Chapter 1474: Fellow Daoist (II)
“The fellow daoist from Hao Moon is too polite!” The Exalted Void Emperor smiled as a myriad of thoughts ran through his mind. “I hear from Big Claw that you are interested in joining Dragon Observatory—is this true?
“A venerable exalted emperor being willing to join us is such a happy occasion! Thus, I couldn’t help myself and came for a look. I hope the fellow daoist does not find me discourteous that I did not notify you beforehand!”
“Senior Void is too polite!” Li Hao smiled back. “I really am so inclined. Of course, I am also just passing by. My heart remains in the chaos. Once I accumulate what I need for my cultivation, I will leave. I will not always remain here.”
“Naturally.” Void didn’t find anything untoward about these declarations. This was quite within the bounds of reason. Only exalted emperors without any ambitions or goals would want to stay in one place.
Exalted emperors were cultivators that’d earned the hard-fought ability to walk out of a world. Why would they trap themselves in another world to serve at someone else’s beck and call? What was the point in that?
They might as well stay in their minor world to lord it over others! They’d be undisputed tyrants there with no need to watch themselves around another.
“This is a trifling matter. Even I dare not say that I’ll stay at Skyward and the Dragon Observatory for the rest of my life!” Void chuckled. “Cultivators walk the path of dao and travel the cardinal directions to gain knowledge and comprehension. They journey until they can no longer move one day, or they put down roots somewhere, or return home. Whether it is factions or places along the way, those are simply the sights and views of the voyage!”
Li Hao blinked and took another look at the exalted emperor.
“The senior looks to actually cultivate dao as well,” he said with sincerity. “I came to Skyward because I thought everyone here pursued the great dao. But I arrive to find that self-isolation prevails.
“Not only that, people’s mindsets do not measure up to some of the powerhouses that I’ve previously met. They show no signs of attaining the vision of an exalted emperor! They fly into a rage at the drop of a hat and bark impotently in all directions. What is the meaning in that?”
His words were obviously pointed and directed.
“Some people relied entirely on luck or other people’s largess to advance,” Void laughed. “They do not have any true ability to their name. The fellow daoist has witnessed a joke.
