It was clear what Finley's real body meant. He was asking Darren whether or not he should teach Finley some powerful cultivation methods to help him grow even further.
"I think that it would be enough for you to allow him to grow on his own. I don't expect you to help him, Mr. Feng."
Darren knew Finley quite well. That was what Finley wanted. He only hoped that he would not be suppressed.
"I agree," Finley's real body said without hesitation.
Darren was very surprised. He hadn't expected that a man who was comparable to Lord Starry Sword in stature and power would be so easy-going.
"I don't want to disrupt you any longer. Please excuse me. I shall take my leave," Darren said, bidding him goodbye with cupped hands.
"I don't mind you staying," the real body of Finley said. "The avatar's matter is not a big deal. However, I have some questions for you."
"Please go ahead." Darren stopped.
"You have met Starry Sword, right?"
"Yes," Darren answered.
"Why are you still alive?" the real body of Finley asked.
Darren was dumbfounded when he heard this question.
Finley's real body was asking him why Lord Starry Sword hadn't killed him. It was obvious that Finley's real body thought Darren should already be dead.
"Maybe it was because I wanted to become stronger," Darren answered after thinking for a while.
A faint smile appeared on Finley's real body's face. Darren was confused by this.
"Did he tell you that your Conflicting Cultivation would be more difficult in the Primitive Wilderness?" the real body of Finley asked.
"Difficult?" Darren was surprised to hear that. When he was on the Lothlann Continent, raising his cultivation grade would cause the thunder punishment of Heavenly Repression to manifest. However, in the Primitive Wilderness, he hadn't caused any tribulation thunder to appear even though he had broken through cultivation stages multiple times. How could his Conflicting Cultivation be more difficult? Darren was confused.
"It seems that he didn't tell you," Finley's real body muttered.
"Sir, please tell me what I should do," Darren said, bowing.
"Nothing special. At present, you are still at a relatively low realm. Thanks to the unique laws in the Primitive Wilderness, you can shield yourself from getting sensed by the chief gods. However, once you step into the Superior God Realm, your Conflicting Cultivation will break such kind of shielding. By then, all the chief gods and powerful Defiant Masters will be able to sense your existence at any given time. The moment that happens, your life will be in grave danger," the real body of Finley explained.
Darren frowned.
"I don't understand. Why would the chief gods and Defiant Masters want to kill me?" Darren asked.
"It's not personal. The chief gods would want to kill any existence that could possibly threaten them in the future, including Defiant Masters. Therefore, once the existence of any Defiant Master is perceived by the chief gods, they would never let go of him.
Human beings who cultivate the Conflicting Cultivation would also be hunted down by chief gods. They are also the natural enemies of all Defiant Masters. It will be dangerous for you in all aspects," the real body of Finley said.
Darren smiled bitterly. He was still very weak, but he already had many extremely strong enemies waiting for him in the future. The path he would take in the Primitive Wilderness seemed too difficult for him.
"Even so, why do you and Lord Starry Sword both think that I should die?" Darren asked again.
"The answer is very simple. If one day you are exposed to those powerful beings, they might be able to sense the existence of those at the same level as Starry Sword and myself through you. They can find us and kill us in an instant. In fact, it is not only Starry Sword and I who will be in danger. Also some other powerful human masters will be in danger.
That's why your existence has posed a fatal threat to all the human masters. You need to know that people like Starry Sword and I are extremely important. We could be viewed as only ones keeping the human race safe. Even if only one of us dies, it will be a huge loss to the human race. Do you understand?" Finley's real body explained.
