The mysterious veiled True Immortal hinted that the Immortal Race had gathered there for a specific reason, just as an astonishing scene began.

• Li Xiaoya joined Dong Santong, True Immortal Heavenly Feather, Xiao Qian, and other True Immortals in a side cabin and asked when the World Tree would fully open.
