Rebirth of the Wilderness

Chapter 158: 2 Phases of Fear

After hearing Zhao Song's dignified apology, Taoist Hongjun couldn't help but feel a little surprised.

He originally thought that after the vision of his becoming a saint spread throughout the prehistoric world, although Zhao Song was of the same generation as him, as a cultivator, he would definitely be in awe of him, and might even feel a little uneasy.

However, Zhao Song's performance was beyond his expectations. He was so calm and composed, as if he didn't care about his identity and achievements.

"This Yantian Daoist is quite interesting. I wonder what his confidence is."

Taoist Hongjun thought to himself, and then decided to observe Zhao Song more carefully.

He slowly released his spiritual sense, trying to penetrate Zhao Song's cultivation and aura, and explore his true strength and background.

However, what surprised Taoist Hongjun even more was that he couldn't see through Zhao Song!

Under his divine consciousness, Zhao Song seemed to be shrouded by an invisible barrier. His cultivation, aura and soul fluctuations all seemed vague and elusive.

"How can this be?"

Taoist Hongjun felt an indescribable shock in his heart.

You know, as the top powerful person in the prehistoric world and the first person to become a saint in the prehistoric world, he has already reached the pinnacle of cultivation.

There should be no one in the entire prehistoric world who can't be seen through by him.

Unexpectedly, the first Taoist priest of the same generation as Tianyan whom he met after becoming a saint was someone he could not understand at all!

Although he knew before that Taoist Yantian was extraordinary, at this moment, Taoist Hongjun became more interested in Zhao Song.

He began to re-examine this seemingly ordinary young man, his heart filled with curiosity and doubt.

"Yantian Daoist, who on earth are you? Why can't I see through you until now?"

Taoist Hongjun was thinking secretly, and at the same time considering how to communicate with Zhao Song next.

He knew very well that behind someone like Zhao Song there must be extraordinary opportunities and secrets.

However, since becoming a saint, Hongjun knew how much he had improved. It could be said that there was a world of difference between him and before. He became less concerned about opportunities and treasures.

So, Taoist Hongjun put away his surprise and curiosity and returned to his calm and composed look.

He continued to communicate with Zhao Song in a more peaceful and humble manner.

This time, there was more inquiry and scrutiny in his eyes, trying to find more clues and answers about Zhao Song's identity from his words and actions.

As the communication deepened, Taoist Hongjun felt more and more that Zhao Song was extraordinary.

He skillfully used various methods to test Zhao Song, and finally confirmed an astonishing fact - Zhao Song had broken through to the Hunyuan Daluo realm, and it was obvious that this was not his first time entering this realm.

This discovery filled Taoist Hongjun with indescribable surprise and shock.

"It's incredible, how did he break through!"

Taoist Hongjun thought to himself, "I was the first being in the prehistoric world to achieve the holy realm. I thought I had reached the pinnacle of cultivation and could look down upon the world."

However, the appearance of Taoist Yantian broke Taoist Hongjun's cognition.

"As expected, we should not underestimate anyone. He was able to break through to the Hunyuan Daluo realm on his own. This talent and perseverance are truly admirable."

Taoist Hongjun recalled the difficulties and hardships he had experienced in his struggle to break through to the peak of the Hunyuan Golden Immortal. At that time, he seemed to be trapped in an invisible cage, and no matter how hard he tried, he could not find an opportunity to break through.

Ultimately, he could only rely on his immense luck to embark on the path of becoming a saint.

However, Zhao Song was able to cross this threshold alone with his own strength and wisdom. The gap and difference between them made Taoist Hongjun deeply admire him.

"Master Yantian, although we already knew that you were a recognized genius in the early days of the prehistoric world, it seems that everyone still underestimated you. You are indeed extraordinary."

Taoist Hongjun looked at Zhao Song, his eyes gleaming with admiration and expectation. "You were able to break through to the Hunyuan Daluo realm on your own. This achievement and glory is enough to make countless practitioners envious."

Zhao Song heard this and quickly responded modestly: "Daoyou Hongjun, you are too kind. I just broke through by luck. Daoyou, as the first saint in the prehistoric world, is really amazing."

Zhao Song's humble response made Taoist Hongjun appreciate his qualities even more.

He knew very well that truly strong people often possessed the quality of humility and would not be complacent because of temporary achievements.

Zhao Song's words undoubtedly once again confirmed his extraordinaryness.

So Taoist Hongjun smiled and said: "Daoyou Yantian is too modest, your achievements and efforts cannot be erased by anyone.

Although I, Hongjun, am the first saint in the prehistoric world, I also have many shortcomings and confusions on the path of cultivation.

It was really beneficial to communicate with you today.

Fellow Daoist Yantian, let us say goodbye now.

I hope that in the future we can meet again and discuss the true meaning of practice together."

Taoist Hongjun bowed to Zhao Song, then his figure flashed and disappeared above Qingyan Mountain.

Since it was confirmed that Zhao Song was the one who refined the soul law, and Zhao Song had also broken through to the Hunyuan Daluo realm and seemed no weaker than himself, Hongjun did not say much.

Hongjun knew in his heart that although he had achieved the status of a saint, the path of cultivation would never end. Strictly speaking, he was not yet at the true Hunyuan Daluo realm. It was just that with the blessing of the prehistoric world, he possessed far greater strength than ordinary Hunyuan Daluo realm practitioners.

The reason why he couldn’t see through Yan Tiandao now was because his soul law had been refined by someone else. He had just achieved sainthood and had not had time to deeply experience the mystery, so he hurried out to look for the person who refined the soul law.

Now that he knew it, he needed to hurry up and experience the various mysteries of the saint realm so that he could be more adept at future practice and avoid being unable to see through a person in this vast world.

"The saint is blessed by heaven and earth. He is indeed extraordinary and his power is endless."

Seeing Hongjun leave, Zhao Song also breathed a sigh of relief, thinking to himself, "Although I have cultivated to become a Hunyuan Daluo Zhenxian, I still seem a little inadequate in front of a saint.

It seems that I need to practice harder to gain a foothold in this world."

Zhao Song thought to himself, "Although I have become a Hunyuan Daluo Zhenxian, I still need to be cautious and respectful in front of such an existence and not be careless."

Thinking of this, Zhao Song's eyes became more determined.

Not only Hongjun was testing Zhao Song, Zhao Song was also testing Hongjun. As he expected, although Hongjun had just broken through to the level of a sage, and was probably at most at the level of a Hunyuan Daluo Immortal, while he had gone a step further and cultivated himself into a Hunyuan Daluo True Immortal, in this vast world, he might not be stronger than Hongjun.
