Ancestor Hongjun couldn't help but smile and shake his head when he saw Zhao Shuo being so funny and said: "Zhao Shuo, there is no one else here. Please tell me what level your strength has reached now. Although you have restrained your aura, But that unfathomable, abyss-like-ocean feeling can be hidden from others but not from me."
Zhao Shuo glanced at Ancestor Hongjun in surprise, but if he thought about it carefully, it was reasonable for Ancestor Hongjun to be able to detect the change in his strength. After all, Ancestor Hongjun was already extremely powerful. , and now I have suddenly become so unfathomable in the eyes of Ancestor Hongjun. Not to mention Ancestor Hongjun, even I would be very curious.
Zhao Shuo just didn't want to expose his strength, but it was not impossible to tell Ancestor Hongjun, so looking at Ancestor Hongjun, Zhao Shuo chuckled and said, "What does Ancestor think my strength is?" What¡¯s the level?¡±
Patriarch Hongjun looked Zhao Shuo up and down, and said with a bit of joking and a bit of speculation: "Could it be that your strength has reached the level of a great sage?"
Obviously, Patriarch Hongjun said this with a bit of a joke. At least he didn't think that Zhao Shuo's strength could break through to the realm of the Great Sage in such a short period of time. Maybe Zhao Shuo's strength has increased a lot, but it has not reached the level of a great sage. Less than the level of a great sage.
But Zhao Shuo nodded towards Ancestor Hongjun in the astonished eyes of Ancestor Hongjun. Ancestor Hongjun suddenly opened his mouth wide and looked at Zhao Shuo with a look of shock in his eyes, as if he was digesting what Zhao Shuo had brought him. He was so shocked that when Patriarch Hongjun came to his senses, he heard Patriarch Hongjun say to Zhao Shuo: "Zhao Shuo, are you kidding me?"
Zhao Shuo said: "How could I joke about such a thing? Besides, there seems to be no benefit for me to lie."
As he spoke, Zhao Shuo let go of his aura, and the aura that belonged exclusively to the Great Sage suddenly spread out from Zhao Shuo's body. Just that aura made Patriarch Hongjun almost unbearable and stepped back. step.
Feeling the aura emanating from Zhao Shuo's body, Patriarch Hongjun completely believed Zhao Shuo's words at this time. He was really familiar with the aura on Zhao Shuo's body. It was the aura that only a strong sage could have.
But Patriarch Hongjun still felt like he was in a dream. It was too incredible. Zhao Shuo's strength had improved so much. Although he had accepted Zhao Shuo's abnormality, this time Zhao Shuo brought His surprise was really too big.
In just a short period of a hundred years, Zhao Shuo suddenly became a powerful great sage from a half-step of the great sage.
Zhao Shuo watched the change in the expression of Ancestor Hongjun with great interest. The corners of his mouth were slightly raised as he looked at Ancestor Hongjun, but he did not bother Ancestor Hongjun and waited for Ancestor Hongjun to calm down.
After a while, Patriarch Hongjun finally calmed down from the shock that Zhao Shuo brought to him. He looked at Zhao Shuo with a wry smile and said, "If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I would have felt it with my own eyes. Such momentum, even if you tell me, I¡¯m afraid I won¡¯t believe it.¡±
Of course, Zhao Shuo also knew that he had become a powerful great sage. If this matter were really told, not many people would believe it. It¡¯s not that everyone didn¡¯t believe him, but that everyone didn¡¯t believe that such an incredible thing would happen. things.
Some half-step great sages will never get a glimpse of the realm of the great sage even if they spend their entire lives, not to mention Zhao Shuo, who has only become a half-step great sage not many years ago.
This is like telling a cultivator who has practiced for countless years to become a saint, and an ordinary person who has become a saint overnight. You can imagine how many people will believe such news.
Zhao Shuo restrained his aura, looked at Patriarch Hongjun and said, "I just don't want to cause trouble, so I restrained my aura, so as not to cause any trouble."
Ancestor Hongjun nodded and said: "Your choice is right. Your breakthrough to become a powerful Great Sage really needs to be kept secret. Don't tell others if you can. With such a hidden power like you, Or, by then, even if we face the Chaos Demon God clan, we will have enough power to counterattack."
Zhao Shuo said: "I think the same way, so I didn't even inform Patriarch Wanying. It can be said that apart from Taoist Xiyue, I also told Patriarch Hongjun that you are the only one."
Ancestor Hongjun said with a smile: "That's good, but it's not impossible for people like Ancestor Xuanxuan and others to tell them. I believe they will be very excited after knowing that you have become a powerful great saint, and they won't have to bear such a heavy burden. burden."
The existence of the Chaos Demon God is a heavy burden for everyone. Even if it is certain that the Chaos Demon God will not attack them in the short term, as long as the Chaos Demon God exists, it will inevitably bring pressure to everyone.??
If the news that Zhao Shuo has become a powerful Great Sage is known to Ancestor Xuanxuan and the others, coupled with the existence of Taoist Xiyue, it means that there are two powerful Great Sages on their side. With such a background, there is no need to continue. Don't worry about the Chaos Demon God. Even if the Chaos Demon God really comes out in full force, then the two sides will at most be evenly matched. It can be said that the power of two powerful saints can be called even in the huge Hongmeng. It is an extremely powerful force.
The Chaos Demon God clan has a great reputation in Hongmeng, but even so, there are only three great saints in the Chaos Demon God clan.
At this time, Ancestor Hongjun looked very relaxed. This relaxed look was the first time Zhao Shuo had seen Ancestor Hongjun on his face. You must know that every time he saw Ancestor Hongjun in the past, Old Ancestor Hongjun would be so relaxed. Zu's expression is always so solemn, as if he has an endless heart at all times.
The stronger the strength, the greater the responsibility. Zhao Shuo didn't feel much about the truth of this sentence when he was weak in the past. But now that his strength is unpredictable, the pressure on him is naturally getting bigger and bigger. How does he feel about that sentence? It becomes even more profound.
In such a vast prehistoric world, it can be said that if it had not been for the rise of Zhao Shuo, the pressure would have been on Ancestor Hongjun. With such a huge pressure on his shoulders, it would be strange if Ancestor Hongjun could relax.
Now that Ancestor Hongjun has learned that Zhao Shuo has become a powerful Great Sage, Ancestor Hongjun immediately relaxed. After relaxing, Ancestor Hongjun felt that his mind was clear and he had been stagnant. There are actually signs of improvement in cultivation, which makes Patriarch Hongjun extremely excited.
Zhao Shuo naturally noticed the fluctuations in the aura of Ancestor Hongjun, and couldn't help but said to Ancestor Hongjun with a bit of joy: "Ancestor, your strength seems to have improved again, you might as well go into seclusion and practice, maybe when you wait After coming out of seclusion, the ancestor will be a powerful sage."
Ancestor Hongjun couldn't help laughing and said to Zhao Shuo: "I accept your good advice from Zhao Shuo. With your support, I don't have to worry so much anymore. I will go into seclusion right now. Don't let anyone come unless necessary." disturb me."
Seeing Ancestor Hongjun looking relieved, Zhao Shuo couldn't help but stare at Ancestor Hongjun in shock. Even Zhao Shuo had always subconsciously regarded Ancestor Hongjun as the Pillar of Optimism, even with his current strength. After great advancement, Zhao Shuo still respects Patriarch Hongjun extremely.
It's just that Patriarch Hongjun suddenly put on a posture of unloading a heavy burden, which made Zhao Shuo couldn't help but become a little anxious, and couldn't help but said to Patriarch Hongjun: "Ancestor, please don't, this ancient world The overall situation of the world still needs you to control it. If you leave it alone, everyone will lose their confidence and direction."
It has to be said that the imprint that Ancestor Hongjun left on the great world is too heavy. Even if Zhao Shuo breaks through and becomes a powerful sage, it is impossible to replace the influence of Ancestor Hongjun.
Ancestor Hongjun's influence has been deeply rooted in people's hearts over the years, and Zhao Shuo also has a great reputation, but that fame is more due to Zhao Shuo's repeated killing of powerful demons of the same level. In the impression of most people, Zhao Shuo is just powerful. When it comes to other things, Zhao Shuo cannot compare with Patriarch Hongjun.
Of course, Ancestor Hongjun knows this, but the pressure he has been under has been so heavy, and now Zhao Shuo can help him bear it. Of course, Ancestor Hongjun also wants to relax, so Ancestor Hongjun said to Zhao Shuo: "Zhao Shuo , you are now the pillar of our great world. In the future, it will be you who controls the direction of the great world. It doesn¡¯t matter if you adapt early. Besides, it is impossible for the Chaos Demon God to invade now. You can also take the opportunity to rectify the situation. Let¡¯s take a look at the current situation of the great world.¡±
Zhao Shuo looked at Patriarch Hongjun and said with a thought: "Ancestor, what do you mean"
Ancestor Hongjun smiled bitterly and said: "You also know that there are tens of thousands of forces in the great world now. With so much strength, at best it sounds like a hundred flowers blooming, and at worst it means nothing but scattered sand. However, the main reason for such a situation is It's because of me, so under such circumstances, even I can't change the situation. A strong person must stand up and use thunderous means to integrate all forces."
Zhao Shuo couldn¡¯t help but smile bitterly after hearing what Patriarch Hongjun said. This is indeed not a good job, and as Patriarch Hongjun said, not everyone can implement it.
¡°Tongtian Sect Ancestor cannot do it, not even Ancestor Hongjun can do it. After thinking about it, it seems that he is the most suitable person to be this evil person.
Seeing Zhao Shuo's expression, Patriarch Hongjun knew that Zhao Shuo had agreed without any objection, and with Zhao Shuo's intelligence, he could also see the key relationship. In the vast world of ancient times, this could be done. There is really only Zhao Shuo?.
Reaching out and patting Zhao Shuo on the shoulder, Hongjun Ancestor comforted Zhao Shuo and said, "Zhao Shuo, this matter must be done. One is to cut through the mess quickly and use thunderous means under the pressure of the Chaos Demon God." Clean up the various forces and forcibly merge them. In addition, under the current relaxed situation, slowly integrate and avoid using thunderous methods as much as possible."
Zhao Shuo said to Ancestor Hongjun: "Ancestor, you don't have to say anything. I know what to do. Someone has to do it anyway, and the most suitable person to come forward is me. Maybe everyone will know about it by then." I have some complaints, but I believe these people will view my actions fairly in the future."
Patriarch Hongjun certainly knew that Zhao Shuo had taken over this matter, which could be said to have pushed him to the opposite side of almost 70% to 80% of cultivators in the world. Even if some of the long-term vision was removed, Zhao Shuo's cultivators could be understood, but by then There will definitely be more than half the cultivators who will oppose, curse or even resent Zhao Shuo at any time, so not everyone can handle this matter.
Zhao Shuo left Zixiao Palace with a wry smile on his face. Unexpectedly, Patriarch Hongjun left him here, but ended up finding him such a thankless job to do. The key is this matter He couldn't help but refuse.
When Zhao Shuo returned to Shenglong Mountain, he saw a group of people waiting for him above Shenglong Mountain from a distance. A closer look revealed that it was Bai Jianjia, the girls, Changle layman and other powerful people from the Qitian Mansion. There were hundreds of people in the group. Said to be the core strength of Qitian Mansion.
When everyone saw Zhao Shuo's figure appearing above Shenglong Mountain, everyone's faces showed joy, and they saw Bai Jianjia and the other girls heading towards Zhao Shuo.
Zhao Shuo held Bai Jianjia and the girls in his arms and comforted them softly. If Zhao Shuo had been away for such a long time, the real worry should be for Bai Jianjia and the girls. It can be said that since Zhao Shuo left, the girls have been He had no peace of mind, and now that he finally had Zhao Shuo back, he naturally lost control of his emotions.
Zhao Shuo spent a lot of effort to appease the girls, at least without making them lose their composure in front of all his subordinates.
Led by Changle layman and several other powerful men, everyone saluted Zhao Shuo and said, "Welcome the master of the palace back to the palace."
Zhao Shuo smiled slightly, stretched out his hand and said, "You don't need to be so polite. Just follow me back to the mountain."
Everyone lowered their heads and entered the meeting hall one after another. Many core powerhouses from Qitian Mansion gathered in the meeting hall. Zhao Shuo sat on the main seat surrounded by Bai Jianjia and the other girls. He glanced over. Everyone felt Zhao Shuo's gaze and immediately stood in awe.
Zhao Shuo coughed slightly and said: "The master of this palace has been away for more than a hundred years. During these more than a hundred years, thanks to your tireless assistance, Jianjia and the others have managed our Qitian Mansion in an orderly manner. It can be said that you have made great contributions to the grand occasion today, and Zhao Shuo would like to thank you all very much."
"As he spoke, Zhao Shuo stood up and bowed to everyone. They did not expect that Zhao Shuo would do this. Everyone stood up reflexively and quickly bowed to the end, not daring to accept Zhao Shuo's thank you.
