"God Attendant?"
"Is he the artifact spirit of this Mother River of All Things?"
Hong Yuan's divine will, hidden deep within Shi Lin's soul, sensed waves of law radiating from the enormous eye suspended in the void. They invaded through every opening, sweeping through the souls of Qingji, Zhu Benzi, the other two lineage leaders, and Shi Lin.
The essential nature of this power of law was so lofty that even Hong Yuan was startled.
An essence above that of a Dao Embryo Mystic Lord or a Void Refinement True Lord?!
Hong Yuan had a vague suspicion.
In the Earth Immortal Method, "the mystery beyond all mysteries is called the Dao." Thus, male Dao Embryo cultivators were called Mystic Lords, while women were called Origin Lords.
Over the past three years and more, Hong Yuan had continually absorbed this world's cultivation methods and subdued several Grand Divine Ability Practitioners. Working backward from these, he was seventy to eighty percent certain that a Dao Embryo Mystic Lord's power stood on the same level as a Void Refinement True Lord's.
The remaining uncertainty came from the fact that he had never personally fought a Dao Embryo cultivator.
If this were merely my own thought, I might truly be unable to evade the Spirit of the Mother River's scrutiny, but-
[Karmic Calamity Dao Seed], activate!
With a single thought, Hong Yuan connected to the unseen power of the Dao Seed. A strand of mysterious Dao essence surged forth at once, enveloping this wisp of his divine will.
The next moment, the waves of law advanced inch by inch, drifting lightly over Hong Yuan without detecting anything.
"Hmm!"
A black-robed figure appeared within the eye in the void. His face was hidden within a radiance too dazzling to look upon directly. He nodded slightly.
