"Old Ancestor Qing Xuan, your sect's treasured land truly is eye-opening."
Among the crowd, an old man suddenly spoke with a laugh, breaking the brief silence.
Pill Emperor Qing Xuan forced out a smile. "You flatter me, Fellow Daoist."
He took a deep breath, suppressing the turmoil in his heart, then looked once more at the golden vortex in the sky.
"Everyone."
Pill Emperor Qing Xuan raised a hand and pointed at the vortex. "The Immortal Method lies within that vortex. However, to enter it, we must first break the pill-glow restriction surrounding it."
After a brief pause, Pill Emperor Qing Xuan continued, "And to break this restriction, we must use Qin Guan's Chaos Power. Only Chaos Power can break open the power of the Heaven Earth Profound Veins within this Forbidden Land."
At the mention of Qin Guan, Pill Emperor Qing Xuan's tone noticeably changed. It had been stirring and forceful before, but now his resolve was no longer so strong.
"Old Ancestor Qing Xuan, could Qin Guan have escaped the Immeasurable Star Field and no longer be among us? Otherwise, after so many days of careful searching, why have we found no clues at all?"
"That's right. No matter how deeply he hides or how cleverly he disguises himself, he can't possibly leave behind no trace whatsoever, can he?"
Voices of doubt rose one after another from the crowd. They were already itching to seize Qin Guan, break the Forbidden Land's restrictions, and obtain the Immortal Method's Secret Technique.
Haha, what a bunch of idiots. Young Master Qin is hiding inside my body right now. You'd never figure that out even if it killed you, would you?
Lei Zhen thought proudly to himself, yet his face remained perfectly composed as he stared at the vortex in the sky
