Daoist Wan watched the pure spirit creatures tainted by Chaos Aura surge into the array, then watched as they were gradually repelled beyond the great array. In places ordinary people could not see, even more chaotic fate was breeding and spreading throughout Origin Xia.
This showed that his strategy had worked. Barring accidents, more cultivators suited to practicing the Chaos Dao Method would appear in Origin Xia from now on. Yet that was secondary. The Origin Xia Heavenly Order was currently bearing the weight of the Heavenly Dao and had no strength at all to resist the Great Chaos's contamination.
As Chaos Aura gradually spread, the entire Heavenly Order would open its gates to it. The originally sealed Heavenly Gate might even split open once more, for the Great Chaos transformed constancy into change and impossibility into possibility.
For now, however, he was waiting for the Lower Hall to react.
In his estimation, after suffering so many impacts—especially the invasion of Chaos Aura—the Lower Hall could not possibly remain silent. They would bring him some trouble. But that was no matter; dealing with it would not be difficult.
Yet events did not unfold that way. The Lower Hall did send people over, but their response was not fierce. They merely asked the Upper Hall to contribute part of its strength to resist the Great Chaos together with them.
This was an entirely reasonable request, since they were chiefly responsible for the Great Chaos. But beyond that, they raised no further conditions, so the procedures and measures he had prepared naturally found no use.
After considering it briefly, he more or less grasped the thoughts of the Lower Hall—or rather, of Xiang Si.
That was just as well. It saved him from having to make more trouble.
