"Xuandu..."
Nuwa's gaze sharpened slightly. That Green Clad Figure grew ever clearer in the Creation Divine Mirror.
An ominous premonition suddenly rose within her.
Sure enough.
Xuandu slowly turned his head within the mirror, his gaze seeming to pierce endless space and fall directly upon Wa Huang Palace.
Their eyes met.
Even across countless layers of heavenly domains, Nuwa felt his gaze with unmistakable clarity!
"He... can sense that I'm watching him?"
Nuwa's pupils contracted sharply. For the first time, disbelief showed on her face.
How was this possible?
She was a Heavenly Dao Sage of the fourth heaven!
Moreover, she had concealed the heavenly secrets with the Path of Creation to watch in secret. Even Yuanshi and Laozi, fellow Sages, might not have detected her easily.
Yet Xuandu... had only just broken through to Primordial Great Golden Immortal, and he had sensed her presence instantly?
Just how keen was his spiritual sense? How far had his mastery of the heaven and earth laws reached?
Hum...
The Creation Divine Mirror trembled slightly, ripples spreading across its surface.
Xuandu's tranquil eyes grew ever deeper in the mirror, as though they reflected all of Great Wilderness Heaven and Earth—and even... the shock and uncertainty of a Sage like her.
Nuwa's heart tightened. Instinctively, she moved to withdraw her spiritual sense and end her surveillance.
However.
"Aunt Nuwa."
At that very moment, Xuandu's voice passed through the divine mirror with perfect clarity, entering Wa Huang Palace and reaching deep into Nuwa's mind:
"Since you're here, why not show yourself?"
His voice was calm, yet carried an unquestionable, penetrating force.
Nuwa shuddered slightly, her robes stirring without a breeze.
She slowly closed her eyes and drew a deep breath. When she opened them again, every ripple of emotion had vanished, leaving only sacred serenity.
