The trace of a True Purity Realm cultivator—or rather, their Karma.

Ever since the Fallen Immortal Tribulation struck Tianji Continent, the heavens and earth of this realm had been unable to bear the presence of a True Purity Realm cultivator.

Back then, Fusheng Immortal Venerable—or rather, Fusheng True Lord—had barely touched the threshold of the True Purity Realm over seventy thousand years ago before "that existence" beyond the heavens fixed its gaze on him.

Forcing one's way into sagehood would bring about the Mysterious Woman's descent.

And every time a Sage's Karma manifested in Chenping Continent, the Mysterious Woman descended directly into the world.

The Chaos of Immortals, however, had not brought her down. It seemed the "commotion" caused by those Ascension Realm cultivators had not been enough to draw the attention of "that existence."

And then came the present.

True Person Xuzhou had charged straight into the Space-time Fault beyond the heavens, drawing the attention of the Mysterious Woman Statue—or "that existence."

Only then did they finally notice what they had long overlooked: the enormous rift torn across the skies of Chenping Continent, stretching hundreds of thousands of miles.

That was what had brought about the Mysterious Woman's descent.

If he could conceal everything as thoroughly as possible and try to deceive whatever was watching from beyond the heavens...

"Mister You, leave this to me alone."

Chen Yan gazed at the seven-colored golden light slowly emerging beyond the heavens and spoke in a low voice.

Mister You looked at the young man's back, at the plain white Daoist robe snapping in the fierce wind above Wanfa Platform, and slowly said:

"I hadn't intended to tell you."

"What?"

Chen Yan asked.

"A hundred years ago, here on Wanfa Platform, I glimpsed a Death Omen on your face."

Mister You continued.
