"Master!"
When Zhang Pan saw Zhang Yang appear, he hurried forward to greet him.
He had not seen his master for more than twenty thousand years.
"You've reached the Emperor Realm. Very good!" Zhang Yang said with a smile, nodding at Zhang Pan.
What pleased him most was that Zhang Pan had not spent those twenty thousand years living in the Abyss. Clearly, he had gone out into the world.
Otherwise, his wisdom and experience would not have become so well-rounded.
"Where have you been all these years, Master?" Zhang Pan asked curiously.
"Somewhere rather far away!"
Zhang Yang gave a simple explanation, then asked, "How far have you comprehended the deepest mysteries of Karmic Force?"
Zhang Pan had entered the Emperor Realm through Karmic Force.
Strictly speaking, he had already forged a fourth path to the Emperor Realm.
Of course, Karmic Force had never been something conventional.
One could even say that many people simply could not become tainted by Karmic Force at all.
For those of high realms, even becoming tainted by Karmic Force would bring extremely severe consequences.
For those of low realms, encountering Karmic Force was almost certain death.
Before cultivating to a powerful realm, one could not touch Karmic Force; by the time one could touch it, one's Great Dao path had already been fixed.
This made it impossible for countless living beings to attain the Dao through the path of Karmic Force.
Zhang Pan was simply too extraordinary.
Zhang Yang, Tathagata of Spirit Mountain, and even Shadow had all begun to come into contact with the power of Karmic Force.
However, they were only at the level of "using" it.
Zhang Pan, on the other hand, had attained the Dao through Karmic Force. He was the one most likely to touch upon its mysteries.
