What Tang Changsheng least expected was that, at such a dangerous moment, the Heavenly Mandate Compass—which had been quiet all this time—would activate on its own. His face changed in shock.
Vast amounts of Primordial Taiyi Qi were drawn into the Heavenly Mandate Compass, which slowly began to turn.
Inside the hall, Sect Leader Chen cried out in surprise. "Huh? What is that boy doing? His consumption of Primordial Taiyi Qi has doubled again!"
True Lord Wu smiled. "The Primordial Chaos Gourd in your keeping is our order's greatest treasure. It connects directly to Primordial Taiyi. Never mind a mere Yang Spirit like Tang Changsheng—even an Immortal Refiner or a Taiyi Immortal would pose no problem."
Sect Leader Chen did not know whether to laugh or cry. "Do you think the Taiyi Immortal Sword Order belongs to my family? This Primordial Chaos Gourd of mine is only a duplicate. The real gourd is in the ancestor's hands. The amount of Primordial Taiyi Qi I can draw on each year is very limited!"
Before True Lord Wu could reply, he smiled and added, "Don't worry. I won't shortchange your disciple. I'm just curious what he's doing to consume so much Primordial Taiyi Qi... Tsk, tsk. A Yang Spirit True Person is using almost as much as a True Immortal!"
But that was all he could say. Even with the Primordial Chaos Gourd in hand, he had only a broad idea of what was happening inside.
As for finer details, such as what was happening within Tang Changsheng's Spirit Terrace, Sect Leader Chen naturally could not see them clearly.
At that moment, Tang Changsheng himself had no idea what was happening.
The Heavenly Mandate Compass had earned its name because it looked remarkably like a compass, though it was far more intricate.
