The songstress Gu Yue Fairy who now appeared in this city was, of course, Pan Ning, one of the Puppet Dao Grandmasters. His method of refinement through incense and fire prayer power and his fortune Dao Fruit had both come from the secret scrolls of the Great Qian Dynasty, and they were remarkably effective.
Li Chen had also tried it with his incarnation as the Azure Lotus Sword Immortal, Li Taibai, and had long since verified that this method could refine his own divine soul. Now he was merely repeating an old trick.
Pan Ning had already known that the method's foundations were sound. His concern had been whether a songstress could command enough attention. From the look of things now, as long as the devotion was sincere and wholehearted, it fully met the Great Qian Dynasty's requirements for cultivating the Dao of Fortune.
Li Chen's conclusion-that making gods was making stars, and making stars was making gods-could truly be called ingenious.
"This is Master's voice..."
Li Baiyan of the Soundless Heavenly Palace was utterly stunned. She had never imagined that a dignified Puppet Dao Grandmaster would actually lip-sync, let alone that her own master would cooperate by recording songs for him beforehand.
Seeing how the people below the stage were utterly entranced, unable to forget what they had heard even after so long, she suddenly began to doubt the Dao Path she cultivated. Certain convictions she had held unquestioningly for years came crashing down.
"What are you standing there in a daze for? It's almost your turn."
Pan Ning returned backstage in satisfaction and sat down cross-legged to meditate, not forgetting to remind the dazed Li Baiyan along the way.
Li Baiyan gave an inward, bitter chuckle. She could only suppress the strange sense of absurdity in her heart
