A sharp light appeared in the eyes of the Scarlet King as he heard those words. The way the old man spoke could be considered rubbish since it was already an iron rule that dual cultivation was a dead end, but he felt the certainty in the man's words.
"Well, that is all I had to say."
The old man stood up and turned around, walking into the forest, but he threw an object before leaving the Scarlet King's sight.
The Scarlet King caught it and saw it was a starry gem, the object cultivators use to store Saint Techniques.
"It will only open once you've washed it with your Essence and Astral Wave after both paths reach the Apotheosis Realm." As those words reached the Scarlet King, the old man suddenly vanished with the current of winds.

Although the Scarlet King had absolute confidence in his skill and path, the sudden appearance of the old man and the starry gem were shocking enough for him to ask for advice from his ancient partner.
"I could not detect anything from the man even with the [A.I. Chip Module]. Whoever he is, his power and supernatural abilities are no less than a True Titan."
The Scarlet King softly nodded, and he was not surprised since not even the mightiest Apotheosis Realm Master could hide from his Ego Wave. After a moment, he looked at the starry gem, but just as expected, it was locked, and he could not access its information.
The way the old man spoke hinted that the key to dual cultivation beyond the Apotheosis Realm was inside this starry gem, but it was hard for the Scarlet King to follow a path that would drain his time and resources when there was a chance it could all be a lie.
A giant blue beast with the form of an eagle stood on the edge of a rift, gazing into the distance as it looked with its excellent eyesight for its next prey when suddenly its entire body trembled as it felt someone had just landed on its back.
The Sky-Light Eagle was a proud King Beast, and even if its battle power was average, its speed allowed it to attack enemies before they even realized it, so the fact that someone snuck up on it was a source of not only shock but also overwhelming rage.
However, as the beast turned its head to see the culprit, all the rage in its heart faded, replaced by fear. The only thing the King Beast saw were two red eyes that terrified its soul. The humanoid did not say a word and just pointed to the west.
Immediately, the Sky-Light Eagle rose to the sky and flashed in the direction at full speed.
It would have been easy for the Scarlet King to hypnotize the Early King Beast, but that could reveal his identity as a Hypnosis Master, so he chose to suppress the beast instead.
'It was easier than I thought.'
The Scarlet King could not help but remember the time he manipulated a Wave Beast resembling a bear into attacking the bandits' lair and used the same tactic. That time, he was forced to beat the beast, unlike now that he only had to look at it.
"Beasts respond better to a resolute heart and mind. Right now, yours is empty of doubt and hesitation."
Apex's voice echoed inside the mind of the Scarlet King, and a meaningful light appeared in his eyes.
"I am curious. How did you know I could harmonize with Order at such an intuitive level?"
