What do you think of me?
On the ancient path, Zhong Qing looked at Green Ghost and Fire Drought.
"Lead the way!"
"This trip to the Abyssal Heaven has yielded quite a lot."
"These gains must be related to your master, right?"
"Since he gave such a big gift, I really should meet him and express my gratitude."
As soon as these words were spoken, Green Ghost and Fire Drought were instantly flustered.
They looked at Zhong Qing in disbelief.
They really wanted to grab Zhong Qing by the collar and roar, "You stole our master's treasures, yet you claim they were gifts from him?"
"How can there be such a shameless person in the world?!"
But in the end, neither of them said anything.
Their expressions, however, grew even more complex.
"Your Excellencies, this should be our first meeting, right?"
"But why do I feel like you're quite familiar with me! And perhaps, there's some misunderstanding?"
Zhong Qing naturally noticed the changes in their expressions.
The emotions in their eyes were practically a kaleidoscope.
They were more than just familiar with Zhong Qing; they had circled him several times a day.
They could almost count every strand of Zhong Qing's dark and thick long hair.
As for misunderstanding?
It didn't exist!
He was simply an existence that was greedy to the extreme, bizarrely demonic, and utterly shameless.
"Although Your Excellency is meeting us for the first time, we, for you, are..."
Green Ghost tried to find a word to describe it.
But he found himself utterly speechless.
He took a deep breath and turned his face away.
He didn't even know how to describe his current feelings.
"Please!"
Finally, he just waved his hand, making a gesture to invite, simply resigning himself to being a pure tool for leading the way.
The Abyssal Heaven was vast!
Like a continent.
Its diameter was about ten thousand miles.
The three passed through the forest of white bones and crossed one tall mountain after another.
Finally, they arrived at the center of the Abyssal Heaven—the Abyss!
The Abyss was dark and lightless; entering it felt like stepping into Hell.
After an unknown period of travel, they saw a river of magma flowing underground.
The magma was scarlet, long, and boundless.
The three arrived at the mouth of the magma.
Green Ghost and Fire Drought knelt on the ground.
They said in unison, "Reporting to Master, the person has been brought."
As soon as the words fell.
The Hell magma churned, and a giant eye emerged from the rolling molten rock.
"Rumble..."
As the giant eye appeared, a terrifying Aura instantly permeated the air.
Filled with an ancient and immortal essence.
The entire underground magma seemed unable to bear this astonishing Aura, and cracks appeared in the walls.
Even the Void Realm shattered inch by inch, appearing twisted and winding.
The whole scene was shocking and terrifying, like the end of the world.
It seemed that in the presence of such an existence, destroying heaven and earth was not difficult.
"Youngster, hand over this Lord's treasures, and I will spare your life."
The Lord of the Abyss's furious voice echoed, shaking the sky.
He stared intently at Zhong Qing, looking as if he would kill him if there was any disagreement.
Facing such a situation.
Zhong Qing's Heart-Nature slightly trembled.
The Lord of the Abyss's strength was unimaginably powerful.
He was probably the strongest opponent he had encountered since he began his journey.
At the same time, he also understood the purpose of the other party inviting him here.
However, once treasures were in his pocket, how could there be any reason to take them out again?
Although the Lord of the Abyss's Aura was terrifying and made him feel immense pressure.
But to say he was very afraid was not entirely true.
After all, he had thought a lot along the way.
And he had deduced a lot of information through the situation.
He stood with his hands behind his back, remaining calm, and said, "Undeniably, you are very strong!"
"However, an existence like you, if you could directly kill me, I'm afraid you wouldn't have waited until now, would you?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the Lord of the Abyssal Heaven was instantly speechless.
He had intended to use his own prestige to achieve the goal of subduing the enemy without fighting.
He hadn't expected to be seen through by this youngster with a single sentence.
He looked at Zhong Qing seriously.
Setting aside their opposing positions.
This child, in front of him, showed not the slightest fear; such Heart-Nature was truly rare.
Zhong Qing's performance also made the Lord of the Abyss put away some of his minor schemes.
His tone softened.
No longer so strong and domineering.
Formally entering the negotiation phase.
"This Chaos Qi cannot be used by those below a certain Realm."
"Your current Realm is relatively low, why are you collecting it?"
"Return the Chaos Qi to me, and I can give you other treasures."
"Furthermore, I am willing to personally erase the imprint of this Lord on it."
"How about it?"
These words made Zhong Qing's mind become active.
He did not directly respond, but instead, his gaze shifted, and he asked, "Your Excellency, what do you think of me as a person?"
Lord of the Abyss: "..."
He didn't quite grasp what Zhong Qing meant by that.
But he had to admit, Zhong Qing was truly extraordinary.
After a moment of silence.
Following Zhong Qing's words, he said, "To cultivate to the Myriad Laws Realm at the age of twenty, and to be able to break the ancient killing array set by this Lord with your own strength, and in one day, consecutively pass three checkpoints set by this Lord, you truly deserve to be called unparalleled in the world!"
This evaluation deeply shook the kneeling Green Ghost and Fire Drought.
Unparalleled in the world!
How high of an evaluation was that?
They knew Zhong Qing was extremely capable, and his methods were bizarre and sinister.
But they had never thought of him in this way.
But now, hearing their master say this, the two thought carefully, and indeed, he was unparalleled in the world.
They had never seen any Myriad Laws Realm Prodigy as monstrous as Zhong Qing.
Although this 'unparalleled in the world' was only a partial title.
But the way the two looked at Zhong Qing completely changed.
After all, this was the evaluation of the Lord of the Abyss.
Involuntarily.
A sincere respect arose.
Zhong Qing also didn't expect to receive such a high evaluation from the Lord of the Abyss.
He also understood!
It turned out that what he had experienced earlier were the checkpoints set by the Lord of the Abyssal Heaven.
He said to himself.
"To be precise, I am currently at the sixth level of the Myriad Laws Realm!"
"My age, I'm still two months shy of twenty!"
"Since I embarked on cultivation, the time, at most, has only been one year."
"What?!"
As soon as these words were spoken.
Whether it was Green Ghost or Fire Drought, or even the Lord of the Abyss.
All were utterly shaken by Zhong Qing's words.
One year.
To embark on the path of cultivation and achieve the Myriad Laws Realm.
Is this possible?
In their long lives, they had seen countless Prodigies.
One could even say they were as numerous as the stars.
The Lord of the Abyss knew that some people's Realm advancement was even more monstrous than Zhong Qing's.
In Buddhism, some people could, in a single day, ascend from a mere Mortal to attain the Arhat Bodhisattva fruit status.
However, those people cultivated their past lives and bore the fruits of their present lives.
Accumulated cultivation over several lifetimes could create such fleeting brilliance.
But Zhong Qing was different from them.
Even, though Zhong Qing's current achievements were far from theirs, the shock he brought him was far more astonishing than those who attained Arhat Bodhisattva fruit status in a single day.
Because he could see that Zhong Qing cultivated the present life's Dao.
His Foundation was incredibly profound.
It was the kind that was built step by step.
Yet, such a person was directly stating that from the time he embarked on the path of cultivation until now, it had only been one year, at most.
How could this not be shocking?
How could it not be astounding?
At least, as far as the Lord of the Abyss knew, even some Great Emperor Reincarnations were far less astonishing than Zhong Qing's performance.
