Chapter 1319: The Name Saint Yuan (1)
Wu Yuan offered a measured smile, keeping his thoughts to himself.
The self-created Daos of Dao Zenithel powerhouses neared perfection, and their perception was extremely keen.
Without revealing one's ultimate techniques, there was simply no way for others to discern them. However, Wu Yuan’s body refiner self had already cultivated a Xuanhuang Body, and he possessed three thousand times a True Saint's ether power. The wellspring of mana or ether power came from the Eternal Realm's essence and the Eternal Psyche. Even if he had the best concealment methods, Wu Yuan might still fail to hide his strength completely from such perceptive beings.
"Eldritch Progenitor Zhu Rong is too kind," Wu Yuan replied with a gentle smile. "But in terms of true strength, I remain far behind you."
"Enough," Zhu Rong waved his hand dismissively. "No need for empty flattery. I've studied recordings of your battle against True Saint Luan Hai and the others. The ultimate technique you've created likely surpasses my own, and you wield a Xuanhuang Dao Treasure." He laughed heartily. "It's only natural that your strength exceeds mine. In fact, your power may be approaching that of Big Brother Di Jiang."
"Approaching Eldritch Progenitor Di Jiang?" Wu Yuan smiled again, neither confirming nor denying the statement.
"Ah, I just realized something," Zhu Rong's expression brightened. "Now that you've ascended to Dao Zenithel, you needn't address me as Eldritch Progenitor or Senior anymore. Simply call me Zhu Rong from now on. After all, I'm neither your guide nor your direct elder."
The candor in Eldritch Progenitor Zhu Rong's manner was refreshing.
"You'll always be my Senior," Wu Yuan responded, naturally respecting one who had aided him in the past.
"Haha, as you wish," Zhu Rong chuckled. "By the way, when you have some time to spare, I'd like to visit your Eternal Realm to observe your Xuanhuang Dao Treasure."
"Observe the Xuanhuang Dao Treasure?" Wu Yuan couldn't hide his surprise.
"Yes." Zhu Rong nodded firmly. His body was wreathed in dancing flames, his eyes gleaming with interest. "Xuanhuang Dao Treasures bear striking structural similarities to Chaos Treasures, yet their Dao essences contain inconceivable power along with some truly exceptional qualities. I understand that this stems from the Primordial Rules, but I've never accepted that Chaos Treasures represent the pinnacle of equipment forging.
