As Bai Yang pondered, figures flickered around him. Lan Xin and the others had all rushed over.
The commotion here had been so great that they'd noticed it right away. But seeing that Bai Yang seemed to be cultivating, they hadn't come over to disturb him. Instead, they'd proactively stood guard for him. When it looked as though Bai Yang had finished cultivating, they came over at once.
"Brother Bai, are you all right?" Lan Xin asked with concern.
Bai Yang shook his head. "I'm fine. Better than ever. Sorry for worrying you."
Having gained the favor of the Purification Rule and opened a second Dao Palace in his Dao Palace world, his cultivation had grown by a great deal. Bai Yang had never been in better shape.
"Brother Bai, were you comprehending some kind of rule just now?" Jiang Nan asked curiously.
They'd all seen the scene earlier, when Bai Yang drew in vital energy and turned it into runes. But as Martial Path cultivators, they generally couldn't sense the rules of heaven and earth, except when an enemy divine path cultivator used their power during a fight. The Purification Rule was one of the Three Thousand Supreme Rules, and its level was so high that they were even less able to sense it.
The Purification Rule had stood in the heavens moments earlier, yet they hadn't been able to feel it. That was why Jiang Nan had asked.
"That's right. I gained a little insight and comprehended a new Purification Rule. I've gained another ability, but I'm not familiar with it yet," Bai Yang replied with a nod.
There was no reason he couldn't say so. It wasn't anything shameful. Of course, Bai Yang didn't tell them everything, only giving a vague outline of what had happened.
"Congratulations,"
