Daoist Chongxing wore a narrow-sleeved combat Daoist robe, with metal plates embedded at his waist and the vital points of his limbs, each bearing defensive formations. The glow of those formations made him seem like some illusory being beneath the interwoven black-and-white light.
Facing Wang Ping's questioning gaze, Daoist Chongxing maintained his openhearted smile and said, "In recent years, all of outer space has been talking about what happened on the Central Continent. The True Lords truly made a grand move. With a wave of their hands, they destroyed the plans countless people had spent centuries, even millennia, laying. They truly treated us as ants."
He laughed. "The measures Yuxiao arranged ultimately failed. They do not care about so-called civilization at all, nor will order and civilization bind their hands and feet. Only greater power can restrain them, but once we possess such power, we will become one of them as well. In the end... this is still an unsolvable problem."
As he spoke, a mass of unknown energy exploded beneath the distant starry sky, sending out a circle of ripples visible to the naked eye. That was a leak of extraterritorial energy.
"Recently, extraterritorial creatures have been exceptionally active. The bait we set beneath the stars attracts their visits almost every ten shichen."
Daoist Chongxing's gaze was profound. As his eyes met Wang Ping's, he exhaled a breath of turbid air and continued, "We came here in the Dao Palace's name, yet the Dao Palace now exists in name only, while we remain bound by its restraints. I originally thought Yuanwu wanted to claim Taiyan Sect's Fourth Realm slot. Now, it seems I was mistaken. This matter is far more complicated than I imagined."
Wang Ping's heart stirred, and he followed up, "Did Fellow Daoist discover something?"
