Inside the True Spirit Palace, Emperor Jingming was watching the space on the twelfth level with some curiosity. The grand formation blocked his view of what was happening inside, but that only made him all the more curious.
As far as Emperor Jingming knew, Ju Hua was still quite young. And judging by the strength Ju Hua had once displayed, many well-informed Eternal Emperors and Dominators suspected that he was pursuing the Ultimate Dao.
If it wasn't the Ultimate Dao, how could he have such strength?
The Ultimate Dao was terrifyingly difficult to cultivate, and Ju Hua had been cultivating for only a short time. By all rights, there was no way he could be attempting Dao Integration now!
And yet Ju Hua had chosen to come to the True Spirit Palace at this very moment. How could Emperor Jingming not be curious?
Of course, curiosity was one thing. Ju Hua hadn't said anything, and Emperor Jingming hadn't asked. This might involve Ju Hua's secrets, and Emperor Jingming had enough sense not to pry!
"I wonder what brought Daoist Ju Hua here."
Emperor Jingming glanced again at the space on the twelfth level. It wasn't that he was overly curious. The truth was, he had guarded the True Spirit Palace for so many years that he was terribly bored. Now that something interesting had finally happened, he couldn't help wanting to know some of the details.
Just as Emperor Jingming was pondering, a vast, profound aura suddenly broke through the seal of the grand formation on the True Spirit Palace's twelfth level and blossomed outside.
The moment he sensed it, Emperor Jingming's eyes widened.
"Dao Integration?"
After guarding the True Spirit Palace for countless years, Emperor Jingming was thoroughly familiar with the aura of a Dao Lord undergoing Dao Integration.
