Above Purple Robe was Great Red Robe.
At the Nirvana Dao headquarters, only 120,000 mountains could bear Great Red Robes.
And that also meant the entire Nirvana Dao had only 120,000 experts who surpassed true disciples.
Every one of these experts wielded some measure of authority.
Perhaps one portion, perhaps ten portions, perhaps one-tenth of a portion.
And the amount of authority determined the strength of the Great Red Robes.
This Great Red Robe before them wielded 0.5 portions of authority.

The gap in their strength was truly as vast as Heaven and earth.
The reason Great Red Robe 0.5's expression changed so drastically was entirely because—
Though he had erased those ashes—
The power of the ashes had actually followed the method he had just used and begun eroding his eyes bit by bit.

If creatures of the Nirvana Dao like Purple Robes and Black Robes saw this erosion, they would only think it formidable.
But they would have no idea what made it formidable, merely assuming Chu Qing's cultivation art was powerful.
Yet he, who wielded 0.5 portions of authority, knew that the erosion of these
