"To be precise, the Great Chaos Immortal Art you have in mind is not here!"
Immortal Venerable Wuji explained slowly, "Back then, His Majesty the Heavenly Emperor did leave something with me. But it was not the Great Chaos Immortal Art. It was a painting!"
"It is called the Chaos Heaven-Opening Diagram!"
He extended an illusory hand and lightly tapped the Yin-Yang Dao Platform behind him.
Hum!
The Yin-Yang Dao Platform hummed and trembled. Brilliant light bloomed, runes intertwined, and the platform slowly split open. An ancient seal, hidden for countless years, emerged from its depths.

His hand settled gently on the seal.

"His teacher did not let him down!"
