"No, not a Zhizun!"
Shen Jiuyou's expression was extremely solemn. Although that middle-aged man from Cang Clan had an imposing aura that reached the heavens, he was still different from a true Zhi Zun.
At this moment, Venerable Cangkun was like a foot that had stepped into the threshold of Paramount Stage. He had initially glimpsed at the supreme glory of being an Emperor, but in the end, he had never stepped into a room, and this difference was like the difference between heaven and earth.
"Is this the scene of the Paramount Stage? "It's really great." Venerable Cangkun's face was full of ecstasy, and then he looked down at Shen Jiuyou teasingly, "You are right, the current me has not fully entered the Paramount Stage, but if I want to suppress you, a great master of the Heaven rank, I can do it with one hand."
Shen Jiuyou's expression was dark, while all the other experts remained silent. Their eyes were filled with envy and jealousy.
Even though Venerable Cangkun had not truly stepped into the Paramount Stage, he had already reached the basic level. It was equivalent to stepping into a supreme realm with only one foot, becoming a half-step Zhi Zun.
Half a step into Zhi Zun, in the Quasi-emperor realm, although he was not a real Zhi Zun, as long as he was close to the word Zhi Zun, it was definitely not something that could be compared with Heavenly Man or Heaven rank Great Grandmasters.
Everyone understood that the reason why Venerable Cangkun was able to achieve such a terrifying level of improvement was because of the golden light that entered Cangzu's body when his avatar dissipated.
However, being supreme and overlooking over tens of thousands of realms, this realm was simply too transcendent. Even with Cangzu's methods, it was impossible for a single Heavenly Man to directly rise to the Paramount Stage.
Venerable Cangkun being able to step into the threshold of Paramount Stage was definitely something that Cangzu had paid a heavy price to do. From this, it could be seen that Venerable Cangkun was absolutely determined to win against Ye Hao.
Of course, the mysterious man also clearly knew all of that, or else he wouldn't even try to attack Venerable Cangkun at the last moment. Unfortunately, he was rejected by the entire world and the restrictions he received were too big.
"Hehe, why aren't you capturing him and returning to the Cang Clan with me?"
Venerable Cangkun stood high up in the sky with a monstrous momentum. Just by walking with his hands behind his back, it was as if the entire sky and earth were trembling under his feet. The scene was extremely horrifying.
Under this terrifying pressure, Liu Tie felt as if he was being pressed down by the heavens and earth. Even though Shen Jiuyou and Pharmacist Han were blocking in front of them, the bones in his body continued to creak as if they were going to explode at any moment.
The current Ye Hao was too weak. Even though he had refined the Primal Chaos Immortal Fire, his Burning Fire Stage was still merely Burning Fire Stage. Facing the existence of a half-step Zhi Zun, even the current him would not be able to withstand a little pressure.
"Humph, the two of you actually tried to block the carriage with your mantis arms. You're really stubborn!"
Venerable Cangkun sneered, he directly reached out his palm and slowly pressed down. Instantly, the sky and earth rumbled, the Great Tao Rune in the sky flashed, and condensed into a giant hand that released a shocking pressure, as if it was swatting two flies.
Rumble rumble rumble!
Wherever the giant rune hand passed by, the air emitted sonic booms as it continuously caved in. Even though Liu Tie and Shen Jiuyou had joined forces, they were still forced to retreat step by step. In the end, the two of them used all their strength and barely managed to block it.
It was obvious that the two of them had suffered from some degree of injury. Before, when he faced Venerable Cangkun, he was able to tangle with him alone, but now, when the two of them joined hands, they were completely at a disadvantage. This was truly unexpected, but it was also within reason.
Half a step into Zhi Zun, and the realm of Quasi-emperor, how could Heavenly Man be compared with it?
"This is going to be troublesome."
If Venerable Cangkun hadn't stepped into the Quasi-emperor realm, he and Shen Jiuyou's cooperation would have been extremely confident in escaping with Ye Hao and the others. But now, with Zhou Tie's remnants, the two's plans had been completely in vain.
When facing a Half-Zhizun expert, not to mention leading Ye Hao and the others away, even Pharmacist Han and Shen Jiuyou would find it hard to survive.
Towards this, Shen Jiuyou's expression flickered. In the end, he shook his head and let out a long sigh. He smiled bitterly and said to Ye Hao: "Brat, now do you understand just how important strength is in this world?"
Ye Hao clenched his teeth, unaware that even his fingernails had pierced into his palm. In the past, Shen Jiuyou had always warned him about the cruelty of this world and the importance of his own strength.
If he had enough strength, how could Venerable Cangkun dare to look down upon him; if he had enough strength, why would he flee from the Eastern Desolation like a stray dog; if he had enough strength, so what if Cangzu personally came?
In the end, it was all because he was too weak. No matter how cautious he was in the past, once something happened, in the entire Eastern Desolation, or even in the vast world, there would be no place for him.
Unfortunately, he understood all of this too late.
"Hehe, it's good to understand the true cruelty of this world as soon as possible." Shen Jiuyou looked at Ye Hao with his deep eyes. He seemed to know what Ye Hao was thinking and chuckled softly, "It's alright. It's not too late to understand now."
Ye Hao raised his head and looked at Shen Jiuyou in confusion.2
"Brat, with your personality, Old Master Shen doesn't need to worry too much. However, I still have to remind you that there will be plenty of opportunities to live."
Shen Jiuyou looked at the young man with a gentle expression. He had never been so long-winded before as he said, "Sword Emperor Xiang Wu Tie's words are not bad. 'A swordsman should not emphasize life and death. A dead man cannot lift a three-foot sword.' "You must remember, it is the same for cultivators. Even if the sky falls, as long as you live, there will still be a chance for you."
Ye Hao didn't understand, but an uneasy feeling rose in his heart.
"Ai, nagging doesn't sound like Old Master Shen's style. Moreover, you don't need to worry too much about Old Master Shen." Shen Jiuyou smiled bitterly and sighed, "Speaking of which, this Master of mine is really incompetent."
Ye Hao's lips moved, but before he could say anything, Shen Jiuyou let out a quiet sigh, "Back then you brat, you had always been asking Old Master Shen how strong the Spiritual Array Masters actually were, and Old Master Shen never answered you, it wasn't because they were hiding things, but because the Spiritual Array was a vast and profound mystery. Even I have never reached that step, and I really don't know where to start."
"However, since I have accepted you as my only disciple, I should do my duty as Master." "This is Old Master Shen's lifetime worth of experience with Spiritual Array s and all the Spiritual Array Diagrams that you have mastered. You must take it step by step and not slack off."
Ye Hao's eyes were bloodshot and he was too busy to care about the information flooding into his head. He wanted to open his mouth to say something, but his whole body felt like it was tied down by an invisible energy and he couldn't move at all.
Pharmacist Han and the others by the side finally realized something at this moment. Their gazes were complicated as they looked at the former.
Shen Jiuyou did not pay attention to the others and smiled brightly at Ye Hao, "Just now, when I mentioned the limits of the Spiritual Array, Liu Tie was also confused. But above the grandmaster of heaven rank, is the realm that all Spiritual Array Masters dream of."
Shen Jiuyou slowly turned around. His originally floating body suddenly stopped. Then, a brilliant light emerged from the deepest part of his soul and spread to his entire body.
Boom!
With his hands behind his back, he walked step by step into the sky. He was so scared that he started climbing up crazily from his body. His proud and aloof laughter resounded in the world.
"Brat, watch carefully, what is the level of Formation Emperor that can form a formation with a single thought!"
On this day, Shen Jiuyou had achieved great heights.
He had returned to the peak.
