Yu Ci had originally harbored distracting thoughts. Facing a formidable enemy like Extreme Ancestor, before considering victory, he first considered defeat.
Losing to Extreme Ancestor would not be strange. It would not harm his foundations here, and Extreme Ancestor presumably could not pursue him all the way to Lan Hai Mountain. But if that happened, it would inevitably deal a blow to both his and the "Later Sage's" reputation in the true realm.
Yet when the bell rang upon the "high platform" within the Realm of Truth, those tangled thoughts were swept clean away in one stroke—or rather, they had no room left to exist.
The "high platform" was a platform built within the Realm of Truth using the methods of Eternal Azure Sky and Ziwei Emperor's Command, allowing intervention in the Shangqing system. Naturally, it would react to the corresponding information.
Although Yu Ci had driven the framework of the Law of Life and Death into the void and entered the mysterious sect system, that did not mean he had any particularly deep connection with the Shangqing system. According to the plan, that would be the next step after entering Taixiao Divine Court.
But at this moment, as Yu Ci faced the sharp point of the so-called Huayang Demonic Spear, what he saw was a murky spiritual radiance. Mixed within it, beyond question, were the resentments of Shangqing cultivators who had died near Huayang Mountain. Yet now, they were imprisoned upon the demonic spear and driven by their enemy.
How could cultivators of the Shangqing lineage bear such a thing?
Through that glimmer of spiritual radiance and the aura trail of the Huayang Demonic Spear, Yu Ci's consciousness could even trace its way back to Huayang Cave and sense those struggling thoughts...
