The woman was a bit stunned at being scolded, wondering if her ears were deceiving herself.

Born into a mighty force with Innate Realm powerhouses, although her talent was only mediocre in the Second Great Mortal World as Three-Elemental Spiritual Roots, it still presented a miniscule possibility of Golden Core Realm, with great hopes of becoming an Innate Realm cultivator within a thousand years.

No one had ever dared to be so disrespectful to her, much less an ordinary mortal.

Suddenly, her breath caught in her throat as she hastily raised a hand to prevent her two maids from making a move.

Cold sweat beaded on her forehead as she looked at Tian Yongheng’s back, which seemed to grow infinitely taller in her vision.

This... is no mere mortal!

Just now, she felt a monstrous force, far beyond the presence of even her Innate Realm ancestors, pressing down on her until she couldn’t even breath.

No, Innate Realm wasn’t even worthy of being compared to it. The difference was like a grain of sand compared to a vast universe.

She couldn’t even discern what that immeasurable power was, if it was Divine Sense or Spiritual Energy, or something else entirely; she just felt her life and death was in the other party’s hands, and her entire being could be obliterated with a mere extension of his thought.

She felt relieved she had reacted quickly, while at the same time, immense excitement washed over her like a tide!

This was at least a supreme powerhouse above the Golden Core Realm, perhaps even above the Void Refinement Realm!

Meeting such a being was entirely a great stroke of luck, capable of changing fate!

Standing up, she suddenly knelt, kowtowing three times, each one shaking the carriage, causing those outside to turn pale with fright while the maids were utterly dumbfounded.

"I, not knowing the immensity of heaven and earth, have mistakenly offended senior, please be magnanimous and spare this one’s, no, this ant’s life!"

The woman spoke without a hint of shame, her arrogance from before withdrawn without a trace left.

She may seem overbearing and ignorant, but in fact, she was an extremely shrewd individual.

Who among the ranks of Immortal Cultivators was a complete idiot with no understanding of worldly affairs? 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦

Perhaps only those glass canons who had been raised under the protection of seniors their entire life, not setting foot into the outside world.

The moment she realized that she might have kicked an iron plate this time, her attitude changed instantly, and she decisively knelt down without a moment’s hesitation.

What use was face when one was dead?

The other party was capable of annihilating her entire family!

Tian Yongheng finally turned his head, looking at her deeply with his unfathomable, abyss like gaze, making her hair stand on end.

"Junior, you must remember that there are always heavens beyond heavens, a slight carelessness can lead to eternal damnation in the cultivation world. Do not be complacent just because you have talent or background; I was already at the Foundation Establishment Realm at your age and achieved the Acquired Realm before a hundred years."

His voice echoed like a grand bell, each word shaking the woman’s Dao Heart.

A cultivator possessing talent equal to a Heavenly Spiritual Root can usually break through to the Foundation Establishment Realm before fifty and the Acquired Realm before 200, achieving the Innate Realm by 500 and advancing to the Golden Core Realm before a thousand years of age.

But...

Foundation Establishment before 50, Acquired before a hundred!

Such talent is probably top tier even among Heavenly Spiritual Root prodigies!

Wouldn’t that mean this person was already at the Innate Realm by 300 years of age!?

The woman was shocked.

It was unknown how she would handle it if she knew Tian Yongheng was already at the Golden Core Realm around 200 years of age.

Though he ultimately decided against it; although he was nearly invincible in the Lower Realm and he was no longer as cautious as before, it did not mean he had completely let down his guard.

Achieving Acquired Realm before a 100 years was, although exaggerated, still within the level of a top tier, once in ten thousand or hundred thousand year prodigy.

But being at the Golden Core Realm at 200 was definitely not something that could be said casually even to a random chicken or dog.

There were still Immortals and Gods watching from high above.

His greatest advantage against them was the mystery surrounding his existence, which made them wary of him.

Disguising himself as the reincarnation of a supreme powerhouse was a good cover for now, but if he revealed too much, then they would really find out he was just an anomaly who achieved his current level in a single life with no support, making him far more dangerous.

He couldn’t count solely on Kunlun for protection, he had to do everything within his own power himself to buy some more time.

Just a thousand or two thousand more years would suffice.

But before that, it was still the same method of creating mystery around him and prevent being pried into.

Looking at the stunned woman, he spoke again, "What’s your name?"

"Meng Hongling..."

Meng Hongling replied numbly, her eyes vacant, unable to recover from the immense shock.

It was understandable, ultimately, even seeing a Heavenly Spiritual Root would be extremely difficult for her, not to mention someone comparable to a top tier Heavenly Spiritual Root.

Most importantly, it wasn’t a mere genius, but a true powerhouse who had already grown up, living up to his potential!

Tian Yongheng nodded before speaking, "In a few years, perhaps even decades, a young cultivator named Ouyang Chenyao will pass by this place, her destination the State of Feng at the edge of the continent, Qingyun Region. She has a red lotus mark between her brows. If you can establish a connection or guide her, that will be your greatest opportunity."

Saying this, Tian Yongheng’s figure began to turn illusory, disappearing into nothingness.

He believed this much was enough; it wouldn’t be difficult for Meng Hongling to find Ouyang Chenyao with her background.
