The great powers of the Golden Court were all preparing to battle the Primordial Unity Celestial Palace head-on, each adjusting their own qi. They believed that the main opponents they needed to deal with were those five.
As for the other great powers, the stance they had shown thus far was neither rebellion nor intervention. Even if those five forced them to come forward and fight, they would find it difficult to display much will to resist. This would allow the Golden Court to concentrate more of its strength on attacking those five.
No matter how formidable those five were, relying on their own Dao arts alone, they could not possibly contend against the combined forces of so many great powers.
Zhang Yu did not hasten to issue an edict. He carefully distinguished the power caught within the swirling current and discovered that the existence there was exceedingly stable. How long it could endure depended entirely on both sides; as long as either side could divert away its strength, it could continue.
They certainly would not take the initiative to do so, so they could only let matters remain entangled there for the time being.
Qing Shuo sighed. "What a skillful method."
In their understanding of Origin Void and their application of Dao power, those five truly stood above all others. Moreover, they had achieved this while enduring Origin Void's bias against them, so the price they had paid was undoubtedly even greater.
Awakened Firmament, however, was unconcerned. "So what if that is the case? They merely shifted away our power. That was what we intended to do from the start."
He pointed again at Li Fuyuan and Daoist Wan. "Besides, those two fellow Daoists have returned. Their earlier expulsion was equivalent to nothing. Haven't they still lost a move?"
