"Mm!"
Xuanming nodded and glanced at Zhen Yuanzi and Minghe.
To be honest, she was rather surprised to see Zhen Yuanzi.
By all rights, he should not have come here, yet here he was, having made it all the way to this place. It was certainly an unexpected development.
But compared with her surprise,
Zhen Yuanzi and the others were even more astonished by Xuanming's appearance.
After all, she was the representative of the Earthly Dao.
She was about to become an existence on the level of the Earthly Dao's Dao Ancestor, yet she had simply appeared here, fresh as a daisy, without the slightest obstruction. It defied all reason and left them feeling a trace of disbelief.
Very soon, however, they guessed why Xuanming had come.
Barring any surprises, she had most likely come to resolve the issues involved, or even to experience the pressure of standing tall between heaven and earth for herself.
At that thought, they could not help but sigh inwardly.
After all, she would soon become an existence on the level of a Dao Ancestor, yet she still wanted to improve herself as much as possible. That was truly unexpected and difficult to accept.
Still, with matters having reached this point, they understood one thing very clearly.
Some of the information and matters involved were beyond their ability to participate in, or even to learn about.
Under these circumstances, Xuanming asked, "How much have you two fellow Daoists gained?"
At her words, Minghe and Zhen Yuanzi exchanged a glance.
Then both shook their heads.
Minghe had not yet begun, and neither had Zhen Yuanzi.
In fact, Zhen Yuanzi had arrived late to this affair, and under these circumstances, he was not even qualified to enter.
Ultimately, he had come here merely to hitch a ride
