When Golden Core True Lords ventured beyond the heavens, once they went deep enough, they would lose their positions and become lost...
This required a process. Within a certain range, for instance, Golden Core True Lords would not lose their positions and could instead fight to their hearts' content. Thus, many True Lords chose to battle beyond the heavens, where the impact on the Breath-Nourishing Dao's world was smaller!
But beyond that range, Vacant Position True Lords would inevitably be the first to lose their positions, followed by Guest Positions, Primary Positions, Secondary Positions, and Principal Positions!
Before Fang Qing brought the Phoenix through the turn, he had already sensed that the [Winnowing Basket Water] Vacant Position was about to be lost, yet the Phoenix was unexpectedly unharmed.
Even after being swept into this region, where ordinary Golden Core True Lords would inevitably become lost.
The Phoenix had merely lost the [Tail Fire] Secondary Position. Its [Wings Fire] Principal Position remained, as did its connection to the Breath-Nourishing Dao's world. It could still return!
Once it returned, that [Tail Fire] Secondary Position would surely return to it at once, allowing it to regain the realm of Mid Golden Core!
Unless, during this brief span of being lost, that [Tail Fire] Secondary Position was suppressed or sealed by another. Otherwise, it was an unstoppable certainty!
"Such is the Fire Virtue lineage. Great Sun and Lunar Yin could likely venture even deeper beyond the heavens without becoming lost..."
Fang Qing's heart tightened.
The reason he had fled beyond the heavens, and had even chosen Qiujin and made such a thunderous spectacle of it, was first to see whether he could pluck away another Golden Seat in the opening battle. Second, he intended to exploit the characteristics of the realm beyond the heavens
