Upon hearing this, Su Mu nodded and said, "I suppose so."
"I’m not saying you should work under ; it’s more like you and , being friends without any superior-subordinate relationship."
Hearing this, Elder Bai i also nodded with a smile, understanding the nature of their relationship.
Although Su Mu always treated him as a friend, and he often called Su Mu "Brother," deep inside, Elder Bai i always saw himself as a "follower."
"If it’s him, crafting an artifact for you, Brother Su, would be no problem at all."
"Furthermore, I believe he can utilize the ’Coordinates’ to forge a unique and exclusive magical treasure for you, Brother Su."
Upon learning that the one forging an artifact for Su Mu was Wu Di, his doubts vanished, though he hadn’t expected Wu Di to also be an artifact forger.
Logically speaking, with Wu Di’s level of mastery in the Path of Forging, he should have already been renowned across the Ten Thousand Realms and left behind many legends.
After all, Elder Bai i was familiar with and had interacted with the top-tier artifact forgers across the Ten Thousand Realms.
Artifact forging demands a high standard of physical strength, and with Wu Di’s robust physique, he might be the pinnacle of artifact forgers across the Ten Thousand Realms....
He had concealed it too well, and I had no idea.
....
"Brother Yang, do you know Wu Di?" Su Mu, seeing Elder Bai i’s high praise, asked out of curiosity.
"I don’t know him; we’ve never t." Elder Bai i waved his hand and said, "However, although I haven’t t him personally, I’ve seen so of his deeds and heard legends about him."
Hearing this, Su Mu raised his brow, a gleam flashing in his eyes.
It seems that Wu Di is quite the illustrious figure in the outside world!
......
"Brother Su, there’s sothing I’ve been pondering whether to say..." Elder Bai i remarked, gazing softly at the Long River.
"Please, feel free to speak," Su Mu responded.
...
"In my opinion, a person can have flaws, but cannot have a soft spot."
"Although I haven’t interacted much with you, Brother Su, I can sense that you are a person who deeply values emotional bonds."
"If a person has too many emotional bonds, they beco a soft spot."
"Once soone has a soft spot, it becos a very..."
Here, Elder Bai i paused for several seconds before gradually saying, "A very terrifying thing."
Su Mu raised an eyebrow upon hearing these words.
It wasn’t the first ti he had heard such words.
The first ti was from Shen Yu, who, although she didn’t explicitly say it, implied the sa aning.
The second ti was from Lady Houtu, who spoke directly to him, as she knew his only soft spot was Nannan.
Now, this was the third ti Su Mu heard it from Elder Bai i.
Su Mu also admitted he indeed had a soft spot; Nannan was his biggest one. He couldn’t imagine what he would do if Nannan were to fall into the enemy’s hands as a hostage...
He had pondered over this problem many tis, yet each ti he couldn’t find a solution that convinced him.
Gradually, he began avoiding thinking about it.
Hearing Elder Bai i ntion it again, Su Mu gazed at the tranquil Long River and let out a long sigh.
Upon hearing this sigh, Elder Bai i also found his answer.
As he had expected, Brother Su indeed had a soft spot, and it seed to be extraordinarily vital.
The term "soft spot" had beco very foreign to Elder Bai i.
Long, long ago, he had already eradicated any soft spot, aning nothing could threaten him.
You might as well kill outright, as having a "soft spot" wouldn’t lead to my downfall.
In the Cultivation Realm, there’s talk of "cutting ties with the mortal world," which ans severing one’s soft spot and all emotional influences.
Even for those at their level, once soone "ascends to immortality," reaching the Human Immortal Realm, or even as early as the Divinity Transformation Realm, they’ve generally already cut ties with the mortal world.
Failing to sever worldly attachnts makes subsequent cultivation incredibly difficult, plagued by inner demons.
The higher one’s cultivation and status, the less they should have a "soft spot," because when one reaches that level, it’s no longer just their soft spot—it’s the soft spot of a world, many worlds, countless cultivators!
Forget the Divine Domain or the Immortal Domain; in a Great World with strong comprehensive strength, having no soft spots is a basic condition for a Realm Master.
Even if you abducted and killed the Realm Master’s entire family, it wouldn’t affect their emotions, let alone disrupt their composure.
Should the Realm Master falter, it would be a catastrophe for the world!
Let alone higher Immortal Domains, Divine Domains, or even Holy Spirit Domains, where the rulers are invulnerable to threats.
The higher one stands, the lesser the emotional ties; you could kill their child in front of them, and it would hardly disrupt their composure.
Even such small Realm Masters behave this way.
Not to ntion Su Mu, who stands guard over the River of Ti.
Once Su Mu truly takes that step to oversee the River of Ti and govern the Ten Thousand Realms, if he has a soft spot, it spells catastrophe for the entire Ten Thousand Realms. It’s not just Su Mu’s soft spot; it’s the soft spot of every creature in the Ten Thousand Realms!
Su Mu’s soft spot could be called not a "soft spot" but a "catastrophe" that could sweep through the Ten Thousand Realms!
In Elder Bai i’s view, though Su Mu has a deep bond even with the newly contracted "Fish of Coordinates," which is a positive attribute, as it ans when he takes that step, the Ten Thousand Realms will enjoy peace and stability due to Su Mu’s "kindness."
Yet, once it crosses the threshold of "kindness" and becos a soft spot, everything changes drastically.
"Kindness" has its limits and is controllable, but a "soft spot" is limitless and uncontrollable.
.....
Elder Bai i could tell Su Mu’s soft spot wasn’t the "Fish of Coordinates" nor any of his contracted Spirit Pets.
His soft spot was likely "soone" or "sothing."
Elder Bai i chose not to question Brother Su about his soft spot; he didn’t wish to know nor dared to know.
He couldn’t bear the consequences.
Because that "soone" or "sothing" could potentially affect the destiny and structure of the entire Ten Thousand Realms. How could he dare inquire?
.......
After a long silence, Su Mu finally spoke softly, "You’re the third person to tell this."
Hearing this, Elder Bai i’s pupils contracted.
It seems that Brother Su has quite a few followers, and if they can say the sa thing as him, they must be extraordinary, with significant backgrounds.
.....
"Brother Su, how do you view this problem?" Elder Bai i took a deep breath.
