The agreement was naturally one reason.
The second was that Taiyi could not hold on for much longer, and he had sent a voice transmission.
The power wielded by a cultivator at the peak of Nascent Soul had already affected heaven and earth. Naturally, the mana expended was beyond comparison with that of the late stage.
