Gu Qingfeng spoke with an air of casual indifference, but his words struck Old Monster Tang like a thunderbolt on a clear day, deafening and earth-shattering, leaving him feeling as if the heavens and earth were spinning.
Immortal Dao?
Demonic Dao?
Buddhist Dao?
Even the Heavenly Dao, and the Three Thousand Great Daos are all giving this kid trouble?
Good heavens!
!!
Old Monster Tang suppressed the creeping numbness on his scalp and asked, "You kid...
Just how big of a mess have you stirred up? How could you have offended the Great Dao, and...
even the damn Three Thousand Great Daos?
My dear mother, this...
this..." Although Old Monster Tang was considered a reclusive immortal who had cultivated for ten thousand years and had seen his fair share of the world, when it came to existences like the Great Dao, he was utterly out of his depth. With his current status, cultivation, and strength, he couldn't even begin to touch the so-called Great Dao. He couldn't imagine what Gu Qingfeng had done to provoke the Three Thousand Great Daos.
Thus, he also realized that when Gu Qingfeng had previously said his feigned death was just a stroll through the Celestial Realm, Old Monster Tang now understood that this kid definitely hadn't just taken a simple stroll. This kid, born fearless and unafraid of heaven or earth, would never have been able to sit idle once he reached the Celestial Realm.
As for what exactly Gu Qingfeng had done in the Celestial Realm, Old Monster Tang didn't ask, but he knew it must have been terrifyingly, horrifyingly serious. Otherwise, he wouldn't have provoked the Three Thousand Great Daos. And he truly couldn't imagine what kind of deed could offend all Three Thousand Great Daos. Could it be that this kid had actually fought against the Three Thousand Great Daos while in the Celestial Realm?
Considering Gu Qingfeng's temperament, Old Monster Tang felt this wasn't impossible.
This damn kid, back when he was in this world, dared to overthrow the Immortal Dynasty and stand against the Nine Heavens. Once he reached the Celestial Realm, standing against the Three Thousand Great Daos was absolutely something he would do.
"I told you, my affairs are complicated, involving too many entanglements. I don't even understand them myself, so how could I explain them to you?"
"Best not to say, best not to say."
Old Monster Tang took a swig of wine to calm his nerves and said, "If you did tell me, old man here is afraid he wouldn't be able to handle it."
"So, whether I walk my old path or not is no longer important. Even if I don't want to, they won't let me off. Given that, I might as well take advantage of the fact that the Three Thousand Great Daos haven't fully recovered their strength yet, and quickly do what needs to be done, repay the favors I owe. At least then I won't have wasted my time in this world."
Old Monster Tang originally wanted to say something more to persuade him, but the words reached his lips only to be swallowed back down.
Persuade him?
Persuade him of what?
What was there to persuade?
Persuade him not to oppose the Immortal Dynasty?
This damn kid is already standing against the Three Thousand Great Daos. Whether he opposes the Immortal Dynasty or not, does it even matter anymore?
Moreover.
Old Monster Tang also knew that the current Gu Qingfeng's existence was probably far more complex than imagined. The two of them simply weren't on the same level. Naturally, Old Monster Tang didn't know how to persuade him.
Suddenly.
He realized another serious problem and asked, "Kid Gu, there's something old man has always wanted to ask you."
"What is it?"
"Just what kind of existence are you now?"
"I'm a Human, of course. What else could I be?"
"Human?"
Old Monster Tang frowned deeply, staring at Gu Qingfeng. He could see that Gu Qingfeng was indeed a Human, and even an ordinary flesh-and-blood body at that. But could an ordinary flesh-and-blood body be this powerful?
Thinking of this, Old Monster Tang asked, "Then give old man a hint, just how capable are you right now?"
"How capable am I?
That, I really don't know."
Gu Qingfeng thought carefully and truly didn't know the extent of his own abilities. His Physical Body hadn't fully recovered yet. Once it did, just how powerful it would be, he had no concrete concept. Besides, within his dantian was a seed that the great nature had forced upon him, the inexplicably appearing Lone Star Tear, plus his Nine Nethers Ancestral Flame.
Although he hadn't refined or fused these sources of power, he could still utilize their strength.
Apart from these, there were also the Myriad Beings' Floating Slaughter, Myriad Phenomena Paying Homage, the Abyssal Eye, and the Void Body that had been nurtured during his fight with the Three Thousand Great Daos in the Great Northwest.
These were all terrifying existences. Even more terrifying was the Blood of Original Sin.
Just what kind of horrifying power that thing contained, Gu Qingfeng himself had no idea.
Across from him.
Old Monster Tang curled his lip and didn't ask further.
If anyone else said they didn't know how capable they were, Old Monster Tang would surely look down on them.
But if these words came from Gu Qingfeng's mouth, that was a different matter entirely.
Back in the day, this kid was shrouded in mysterious Fortune, and no one knew just how powerful he was.
Now, although he appeared to have no Fortune, that was probably just on the surface. Who the hell knew how many terrifying secrets this kid was hiding? Not to mention anything else, just this seemingly ordinary Physical Body alone was probably...
Old Monster Tang still clearly remembered that a few days ago, he had exerted all his strength and hadn't been able to budge Gu Qingfeng an inch. Recalling this, Old Monster Tang couldn't suppress his curiosity any longer and asked, "Kid Gu, just how powerful is your Physical Body? Don't tell old man you don't know. Just tell me, how many moves would it take for you to wipe me out?"
"You?
How many moves?"
Gu Qingfeng glanced at Old Monster Tang, crossed his legs, and said with a laugh, "Old Monster Tang, it's not that I look down on you. If I wanted to kill you, I wouldn't need a single move. The might of a single shout would be enough to blast you into nothingness!"
The might of a single shout?
Blast into nothingness?
Old Monster Tang froze on the spot, unsure if he was scared stiff or doubted his own hearing. After a long while, he snapped back to reality and stared at Gu Qingfeng with an extremely skeptical gaze, saying, "You trying to scare old man, kid?
The might of a single shout to blast me into nothingness?
I say, Gu Tianlang, you're looking down on old man way too much, aren't you?
You think I'm made of glass?
A single shout can shatter me?"
"What's the matter?"
Gu Qingfeng said with a smile, "Don't believe me?"
"I don't believe it!"
Old Monster Tang shook his head vigorously. "No matter how powerful your Physical Body is, it's impossible for the might of a single shout to blast me to death."
"If you don't believe it, shall we give it a try?"
As soon as the words fell, Old Monster Tang's face instantly changed several shades, as if startled. He opened his mouth, words caught in his throat, seeming like he wanted to try but didn't dare.
"Don't dare?"
"Damn it!"
Old Monster Tang gritted his teeth, stamped his foot, and abruptly stood up, pointing at Gu Qingfeng and shouting, "You surnamed Gu, don't look down on people! Try it then, you think old man is afraid of you?"
"Fine, let's try."
"Wait!"
"What now?"
"You said the might of a single shout!
And you can't use any Fortune, any other power, just the pure might of a shout."
"No problem!"
"Wait!"
"What is it now?"
"Let old man prepare first!"
Old Monster Tang truly had no confidence. He backed up a few steps, summoned his immortal spirit, enveloping himself tightly layer upon layer. Then, still feeling it wasn't enough, he unleashed divine abilities, set up formations, and even brought out his treasured immortal artifacts he kept for emergencies.
