He Mu's voice was loud and solemn. In Shi Hao's eyes, it was like a supreme god king commanding the heaven and earth, causing all the realms to tremble.
For a moment, there was lightning and thunder over Huozhou, as if the heavens were angry and wanted to impose heavenly punishment.
At the same time, he saw a terrifying vision rising above He Mu's head - in an instant, various scenes of the great world collapsing, time drying up, and the avenue being broken emerged, which was shocking.
However, these visions and changes only existed for a moment and then disappeared. When Shi Hao looked again, it was as if nothing had appeared.
He understood that just now it was heaven and earth echoing He Mu's words——
Shi Hao once heard that the most powerful people in ancient times would cause changes in the world with every word and deed. He thought that this should be the case.
However, the visions and changes in the sky just now did not last too long, and they did not directly make the heaven and earth eclipse, change the shape of mountains and rivers, and the visual impact was slightly smaller.
"Perhaps, this powerful man who calls himself the Lord of Zixiao Palace is not an ordinary leader, but he is still slightly worse than those ancient giants?"
"I don't know, who is better, the Master of Zixiao Palace or the God of Liu?"
Shi Hao thought this in his mind. This was the first time he had seen a supremely powerful man who was suspected to be an ancient giant, and he would inevitably make some comparisons in his mind.
Just the thought of being able to study under a giant in the upper world and learn the so-called three thousand magical powers of guardianship, made Shi Hao's eyes a little more exciting.
"Just wait, whether it is the upper realm where the Seven Gods are, or the clan of heavenly beings who retaliate for kindness and revenge, I will settle the past karma with you one by one when my magical power is completed."
…
On the other side, He Mu didn't pay attention to what Shi Hao was thinking.
When he spoke previously, he revealed part of the power of the Tao Fruit to guard against possible changes in the timeline.
Yes, He Mu accepted Shi Hao as his disciple. In addition to identifying his comrades in the camp and increasing his chances of winning in the future, it was also one of his original purposes to explore the mystery of time and space he faced now.
After all, neither the Red Dust Immortal nor the Immortal King should be involved in the change of time, and he was a time traveler, so he had to think more and make more plans for some things.
But now, the visions of heaven and earth have dispersed, but He Mu has not sensed any shock or backlash from cause and effect in time and space——
It seems that the current history may not be inconsistent with the "past" in my understanding.
Or maybe it was the "future" Emperor Huang Tian who took the initiative to suppress all the changes in the timeline and recognized the current changes?
All of this, just like the mystery of the time travel that day, He Mu could only guess and speculate, but could not get any substantive clues, let alone discover the truth behind it.
Putting down the speculations in his heart that were destined to be inconclusive, He Mu focused on the entire world again. The moment the power of Tao Fruit was revealed, there was an obvious change in the nine heavens and ten earths, and there was a kind of shallow power. Emerging, oppressing, or resisting He Mu's Qi.
The previous thunder and lightning were a concrete manifestation of the instinctive resistance of heaven and earth to He Mu. However, this reaction was smaller than before. It seemed that this step of measuring the land of Huozhou on foot was quite effective.
However, this is not the purpose of measuring Huozhou. Speaking of which, He Mu no longer cares about this level of oppression.
Now, he can disperse the suppression of the Nine Heavens with just one thought, and even the entire Nine Heavens and Ten Earths may not be able to stop He Mu from letting go. This is the terrifying thing about being on par with the Immortal King.
However, He Mu is not a villain, so naturally he will not do such outrageous things. He just breaks through the barriers and suppression of Wandao.
Immediately, He Mu came back to his senses. He looked at Shi Hao, who had a solemn and dignified face, and waved his hand, and a strange Great Dao mantra suddenly condensed in the void.
This incantation is composed of an unknown avenue rune, and the fluctuations on it are obscure and difficult to understand. However, there are faint sounds of thunder and lightning, which seem to be resounding from heaven's punishment.
This is a prayer, but it also has the effect of a curse. It is the entry oath prepared by He Mu for the Zixiao Palace.
It has a similar effect to the real name of the king of the foreign imperial clan. When recited, it can be connected with He Mu's deity and receive blessings. Similarly, if you make an oath with this, once you violate it, you will be punished.
When Shi Hao saw this, he quickly understood what He Mu meant. Immediately, his expression became serious, and he was obviously a little serious.
Shi Hao, who had been taught by Liu Shen since he was a child, was well-informed. He naturally knew the general function of this mantra. This should be the oath to get started.
Shi Hao knew the general rules of most Taoist traditions, and knew that what He Mu said had the proper meaning, so he did not contradict it, but responded directly and loudly.
"This disciple is willing to join the lineage of Zixiao Palace, inherit the Taoism, and never rebel!"
As he spoke, Shi Hao cut his finger and forced out a drop of bright red blood. It was the blood essence bred in his body and contained supreme divine power. It was not only extremely precious, but also connected to his life.
Immediately, he swore an oath with this drop of essence and blood, completed the initiation ceremony, called He Mukou "Palace Master", and officially joined the Zixiao Palace.
After watching Shi Hao finish all this, He Mu nodded with satisfaction. He knew that the matter of accepting the Emperor of Desolate Heaven as his disciple was completely settled at this point.
In the endless and distant future, the situation in the world may be very difficult. He Mu accepted Shi Hao as his disciple this time. Although he did not intend to directly change anything, he also expected to make the future less difficult and leave some more hope.
Therefore, after completing all the introductory regulations, He Mu looked at Shi Hao and said seriously.
"Era changes all the time, and the world can never last forever. I have looked across time and space, and have foreseen a change that has never happened before. I have also seen the blood and chaos all over the world, and I feel sad in my heart."
"At that time, the world will usher in the greatest reckoning in history. Everyone will have to make a choice, whether to sink in the great world, or to rise against the trend and shake the world. Sometimes it is just a thought."
"Your qualifications are excellent, and your character is even rarer. I only hope that you will not let down this innate beauty, never forget your original intention, and make better choices when the reckoning comes in the future."
"..."
He Mu's words made Shi Hao feel a little horrified. He couldn't imagine how difficult the future would be for a powerful leader like the Palace Master to sigh like this?
Moreover, is such a prediction really true? If the monk really has insight into the future, wouldn't everything already be a foregone conclusion? Will everything in the world remain unchanged?
Shi Hao has never believed in the future, just like he doesn't recognize reincarnation. In his heart, the past is just smoke and dust, and the future is a mirror, and only the present can be grasped in his hands.
However, this did not prevent Shi Hao from being curious about the "blood and chaos" mentioned by He Mu.
Seemingly understanding Shi Hao's innermost thoughts, He Mu spoke directly to the former.
"There are a lot of things involved in this matter, and the cause and effect are even more complicated. It's not appropriate for you to know too much right now, let's wait until later."
He Mu's words made Shi Hao swallow the questions in his heart and didn't ask any more questions.
Shi Hao also knew that this was probably not something he should understand at the moment. Perhaps one day in the future, he would be strong enough and would naturally understand everything.
As for now, he just needs to be himself and don't have to think too much. Even if the sky falls, He Mu, the master of the palace with great supernatural powers, can solve everything.
When Shi Hao was silent, He Mu said again.
"Now that you are in the realm of the Venerable, you need to find a source of fire to prepare for promotion to the Divine Fire."
"Forget it, I happen to be in Huozhou now, and my master is also looking for the Chaos Dao Fire. You can travel with me and see if you can get anything."
With that said, He Mu waved his sleeves, and he and Shi Hao both disappeared on the Huozhou grassland without a trace.
