That was right. Entering the State of Forgetting Oneself was something every cultivator dreamed of, but it was the sort of thing that could only be chanced upon, never sought. So naturally, the others—especially the Sky-Piercer—wouldn't rashly wake Ling Tian. At a time like this, they could completely disregard the thousand-year agreement they had discussed earlier.
