"Good!"
Li Danyang was delighted to hear that. "Thank you, Fellow Daoist Ouyang." A satisfied smile appeared on his face, and the sharpness in his eyes faded.
"I hope he's the one the Elder Council is looking for. Then I'll have had my revenge."
The black-robed old man gave a sinister smile, anticipation glinting in his eyes.
"Let's hope so."
Li Danyang nodded, his words laden with meaning.
He gazed into the distance, a complicated look flashing through his eyes. He seemed to be pondering something—or confirming it.
The black-robed old man led the way back along their original route, with Li Danyang following him.
One behind the other, they streaked through the air above the mountains like lightning.
On the way, the old man used his magic power to draw an image of Chen Changming, then told Li Danyang about his cultivation and everything else he knew.
Li Danyang listened and nodded slightly. But at the final detail, he stopped short.
His expression shifted. "Fellow Daoist Ouyang, are you saying this man has only just broken through to the Void Refinement Realm in his cultivation?"
His voice had grown lower, as though he needed to confirm something of great importance.
"Yes. Who would've thought that, even after reaching the Fusion Realm in body cultivation, he'd still want to advance his other cultivation? I can't make sense of it... I let my guard down for a moment and nearly lost my life."
The black-robed old man sighed.
There was confusion in his voice, along with regret.
He still could not understand why a Body Cultivator who had reached the Fusion Realm—someone who could already swagger across the Azure Wave Continent—would take a Spirit Transformation Pill to attempt a breakthrough to the Void Refinement Realm.
Was that not gilding the lily?
