When I put it that way, the Right Spirit King immediately grew displeased. "What kind of reasoning is that, God-Hidden One? It's only right that we uninvolved parties don't watch, but if you open this divine tree and the Sect Master can't watch from beginning to end, then who will know how you solved it?
