"It must be you... guiding us..."
Beside them, Xian Muran sat cross-legged atop one of the three pillars. Her speech came in broken fragments, each word taking tremendous effort.
Mu Qing nodded. He glanced at Great Serpent and the elderly demonic cultivator on the other side, then sat down cross-legged as well and began circulating the Tianming Scripture.
The others followed Mu Qing's lead and began circulating the Tianming Scripture at the same time!
Behind Mu Qing, a river of time emerged, its waves battering the surroundings.
At the same time, Mu Qing sensed a faint connection—a trace of connection to the true river of time!
As Mu Qing poured out his energy, the river of time swelled against the wind, flowing forth and linking with the river of time within the void.
At the center of the two rivers of time lay Ming Xuan's original body!
Relying on the connection to that body, along with Mu Qing and Ming Xuan both having reached the minor mastery realm of the Tianming Scripture, resonance arose from within and without, actually opening a passage through time!
At the end of the river of time sat a majestic figure. At that moment, he opened his eyes, and terrifying divine light burst from his gaze.
That towering figure stepped forth from the end of the river of time, but he moved exceedingly slowly. Wave after wave of time crashed against his body, obstructing his steps.
Ming Xuan was attempting to return!
Beside Mu Qing were Great Serpent, Xian Muran, and the elderly demonic cultivator.
All three had been selected as mere tools for the Tianming Legion and taught the Tianming Scripture by Ming Xuan.
Yet the three of them had cultivated for too short a time and had never entered the river of time.
