Li Ruoxuan was left at a loss for words. He could only reply seriously, “I wonder what advice old Mr. Shang has for me this time?”
The old man sat there and said nothing for a long time.
Just when Li Ruoxuan thought that he actually had no purpose for ing here this time…
The old man finally said something.
He slowly started, “Li Ruoxuan, have you heard of the story of the fated person before?”
“Fated person? I’ve heard a little.” Gongsun She had mentioned it the other day. He had also heard a little bit about it before that.
“Then, do you know that the fated person should be more accurately called the Harbinger?” As Shang Li said this, the corners of his eyes raised; there was a flash of light within his turbid gaze.
Li Ruoxuan looked at the hale and hearty old man and asked suspiciously, “The Harbinger? What does that mean?”
Shang Li touched his white beard.
“When you reach grand mastership, you will be able to read and understand some secret ancient scrolls. These scrolls were written in symbols. The ancient scrolls explained some things about the legend of the Harbinger.”
“In the legends, the Harbinger can help grand masters advance into a more mysterious realm. Even I am unable to ascertain the specifics with my cultivation.
“e to think of it now, that young grand master probably has the ability to read and prehend the secret texts at the back of the ancient scrolls.”
Was this the fated person Gongsun She was talking about? Not fully understanding, Li Ruoxuan asked, “This Harbinger, are they a man or woman?”
“No one knows.” Shang Li replied.
Li Ruoxuan pressed, “So the Harbinger is the fated person Gongsun She talked about?”
Shang Li said with a superficial smile, “We do not reveal to the public the story about the Harbinger. We deliberately replaced the name with “fated person” to throw others off because we didn’t want people all over the world to look for the Harbinger.”
The grand masters had confused them deliberately? “What power does the Harbinger possess?”
Shang Li said, “Based on the contents of the scroll I read, I think the Harbinger possesses some special abilities that allow grand masters to penetrate a higher level.”
Li Ruoxuan asked with some uncertainty, “Are you telling me this because you want me to help you capture Qi Qingyao?” If that was the case, he would have to express his reluctance.
“Of course not.” This short sentence of Shang Li’s instantly made Li Ruoxuan more relaxed.
All was good as long as they did not talk about capturing Qi Qingyao.
Shang Li added, “She has that young grand master protecting her now. It’ll be difficult if we want to capture her.”
“…” So the old man already knew about it? Then what was the reason for him to deliberately disclose these things right now?
Shang Li scrutinized Li Ruoxuan, who had an eye patch over his right eye, and suddenly laughed. His laughter sounded rather intriguing. “I wanted to tell you that the Harbinger also has the ability to elevate rank nines to grand mastership.”
“What does this ability specifically refer to?” Li Ruoxuan asked back very coldly.
“I don’t know.” Shang Li shook his head.
Li Ruoxuan stood up and expressed his gratitude shortly before saying, “Mr. Shang has expressed the possibility that Qi Qingyao is the Harbinger. So how did you grand masters ascend to grand mastership before Qi Qingyao appeared?”
Shang Li began reminiscing about the past.
“I was besieged by more than a hundred special ops and broke through the limiting barrier as I was on death’s door. Gongsun She and Pang Juan were similar—they had both experienced a great battle and, with a stroke of luck, reached enlightenment.
“I’m not trying to prove anything, I just want to tell you that the Harbinger can help grand masters, as well as rank nines, reach enlightenment!
“If you insist on asking me how else this can be achieved, I have no way of answering you considering everyone’s circumstances are different.
“You’re still young. If that woman can help you bee a grand master now, then you could immediately bee Northern Liang’s pillar and one of the top powerhouses of the entire continent.”
