"He was actually at the Nirvana Stage? How had he advanced so quickly?"
Gray-White Old Hou's expression changed drastically. In his perception, Lin Xuan had suddenly erupted with an aura entirely unlike the Death Stage he had expected.
As a Near Dao Earth Immortal, Gray-White Old Hou felt his entire worldview overturned.
The Transcendent Realm meant weathering tribulations. Every step forward was incomparably difficult, especially the leaps between the four minor realms, whose difficulty multiplied with each crossing.
Even someone with boundless potential like their clan's Imperial Seed, Mi Luo Xiu, had spent years and consumed immense resources to cross from the Death Stage into Nirvana.
But what about Lin Xuan?
The last intelligence had placed him in the Dark Sky Forbidden Land. Back then, he seemed to have only just broken through to the peak of the Death Stage, hadn't he?
And how long had it been since then?
If Lin Xuan had been the one who slew those prodigies before, then he should not have had time to settle down and cultivate.
Yet Lin Xuan had already shattered the threshold of Nirvana and stood firmly within the Nirvana Stage. It was simply horrifying beyond measure.
Gray-White Old Hou's expression was exceedingly complicated, all kinds of emotions tangling in his mind.
In the end, he forcibly calmed himself and fiercely suppressed the shock in his heart.
"Hmph..."
"So what if he has reached Nirvana? The one he faces is Wu Qiong."
"Ling Pianran, don't even think of rescuing him!"
Gray-White Old Hou snorted coldly, then hardened his resolve and barely raised the intensity of his attacks.
Clearly, from beginning to end, he believed Wu Qiong would be able to take Lin Xuan down.
Ling Pianran ignored him. She was somewhat worried, and her perception had never left the place
