Half-Awakened Immortal had always been the greatest obstacle blocking Celestial Xia's path. This barrier prevented Celestial Xia from breaking through, making it difficult to push their offensive into Origin Xia's heartland.
Lin Tingzhi glanced at Luo Zhong. Although this person had brought up the matter, he doubted whether the Black Mirror could truly accomplish it.
Whether judging from Councillor Qiu's description or this person's later use of it, this thing had never been intended to contend against other treasures that suppressed the Way. It was meant for shifting, escaping, and corrupting other living beings.
Half-Awakened Immortal was a purely defensive treasure. More formidable still, it could receive a certain degree of support from the Origin Xia Heavenly Order. That was why this treasure was so hard to crack.
Besides, things were different now from before. Without Zhang Yu's Sever All Absolutes, even if they could breach that barrier, they could not secure victory in one stroke. Nor could they repeat their previous feat of overturning the Myriad Ways one after another. They would still need to fight a real battle afterward, and their preparations were not yet complete.
Most importantly, although they had been searching for a way to break through this treasure, that method had to remain in their own hands. When to break through, how to do it, and what to use—all of it had to be decided by them. They could not hand the weapon to another, much less to a chaos cultivator.
There was one thing, however. If this person used his methods to stir up Origin Xia from within, they might find more opportunities in the future.
He said, "We appreciate your goodwill, but that is something Celestial Xia must do for itself. We need not trouble you to involve yourself."
Luo Zhong was angered
