After Zhang Yu slew Sheng Zheng, he looked back. Delayed by this man, the other Origin Xia cultivators had all destroyed their surrogate bodies and departed. The auras they left behind had already dispersed, so there was naturally no way to kill them.
Yet after this battle, he could feel that his karmic burden had diminished somewhat. This showed how important Sheng Zheng had been to Origin Xia.

This was not merely due to the limitations of the treasure itself. The reversal of the cosmic momentum had also indulged the heavenly workings too greatly.
