The White Little Person was about the same size as Silver Fairy, but he had the face of a white-haired, white-bearded old man and an ethereal, transcendent air.
Without a doubt, this little old man was the artifact spirit of the Tianyan Instrument!
"The Tianyan Instrument actually has a spirit! Why didn't you show yourself earlier? Why didn't you strike and destroy that Golden Mountain Rat?"
You Wangxing was immediately shocked. They had encountered danger time and again before this, yet the Tianyan Instrument had shown no reaction whatsoever.
Only after following its deductions to this place had they received the protection of a Restriction.
Thus, You Wangxing had always believed that the Tianyan Instrument had no artifact spirit, and that all its responses had been arrangements left behind by the Tianyan Temple Master.
But the current situation was obvious. It was not that the Tianyan Instrument lacked an artifact spirit; it simply had been unwilling to help!
Yet faced with You Wangxing's questioning, the little old man showed no intention of responding.
"Little friend, there is no need to waste your effort. The Tianyan Instrument's artifact spirit is an incarnation of the Heavenly Dao, and the Heavenly Dao is impartial above all else—and also the most heartless. Unless a calamity capable of affecting the entire Immortal World emerges, he will not intervene in any way."
After seeing through the little old man's origins, Luo Hong knew that he was the most useless sort of artifact spirit. Unless certain circumstances arose, he was practically no different from nonexistent.
"What is the situation with my disciple now?"
Turning around, Luo Hong looked at the little old man and asked.
"This woman is a Son of Destiny and will become the next Tianyan Temple Master. She is currently cultivating within Tianyan Space.
