"Could he be a Superior Being who has just entered the world, having not yet had time to cultivate or gestate any Creations?"
Mo Baiyu turned around and asked lightly, "Is that a possibility?"
"That possibility cannot be ruled out, but... the likelihood is very small."
Elder Jin responded in a deep voice, "If you said a Superior Being who just entered the world hasn't gestated any Creations, that might be plausible, but it's unlikely they would have no cultivation base at all."
He paused, then continued, "Moreover, based on my observation of that man, although his speech and demeanor were extremely flamboyant, they were genuine expressions of his true feelings. He neither disguised nor concealed himself. In other words, he fears nothing, disdaining to pretend or hide. From this, it can be seen that his existence is probably beyond our imagination."
"Beyond our imagination?"
Mo Baiyu asked, "So you're saying I shouldn't provoke him?"
"This..." Elder Jin didn't know how to respond to this question.
"Hah!"
A look of arrogant pride appeared on Mo Baiyu's handsome face, and a flash of defiance crossed his eyes.
Elder Jin understood clearly that Mo Baiyu was lofty and proud, with a very strong sense of self-respect, and could not tolerate anyone trampling on his dignity.
Although Mo Baiyu had appeared calm and indifferent on the deck, Elder Jin knew that deep down, Mo Baiyu had already developed a killing intent towards the man who called himself Great Lord. It was just that he had reservations and, with others present, had not acted rashly.
But that was only temporary.
Based on Elder Jin's understanding of Mo Baiyu, Mo Baiyu would definitely seek to reclaim the face he lost on the deck tenfold, a hundredfold.
Thinking of this, Elder Jin advised, "Master, the Present Era may seem calm on the surface, but undercurrents have long been stirring. Moreover, many ancient mighty beings have emerged and returned one after another, making the already turbulent Great Wilderness even more chaotic, unpredictable, mysterious, and eerie. The waters of the Present Era are becoming increasingly murky. What looks like small fry might not truly be just small fry; it could be a giant crocodile, or even a celestial dragon..."
"If one wishes to survive in the muddy waters of the Present Era and establish a legacy, one must only watch and wait. Wait until the waters gradually clear and the situation becomes clear before making a decision. That would not be too late."
Elder Jin also raised his head and sighed softly, "The times can create heroes, but they can also bury heroes."
"With Master's innate talent and comprehension, your future achievements will far exceed merely receiving the Immortal Dao's decree. Master only needs to conceal your brilliance and bide your time. There is no need to trouble yourself over so-called dignity and face."
"It's not that I want to reclaim any dignity or face."
Mo Baiyu said softly and indifferently, "I'm just somewhat curious about that man's existence and want to test him a little."
Hearing this, Elder Jin immediately advised, "Master, you must not rashly test him!"
"Why not?"
Mo Baiyu was very unconvinced, "You say I shouldn't provoke him, but can't I even test him?"
"Master, some existences cannot be tested."
"Leaving aside whether that man is truly as terrible as you say, even if he is, I, Mo Baiyu, am after all a Superior Immortal who has received the Immortal Dao's decree. Even if I make a move to test him, what can he do to me? And what would he dare to do to me?"
"Master, you must not harbor such thoughts."
Elder Jin said, "This old servant will say something Master may not like to hear. In the Present Era, Superior Immortals like Master who have received the Immortal Dao's decree are far too many. Forget about one or two dying; even if thousands died, the Immortal Dao might not care. Moreover..."
Before Elder Jin could finish speaking, Mo Baiyu suddenly flew into a rage and rebuked, "How dare you!"
Elder Jin immediately knelt on the ground, cupping his hands and saying, "This old servant has no intention of offending Master. I only wish to advise Master not to act impulsively, and especially not to make a move to test that man. Testing mysterious and unknown existences has always been taboo. Since ancient times, countless talented individuals of unparalleled talent have perished because they provoked those they should not have. This old servant hopes Master will take this as a warning and not repeat their mistakes."
Mo Baiyu stood with his hands behind his back, his powerful aura erupting as if a great sun were rising, illuminating the empty inner dock.
His sharp gaze fixed on Elder Jin kneeling on the ground, and he spoke word by word, "What if I insist on testing him!"
"This old servant still hopes Master will not provoke that man."
"I ask you again, what if I insist on testing him?"
Elder Jin knelt on the ground, head lowered, pondered for a moment, and said, "If Master insists on testing that man, then at least do not test him alone. At least wait until the great ship enters the territory of Lingluo Heavenly Domain. Once within Lingluo Heavenly Domain, if Master tests him then, there will be no life's worry."
Mo Baiyu nodded with great satisfaction and smiled, "Now that is what you should say."
As his words fell, his own powerful aura gradually withdrew.
"This old servant will go send a message talisman to inform them and have them prepare in advance."
Elder Jin stood up, about to leave, but was interrupted by Mo Baiyu, "No need!"
"Master, could it be you..." Elder Jin had just started to speak when he was interrupted again by Mo Baiyu, "I have already received news. Qingqing's ship is right ahead of us."
"Qingqing?"
Hearing this name, Elder Jin was stunned for a moment and asked, "Does Master mean Immortal Qingqing?"
"In the vast Heaven and Earth of the Great Wilderness, could it be there is a second Immortal Qingqing who could make me, Mo Baiyu, let go of everything at hand just to chase after her by ship?"
Qingqing.
This was a Superior Immortal renowned throughout the Great Wilderness in the Present Era.
Not only was she a disciple of the Floating Life Imperial Lord, who shook the Present Era, but she was also a disciple of the Seventy-Two Blessed Lands.
Such a status could not be said to be not noble.
Who was the Floating Life Imperial Lord?
He was a prominent Human figure of the Present Era. The minor creation 'Long Rainbow Pierces the Sun' he created was revered as a classic by many immortals. Moreover, he alone dominated both the Imperial Seal and Star Lord thrones, being both an Emperor and a Lord, hence Imperial Lord.
Besides having an Imperial Lord as her master, Qingqing was also a disciple of Eternal Life Pavilion, one of the Seventy-Two Blessed Lands.
As is well known.
In the Great Wilderness, there are many Grotto Heavens and Blessed Lands, and also many Profound Heaven Immortal Realms.
Among them, the most famous are the Thirty-Six Grotto Heavens and the Seventy-Two Blessed Lands.
The Thirty-Six Grotto Heavens and Seventy-Two Blessed Lands are all ancient inheritances; some are even remnants from ancient times, relics of Sages, or even divine Ruins. That is not important.
What is important is that the disciples of the Thirty-Six Grotto Heavens and Seventy-Two Blessed Lands are without exception all talented individuals of heaven-defying aptitude and peerless talent.
Therefore.
A saying has always circulated in the Great Wilderness.
Since ancient times, the Mandate of Heaven, the Grotto Heavens and Blessed Lands monopolize one-third.
In other words, whether in the Present Era, the Ancient Times Era, or the Ancient Era, the Thirty-Six Grotto Heavens and the Seventy-Two Blessed Lands have dominated one-third of the Mandate of Heaven.
So-called Heavenly Destiny Bearer, in the Great Wilderness, might be rarely encountered; some people might even go their entire lives without ever seeing a Heavenly Destiny Bearer. But within the Thirty-Six Grotto Heavens and Seventy-Two Blessed Lands, Star Lord—be it Throne or—they are not rare.
