"The Heaven and Earth Ancient Way... Qin Hao had actually mastered the Heaven and Earth Ancient Way..." Lord Charming Scorpion was shocked and terrified, but also immensely relieved.
If Qin Hao had made a move at the end, he could probably have killed Lord Charming Scorpion with a wave of his hand.
As Lord Charming Scorpion saw it, someone powerful enough to gravely wound Lord Zhiyuan, a Six-Tribulation Peak Sovereign, and send him fleeing in disgrace would have no trouble killing Lord Charming Scorpion.
That was precisely why Lord Charming Scorpion felt so relieved.
Just a little closer, and Lord Charming Scorpion would have died there.
At the same time, Lord Charming Scorpion was deeply shaken.
Almost every Sovereign in the Star Sea knew that because Qin Hao primarily cultivated the Heaven and Earth Ancient Way, he could not advance to the Sovereign Realm. The Heavenly Dao suppressed him.
But now...
Qin Hao had mastered the Heaven and Earth Ancient Way. Did that mean he might advance to the Sovereign Realm someday?
"If Qin Hao advances to the Sovereign Realm, with the Primordial Feathered Wings and his mastery of the Heaven and Earth Ancient Way, he may well rival a Great Dao Dominator."
Lord Charming Scorpion drew a deep breath and murmured, "The skies are changing. Before long, the whole Star Sea may be turned upside down."
"Seclusion!"
"Once I return, I'm going into seclusion. Whatever happens outside, I won't get involved."
Lord Charming Scorpion made up their mind never to come to the True Martial Continent again or get tangled in these disputes. After all, nothing mattered more than staying alive.
Many other Sovereigns thought the same.
Every one of them felt immensely fortunate that Qin Hao had not killed them.
What none of them considered, however, was this...
