Time passed quietly.
Before anyone knew it, decades had gone by, and the Immortal Sect's expeditionary fleet was still on the march.
Jiang Ding waved a hand, and twenty-seven objects appeared before him: bonded magic treasures, bonded feathers, bonded spider silk, and more. Every one of them was precious.
