"What?" Everyone was stunned upon hearing this.
"More or less what I guessed."
Only Qing Huan did not show much surprise. Back when the pressure of heaven and earth had descended, even attempting to directly shatter the Longevity Realm to stop Lin Chuan from obtaining the Supreme One Scripture, she had already formed this suspicion. She had not even needed to use Yin-Yang Divination to deduce it; a little judgment was enough to reach that conclusion.
"How could this happen? How are you supposed to establish yourself in the cultivation world from now on?" Qin Lang asked with an ugly expression.
They had thought that, now that Lin Chuan had obtained the three Primordial Scriptures, Akatsuki would finally be able to hold their heads high, leave the Longevity Realm, and deal with the Central River Imperial Family. They had not expected Lin Chuan to be unable to act freely. This outcome was vastly different from what they had hoped for.
Lin Chuan gave a wry smile and pursed his lips. He had not expected this outcome either, but it was not entirely unacceptable.
"It's only that I can't act recklessly. It doesn't mean I can't act at all, so there's no need for you to worry too much. Just keep doing what you were doing before," Lin Chuan explained.
"Does that mean that, as long as you don't use the Supreme One Scripture, you'll be fine?" Lin An asked.
"Not using the Supreme One Scripture will indeed reduce Heaven's hostility toward me, but it has already fixed its attention on me. So whether I use it or not, the difference won't be that great," Lin Chuan said softly.
"Then what will you do in the future? Are you never going to be able to act in the cultivation world again?"
