The Heavenly Emperor of the Central Heavens stared at the place where the dark figure had vanished, frowning in silence. After a long while, he finally spoke.
"Erasing one's presence—could it be because of a Dao Fruit of Karma?"
As far as he knew, the second Imperial Preceptor of Great Yu had possessed the rudiments of a Dao Fruit of Karma, allowing him to do something similar. Even the other demigods could not detect his whereabouts.
If the dark figure had a Dao Fruit of Karma, then everything that had just happened made sense.
"A Dao Fruit of Karma? That is indeed possible." Siming nodded, agreeing with the Heavenly Emperor of the Central Heavens. "By erasing cause and effect, one can enter and leave any place without being noticed."
"What do you plan to do?" Siming asked. The whole affair felt strange, but then again, it was rare to learn of a clue to the Dao Fruit of Time. It would be hard to justify not trying to follow it up.
The Heavenly Emperor of the Central Heavens fell silent, weighing it over for a while before finally making up his mind.
"I'll give it a try."
"Chuanwu, Qiaoqiao, have you settled in here?"
After bringing Tang Chuanwu back to Ask Dao Sect, Lu Yang had been either burning himself in body-tempering flames, caught up in the upheavals of the Great Bean Dynasty and witnessing its rise and fall, or shouldering the duties of Grand Tutor and improving the immortal maiden's precision with words. He had never found the time to visit Tang Chuanwu and his sister.
Lu Yang had arranged for the siblings to stay in an empty wooden hut at the foot of a mountain. The scenery was lovely, with clear streams and lush hills.
