"This voice... Su Yuan?"
Hearing the familiar voice coming through the intercom, the Spirit Transmutation cultivators, who had all thought Su Yuan had perished, lit up with delight.
That kid was still alive.
But then, every one of them was left bewildered.
Even Immeasurable Tribulation Venerable had been certain Su Yuan died in the Chaos Qi. How had he managed to survive after all?
Even if he had somehow survived, why was the intercom still working?
Puzzled though he was, Heavenly Lord Wu Luo responded as quickly as he could:
"Su Yuan, we can hear you. What's your situation over there?"
"I'm doing pretty well."
Su Yuan chuckled from the other end of the intercom.
"To be honest, because of a special constitution I have, the Chaos Qi can't harm me. In fact, it's become a great help."
"And as long as I stay hidden in the Chaos Qi, Immeasurable Tribulation Venerable won't be able to find me—not while the Chaos Qi remains."
"I contacted you right away mainly to let you know I'm safe. Now that you all know I'm fine, I'll hang up."
"I'm pretty busy over here."
Heavenly Lord Wu Luo asked curiously,
"What are you busy with?"
Su Yuan replied, "Busy ascending to Spirit Transformation."
With that, the intercom's light went out completely, leaving the Spirit Transmutation cultivators inside Divine Craftsman Palace staring at one another.
Only after a long while did Heavenly Lord Wu Luo shake his head and sigh.
"That kid Su Yuan sure has a lot of secrets. No wonder he dared to go alone to the Cosmic Boundary Wall."
"If he really can become a Spirit Transmutation cultivator right under Immeasurable Tribulation Venerable's nose, then even without the threat of the Immortal Slaying Sword, we'll still have a decent chance of winning."
