Ji An's heart settled. At least visually, he had achieved invisibility. He could carry out his plan openly without worrying about being discovered.
He floated above the Taiyan Sect, positioned beneath the first layer of astral clouds, waiting quietly.
About five days later, he saw True Monarch Miaoyou flying upward under the escort of True Monarch Sūhuá and the others, and joy immediately surged in his heart.
He was currently over thirty li away from them. A Nascent Soul cultivator's divine sense could only probe several li, so there was no need to worry about being detected.
Following behind them, he passed through three layers of astral clouds and arrived beyond the heavens. He saw True Monarch Miaoyou speak with the other cultivators for a while before flying alone toward an even greater height.
He saw an oceanic amount of Profound Yellow Merit Qi gush from the other man's body. At that moment, countless threads of laws appeared across the sky.
These threads were about as thick as fingers, colored azure, red, yellow, white, black, and more. They were densely covered in all manner of strange symbols, seemingly a convergence of Five Elements power.
When the threads of laws appeared, Ji An sensed that the invisibility effect Stone Turtle had cast was being disrupted, so he immediately withdrew farther away.
He sighed inwardly. How difficult it was to accumulate merit, only to return it now to this heaven and earth.
When merit no longer leaked from True Monarch Miaoyou's body, the net of laws above his head spread apart, revealing a black vortex.
True Monarch Miaoyou waved toward his fellow sect members and nodded kindly. Then he abruptly raised his head and flew into the vortex without hesitation. His body subsequently appeared three li above the net of laws.
