Seeing his reaction, the elder’s gaze became calm, and a peaceful expression gradually appeared on his face. With a wave of his wide sleeves, the light instantly gathered away, and he descended from mid-air onto the wooden bed.
"Your name is Su Chen, right?"
His voice was like magic power, causing Su Chen to nod, although shocked, unable to resist.
"My name is Celestial Secret. If you don’t mind, you can call me Grandmaster Celestial Secret."
The elder stroked his white beard, the divine light in his eyes fading, revealing a kind and gentle smile.
Su Chen was taken aback by his sudden closeness, but having experienced several great dangers, he quickly calmed down and thought it over swiftly in his mind.
It seemed that this elder bore no malice towards him. But what was his purpose in bringing him here? Why would a Beast Soul Powerhouse live in the Forest of Death? And he seemed quite interested in him?
"May I ask, how did you know my name?"
"Hehe, with my power of light, if I wish, it is not impossible to perceive the happenings within a hundred miles."
The elder said slowly.
Su Chen was secretly startled; this Celestial Secret Elder possessed incredible prowess. Power of light? Could he be a light attribute Beast Cultivator? ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ 𝔫𝔬𝔳𝔢𝔩⁂𝖿𝗂𝗋𝖾⁂𝔫𝔢𝔱
"Then may I ask, what do you want with me?"
Su Chen said these words, secretly making a decision. Because if the other party really harbored malice toward him, asking this would be like urging him to take action sooner?
Fortunately, the elder seemed to read his mind and said calmly, "I am here under the orders of Lord Suanni, waiting specifically for your arrival."
Su Chen was greatly astonished, the vanished Ox Stone Plate flashed across his mind (Suanni is the Clan Leader of the Ox Clan), and his heart was filled with indescribable shock.
A mighty Beast Magus-level, god-like super strong figure, why would he pay attention to an unknown boy from the East like him? Could it be that he already knew that he had acquired the power of the Ox Stone Plate, and had sensed his presence?
But he hadn’t violated any rules, so what was he watching him for?
Seeing Su Chen’s nervous expression, a gleam of light flashed in the elder’s eyes, and he spoke, "You needn’t worry about your personal safety, because I am here just to give you a small reminder."
Su Chen was even more confused.
The elder stepped down from the bed, his moon-white robe dragging several inches on the ground, and his serene and detached demeanor indeed carried a certain ethereal elegance.
"In this world, all causes result in effects, and nothing can escape the eyes of heaven. Doing good or accumulating evil ultimately leads to deserved fate. And we Beast Cultivators, treading the path against heaven to change fate, attempt to achieve brilliance even heaven would envy. Thus, conspiracies and intrigues are born, struggles and slaughter emerge, between people, there is less emotion yet more barriers. Between right and wrong, it gradually becomes unclear who is correct and who is wrong."
The elder said meaningfully.
What does it mean? Su Chen was still clueless, only to have a bucket of cold water dumped over him again.
"Since you don’t understand, I’ll say it directly. Within you lies a terrifying power that fuses justice and evil. If someday you fail to control it, it will lead to catastrophic destruction, even the annihilation of all living beings!"
The elder revealed the celestial secret in one word!
"Annihilation of all living beings?"
Su Chen’s mouth twitched slightly, his face astonished, "Isn’t that an exaggeration?"
The elder stroked his white beard with deep meaning, with a subtle, thought-provoking smile in his eyes, which made Su Chen feel he seemed quite approachable. His mood also relaxed slightly.
"I’m not just trying to scare you. If you don’t believe me, should any disaster occur in the future, you will surely regret not heeding my advice today."
Although the elder was warning Su Chen, his tone remained gentle.
