"Celestial Venerable..."
Heavenly Lord Fashan looked up at Celestial Venerable Guangyuan. His face had blurred amid the ebb and flow of laws, but the power emanating from on high still made Fashan, an Immortal True Person at the Minor Tribulation Method realm, tremble despite himself.
Celestial Venerable Guangyuan had held a lofty position since the founding of Mysterious Capital Palace. He had watched seas turn to mulberry fields and the mortal world change time and again.

A single sentence from Celestial Venerable Guangyuan left Puxiang and Fashan dumbstruck.
What did he mean?
Could it be that the Ancient Immortal Abode had never contained any provision for closing the Void Corridor?
"The Earth Official Great Emperor's Immortal Abode was never meant to suppress that Void Corridor. Back then, that lot knew how to dig pits, but never intended to fill them."
Celestial Venerable Guangyuan's voice was indifferent, yet his words struck the two men's hearts like a heavy hammer.
"Only a complete collapse can sever it for good. Otherwise, a corridor will run straight to this side. How many Earth Immortals must our sect throw into the breach?"
"But..."
Heavenly Lord Fashan sighed. "With so many disciples involved, how are we to answer to them?"
"I will answer to them myself."
Celestial Venerable Guangyuan gazed toward the Void Corridor ahead,
