A living being, a living being slumbering within time.
This living being had slept in time for who knew how many years, deceiving numerous powerful figures of the Phoenix Immortal Race, numerous powerful figures among the avian immortals, and even the True Phoenix Son!
This was truly inconceivable.
Even if the True Phoenix Son had not investigated carefully, she should have vaguely sensed it through karmic entanglements or changes in the Heavenly Dao Rules. The True Phoenix Son was united with the Heavenly Dao and far too perceptive. Not to mention an Eight Calamity Supreme, even a quasi-emperor should ordinarily have been unable to hide within her territory.
Yet such a fact had happened just like that.
"How many secrets still lie in this Endless Starry Sky, this River of Time, that I do not know of..."
Jiang Ding murmured.
Buzz!
At a thought from him, a faintly visible droplet of the Law Annihilation Membrane appeared over the chirping sparrow, forming a layer of watery film that enveloped it. It severed this sparrow, which appeared once every thousand-odd years, from the outside world, blocking the scrutiny of external karma and laws.
There was risk in this step, because it had begun to affect external matter.
However, with the True Phoenix Son using most of her Spirit Calculation Power to search and investigate the Heavenly Dao unrest throughout the True Phoenix Star Domain, the risk was slight.
If something truly went wrong, then it was fate. There was nothing more to say.
Wrapped around the sparrow, that layer of Law Annihilation Membrane broke through layer upon layer of space, rules, and karma. At last, with the extreme speed and sharpness of the Great Dao of Law Annihilation, it pierced through the very concept of time and returned to the past.
Bang!
