The entrance was gone. The Heavenly Dao Arena must have been cut off too. That meant my performance in these lower ruins was temporarily meaningless! Li Tianming realized.
He had originally wanted to seize this chance to make his name completely known throughout the major fortune-class worlds of the Upper Star Ruins, to let all Yanhuang descendants know of his existence!
Now, it seemed to have been forcibly interrupted as well.
"I still need to find Mu Shanxue and get this straight."
With that thought, Li Tianming left the Ancestral Realm Netherboat and had Silver Dust contact Mu Shanxue.
Clearly, Mu Shanxue knew he would come. She had even left the door open for him.
The moment Li Tianming entered their Ancestral Realm, Mu Shanxue stood in a corner with her arms folded, looking at this fellow who was nearly "eye-level" with her now. "Ask whatever you want. Just get to it."
He remembered that when they first met, Li Tianming had still been a little man before her.
Thus, she had watched his progress every step of the way. Everything behind her surely saw it too and knew full well what it meant.
Since she was so straightforward, Li Tianming did not beat around the bush either. Opening his heart, he asked just as directly, "First question: you were the ones who opened the entrance between the upper and lower ruins from the very beginning? You can open and close it whenever you want?"
"That's right." Mu Shanxue smiled. "Otherwise, why would an entrance appear out of thin air? And why would it connect the lands of the Primeval Eternal Sands that the Eight Gods wanted most to seize? It was obviously meant to lure them in."
"So that was it. You hid it from me well!" Li Tianming
