Drawing fire was a relative matter.
While you helped me draw fire, I was also helping you draw fire. The difference lay in the balance—who could grasp it better.
Just like now.
If that little beast steps forward to draw fire for me, then I win big, because I'm not yet ready for the final leap.
He was only standing at the very edge of the Empty Attainment Great Dao and had yet to jump. If the other party appeared under such circumstances and drew the Dao Lord's gaze away, he could calmly arrange the timing of his leap and seize the instant when the Dao Lord's power to interfere with him was at its weakest to complete the final leap.
Likewise.
If he keeps his nerve and never shows himself, then I'll be the one drawing fire for him, and the result will instead fulfill his Dharma Body Path.
As Sky Soaring pondered, he felt nervous for the first time in a long while.
What will you choose?
I have already refined away the Great Forest Wood. You should be able to notice that the Perception Barrier has vanished and guess that I'm at the crucial point of charging toward the Nascent Soul.
Will you lose your nerve?
Deep within the Netherworld, Sky Soaring could no longer see the Real World. He could only judge its situation through his sense of the Dao Lord's gaze in the unseen depths.
If the Dao Lord's gaze was drawn away, it meant that little beast had definitely emerged, and he would immediately begin his leap. But if the Dao Lord's gaze remained lofty and unmoving, still pressing down on him like a mountain, then it meant the other party was steady enough to know that he still had strength in reserve.
