Omnipotent Husband System-Chapter 548: Discussion & Tips.

Hao Ren had understood what he wanted to do for his third halo. Zhao Kang and his son turned to look at him in unison and the former asked, "Are you sure that he has Nine sword bones?"

Hao Ren nodded and replied, "I stand nothing to gain from lying to you. It is true that he had yet to display any talent, but that is because the child was distracted. His heart is tender, yet to see the dark of the humanity and the world. Thus he was clinging onto a sword gifted to him by his grandmother. Now that the obstacle had turned into a path that would push him forward, he will be fine. Just wait for a couple of days and it would be fine."

Zhao Kang nodded in understanding, as an undying relic, how could he not understand the significance of the situation. He said, "Well, Young Brother Hao, I thank you on behalf of the Zhao Family."

Hao Ren waved his hand and said, "You don’t have to be so formal Elder Zhao. You helped me grasp my strength, and I am just returning the favor to you."

Then suddenly Hao Ren turned his head to look outside the hall and said, "See, he is already taking the steps towards the pinnacle."

The two elders of the Zhao Family looked out and they spotted Xiao Kang practicing sword moves, and his basic moves looked nothing like what they were before. He was now moving with the proficiency of an above average practitioner. His speed was faster and his actions were gradually gaining even more finesse.

Zhao Kang asked, "Can you tell me how did you find out about Xiao Kang having a special physique?"

Hao Ren smiled and replied, "Well, fine."

He revealed his Saint Halo, and the moment Zhao Kang saw it his body shivered, the entire room was flooded with sword intent. The old man gulped as it was the first time he was standing before a saint. Even when he was young he didn’t have this fortune. Hao Ren put away his Halo and said, "Yes, I am a saint and that is why I can see through the talent Xiao Kang possesses."

Zhao Kang was still stunned and asked, "Can you tell me, how does one get that Halo?"

Hao Ren was surprised and asked, "What do you think it is that makes you a saint?"

Zhao Kang nodded and understood that Hao Ren wanted to find out what he knew before he shared anything, and the old man said while stroking his long beard, "Over the years, I have had many conjectures and after all the things that I have found out during my research, I feel like it is not something that is related to the realm of a person, for example, Refining Saint Tang Sen gained his Halo when he was in the Dao Realm. However, after he got the Halo, his craftsmanship improved leaps and bounds. So, I am confused how that works."

Hao Ren smiled and replied, "When you use the spiritual energy to condense it in the form of an Halo, and then engrave that delicate ring with the comprehension of various things related to the path of your choice, that is when you become a saint. However, you need to be very steadfast and very hardworking in order to seek the knowledge that you seek.

The saint Halo is not simply the culmination of your knowledge, but also something that makes you understand the crux and essence of your own path to a higher level. Anyone in the world who is willing to forsake the blind chase of power and dwell deeper in the ocean of knowledge can become a saint. Just remember that even when you have the ocean to yourself, your path is just a drop that is your life treasure."

His words gave the old man an insight and the latter said, "You really are the embodiment of a saint. Just these simple words can set even a block of wood like me on the right path."

Hao Ren shook his head calmly and said, "I am merely having an exchange with you. Nothing else."

Zhao Kang smiled, he thought Hao Ren was giving him face, and the latter said, "Well, I am grateful to you anyway."

Then he looked at his son and said, "Go and spread the word that I had an spar with a young man called Hao Ren, who is in the heavenly realm."

The man nodded and then bowed to the two people before he dashed out. Hao Ren said, "Elder Zhao, I would like to ask you something."

Zhao Kang nodded and looked at Hao Ren with complete attention as the young man asked, "In this world, do we have a place where we can constantly go on to fight?"

Zhao Kang frowned, he replied, "I don’t quite understand what you mean. Are you perhaps looking for an arena?"

Hao Ren shook his head and replied, "I want to find a place where I can go on and indulge myself in battle with large number of people. I wish to see how far I can go, however, I am looking for something meaningful and not a petty battle. With the limited number of the Heavenly realm experts, it is not easy for them to come this far, I would rather not fight against them."

Zhao Kang nodded in understanding and replied, "I have no idea if there is such a place, but I have heard a rumor."

Hao Ren leaned forward and asked, "What rumor?"

Zhao Kang said, "It is just a legend, I have no concrete evidence, that in the south of the continent, there was a huge space rift that spawned demons. These demons were far stronger than the normal people, and so, the strongest of that time, Lord San Hyk, an expert in the heavenly emperor realm led out all the heavenly realm strong men to deal with the demons.

They bravely entered the rift and never came back. Some speculated that they died, and some speculated that they solved the problem by collapsing the space rift and sacrificing themselves, and some said that place had become the eternal battlefield where the human race is fighting against the demons."

Hao Ren raised his brow and thought about it for a moment before he said, "It seems to me that this whole legend has only existed on the Spirit Siphon continent. I have never heard of it on my place."

Zhao Kang raised his brow and asked, "What do you mean? Are you not from the same continent as me?"

Hao Ren smiled and shook his head as he replied, "I come from the Spirit Shimmer Continent."

Zhao Kang was shocked and then he thought of something and looked at Hao Ren as if he had spotted a ghost and asked, "Are you the one behind all the failures the forces of the

Spirit Siphon Continent have encountered when they tried to colonize that place?"

Hao Ren thought for a bit and said, "Well, in a way, yes. After all, that Continent is the empire I made for my wife. How can I let anyone just come over and take control of it."

Zhao Kang was so shocked that he was doubting his existence. Hao Ren smiled and said, "Don’t worry, as long as the people back home are able to protect themselves, I will open the restrictions and then you would be able to visit the place, as a tourist."

The old man sighed, and said, "Your heavenly realm arrays are not something that we can handle. Those things are so tricky that they keep on changing until they are attacked and when that happens, those changes all unleash at the same time. When I first heard it, I was very curious to find out who could be this cruel."

Hao Ren chuckled, he didn’t feel any malicious intent coming from the old man or he would have burned him alive with his flames. After the banter, Hao Ren decided to retire for the day and continue cultivating. Zhao Kang had someone arrange a courtyard for him.

The Zhao Family was a massive family, they had twelve branches and Zhao Kang was the great elder, he didn’t meddle in the governance, or helped his family line unfairly. He was a fair person and that’s why he was so respected in the family.

As Hao Ren walked out of the hall, he spotted Xiao Kang practicing his swings. The little guy was just five years old, his body was covered with sweat and he was exhausted, but his eyes were brimming with determination. Hao Ren took a deep breath and suppressed his desire to take him in as a disciple and said, "Xiao Kang."

The young boy stopped in his tracks and turned to look at Hao Ren while he panted hard. Hao Ren said, "If you truly want to excel, then learn to slowly push your limits. If you keep exerting yourself like this, then your sword will waver, and that wouldn’t be good."

Xiao Kang wanted to argue but he realized that he didn’t even have the strength to talk. Hao Ren said, "Sit down and think about what you have been learning while you catch your breath and then go eat something."

That said, he left the place calmly, thinking about what he would do in the future.
