Meng Chuan brought Wushi back to the ruins of the Ancient Heavenly Court to recuperate, then sent him off to the Primordial Boundary Sea again.
As long as life went on, so did the trials.
The Primordial Boundary Sea was vast. Even if word of the commotion Wushi had caused spread, it would only travel within the Myriad Manifestations Heavenly Palace's sphere of influence.

Even Shi Hao had taken ages to cross the Boundary Sea after becoming a Quasi-Immortal Emperor, let alone the Immortal Kings of today.
So elsewhere, this incident would have no effect on Wushi. He could roam freely and stir up fresh trouble.
Meng Chuan and Ruthless returned to their time alone together. After her battle with a Peak Immortal King, Ling was bursting through her mind.
But she still had questions about Meng Chuan's methods.

Meng Chuan then explained it carefully, lest Ruthless become too enamored of Will Secret Techniques.

Meng Chuan had created an Immortal King-level Will Secret Technique himself. Later, he had obtained the "Lie Yuan Technique." Though he could not cultivate it, he had still drawn insights from it to strengthen his own Secret Technique.
The threshold for cultivating the "Lie Yuan Technique" was extraordinarily high, and the higher one's realm, the harder it was to meet the requirements. Before becoming a True God, one needed the will of a Chaos Overlord.
In the terms of the Shrouding the Heavens World's cultivation system, that meant possessing a will approaching the Near-Immortal King level while still a Quasi-Emperor of the Human Dao.
