"Little brother Guo Ran, greetings to big brother. Big brother, I grew up listening to your stories." Guo Ran was thrilled to see the world-renowned Xia Guhong, hurried over, and said enthusiastically.
You have to know, Xia Guhong was a peerless hero and legendary figure in the Moluo Star Domain. How could Guo Ran not be excited?
Guo Ran had never admired many people in his life, and Xia Guhong was one of them. What excited him most was that this legendary figure was actually the eldest brother, so naturally, he became Xia Guhong's brother—an incredible honor.
If the people of Moluo Star Domain found out he was brothers with Xia Guhong, wouldn't they treat him like a deity? What a magnificent spectacle!
"Can't you at least have some shame?" When you ascended to the Moluo Star Domain, you were already this big! Still growing up my ass? Long Chen said irritably.
"You can't say that. After ascending, I feel his face is even bigger than before." Xia Chen added.
"Hahaha... Xia
Guhong laughed heartily, "You two young brothers are both men of character, truly rare. Come on, let's come inside and have a drink!" "
Hehe, thank you, big brother!"
Guo Ran was overjoyed to see Xia Guhong call them 'little brothers,' which was essentially acknowledging them.
Xia Chen respectfully bowed to Xia Guhong, addressed him as 'big brother,' and then followed him into his small courtyard.
After the four sat down, Xia Guhong sized up Xia Chen, nodded, and said with a hint of admiration in his eyes:
"Not bad, but your spiritual power is already flawless and pure, your eyes are clear and radiant, reaching the point of returning to simplicity. To achieve this at this age—among all the people I've met in my life, there are fewer than a handful of those who have achieved such accomplishments in the path of talismans." How many levels of Heavenly Talisman Heart Refining have you reached? Seeing
Xia Guhong ask about Tianfu Heart Refining, Xia Chen immediately felt a deep respect. Even in the Fu Tian Star Domain, very few people knew about Tianfu Heart Refining, not even Gongsun Xuan.
Heavenly Talisman Heart Refining is a spiritual realm, consisting of nine levels in total. This division is the division of the Heavenly Dao; only when the spiritual realm reaches its level can one know this realm.
Heavenly Talisman Heart Refining is an inexplicable rule of the Heavenly Dao. If you arrive, you're here; if you haven't, it's not. Once you reach that realm, you'll understand; if you haven't reached that level, it's impossible to explain.
But Xia Guhong immediately asked about the Heavenly Talisman Refining Heart, indicating that he had reached that height. Although he was not a talisman cultivator, as the saying goes, 'all paths walk the same path.' Standing at that height, he could also see other places.
"I'm slow-witted. I've only reached the third level of Heavenly Talisman Heart Refining, but I still can't get past the fourth level." Xia Chen said with a face full of shame.
Xia Guhong looked at Xia Chen and suddenly smiled, "You haven't tried to break through to the Heavenly Talisman Heart Refining recently, have you?" "
Yes, I've been feeling unsettled lately and haven't gone to the challenge." Xia Chen nodded.
"If you push through, you'll find you can get through easily. Your emotional hurdle is over, your thoughts are clear, and the fourth hurdle will be easy to get through." Xia Guhong said.
When Xia Guhong said this, even Long Chen was shocked. Xia Guhong had such remarkable insight, his eyes seeming to see through everything.
"Thanks for the reminder, big brother. I'll try it out later!" Xia Chen said with admiration, truly worthy of being a legendary figure—his insight was truly terrifying, as if nothing could be hidden from him.
"Big brother, you're amazing! You should also have my little brother read my fortune and see when I'll make it big." Seeing Xia Guhong looking at him, Guo Ran immediately put on a broad smile and said.
Xia Guhong couldn't help but laugh: "You're so lazy, thinking too much but doing little, always wanting shortcuts, and you're destined to never get ahead in your lifetime."
But you're smart enough, knowing you're just a vine—you only need to cling to a tree with limitless potential and cling to it.
The trees are towering thousands of feet; you just need to follow along to see the same scenery, enjoy the same sunlight and rain, and win the greatest honor at the least cost. "
Hehe, big brother, you're really something—you saw right through my thoughts!" Guo Ran chuckled, not feeling ashamed; instead, he was quite pleased and took Xia Guhong's words as a compliment.
"Because back then, I had a little brother like you by my side!" Xia Guhong sighed.
"And what about him now? Isn't it already in the limelight? Guo Ran asked.
"No, he can no longer see anything. He died at the hands of the Moluo clan while saving his sister. That year, he was only nineteen!" A trace of sadness appeared in Xia Guhong's eyes, as if he were lost in distant memories.
"Are you talking about the genius artifact forging Luo Zijun, Luo Qingying's younger brother?" Guo Ran was shocked.
"That's right, it's him. A young dreamer whose forging talent is just as good as Qingying's, yet who refuses to endure hardship, spends his days researching all sorts of strange things, always dreaming of rising to the top in one leap. He really resembles you." Xia Guhong looked at Guo Ran and said. Only then did Xia Chen and Long Chen realize that the person was actually Luo Qingying's younger brother, who was also Xia Guhong's brother-in-law.
"Big brother, I'm sorry!" Guo Ran suddenly felt a bit embarrassed, recalling Xia Guhong's painful past.
Xia Guhong shook his head and said, "It's nothing. Everything is in the past. Besides, you did very well—you slaughtered the Moluo clan and sealed the passage. What we couldn't accomplish back then, you accomplished. It shows you're stronger than we were back then." "
Big brother, you know everything?" Long Chen was startled. The Moluo Star Domain should still be in a closed state.
"The Moluo Star Domain is my place of sorrow, so of course I have to watch it. To be honest, I watch it because I want to see how these foolish fools who destroyed their own city walls will perish.
But this time, you led the human race to victory. I finally seem to understand why, before Qingying died, she wouldn't let me avenge him.
At first, I thought she was doing it for her family, but later I realized she was doing it for me. He knew that in a fit of anger, I would not only destroy the Luo family but also kill those who betrayed me, leading to the extinction of the entire human race in the Moluo Star Domain.
Perhaps from the perspective of the time, my actions were self-indulgent and understandable, but as time went on, my actions could not withstand the testimony of history.
When it comes to foresight, I'm not as good as Qingying. She sees even further, and she won't let me take revenge—for the sake of humanity, and for me.
And the reason I have these insights is all because of everything you have done, Long Chen. I finally understood Qingying's intentions. Long Chen, you are more outstanding than I am. "Xia Guhong looked at Long Chen and said.
Long Chen shook his head with a bitter smile and said, "What I'm doing now is right in your eyes, big brother, but thousands or tens of thousands of years from now, who can guarantee that my approach will still be correct?"
Bro, you overestimate me. To be honest, I'm still someone who acts based on my own character. As for right or wrong, let others and history judge it. I just focus on being myself. "
Xia Guhong praised him so much that Long Chen himself felt a bit ashamed. How could he have thought so far ahead?" As always, take life and death lightly; if you disagree, fight it, regardless of right or wrong.
"By the way, big brother, do you need something urgent from me?" Long Chen asked.
Xia Guhong's expression grew serious as he nodded, saying, "
The Priest estimates that in another month, the entrance to the Three Thousand Worlds will open. This is a once-in-a-millennium era, and it must not be missed."
