The Heavenly Emperor had almost tearfully, resentfully rejected the olive branch Chu Sheng had offered him. Then he turned and returned to the depths of the [Heavenly Palace].
Chu Sheng was left staring in stunned disbelief.
Why?
He had seen it clearly: the sacred sect aura about the Heavenly Emperor could not be mistaken. Since that was the case, there was no reason for him to reject the benefits Chu Sheng had offered.
First the World Honored One, then the Heavenly Emperor—his once-unfailing methods had hit a wall twice in succession. A shadow gradually gathered between Chu Sheng's brows. He hated people who refused to play by "common sense," who acted solely on the passions in their hearts, because such people were impossible to define.
Forget it.
Someone capable of changing Huanyao and Wanbao without anyone noticing, even if it was only a single thought-consciousness, would not be strange for having something special about them. There were always people like that in this world.
Even at this point,
Chu Sheng had never considered the possibility that the Heavenly Emperor simply could not understand the [Seven Emotions Reaching Heaven Art]. His subconscious had ruled it out from the start.
After all, such a vast [Heavenly Palace] stood within Void Darkness. To create such a place of Attaining Enlightenment, Wisdom Light and comprehension were essential qualifications. And someone capable of such a thing—even if their talent were poor, how poor could it possibly be? Could they really fail to understand a mere Primordial Spirit Method?
Impossible. Absolutely impossible!
Having directly dismissed that possibility, all his subsequent conjectures naturally became unreasonable no matter how he considered them, and his judgment of the Heavenly Emperor went completely astray.
Gathering his thoughts, Chu Sheng came up with two plans.
First, continue advancing Spirit Transformation Ascension.
