At Ye Han's words, both the Immortal-Thief Outsider and Bai Daozi grew solemn.
In the Cultivation World, even getting a single step ahead could lead to an entirely different outcome, setting someone on a completely different path of cultivation.

When he discovered it, the Azure Profound Sect's Azure Mystic Token had been with it. Clearly, the Purple Cauldron had already had a master before Ye Han, but that person had failed to become a Spirit Transformation Stage Cultivator as he had, instead dying in that Demon Beast's cavern.
