Yang Hongwu had actually guessed all of this. However, at this moment, the Exalted Dao Defiants had spoken of it in such a straightforward manner. Coupled with the Exalted Dao Defiants' special ability to bewitch him, it caused the flames of rage in Yang Hongwu's heart to be magnified without limit.
It practically caused Yang Hongwu to lose all reason. However, at this instant, a strand of refreshing energy arose within Yang Hongwu's Dantian. This strand of refreshing energy was like a strand of spring water in a desert, and it caused Yang Hongwu to shudder.
At that instant, Yang Hongwu returned to his senses.
"Senior, you really are extraordinary. I almost fell into it." Yang Hongwu spoke at this moment while the fear in his heart had risen to the extreme as he gazed at the Exalted Dao Defiants. On the other hand, Zi Xintong and Hong Qiaoqiao were seated upright not too far away from him. However, Yang Hongwu was very clearly aware that he, Zi Xintong, and Hong Qiaoqiao weren't in the same space right now. Even though he could see them, he was extremely far away from them.
If Yang Hongwu didn't possess the secret technique to teleport through space, then he would be utterly unable to sense their location.
At this moment, even though Yang Hongwu could see them and sense their location, Yang Hongwu was very clearly aware that it wasn't easy for him to instantly teleport to where they were. The Exalted Dao Defiants wouldn't allow him to do as he wished. Even if the Exalted Dao Defiants were only a clone right now, his strength was still there for all to see. He was truly too formidable, and he wasn't an existence that Yang Hongwu could go against right now. Unless … unless Yang Hongwu was willing to undo the seal on the energy within him and allow it to erupt.
However, Yang Hongwu didn't know what would happen if he really did that. It was his final trump card, and unless he had no other choice, Yang Hongwu would absolutely not utilize a strength that didn't belong to him.
"You actually noticed it so quickly?" The Exalted Dao Defiants was extremely surprised when he saw Yang Hongwu recover from his rage so quickly because it was extremely rare. Even if it was him, if such terrifying rage was aroused within him, then it would be equivalent to arousing an inner demon within him. Any cultivator would have an inner demon within them. It wasn't a demon, it was a demon within their heart. Every single one of them had an inner demon within them. However, some had a very weak inner demon while some were very strong. In fact, it was a so-called obsession.
The Exalted Dao Defiants was able to discern that the inner demon within Yang Hongwu's heart was extremely terrifying and strong. Moreover, it was an existence that couldn't be eliminated or obliterated. However, Yang just happened to be able to suppress it and awaken it with such ease and with ease. So, how could the Exalted Dao Dao Defiants couldn't be??
"Senior, what do you want?" Yang Hongwu took a deep breath, and then he gazed at the Exalted Dao Defiants and said, "I told you that you can just tell me if I can help you. However, you said that you want to sever the connection with your true body and sever that shackle. It isn't something that I can accomplish right now unless my strength has arrived at that level. However, that is absolutely not the case right now."
"No, no, only you can accomplish that right now. You won't be able to accomplish it if you're too strong." At this moment, the Exalted Dao Defiants spoke once more.
His expression didn't seem like he was lying, and it puzzled Yang Hongwu. I've become stronger, yet I still can't accomplish it? What's going on?
"Senior, are you sure you're not joking with me?" Yang Hongwu gazed at the Exalted Dao Defiants while he grew even more puzzled. What did the Exalted Dao Defiants mean?
"Joking?" The Exalted Dao Defiants gazed at him and said, "You're thinking too much. I've never joked. If you're too strong, then this space of mine won't be able to completely isolate your aura. At that time, my true body will be able to sense it, and once it does, it will be able to instantly traverse the barriers between the heavens and the earth. Do you think I'll still have a chance at that time?"
Yang Hongwu thought for a moment and felt that it was a fact. Moreover, if he were to become stronger, then the Exalted Dao Defiants' clone would naturally be unable to suppress him. In that way, would the Exalted Dao Defiants be able to make Yang Hongwu help him?
So, Yang Hongwu was clearly aware that the Exalt Dao Defiant's heart was like a mirror as well. If the Exalt Dao Defiant wanted Yang Hongwu to help him escape the restrictions of his main body, then Yang Hongwu had to be present.
Moreover, it was risky as well. If that strand of energy within Yang Hongwu were to erupt, then it would be an extremely huge latent danger. That was exactly why he didn't dare to force Yang Hongwu too much. Because if he forced Yang Hongwu into a corner and caused Yang Hongwu to completely release the energy within him, then the Exalted Dao Defiants would probably perish.
"Senior, must you do that?" Yang Hongwu thought for a moment and said, "There's a time when having too much freedom isn't necessarily a good thing."
"However, in my opinion, there's no hope or future without freedom. Everyone has to pursue something, and I'm just a clone right now. How sad is it to be a clone? You're unable to understand it yourself. I … don't want to be a clone forever. You'll never be able to understand all of that. Do you understand?" As he spoke these words, the Exalted Dao Defiants' voice was filled with sorrow, rage, and unwillingness.
Yang Hongwu laughed bitterly. Right, I'm not him. So, I don't know how much the Exalted Dao Defiants yearned for freedom or to become an independent individual right now. He really wanted to become a real person, a true Exalted Dao Defiant, and not just a clone.
However, it was too difficult for him to escape all of this.
Actually, he didn't know that so what if he could escape all of this? He was too insignificant before the Exalted Dao Defiants' true body.
Even if the Exalted Dao Defiants abandoned this clone, it wouldn't affect him at all. Because this clone was nothing to the Exalted Dao Defiants. It was just a strand of his thoughts, a strand of his thoughts that had formed a consciousness of its own. It could be said to be insignificant to the Exalted Dao Defiants.
However, if this clone lost the protection and support of the Exalted Dao Defiants, then he would have to face too many things, and he might not be able to endure all of them.
Ignorance is bliss. These words weren't just spoken casually, and it was actually true for many people.
If this clone of the Exalted Dao Defiants truly obtained freedom, then he would know that the truth wasn't as he'd thought. However, Yang Hongwu was clearly aware that the Exalted Dao Defiants wouldn't believe him even if he explained it clearly.
