Yuantian

"Stupid?" Wu Yuan shook his head secretly. He felt that Taoist Master's plan was good enough and he successfully removed his identity as Taoist Master.

but.

For a being like the Taoist Master of Time and Space, we can say that the Taoist Master of Creation is stupid.

"Senior Tianxu." Wu Yuan couldn't help but said: "But I still don't quite understand. My body-refining deity will be able to control the avenue of creation. It is the life of Changhe that incorporates a ray of authority of the avenue, because at this time the origin of the avenue is not too exclusive to the life of Changhe. .”

"But I have never merged the power of the great avenue of time and space. How did you do it?" Wu Yuan was extremely confused.

The process of becoming the Taoist Master of Time and Space was simply silent.

Suddenly it became.

"Do you still remember the Changhe Temple?" The black-haired old man smiled faintly: "It is the mysterious temple where Zi Kong allowed you to merge with a trace of life mark when you succeeded as the successor of the Taoist Master."

Changhe Temple?

Wu Yuan suddenly remembered. In an instant, countless thoughts exploded in his mind, and he understood a lot.

"Could it be that the Changhe Temple is it?" Wu Yuan realized later and was shocked.

"right!"

"Every descendant of me has a chance to be resurrected in the long river life. This is the Changhe Temple." The black-haired old man smiled faintly and said: "No matter when and where you fall, as long as you are in the long river life, as long as you fall, I will Can be resurrected."

"Like the Pengshi Lord who was killed by you before, he was resurrected by me, but he never showed up again." The black-haired old man smiled and said: "You are cruel and have no regard for my kindness."

"Lord of Pengshi?" Wu Yuan smiled awkwardly.

During the battle in the void of Yuhe, Lord Pengshi followed the Saint of Immortal Court and went to the Xuanhuang Yujie, but was jointly attacked by his two deities.

Later, when he strangled many masters of the Immortal Court, he really showed no mercy and killed them directly.

Unexpectedly, the Lord of Pengshi had been resurrected by the Master of Time and Space.

"The Changhe Temple can resurrect you, but it is also an introduction." The black-haired old man smiled lightly: "I unknowingly integrated your life marks into the origin of the great avenue of time and space."

"As long as the time comes, this brand can be activated, allowing you to control the avenue of time and space more smoothly."

Wu Yuan nodded slightly, that's it.

Before you know it, the layout has been completed, instead of causing everyone to make a fuss like the Taoist Master of Creation.

I am afraid that the group of saints at the top of the endless sea of ​​​​realms all know the plan of the Taoist Master.

"I can do this because I am more powerful than the Taoist mountain people." The black-haired old man said calmly: "The master of the Tao is also the servant of the Tao. He will be bound by the Tao. I guess you also feel it."

Wu Yuan nodded slightly, yes.

Nowadays, Wu Yuan is sensing the origin of the great avenue of time and space all the time, and countless insights come to his mind, causing Wu Yuan's Qi Refining Master's own path to move forward at a terrifying speed.

This is also the reason why Wu Yuan entered the realm of true saints as soon as he began to receive the original baptism.

It can be said that even if Wu Yuan Qi Refining himself is lying down, he is expected to enter the holy level before the reincarnation of this world ends.

This is the Taoist Master!

Once you become a Taoist, you are almost destined to become a saint.

But there are advantages and disadvantages. Countless insights came to the thread and he constantly improved his own way. Not all of these insights were what Wu Yuan longed for and pursued.

It is a passive breakthrough.

Once the path has been set, it is difficult to change it. If the foundation is not laid firmly at the beginning, when the path has been deduced to the fourth step, there will be no way to start and it will be difficult to change it.

Other sages may practice step by step and deduce slowly, but they have enough time to deduce corrections, while Taoist masters do not have such an opportunity.

Therefore, the first-generation Taoist masters were not so much blazing their own path as they were spokespersons driven by the Tao.

fortunately!

Before taking charge of the Avenue of Time and Space, Wu Yuan's realm of Qi Refining was already high enough, reaching the second level of perfection, and the path he had opened was strong enough to not be completely constrained by the Avenue of Time and Space.

"Thirty-six Xuanhuang Dao Treasures, there are three in the time and space lineage, I have collected them all."

"The Xuanhuang Daobao represents a ray of original characteristics. The three Daobao treasures merge into one. In a sense, it is the origin of an alternative time and space avenue." The black-haired old man smiled and said: "I use the power of the three Xuanhuang Daobao to add When you became heirs, you were only mortal beings, so we were able to deceive the origin of the great avenue of time and space and integrate the marks of successive heirs into the depths of the origin of the great avenue."

Wu Yuan completely understood and was impressed by the methods of senior Tianxu.

Seriously plan for eternity.

"No wonder you, Senior Tianxu, and Master Shan Taoist, once unified the universe and opened up the eternal realm within the universe, but in the end they gave up everything." Wu Yuan sighed softly.

In the past, Wu Yuan was very strange. Taoist masters such as Time and Space Taoist and Creation Taoist had unified the universe. Although they were not as absolutely domineering as the Wuting Universe and the Immortal Universe, they could logically become the foundation of a great force. As long as they paid The price is higher.

Looking at it now, it's because there is no greater benefit.

Perhaps it is good for the entire force, but for the Taoist Master of Time and Space and the Taoist Master of Creation, it cannot help them break through the bottleneck.

"Senior Tianxu, doesn't the spirit of the Samsara Sword mean that you can't mobilize its power?" Wu Yuan asked doubtfully.

"What does it know?" The black-haired old man smiled faintly: "What it knows is up to me."

"It has been under my observation. I just didn't want you to know too much at that time, so naturally it doesn't know too much."

Wu Yuan was speechless.

Sure enough, no matter how powerful the weapon spirit is, it cannot compete with the real Taoist master.

"Of course, these are just preparations." The black-haired old man smiled lightly: "If I really want to step down as a Taoist master, the most important thing is to select a powerful enough successor."

"After all, I want to get rid of my identity as Taoist Master, but I don't want this identity to become the new Taoist Master of Time and Space."

"only!"

"If you want to be free from restraints, you must open up a top path. If the Taoist master wants to open up a top path, he must open a path along the long river... This is the myth of the long river." The black-haired old man said with emotion: "The mythical people of the long river are rare after all. , and I must look for it in the Lingjiang Universe, after all, my eternal realm is in the Lingjiang Universe."

"It's all about luck. That's why Time and Space Island recruits geniuses from all sides."

Wu Yuan sighed secretly, everything can be explained.

It is indeed difficult to find a Changhe Mythologist, and even Tao Masters dare not say that they can be cultivated.

"In the end, I waited for you." The black-haired old man looked at Wu Yuan: "Your rise is due to chance, luck, the help and guidance of Hou Tu and the Immortal True Sage, as well as your own efforts."

"But no matter what, you succeeded and became my successor."

"Then it became even more dazzling. Ever since you, the Qi Refiner, opened your own path, I have been waiting for you to prove it." The black-haired old man said: "The moment you have to prove it, you can become the master of time and space."

"Follow the trend?" Wu Yuan was stunned.

"Because I have been in charge of the Tao since I am alive. How can you become the Taoist Master of Time and Space?" The black-haired old man smiled and said: "The Taoist Mountain Master chose to commit suicide when he wanted to get rid of his identity as Taoist Master, so I said he was stupid."

"Fell, even if it is a suspended animation, but during the process of silence, you can't control the situation. You can't decide the future successor, you can only wait passively."

"And I control it personally."

"The reason why I chose the moment of enlightenment is because when I realize eternity, the original rules come to congratulate me. At that moment, your power is superior to the origin of the avenue."

"At this time, I will activate a trace of the mark you left deep in the origin of the avenue, and use the original power to suppress the fluctuations of the avenue, so that you can successfully merge without knowing it, and I can successfully escape, truly free and at ease." The black-haired old man Smiled.

Wu Yuan suddenly realized, using the power of the original rules at the moment of enlightenment? This idea is unique.

Ordinary people only think that the masters of the universe can use this to steal immortality.

But Senior Tianxu thought of ‘Taoist Stealing Heaven’.

"Master of the Dao of Time and Space." Wu Yuan could not calm down at this moment. Now, the two great deities will be in charge of the Dao.

It's incredible.

Not, I'm afraid, since the beginning.

"Senior Tianxu, are your goals the same as Master Shan Taoist?" Wu Yuan couldn't help but ask.

"Hahaha."

The black-haired old man showed an incomprehensible smile: "Part of the reason is the same as the Taoist mountain people. After talking to you this time, I will quickly re-enter reincarnation and cultivate again. In this life, I will definitely open up a top path."

"However, my purpose is more than that."

"More than that?" Wu Yuan's pupils narrowed.

"There are some things that you will know when you are stronger. I can only tell you that they are related to the Zuta." The black-haired old man said calmly.

"Ancestral Tower?" Wu Yuan became more and more shocked.

Wu Yuan has always been full of awe in his heart towards the Ancestral Pagoda. The three supreme divine objects are extremely terrifying.

Among the many classics of the witch court, the three supreme divine objects are above the Xuanhuang Daobao, coexisting with the original, and even affecting the operation of the original rules, but they are not controlled by anyone.

"In the future, when your Qi Refining Master reaches the Holy Level, you will naturally know about it." The black-haired old man said, "Of course, I should have returned from cultivation by then...I will tell you everything."

Wu Yuan nodded slightly, but felt inexplicably shocked in his heart.

Compared with the layout of the Taoist Master of Time and Space, the methods of the Taoist Master of Creation are indeed crude.

"Okay, that's all I'll say." The black-haired old man smiled and said: "Actually, from the moment you become the new master of time and space, the way you go in the future depends entirely on you. I just hope you don't blame me. "

"Of course this junior won't." Wu Yuan shook his head.

The identity of Taoist Master is both a constraint and a help. He has already opened up his own top path, and being able to become the Taoist Master of Time and Space naturally has more advantages than disadvantages.

"You have two great deities, both of whom are the Changhe Mythologists."

"Among them, the body-refining deity is more evil, his own way is more terrifying, and now they will all become Tao masters." The black-haired old man said with emotion: "I have never dared to think of such an achievement."

"To think of it, Taoist Laishan, Houtu Ancestral Witch, and even Empress Nuwa dare not imagine that such a peerless monster could be born in the endless sea."

Wu Yuan was speechless.

Senior Tianxu boasted too much.

"You are destined to stand at the pinnacle of the Holy Saint and reach the level of Nuwa Houtu. It is only a matter of time." The black-haired old man looked at Wu Yuan: "Even if your body-refining deity still lacks the Xuanhuang Taoist treasure, as a Taoist master , you will get at least one Xuanhuang Dao Treasure, this is an iron rule."

"Tao Master, will you get at least one Xuanhuang Dao Treasure?" Wu Yuan was slightly surprised.

"right."

"This is fate. If not, why would you praise the Taoist Master?" The black-haired old man smiled faintly: "Of course, the premise is that all the three mysterious and yellow Taoist treasures of the Creation lineage have not yet been born. If they have all been born, just pretend that I didn't say anything."

Wu Yuan was speechless.

Senior Tianxu is interesting.

"As far as I know, there should be one more of the three mysterious and yellow treasures of the Creation lineage that has not yet been born."

"In what form and when this Xuanhuang Dao Treasure will fall into your hands, I don't know, and it's difficult to deduce." The black-haired old man said: "Of course, it will definitely not appear in front of you out of thin air. When the opportunity comes, as long as you give it your best, you should have no worries.”

"Junior understands." Wu Yuan nodded heavily.

God will help those who help themselves. If you really believe that Xuanhuang Dao Bao will fall from the sky, you are a fool.

Senior Tianxu made it very clear that in the future, under the operation of the original rules, the body refining deity, as the master of creation, should encounter a great opportunity.

If you catch it, you can get the Xuanhuang Dao Bao.

If you can't catch it, you can only blame yourself.

"Enough." Wu Yuan muttered secretly: "There are no less than a hundred saints in the sea of ​​​​regions, and most of them do not have Xuanhuang Dao Bao. Is it because they are not strong enough? No! There is no chance."

Luck is sometimes much more important than strength.

There is no doubt that as a Taoist master, his luck is top-notch and he is favored by fate.

"I'm not worried about you reaching the pinnacle of the Holy Saint."

"It's just that you still can't relax." The black-haired old man looked at Wu Yuan: "You should understand what Houtu Zuwu and I expect of you."

expect? Wu Yuan was stunned.

"I have communicated with Houtu Zuwu many times. Ever since your two great deities cleared the river, she and I have determined that you have the hope of becoming a deity." The black-haired old man said with a smile.

Tianzun? Wu Yuan held his breath.

For the first time, someone told me that there was hope of becoming a deity.

Moreover, the opponents are the mysterious and powerful Taoist Master of Time and Space, and the Houtu Ancestral Witch who stands at the top of the sea.

"Five steps of eternity, named Heavenly Lord, is the desire of countless saints." The black-haired old man's eyes brightened: "If we can cultivate a Heavenly Lord, everything will be worry-free."

"I look forward to the day when the name of 'Yuan Tianzun' will be spread throughout the entire sea."

Wu Yuan listened silently.

Yuan Tianzun? It's far away, it's far away, it's close when it's near.

It would be a lie to say that Wu Yuan didn't have any desire in his heart.

Especially in Qing Sheng's Tomb, Wu Yuan had already developed ambitions after knowing a little about the deeds of Qing Sheng and Yuan Sheng.

Ambition is not a bad thing.

Only when you have motivation can you keep climbing towards higher peaks.

"However, you are not without opponents." The black-haired old man said solemnly: "Emperor of Heaven! Jin Yi."

"Jin Yi?" Wu Yuan's eyes burst into light.

I remembered the young Emperor of Heaven whom I had seen on the ancient road of Changhe River. He was so sharp and sharp.

The sentence "It's easy to break, but it's not strong enough" deeply touched Wu Yuan.

This is indeed a very heaven-defying existence.

"Looking at the entire sea of ​​​​the territory, if we say that among the many saints, who has the most hope of taking the fifth step on his own path, it is the Emperor of Heaven." The black-haired old man said slowly: "He is indeed an outstanding person."

"The Emperor of Heaven was originally a human race, but it's a pity..." The black-haired old man shook his head slightly.

"The Emperor of Heaven is actually a human race?" Wu Yuan was shocked.

This is definitely a secret. It should be noted that from Wu Yuan's perspective, the entire Immortal Court gathers all races, and strong men of all races can be found in it, and there are also many innate eternal beings.

The Wuting Court takes the human race as its absolute core, and then absorbs powerful people from all races.

As for Immortal Court, there is no absolute core ethnic group or faction. It is a very tolerant force, and there are also strong human beings among them.

In the many classics that Wu Yuan read, there was no mention of the race of the Emperor of Heaven.

I never thought that it would be a human race.

"The Emperor of Heaven established the Immortal Court and made a great wish and oath on the highest holy land of the universe, the 'Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain' - that all races will be united and all living beings will be like dragons." The black-haired old man said with emotion: "Many reincarnations of heaven and earth, He has always practiced this, and he is indeed an amazing hero."

Wu Yuan nodded slightly.

Judging from the many classics I have obtained, it is indeed the case. The name of the Emperor of Heaven spans ancient and modern times, and there is no need to slander him even if he is an enemy.

It is the kingly way to look at the opponent's strength calmly.

"But the thoughts of the Witch Court are not wrong." The black-haired old man said with a smile: "The human race is indeed the most outstanding among all races. Strong men of the human race emerge in large numbers. It is common sense to want to strengthen the human race."

"You have been favored by the witch court, and you should repay it to the witch court."

"Like the Emperor of Heaven, he is willing to make such a big oath. In a sense, he is repaying the kindness of raising him." The black-haired old man said.

Wu Yuan listened silently.

To repay the kindness of raising someone? It seems that Senior Tianxu knows the past of Emperor Tian very well.

"Like me, I also prefer the human race and would like to be on good terms with the Witch Court." The black-haired old man smiled and said: "In the beginning, I was also... haha, the past is the past."

"That's all."

"When your Eternal Heart evolves and you open up the Holy World, you should be able to sense where the Samsara Sword is and just go get it yourself." The black-haired old man smiled and said: "As for the Blood Dream Alliance? You can use some of its power, but Don’t trust it all.”

"The Blood Emperor and the Dream Emperor each have their own plans."

"Junior, take note." Wu Yuan nodded.

call!

The figure of the black-haired old man slowly dispersed. At this point, all traces he left in the origin of the avenue of time and space have been erased.

"Am I the only one left here?" Wu Yuan's consciousness sensed the origin of the boundless avenue of time and space.

The vastness! Endless power!

"Tianxu?"

"Why do you prefer the human race?" Wu Yuan shook his head slightly: "What is the ultimate goal of Senior Tianxu?"

Somehow, Wu Yuan had a hunch that Senior Tianxu's purpose might be very special.

"It doesn't matter."

"Soldiers have come to block water and earth to cover up. Now that I am the master of time and space, what should I be afraid of? And I will soon get the Samsara Sword." Wu Yuan felt calm in his heart.

Although he said that becoming the Taoist Master of Time and Space was designed by Senior Tianxu, he never told himself.

But Wu Yuan was very grateful to Senior Tianxu.

Discuss the deeds but not the heart.

No matter what the other party's purpose is, so far, I have received too much help from the other party and almost nothing in return.

"The evolution of the Eternal Heart is estimated to take millions of years."

"After a million years, the Qi Refining Lord will directly open up the Yunei Holy World." Wu Yuan made a decision: "However, for at least 100 million years, I, the Qi Refining Lord, will be considered to have received the original baptism."

"In these hundreds of millions of years, we have still focused on practicing and deducing with all our strength."

"After 100 million years, use the Xuanhuang Source to cultivate the Eternal Heart with all the Dharma Body, and then set out together to the sea to retrieve the Sword of Samsara." Wu Yuan has already thought through the next path. .

The two great deities will not leave the universe unless necessary.

Rumble~

Time has passed, hundreds, thousands, ten thousand years... Wu Yuan Qi Refining Lord has been practicing in seclusion.

His body continues to transform.

In the Lingjiang universe, Wu Yuan has long been invincible. Even if the Emperor of Heaven appears, he cannot hurt Wu Yuan.

Therefore, Wu Yuan was not worried at all.

The body of the eternal strong man is divided into the eternal legal body, the eternal holy body, the eternal divine body, and the black and yellow body.

Like the true saints, even if they don't understand the way of matter, they can all cultivate the eternal holy body, and their bodies are comparable to the masters of matter.

This is the most basic power of a true saint, and Wu Yuan is no exception.

Of course, the strength of the body, unless it is cultivated into an eternal divine body, is not important to the true saints.

"The world of the heart." Wu Yuan felt the vast space and time opened up in the eternal heart.

Endless vastness.

Countless micro-universes are being born in the world of the heart, endless voids are being generated, and there is an extremely stable main continent... This is simply a holy world.

In the world of the heart, there are even miniature time and space rivers and miniature virtual realms of destiny.

"It is still in the process of evolution. When the transformation of the world in the heart is completed, it will be reflected to the outside world and form a holy world." Wu Yuan sighed secretly.

The Holy World is essentially a shrunken Yuhe.

At that time, it will become the source of power of Wu Yuan Qi Refining Lord, and will continue to transmit the powerful power contained in the origin of the Holy World to the Eternal Heart through the special connection between the Holy World and the Eternal Heart.

…

Lingjiang Universe.

Buzz~ The terrifying pressure that spreads for hundreds of billions of light years is still continuing.

For more than 300,000 years, such a strange sight has made the Lingjiang Universe Master and even countless long-river beings no longer surprised.

Three hundred thousand years, for ordinary life, has changed countless generations.

But for those who live in the long river, it is very short.

call!

A figure in black robes is flying in the void of Qingling Great Realm, his eyes can easily see everything.

beside him.

It was a figure in white robes, with a holy and vast aura, exuding the brilliance of motherhood.

"Wu Yuan, are you ready to go to Longshan Universe?" Hou Tu Zuwu's incarnation said with a smile.

"Um."

"After hundreds of thousands of years, the Qi Refining Lord has been completely stable, the Eternal Holy Body has been cultivated to perfection, and the Immortal Courtyard has been completely silent." Wu Yuan nodded and said: "There is no need for me to guard the Body Refining Lord here."

"So, I decided to go to Longshan Universe to let the body-refining deity attain enlightenment."

"Yes, yes." Houtu Zuwu couldn't help but smile: "So, next time I see you, I should call you the Taoist Master of Creation."

Wu Yuan couldn't help but smile.

"You are already the Taoist Master of Time and Space. If you become the Taoist Master of Creation again, it will be a blessing to our witch court." Hou Tuzu Wu sighed: "In the future, it shouldn't be difficult for you to surpass me."

"I'm not absolutely sure about the five steps of eternity." Wu Yuan shook his head.

"Who can say for sure?" Hou Tu Zuwu joked: "Who could have thought that the young man who left the city would be the master of two great avenues in less than a million years?"

Wu Yuan was speechless, with a hint of sadness in his heart.

indeed!

From the young man who left the city back then, to today, he is almost at the peak even in the sea of ​​​​the territory. Looking back, it is indeed a dream.

"Go ahead."

"I have ordered Wanxuan True Sage to summon the true saints from all corners of the Longshan universe." Houtu Zuwu smiled lightly and said, "I'm just waiting for you to go."

"remember."

"If you can avoid taking action, try not to take action. There is no need to create too much grudge." Hou Tuzu Wu warned.

"I understand." Wu Yuan nodded.

On the same day, Wu Yuan's body-refining deity took the source body and left Lingjiang Universe quietly.

...just one day later.

Longshan Universe.

"He's back again." Wu Yuan's body-refining deity was walking in the void, feeling the breath of Longshan Universe.

Back then, he also struggled in the Longshan Universe and earned his name as the Master of Body Refining.

Millions of years have passed in the blink of an eye.

Such years are very short for the entire universe.

"The world of creation." Wu Yuan's eyes swept across the dark void, and he vaguely sensed the depths of the universe. Everything contained in that huge eternal world had a vague sense of calling.

That is the call from the authority of the Great Way of Creation.

"Soon." Wu Yuan murmured to himself: "Don't worry, soon, I will be the Taoist Master of Creation."

call!

Wu Yuan did not stop and rushed towards the void about 60 billion light years away from Wuting Longshan Holy Land headquarters.

It's dark, vast and empty here.

There are no stars, no light, not even a little bit of matter. It can be said that in the mouths of countless long-term creatures in Longshan Universe, this vast starry sky is a desperate and dangerous place.

but.

For a long time, the true saints behind the holy places in the Longshan Universe would all be here if they had any major matters to discuss.

There is no other reason.

This is the weakest point in the Longshan Universe Yuhe Void, and it is the safest for the true saints.

And today.

In this void, a series of eternal thoughts are gathered here, condensing to form a series of incarnation shadows.

Although they are incarnations, their auras are still impressive, either evil and unpredictable, like an iceberg, or extremely domineering.

A total of ten true saints have their incarnations projected here, each occupying a void.

"Wanxuan!"

"This time, you said that there was something important to do to summon us. Now that most of us are gathered here, it's time to say something."

"Yes, what's the matter? We've been waiting for a long time." One of the true saints spoke with a hint of impatience.

Don't blame them for that.

It was really too annoying for Wanxuan Zhensheng to call them over, but he just kept beating them up, saying "hurry up, hurry up".

This wait lasted most of the day.

"Wanxuan, we are just projections. Even if you have any conspiracy, there is nothing you can do against us." A figure in blood robe said coldly: "If you don't say anything, I will leave."

"Haha, don't leave, don't leave, we'll be here soon." Zhensheng Wanxuan chuckled and said, "Besides, Yuhu, you are the protagonist this time."

"Me?" Zhenhu Zhensheng suddenly showed a hint of vigilance.

He was the supreme leader of Xianting Longshan Holy Land, and he had fought against True Saint Wanxuan more than once.

"Could it be that you two holy places are going to war?" The extremely enchanting True Saint Yaoyue said with a smile.

The other true saints also showed curiosity.

It is true that the Immortal Court and the Witch Court are at odds with each other, but in the universe, the true saints cannot do anything to each other, but are more peaceful.

The so-called war in the Holy Land is about monarchs fighting and killing each other, and it has no impact on the true saint.

"You will know later." Zhensheng Wanxuan said with a smile, and suddenly his eyes lit up: "Okay, the rightful master is here."

"The rightful owner?"

"Who?" The other true saints were stunned at first, then they all noticed and turned to look.

Buzz~

Time and space rippled slightly, and a black-robed figure appeared in the void. Although it was a long river of life, its sharpness and aura made the hearts of all the saints present feel silent.

"Wu Yuan?"

"What? Wu Yuan is here? Judging from the aura, this is at least the source body." In an instant, the faces of the group of true saints present changed, and they were both shocked and confused.

They naturally knew Wu Yuan's reputation.

But this is Longshan Universe.

Only Zhenhu Zhensheng’s eyes flashed and he seemed to understand something.
