can lead your little brothers to conquer the entire Primordial World. You'll definitely bring me a surprise then."
At this moment, Han Xiangzi had already entered the cave abode. He arrived at the entrance of the cave abode and knocked on the door.
Soon, Ao Guang's voice came from inside. "Who is it?"
"Reporting to the Palace Master, it is this junior, Han Xiangzi."
"Oh, it's you! Please come in!"
"Yes, Your Highness!"
The door opened, and Han Xiangzi stepped inside. Ao Guang was sitting in a chair reading a book. Upon seeing Han Xiangzi, he asked, "How was it? How was your harvest this time?"
"Reporting to the Palace Master, Han Xiangzi did not obtain any treasures this time, but instead made some new discoveries!" Han Xiangzi replied respectfully.
"Oh, what new discovery? Tell me about it!" Ao Guang put down his book and asked.
"Palace Master, this time I discovered three Divergent Flame. These are unlike anything I've ever seen before, and the flames within are extraordinary, far more intense than those of ordinary Divergent Flame. Such flames are undoubtedly treasures. I plan to conquer them all and refine them into pills for my senior brothers to consume. I believe they will all make rapid progress, which will greatly reduce the troubles in our Primordial World."
"Oh, I see. That's good. I was just worrying about this too. I've already given orders to send disciples out to explore the vicinity of those Divergent Flame in the next few days. If they find any treasures, report to me immediately. We also need to hurry up and refine those flames into pills for our senior brothers to consume."
"Yes, Your Highness!"
"Also, Fellow Daoist Han, you must remember, this matter must never be revealed, especially not to those disciples, understand?"
"Yes, Your Highness."
"Alright, you can go now!" Ao Guang waved his hand, and Han Xiangzi bowed and withdrew.
"Ao Guang, you old codger, you broke your promise! You tricked me into helping you explore the Dao of the Primordial World, huh? You just wanted to take this opportunity to improve your cultivation, didn't you? Too bad, your plan has failed." An angry roar came from behind Ao Guang.
"Hmph, no matter if your cultivation has broken through or not, you are still no match for me. I advise you to stop struggling. I will never let you go. You'd better come back with me obediently, or I'll make you wish you were dead!" Ao Guang sneered.
"Hmph, you're dreaming! I'd rather be annihilated than go back with you, you old ghost! I advise you to give up now, or you'll be dead when the cultivators of the Dao of the Primordial World arrive!"
"Don't try to scare me. Your cultivation is far inferior to mine. What waves can you possibly make?" Ao Guang was not afraid at all.
"You old bastard, don't push me too far, or I'll definitely kill you!"
"Alright, come on, let's have a fight right now and see who dies in the end. Hehe, your cultivation is no match for mine!" Ao Guang said smugly.
"You despicable scoundrel, even if it means my death, I will not let you succeed!"
"Hmph, you old fool, no matter what you say now, it's useless. I advise you to obediently come back with me!" Ao Guang looked confident of victory, as if Han Xiangzi had no chance of escaping. He slowly raised his palm, and a huge suction force was generated, with a stream of black gas gushing out from his palm.
The black gas enveloped Han Xiangzi, firmly holding Han Xiangzi body in place, and no matter how much Han Xiangzi struggled, it was to no avail.
Soon, Han Xiangzi's body became shriveled, and even the color of his bones faded. Eventually, Han Xiangzi's physical body began to wither. Just as Ao Guang was about to devour Han Xiangzi, a flash of light appeared, and Han Xiangzi's body instantly returned to its original state. He had a smile on his face and a relaxed expression.
Ao Guang was shocked. "How are you alright? Didn't I capture you?"
Han Xiangzi smiled slightly and said, "I was indeed captured by you just now, but who am I? I am a powerful Divine Ability at the Nascent Soul Realm. You think you could capture me? You underestimate me too much! My cultivation is beyond your reach!"
"What? Your cultivation has actually reached the Nascent Soul Realm?" Ao Guang said in surprise.
"That's right, you old scoundrel, now you know how powerful I am!"
"Damn it, you hid it so well!" Ao Guang said indignantly.
"Alright, stop with the sarcastic remarks. Tell me, what is it that you summoned me here?" Han Xiangzi looked at Ao Guang.
Upon hearing this, Ao Guang pondered for a moment and said, "Fellow Daoist Han, we are currently in a perilous situation and need some external assistance. I want you to help us resist the invasion of the Devil Race and the Demon Race!"
"Devil Race, Demon Race, what are those?"
"This..." Ao Guang hesitated for a moment, but still didn't tell Han Xiangzi about the two major races, fearing that Han Xiangzi would refuse.
"What? You can't say? That's fine then. In that case, I'll leave now. I don't care anyway."
"No, no, Fellow Daoist Han, please calm down!" Ao Guang hurriedly stopped Han Xiangzi. He couldn't let Han Xiangzi leave, because once Han Xiangzi left, he didn't know when he would have to wait for the next time.
"Fellow Daoist Han, please agree. Don't put me in a difficult position!"
"What exactly do you mean, you old fool? I'm already here, can't I just agree to your request?" Han Xiangzi said, frowning.
"Of course not, but I can't completely trust you yet. I need to verify it first, otherwise I won't feel at ease."
"How... how do you want to verify this?"
