Chapter 122.2: Preaching, Supreme
Outside City of No Return, three Mythwalkers exchanged bewildered looks.
Li Yunzhi said, “This sermon started too casually.”
He was Wang Gai’s closest friend. When Wang Gai entered the city, Li Yunzhi had warned him, fearful that he was walking into a trap. Yet Wang Gai still entered—for his own sake and his family’s.
Li Yunzhi came under orders from the Supreme of Great Sorrow City. He was to observe. He had thought his presence would make the city guardian restrain from any schemes.
As for being born sacred and being able to preach Supreme-level enlightenment... It was too absurd. Not even the White Supreme or the Supreme One could do that.
Bearded Big Thinker mused, “It’s strange. Why is the city guardian doing this? What's the point of such an easily exposed scam? To trap a few Mythwalkers? He’s a new Supreme. Why bother?”
The woman asked, “Is it possible that he really is born sacred?”
Li Yunzhi shook his head. “Even if that's the case, he shouldn't be able to help others reach the Supreme realm. Even the White Supreme cannot impart the Origin’s enlightenment. The Origin must be grasped personally, it is one’s own path.”
Bearded Big Thinker nodded dramatically. “Makes sense. How can those four not understand such a simple truth?”
Li Yunzhi explained, “Cultivation is wrestling against heaven. Origins are limited. The world cannot produce that many Supremes! If he really could help others become Supreme, he’d incur the wrath of heaven. Divine punishment would befall him!”
No matter how he reasoned, the conclusion was the same. That man was full of nonsense, either a conman or a madman.
Thus, they waited until night fell.
