Bao Qiong's request for aid had been passed by Lang Zhuan to Yuanshi. He believed you were in the Three Pure Heavens... It was hardly strange for him to think so, since when you first changed your appearance and entered the Chaotic Five Elements Domain, Lingbao Immortal Emperor had accompanied you. With Bao Qiong's abilities, it was not difficult for him to learn whether Lingbao Immortal Emperor was dead. Though the Dao Sect had protected the news well, without your ability to prevent divination, they could not keep it hidden from Bao Qiong.
Since Lingbao Immortal Emperor could be resurrected, Bao Qiong naturally believed it was your doing, and naturally tied him closely to you. Not long after you and Bao Qiong had dealt with Shen Tu together, Yuanshi had seemed to receive word and wished to establish contact with Xuanqiong. It was difficult for that not to cement his original belief—that the person behind the Dao Sect was you.
It was no surprise that Bao Qiong had misunderstood you this way. It could even be said that you had done so deliberately. Still, you had Yuanshi send back word, saying that the person they sought had entered an important period of secluded cultivation and could not be disturbed for the time being...
In the 33,536,958th year, when the heavenly omen appeared once more, the myriad rosy clouds over Myriad Immortal City lingered without dispersing. At the end of your gaze, which pierced through layer upon layer of barriers, you saw the supreme treasure Ye Ping'an had forged before him. This proclaimed that Ye Ping'an's secluded cultivation this time, aided by the Creation Artifact Source in artifact refinement, had succeeded in one stroke!
This time, Ye Ping'an had far exceeded your expectations, rendering quite a few of your preparations useless.
