Zhang Yuan listened to Chi Guanguan, raised his brows slightly, and voiced his doubts.
"Immortal Maiden, is this secret art really correct?" Zhang Yuan asked.
Chi Guanguan folded her arms across her chest. "How is it not correct? Do you want to send a message or not?"
Zhang Yuan had nothing to say. As a poorly informed Lower Cultivator in the Nascent Soul Realm, he could only do as Chi Guanguan instructed. He immediately performed the Southern Dipper Gang Steps, cleared his throat, and said respectfully:
"I, the Daoist Zhang Yuan, first beseech [Dust-Treading Cosmos True Lord], second beseech Dust-Treading Cosmos Primordial Lady, and third beseech Dust-Treading Cosmos Imperial Lord."
As he finished speaking, Zhang Yuan came to a stop. Nothing happened. The underground treasury remained as calm as a windless sea.
Zhang Yuan could not help turning to look at Chi Guanguan.
Chi Guanguan blinked. "What's the rush? My true body has already sensed it. This strand of Divine Sense will draw over a strand of Profound Mystery, and then I'll personally make a trip to the Southern Heaven Realm."
Now Zhang Yuan understood, including the principle behind Chi Guanguan's secret art.
He called out Chi Guanguan's titles to establish Karma. Chi Guanguan then used that Karma to draw a strand of Profound Mystery from her true body, after which she would use it to personally visit the Great Heng Dynasty.
Truly... what an exquisitely profound art.
Zhang Yuan did not voice his thoughts. Instead, he asked curiously:
"Immortal Maiden, is there some significance to the titles True Lord, Primordial Lady, and Imperial Lord?"
A True Lord's thoughts stirred all the heavens.
When he called out the first title, [Dust-Treading Cosmos True Lord], he had indeed sensed something, as though an existence countless levels above even the Five Realms
