Ancient Divine Continent, Purple Firmament Palace.
Chu Sheng stood with his hands behind his back, his cold eyes carrying an aloof indifference as though he overlooked all living beings. Yet beneath that indifference, he seemed to be constantly calculating something.
Suddenly, he spoke in an even tone:
"It's been exposed."
The consciousness within the Divine Fortune Book of Fate and the ancestors of the Name and Form Teachings behind Chu Sheng were both taken aback. Exposed? What had been exposed?
Chu Sheng shook his head. "Lu Xian, that Dao Venerable's child has hidden himself deep within the Purple Firmament Palace. After all, this is a Spirit Transformation residence; there are places even we cannot interfere with. But that was part of the plan. We could use his hand to draw all the Dao Ancestors to the Purple Firmament Palace, then sweep them all into the net."
"But now, some people's reactions are wrong."
At this point, Chu Sheng pointed in Lu Yang's direction. There, the group led by Lu Yang showed no signs of acting whatsoever.
"They're too calm."
Chu Sheng swept his gaze around, his Dharma Eye blazing like a torch. "The Primordial Spirit auras of the other Dao Ancestors have all fluctuated. They're watching this place. Yet they have made no move."
"That means my intentions have been exposed."
"If nothing goes wrong, they will soon notify the other Dao Ancestors. Unfortunately, the plan to catch them all in one net can no longer be carried out."
As if confirming Chu Sheng's words, the auras that had been stirring restlessly and faintly rushing toward the Purple Firmament Palace suddenly froze. They then fell silent again, yet vaguely encircled the palace layer upon layer, glaring at it like tigers eyeing prey, their gazes filled with scrutiny and speculation.
"...Interesting."
