Listening to Tai Hao’s words, Daoist Zhen Yuanzi appeared thoughtful.
Tai Hao noticed and promptly said, "Fire Cloud Cave originally belonged to our friend Daoist Hong Yun’s Daoist School. Although Daoist Hong Yun now only has a Residual Soul, there still exists a fate connection with Fire Cloud Cave."
Upon hearing this, Daoist Zhen Yuanzi instinctively nodded.
Seeing his agreement, Tai Hao continued, "To be frank, my Human Clan wants this Fire Cloud Cave to suppress our Human Clan’s fate."
"Once our Human Clan’s fate is suppressed at Fire Cloud Cave and the Human Path stabilizes, we will connect with Daoist Hong Yun, possibly attracting him to reincarnate within our Human Clan, or perhaps discover his whereabouts."
"The fate connection between us and Daoist Hong Yun offers significant advantages for calculating his location or attracting his reincarnation."
Daoist Zhen Yuanzi remained silent, lost in thought.
After a while, two questions arose in his mind. Without hiding his thoughts, he looked at Tai Hao directly to inquire.
"Using Fire Cloud Cave to suppress the Human Clan’s fate? Since my inception, I’ve never heard of Cave Heaven Blessed Lands being able to suppress fate. Can Tai Hao, my friend, clarify this for me?"
This question lingered in Daoist Zhen Yuanzi’s mind upon hearing Tai Hao’s words — involving his friend Hong Yun, he didn’t inquire initially.
Tai Hao, with an insightful gaze and a calm demeanor, replied, "Cave Heaven Blessed Lands indeed cannot suppress fate, nor can our Human Clan accomplish this alone; yet, during our process of suppressing the Human Clan’s fate, we require a top-tier Cave Heaven Blessed Land."
"As for how to suppress the Human Clan’s fate, this is a clandestine matter of our Human Clan, which I cannot divulge."
Upon hearing this, Daoist Zhen Yuanzi nodded lightly, he understood without further inquiry and proceeded to another question.
"Earlier, Tai Hao mentioned that by connecting with my friend Hong Yun, it’s possible to attract his reincarnation or calculate his location."
Tai Hao nodded affirmatively, "Indeed."
"If so, why hand over Fire Cloud Cave to the Human Clan? Integrating Fire Cloud Cave into our Longevity Mountain Wuzhuang Temple and connecting with our temple’s fate could equally attract my friend Hong Yun’s reincarnation to Longevity Mountain or calculate his whereabouts."
Upon hearing this, Tai Hao remained composed and even smiled slightly while facing Daoist Zhen Yuanzi.
"Daoist Zhen Yuanzi, are you confident in attracting Daoist Hong Yun’s reincarnation to your Wuzhuang Temple, or calculating his whereabouts?"
Daoist Zhen Yuanzi remained silent.
Not really, otherwise he wouldn’t have tried calculating numerous times without success — unable to predict his friend Hong Yun’s existence with a Residual Soul.
Seeing Daoist Zhen Yuanzi’s silence, Tai Hao chose to speak directly, "Daoist Zhen Yuanzi, you lack confidence to achieve these tasks."
Tai Hao was certain, without a moment’s hesitation in his tone.
"If you were confident in achieving these tasks, you’d reject me outright and proceed independently in finding Daoist Hong Yun."
"Rather than discussing here and telling me this."
Tai Hao smiled as he spoke confidently to Daoist Zhen Yuanzi.
Daoist Zhen Yuanzi didn’t dispute, maintaining a calm demeanor without any change as he faced Tai Hao to speak again.
"Since Tai Hao indicated my lack of confidence, can Tai Hao or the Human Clan accomplish these tasks?"
Upon Daoist Zhen Yuanzi’s counterquestioning, Tai Hao understood his purpose in seeking the Human Clan’s promise to help find Hong Yun.
However, can the Human Clan provide such a promise?
Tai Hao pondered over this, and his smile faded.
Moments later, Tai Hao solemnly spoke, "Daoist Zhen Yuanzi, regarding Daoist Hong Yun, our Human Clan cannot promise anything."
Before Daoist Zhen Yuanzi could reply, Tai Hao added, "Daoist Hong Yun’s matters are complex, involving the contest for Hongmeng Purple Qi, which concerns the Saints with overwhelming unpredictability."
"Besides, my observations of Human Clan records suggest possible involvement of certain struggles among them, possibly reaching the highest figure."
At this point, Tai Hao’s demeanor turned gravely serious.
"If involving these entities, even the entire Human Clan couldn’t trace Daoist Hong Yun’s whereabouts."
For matters relating to Daoist Hong Yun, Tai Hao felt the complexity, unable to offer a definite answer or assurance to Daoist Zhen Yuanzi.
Daoist Zhen Yuanzi, too, exhibited a profound seriousness, experiencing heaviness within.
Had he considered these matters before?
Yes, but he hadn’t voiced them, instead suppressing these thoughts internally.
He cannot resist, even risking his life wouldn’t suffice.
Moreover, among unidentified Saints’ struggles lies Daoist Ming He — the exposed culprit behind his friend’s self-destruction, which he couldn’t avenge.
Reflecting on this, Daoist Zhen Yuanzi’s mood darkened further.
A shift overcame him, transitioning from elation at learning about the existence of Hong Yun’s Residual Soul to an immense heaviness. Latest content publıshed on N0velFire.ɴet
Facing Tai Hao, he nodded and said, "I understand."
