"How is that possible?!"
At the sight of that person, Jue Ming's pupils abruptly contracted, and towering waves surged through his heart.
The aura emanating from the visitor was so vast that it rivaled the sect's Golden Core True Persons. How could such a being have appeared soundlessly inside his Cave Abode? As his thoughts churned, the Black-Robed Figure slowly turned, directing an unfathomable gaze straight at him.
When Jue Ming saw the visitor's features, his mind reeled. For a moment, he had no idea how to describe this True Person.
The visitor seemed male, yet also female; an elder, yet also a youth. When Jue Ming focused and looked again, he seemed to see his own face instead. "Y-you... honored..." His throat bobbed, and he hurriedly bent into a deep bow.
"Disciple Jue Ming pays his respects to the True Person. I did not know you were coming and failed to welcome you from afar. Please forgive me."
A faint smile seemed to linger at the black-robed Daoist's lips. "Junior Martial Niece Jue Ming, there is no need for such ceremony between us."
Doubts clouded Jue Ming's heart. This unfamiliar True Person spoke with easy familiarity, as though they knew each other. Had he somehow forgotten the visitor? Before he could ponder further, the Daoist turned over a hand and produced an object.
It seemed carved from jade, its features lifelike, its appearance that of a goddess. The instant it appeared, dense mist veiled the abode, seeping with waves of icy chill. "A Law?!"
Jue Ming's eyes suddenly widened in disbelief.
Although he had never possessed a [Law], he had long been at Foundation Establishment Perfection and had seen one before. It belonged to a higher order, a truth of essential nature. He could never mistake it. "Indeed."
