For a moment, before the light from the Fruit of Bodhi Way dissipated, many cultivators' bodies lit up one after another.
The entire venue fell into an indescribably strange atmosphere.
"Haha, there really is someone who can break through the realm …" The Samsara Temple Master raised his eyes and looked at a seat at the back.
He saw a Youth who had followed his family's Patriarch here and unexpectedly obtained a Fruit of Dao. His body glowed with green light and his aura skyrocketed. His cultivation broke through the bottleneck of a Middle-stage Golden Immortal and stepped into a Late-stage Golden Immortal.
Before the commotion died down, there were shouts from the other side. Seven or eight people broke through the realm one after another.
The Samsara Temple Master glanced at them and found that they were mostly below the Primordial Unity realm. After all, the higher one's cultivation, the harder it was to break through the realm.
However, from the faces of those Primordial Unity cultivators, he could see that they had benefited a lot. Although it was not enough to break through the realm, it would certainly save them a lot of hidden dangers on the path of cultivation in the future.
Although the Dao Fruits taken by Zenith Heaven cultivators were generally of a higher level, they were limited by their own realm. Even if there were bottlenecks, it would be a major obstacle on the path of cultivation. It was difficult to achieve immediate results.
Of course, there were all kinds of benefits, but they were usually as calm as a well. Even if they had benefited a lot, they would not easily reveal it.
This went on for a long time before the commotion in the venue gradually subsided.
"The Heavenly Court's efforts have not been in vain since we were able to witness everyone's fortuitous encounters during this banquet." Gu Huo Jin's gaze swept across everyone as he laughed heartily.
"It's all thanks to the Supreme Master's generosity in bestowing the Fruit of Bodhi Way. We are deeply grateful. Thank you, Supreme Master."
A Youth in a white robe stood up excitedly and bowed to Time Dao Ancestor. He had just broken through the realm and his aura had not completely stabilized.
The other Primordial Unity cultivators and many Zenith Heaven cultivators who had obtained their own opportunities also stood up and thanked the Heavenly Court.
The Samsara Temple Master looked at this scene with a smile in his eyes and muttered to himself, "The Heavenly Court is indeed extraordinary.
"The Heavenly Court's methods are indeed extraordinary. A mere Bodhi Dao Fruit was able to attract so many fans. I really can't be envious …"
His voice was not loud, and he did not purposely use any mana to boost his voice. However, with everyone's cultivation level, many of them had split a strand of their divine sense to keep an eye on him, so the moment he spoke, everyone's gazes landed on him.
Apart from a few people who were noncommittal, most of them had unfriendly looks on their faces. They were either frowning or angry.
"Humph!
The Samsara Hall had always been at odds with the Heavenly Courts, going against the Heavenly Dao, and violating its principles, causing the entire True Immortal Dimension to be in chaos.
This time, we have to thank the Great Supreme Being's generosity to allow you to enjoy the feast together with us, yet you still dare to boast shamelessly here … "A white-haired old man was filled with righteous indignation, and he couldn't help but stand up and curse loudly.
When the others saw this, they too began to accuse the Samsara Palace of misconduct.
For a time, the entire venue seemed as if a nest of magpies had suddenly entered, and they chirped incessantly, causing it to seem rather chaotic.
When Gu Huojin heard this, he did not show the slightest bit of anger. He still greeted them with a smile.
He raised his hand and pressed it twice in front of him, signaling for the crowd to calm down. Soon, the surroundings returned to normal.
"My fellow Daoists, there is no need to be like this. The old grudge between the Heavenly Courts and the Samsara Hall has been entangled for countless years. It is difficult to find out who was right and who was wrong.
Today, I have invited the Samsara Temple Master to this Bodhi Banquet not to condemn you, but to find a way to pacify the war together, "Gu Huojin said.
When the crowd heard this, they all nodded and praised the Time Dao Ancestor in their hearts. She was indeed worthy of being the Lord of the Immortal Domain and a leading figure of the Righteous Path.
"What a good way to pacify the war. In this world, I'm afraid there is no one else who can say such high-sounding words without blushing, right?" The Samsara Temple Master laughed loudly.
"Are you questioning my sincerity, Temple Master?
I have already shown my sincerity by allowing you to enter the Jade Pool and not sending troops to suppress the rebel army of the Samsara Hall outside the Heavenly Gate.
As long as you are willing to pacify the dispute and stop the war … we can turn enemies into friends, and let bygones be bygones. This will be a story that will be passed down for thousands of years in the Immortal Domain, "Gu Huojin said slowly, raising his eyebrows slightly.
When they heard this, the expressions of the cultivators present changed, and a trace of anger flashed in many of their eyes.
"You want to turn enemies into friends with such traitors?
You want to erase the feud with the Samsara Hall?
Then what about my revenge?
What about those loyal officials who were killed by the Samsara Hall for the sake of the Heavenly Courts? "True Lord Cang Wu stood up angrily and asked repeatedly.
"Fellow Daoist Cang Wu, revenge is revenge. How long will this hatred last?
Over the years, many people from the Heavenly Courts have died, and the Samsara Hall has also suffered many casualties.
If we don't erase this feud, who knows how many loyal officials will die for it in the future?
How can this revenge be completed? "Gu Huojin looked at him deeply and consoled him sincerely.
"Haha … Revenge is revenge. Since the Heavenly Courts are unwilling, I will leave the Jade Pool on my own," True Lord Cang Wu said with a sorrowful expression, looking up to the sky and laughing.
"The Heavenly Courts are not just useless scoundrels, they have some backbone." Seeing this, the Samsara Temple Master said with a hint of admiration in his eyes.
"Temple Master, the Heavenly Courts' sincerity is right in front of you. Are you really not willing to accept the reconciliation?" Gu Huojin asked with a frown.
"Reconciliation?
Haha … I have a suggestion. How about you take a look at my real face and then decide whether to reconcile or not? "
The Samsara Temple Master laughed maniacally. Then, he raised his hand and took off the bamboo hat that he always wore on his face.
It was different from the sage-like, ferocious, and ugly face that everyone present had guessed. It was a rather ordinary Youth's face.
Dao Lord Time's body shook slightly, and a look of disbelief flashed in his eyes.
The other Dao Ancestors beside him also changed their expressions, especially the Temple Master of Jiuyuan Temple, Li Yuanjiu.
"Han Li?" Li Yuanjiu's body leaned forward slightly, and he could not help but call out this name.
Most of the people present were already familiar with this name.
At first, this name was only mentioned in bits and pieces. Sometimes it involved people from the Heavenly Courts, and sometimes it involved the Monster Race and Demon Race. Sometimes it seemed that they heard some rumors about this person from the Supervising Immortal Envoy.
Of course, what had truly drawn the attention of the entire Heavenly Court was the fact that Han Li had fought his way into the Golden Essence Immortal Palace on his own, completely disregarding the authority of the Heavenly Court. After that, the Heavenly Court had heard his name more and more frequently.
Not long ago, the new wanted criminal of the Heavenly Courts who defeated Dao Ancestor Feng Qingshui was also called "Han Li".
As for his subsequent killing of Xuanyuan Jie, one of the Seven Lords, because it happened during the Bodhi Banquet, not many people knew about it. Even if they heard some rumors, they might not take it seriously.
No matter how bizarre this person's experience was, it was simply unbelievable that a Zenith Heaven Realm cultivator killed Xuanyuan Jie, one of the Seven Lords.
"How is this possible?
The Samsara Temple Master is actually that Han Li? "
"He is that Han Li?
He looks very ordinary … "
"This … this is not right, the timing doesn't seem to match …" A Zenith Heaven Realm cultivator who had fought against the Samsara Temple for many years also murmured.
"Isn't Han Li cultivating in the Law of Time?
What is going on? "
"Could it be that the Supreme Xuanyuan Jie's death is true?
Is it actually the doing of the Samsara Temple? "
…
For a time, the entire Jade Pool was in chaos. There were all kinds of speculations about the Samsara Temple Master and "Han Li", and the discussions were even more heated than before.
Combined with the various bizarre rumors in the past and the influence of the Samsara Temple, many top cultivators in the entire venue began to be confused by the name "Han Li". In their conversations, the name that was mentioned the most was "Han Li".
Sitting behind Meng Po, Yu Menghan was even more shocked. The moment she saw his face, she could not help but want to stand up. Fortunately, her Master noticed her and restrained her in time.
"Girl, don't move." Meng Po used a secret technique to transmit her voice.
She did not know why Yu Menghan suddenly lost her composure, but vaguely guessed that it had something to do with the "True Scripture of Five Thunders".
However, Yu Menghan quickly calmed herself down. She carefully sized up the Samsara Temple Master for a moment and murmured,
"No, it's not him …"
Her voice was as soft as a mosquito's, so no one noticed it.
"No wonder Ancestor Chen Tuan made so many divinations earlier, but the results were all cloudy and foggy, and he was unable to find the method.
It turns out that the cycle of karma has long been disrupted. No wonder, no wonder … "Gu Or Jin said slowly, as if the doubts that had been lingering in his heart for many years had finally been resolved.
"It seems that Taoist Gu has figured out the various causes?" The Samsara Temple Master raised his eyebrows and asked.
"I may not have been clear about it before, but now that I've comprehended the mysteries of the past trigrams and combined them with what I've seen and heard, I have a rough idea.
In that case, you are Han Li, and Han Li … is also you? "Gu Or Jin nodded and said something that only a few people could understand.
"Back then, you said, 'The Great Way walks alone, how can I be coveted?'
You killed my Taoist companion and forced me to a dead end. That was why I fought with my life on the brink of death. In the end, by a freak combination of factors, I traveled through time and space and became the Samsara Temple Master today. Do you think such hatred can be wiped away with a smile? "The Samsara Temple Master did not answer Gu Or Jin's question, but changed the topic.
The Law of Time?
Traveled through time and space?
The more the crowd listened, the more confused they became, and the more shocked they became.
Only Li Yuanjiu frowned and then trembled, as if he had guessed something.
Of course, he knew that it was impossible for a person to cultivate two Supreme Laws at the same time. This Samsara Temple Master and Han Li, who cultivated the Law of Time, were the same person, but at the same time, they were not the same person.
Then who was the one who imparted his power to him?
