Chapter 11660 — Should Young Hero Lin Be Interested
The Blossom Guardian · Page 1 of 3
At these words, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
A person truly lost in sudden enlightenment would not trade words with anyone.
Zhang Tailing's tone betrayed some surprise. "This poor Daoist specializes in the resonance between Heaven and Man. Just now, Young Hero Lin gave the impression of advancing by leaps and bounds with every instant and every breath—exactly like the state of sudden enlightenment. It seems my cultivation is not yet equal to the task, and my sensing went astray."
Wei Zhao's interest was piqued. "What is this resonance between Heaven and Man? Might the Daoist elaborate?"
Zhang Tailing looked at the ferocious crimson ape before them and smiled bitterly. "Should Young Hero Lin be interested, once this matter is settled, we can discuss it at length. However…"
He did not finish the sentence, but the meaning was plain enough.
If things continued along their present course, in all likelihood there would be no such opportunity.
Wei Zhao said, "Then it is settled."
The other man's sensing had been not the least bit mistaken. Because he was observing the collision of two god-tier beings, many things at the level of his understanding were indeed undergoing earth-shaking changes, and at the same time he was indeed absorbing an enormous amount of nourishment.
The most direct visible result was that his strength was advancing by leaps and bounds, invisibly and imperceptibly.
To put it precisely, Wei Zhao was at this very moment stealing lessons from two god-tier beings!
With his madman's capacity for learning, it would have been impossible for him not to advance by leaps and bounds.
Zhang Tailing gave a rueful, startled laugh. "Very well, then it is settled."
Yet inwardly he remained shaken and uncertain.
His resonance between Heaven and Man did indeed err at times, but the probability of that was exceedingly small.
If Wei Zhao had advanced so rapidly merely because of sudden enlightenment, that he could understand.
But if it truly was not the state of sudden enlightenment, then it was genuinely somewhat terrifying.
As a peak Venerable of the early Heaven tier, Zhang Tailing's breadth of vision meant he had seen—and even crossed blades with—countless geniuses, yet a freak like Wei Zhao was utterly unprecedented.
In truth, Wei Zhao's present strength alone was enough to leave him shaken to the core.
Never had any mid-tier Earth-rank Venerable been able to bring him such all-around oppression as Wei Zhao did!
And even that was with no substantive clash having occurred between the two sides—merely the result of their auras spilling forth naturally.
If the two sides truly came to drawn swords and strung bows, that sense of oppression could rise by at least two more levels!
To say Wei Zhao was the most dangerous enemy he had ever encountered was no exaggeration at all.
He had always dealt calmly with the three ancestors of the Prince of Qi's Estate and had never torn off the mask to their faces. In part this was surely compelled by circumstance, but the more important part was out of wariness toward Wei Zhao.
Though the two sides had not interacted much, Zhang Tailing's estimation of Wei Zhao was already exceedingly high.
But now it seemed he had likely underestimated him by a wide margin.
Set against the backdrop of the great upheaval in the Inner Royal Court, and recalling the trajectory of Wei Zhao's growth and all he had done before, a sudden realization rose in Zhang Tailing's heart.
Could it be that this age of great contention was destined to rest upon this man's shoulders?
At this moment, however, Wei Zhao had no leisure to attend to Zhang Tailing's inner workings.
The chance to steal lessons from god-tier powerhouses was something that could not be sought, only encountered.
Wei Zhao had a strong premonition that if he could observe the whole thing through, his strength would at least double!
Of course, the precondition was that these two god-tier beings had to fight in earnest.
