Chapter 1034: Don't believe everything you hear.
Pu Ao tried his best to recall, for example, whether he felt anything when Gu Heng casually knocked him down with a punch.
Although he was being manipulated, it was not his mind that was being manipulated, but his physical body, so his consciousness remained clear.
He just didn't feel anything...
Pu Ao shook his head with a wry smile: "Ancestor, I can't sense it at all."
"When he made his move, there was no fluctuation of power, no flow of Daoist rhyme, and no trace of intertwined concepts, but the three black-armored men instantly lost their life force, as if they had been silently annihilated."
Although Pu Ao was also eager to know Gu Heng's strength, he was still very self-aware.
Even at his peak, he could only glimpse the powerful essence of the conceptual realm, let alone now, when he is practically crippled.
but.
Pu Ao realized that he seemed to have hit the nail on the head, because the old ancestor's eyes suddenly tightened.
"Annihilation?"
As if he had grasped something sensitive, a glint of light flashed deep in the eyes of the Pu family patriarch.
"What have you thought of?" Pu Ao asked hurriedly.
Although Patriarch Pu was reluctant to mention the past, those in front of him were all absolutely trustworthy family members, so it didn't matter if he talked about it. Besides, the appearance of this fellow Daoist Gu Heng was probably not a coincidence.
Of course, if we were to start from the origins he knew, it would take far more than a few words. The Pu Clan Ancestor said in a deep voice, "Yuan'er is still too young and doesn't understand. However, Seventh Brother, you have once come into contact with the 'concept' level. You must have some understanding of the Concept Realm."
Pu Ao nodded: "Yes, once the condensed Nirvana destiny transforms into the true source of concepts, one can wield the power of countless 'concepts' throughout the heavens."
The so-called conceptual realm is to borrow the power of the most powerful, yet unclaimed, "concepts" from all the heavens and myriad worlds for one's own use.
Just now, the Pu Clan Ancestor forcibly opened a spatial portal across an incredibly vast distance, a distance that a cultivator in the lower realm could never traverse in a lifetime. This was because he utilized the power of the "spatial concept".
Cultivators in the conceptual realm may be fortunate enough to perceive concepts, but they will never be able to wield their power!
Even Pu Ao, who has already stepped halfway into the conceptual realm, cannot do it. At most, it would give him an advantage when facing the unique beings of other realms. However...
The meaning behind the words of the Pu family patriarch was clearly not that.
As expected, a hint of heaviness appeared on his not-so-aged face: "It is common knowledge that the Concept Realm relies on the True Source of Concepts to comprehend the essence of the concepts of all heavens and seize the power of concepts. But what you do not know is that 'concepts' can also be completely controlled and become the possessions of others."
"..."
Pu Ao was momentarily stunned.
The concept, an intangible and intangible power that can only be fully sensed after entering the realm of concepts, can actually be turned into a private possession?
Unheard of.
"Concepts also have varying degrees of strength and their own unique characteristics. I do remember one such concept that can annihilate anything into nothingness. No matter what kind of detection method a civilization uses, it will be obliterated the moment it comes into contact with it." "That concept is called 'annihilation'."
The old patriarch of the Pu family said in a low voice: "However, the concept of annihilation has already been taken into someone else's possession. Nowadays, no one can sense the power of annihilation, nor can they comprehend even a tiny bit of its essence and incorporate it into their own Dao."
Upon hearing this, Pu Yunyuan immediately had a bad feeling.
"Grandpa, the person you're talking about, could it be Mr. Gu?"
Pu Yunyuan had no idea how powerful a cultivator could be if they completely controlled and mastered a conceptual power. She only knew that such a powerful person would not be unknown.
If you follow your subconscious thoughts, then isn't the ancestor's implication referring to him?
However, the patriarch of the Pu family did not respond.
He tried his best not to let his fear show.
No wonder, no wonder I couldn't see through Fellow Daoist Gu's abilities at all! The power of the concept of "annihilation" has been thoroughly experienced by many powerful individuals who are no less than him, or even far surpass him.
Having learned from past mistakes, the Pu family patriarch certainly did not want to follow in the footsteps of those unfortunate souls.
He pondered for a long time before solemnly instructing, "Do not mention the blood-red lake you described, or the strange humanoid figure that resembles an eternal beast, to anyone again. Treat it as if it never happened."
"Yes, ancestor!"
Pu Ao and Pu Yunyuan felt a chill run down their spines and responded in unison.
They understood that their ancestor must have sensed an unimaginable terror from it!
"And what about Mr. Gu?"
Pu Yunyuan hesitated for a moment, but finally asked the question. She felt she was about to uncover the tip of a shocking secret, and she couldn't hold back her words: "Could Mr. Gu be that..."
She was pretty sure it was true. "Don't talk nonsense!"
The old patriarch of the Pu family coldly rebuked her, frightening Pu Yunyuan into daring not to say another word.
"Fellow Daoist Gu's strength is unfathomable, and his personality is approachable, but this is absolutely not an opportunity for you to presume to guess his identity!"
"You only know the surface of things in the past and don't understand them very well. You only need to know that the so-called 'Great Enemy of the Era' is just a name that comes from other people. Whether it is true or just a baseless slander, you will be able to tell in the future."
"As for that Fellow Daoist Gu, my Pu family will simply express our gratitude. We should not delve into his background, nor should we show him any disrespect."
“I will follow my great-grandfather’s teachings.”
Upon hearing this, Pu Yunyuan's heart skipped a beat, and she quickly responded.
Although the patriarch doted on her and regarded her as another conceptual realm expert who would surely emerge in the future of the Pu clan, she also knew that the favor she received was not limitless.
If she actually sticks her nose into something she shouldn't, she's definitely doomed.
“I know you are kind-hearted, but this matter is too serious to be taken lightly. You have been frightened this time, so go back and rest well.” The patriarch of the Pu family waved his hand.
"Thank you for your concern, Grandpa." Pu Yunyuan bowed and withdrew.
The patriarch of the Pu clan looked at Pu Ao and sighed, "Seventh brother, you have injured your origin and damaged your foundation. Even the finest medicines may not be able to restore you."
Pu Ao looked bitter: "I am already very lucky to have survived. I dare not ask for anything more."
"The 'Originating Immortal Spring' in the Sacred Mountain Secret Realm is about to overflow again. You are allowed to soak in it for three days. How much you recover depends on your fate."
Upon hearing this, Pu Ao trembled with excitement: "Thank you for your grace, Ancestor!"
"Go." The patriarch of the Pu family closed his eyes.
Pu Ao thanked him profusely and left. After everyone left, the Pu family patriarch sat alone, his eyes flashing with an unpredictable light.
"He didn't have any disciples before, so he disappeared for so long just to find one?"
"He even placed his disciples within the Jade Emperor's Palace, but what was the point of such a arrangement?"
"But to approach so brazenly, even to enter the immortal civilization, with such arrogance, it seems the rumors from back then were indeed true..."
