After he finished setting everything up, Gu Han turned and fixed his eyes on Jun Mo Xie. His face was complicated, and his eyes were conflicted. It was as though he was carrying some intense hope, and also deep plea.

It was this exact look in his eyes that caused even a stone hearted person like Jun Mo Xie to feel a tremor in his heart.

“This old man had lived for two entire lifetimes, a total of nearly 5,000 years so far.” Gu Han said with a bitter laugh. “In the last life, this old man’s cultivation has stopped at the very peak of the Saint Venerable realm, ultimately failing to pass through the Holy Infant that followed it. Left with death to face, I could only escape with my Holy Infant to be reborn again. I sought out a Xuan Qi cultivation family by the name of Gu Family, entered the womb of a pregnant woman and was born in the body of her infant. Today, I’ve reached the peak of the Third level of Saint Monarch realm!

“I owed my parents in the Gu Family a debt of gratitude as heavy as a mountain, and so although the old Wushan Yun had already disappeared, this old man still chose to go by the name Gu Han! Gu Han only!” A look of reminiscence flashed across his aged face, and he sighed, seemingly having remembered the two loving parents he had…

Jun Mo Xie nodded slowly, creasing his brows. “This junior shall not keep my thoughts from Senior. There is a matter that I am unable to understand.”

“Please ask.” Gu Han said in a warm voice.

“When I met Senior Gu at the Heaven Saint Palace back then, Senior’s cultivation seemed to be much higher than now…” Jun Mo Xie asked. “But I wonder, how did Senior’s cultivation drop to such a level?”

Jun Mo Xie still remembered clearly back when he’d first looked into Gu Han’s eyes and had nearly been lost in the starry space within his gaze. At that time, every move that Gu Han made seemed to be filled with a mystical and profound aura.

It was as if he’d already formed some kind of connections with the heaven’s dao.

That was an extremely profound cultivation that was capable of shaking the world!

Although the current Gu Han was still not someone that could be underestimated, he had clearly lost that transcendental aura from before. It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say that the past Gu Han and one now were two completely different people.

“So you’ve managed to see through that as well.” Gu Han laughed dryly and lampooned. “We are in a cooperative relationship right now, and my situation is not exactly a secret either, so I shall tell you everything! Back then, I’d already reached the peak of the Saint Monarch realm. With just one more step, I would step into the realms of a Half-Sage! In other words, it’s the same realm that Zhan Kuang had reached! At that time, I did not put anything else in my sights, and the only thought I had was to breakthrough as quickly as possible. And so, I did not go out of my way to make things difficult when you visited and did not even say much when you nearly cleaned out almost all of the treasures of our Heaven Saint Palace. Because to me, if I could get past that threshold, nothing is an obstacle!”

“Jun Mo Xie, do you know what that kind of breakthrough is called?” Gu Han asked with a smile.

“What is it called?” Jun Mo Xie smiled back with interest.

“Returning to the natural state, form of emptiness; body of half-sage, limitless spirit. If one wants to ascend to the heavens, one must first be a proper human! That is a Sage!” Gu Han recited solemnly, his expression heavy and stern.

“If one wishes to ascend to the heavens, one must first be a proper human!” Jun Mo Xie mumbled, seemingly having some comprehension in his heart.

“Indeed, the most important point is this sentence!” Gu Han nodded seriously. “You have to make sure to remember it! It will definitely be useful for your cultivation advancements in the future. This is the greatest thing I’ve comprehended over my two lives! Whether one is good or bad; you need to remember when the most crucial time arrives. You are a human! To be a human, you should revert to the most origin nature… a simple and untainted human!”
