Pangu, witnessing this scene, was so struck that he seemed completely dumbfounded.
He had always believed that reaching Transcendence, he could wrestle with Wang Yi.
Even if not equal in strength, at least he wouldn’t lose too disgracefully.
Now it seems, he had thought too much!
Wang Yi’s strength is still so unfathomable, elusive to his probes.
"Teacher, is this your true strength?"
Pangu stared blankly at Wang Yi, constantly replaying the scene of their fight in his mind.
It’s too much of a blow!
His strongest strike was nothing in front of him.
Utterly and completely defeated.
Shattering all his pride.
Wang Yi really wanted to say that this wasn’t his true strength, that he hadn’t even used the Hongmeng Set boost, and he defeated Pangu merely by his inherent Dao Origin.
But seeing Pangu’s vacant stare, he had to swallow back his words.
He was afraid that saying it might be too much for Pangu to handle!
"If I had known this, I should have gone a bit easier!"
"This is my own child, if he’s too badly hurt from this, the regret would be too late!"
Wang Yi fretfully grinned.
But then he reconsidered, Pangu had been having it too easy from birth up until now without any significant blows; this setback might be good for him, preventing him from always thinking Tao is the boss, and he’s just second.
Wang Yi composed himself, coughed lightly to draw Pangu’s attention, then said emotionlessly:
"Pangu, do you feel a bit hit by losing in one move?"
Pangu nodded with a somber expression.
Wang Yi smiled, came beside Pangu, patted his shoulder and said, "It’s normal that there’s a gap between you and me, since I was born countless years before you!"
"Don’t feel that just because you lost to your teacher in one move, you aren’t strong enough. Think about those Legendary Planet Masters you’ve slain.
Each of them was outstanding in the Awakening Space, yet weren’t they all felled by your axe?!"
"The gap between you and your teacher is because you’ve had less time to cultivate; if you were from the same era, it’s hard to say who would be stronger."
"Perhaps you should consider it from another angle. Doesn’t the vast difference between you and me signify that you have a lot of room for improvement?"
"So, don’t be discouraged, keep cultivating properly, and one day you will catch up to and even surpass your teacher!"
"Oh! Right! From now on, you don’t need to bring the Starry Sky Giant Beasts you slay to me. Keep them for yourself and absorb them to enhance your strength!"
"Remember, when you absorb the Origin and flesh of a Starry Sky Giant Beast, remove the impurities, otherwise, it will affect your ultimate potential!"
"Also, let Wu Liuqi and Batie know, the Starry Sky Giant Beasts they hunt can be absorbed by themselves too, no need to send them to me!"
Having said that, Wang Yi again patted Pangu’s shoulder, with a meaningful tone, spoke, "Go!"
"You are still young, you have a long road ahead!"
"Don’t let one setback make you doubt yourself!"
"In the future, many powerful enemies will appear in this Space, your teacher does not wish to see you defeated by them!"
"Go! Keep cultivating hard!"
"One day, you will be able to see the back of your teacher as he forges ahead."
Pangu, moved to tears, respectfully performed a great salute to Wang Yi, saying, "Disciple remembers the teacher’s teachings!" After saying this, he shouldered the Heavenly Creation Divine Axe and turned, walking towards the depths of the Void.
Before long, he had disappeared from Wang Yi’s view.
Wang Yi watched Pangu’s receding figure, sighing:
"The child has grown up, becoming more and more rebellious!"
Having said that, he turned back and returned to the Special Space, continuing to watch the evolution of the Primordial World.
The public, who had not yet recovered from their shock, upon hearing the dialogue between Wang Yi and Pangu, suddenly erupted like a stampede.
"Is Tao consoling and guiding Pangu? Why does it feel like he’s showing off?!"
"What does it mean the greater the gap between you and me, the greater your potential for improvement? Are these the words of consolation?"
"Has Pangu been so struck by Tao that he can’t distinguish good from bad anymore? Tao is clearly boasting!"
"Sigh! Tao isn’t consoling or guiding, but actually hitting Pangu a second time, I truly feel sorry for Pangu for three seconds."
"Tao, take it easy! Don’t ruin Pangu!"
"I just want to know, how strong exactly is Tao, that Pangu appears so vulnerable in front of him like a child?"
"I damn want to know too!"
Since the battle where Dugu Baitian and others attacked Great Sun Tathagata and Donghuang Taiyi, over twenty thousand years have passed.
During this period, many masters have emerged in the Primordial World.
Some from the Human Race, some from the Myriad Races, and some from the Demon Race...
It showed signs of a hundred schools of thought contending.
Buddhism, since the last great battle, had quieted down a lot, but still walked the world, promoting Buddhist Law and guiding people towards goodness.
Donghuang Taiyi, feeling his strength was still not strong enough after the last battle, returned to the Ancient World to engage in secluded cultivation, no longer appearing in Primordial World.
An extraordinary visitor came to the Immortal Realm.
He looked a bit like Hong Jun, but also quite different, very peculiar
