Chapter 1240: It Was I Who Assisted The Creation Dao Master (2)
"Eldritch Progenitor Hou Tu and I have spoken many times. Since your two true selves pioneered Daos at the sempiternal stage, we've determined that you possess the potential to become a Heavenly Venerable," the elder revealed with a meaningful smile.
Heavenly Venerable? Wu Yuan held his breath, stunned.
For the first time, someone had declared he possessed the potential to become a Heavenly Venerable. And not just anyone, but the mysterious, powerful Spacetime Dao Master and Eldritch Progenitor Hou Tu, who stood at the cosmic sea's pinnacle.
"The fifth-step Eternal, known as Heavenly Venerable, represents the ultimate aspiration of countless Dao Zenithels," the elder's eyes shone. "If we could nurture a Heavenly Venerable, all concerns would vanish into insignificance."
His voice softened. "I eagerly await the day when the entire cosmic sea resonates with the name 'Heavenly Venerable Yuan'."
Wu Yuan listened in silence, absorbing these words. Heavenly Venerable Yuan? The title seemed simultaneously distant yet close. To say he harbored no desire for such a level would be an outright lie. Especially after learning of the Azure Saint and Origin Saint's exploits in the Azure Saint Tomb, ambition had taken root deep within Wu Yuan.
Ambition wasn't inherently negative. With proper motivation, one could keep ascending to higher pinnacles.
"However, you aren't without rivals," the elder cautioned solemnly. "The Heavenly Imperator, Jin Yi."
"Jin Yi?" A spark ignited in Wu Yuan's eyes as he recalled the young Heavenly Imperator on the Path of Ancients, so dazzlingly sharp and formidable. That profound declaration, "If the overly rigid breaks easily, it's just not rigid enough", had deeply impressed Wu Yuan. This was unquestionably an extraordinary being.
"Across the entire cosmic sea, if I were to identify who among the many Dao Zenithels possesses the greatest hope of taking the fifth step of their self-created Dao, it would undoubtedly be the Heavenly Imperator," the black-haired elder stated deliberately. "He is genuinely remarkable."
He shook his head slightly. "The Heavenly Imperator is a member of the human race as well, but unfortunately..."
"The Heavenly Imperator was human?" Wu Yuan couldn't mask his astonishment.
