Xu Taiping thought Immortal Elder Wuji had misspoken, and immediately frowned as he asked for confirmation:
"Immortal Elder, surely you're joking?"
Immortal Elder Wuji, however, said with a solemn expression:
"Xu Taiping, at a time like this, I have no mind for jokes!"
As he spoke, Immortal Elder Wuji once again suppressed the counterattack from the manifestation of Xingtian's divine intent, then explained to Xu Taiping with a grave expression:
"When we entered the Southern Heavenly Gate Ruins, this divine intent of Xingtian's had already grown formidable. Moreover, unlike Yundaozi, I am not skilled in sealing arts. I can only suppress him like this."
"And now, during this stalemate with me, this divine intent has not only grown considerably stronger, but has also gradually found weaknesses in my Spell and Divine Ability."
"Even if I force it back into the Golden Chalice now, it will still escape."
"So, as things stand, only by first sealing it inside a powerful physique can we truly keep it under control for the time being."
"What? Do you not trust me, Xu Taiping?"
Hearing this, Xu Taiping immediately shook his head and said:
"It isn't that I don't trust you, Immortal Elder. I don't trust this physique of mine to seal the divine intent of Ancient God Xingtian."
Immortal Elder Wuji chuckled and said:
"Under normal circumstances, it certainly couldn't. But right now, this divine intent is merely an incomplete portion of Ancient God Xingtian's already incomplete divine intent, far weaker than a complete strand."
"Furthermore, although you only have a Great Sage Realm physique, you have cultivated not only the Flame Emperor Body Tempering Art, but also Great Emperor Mysterious Wasteland's Furnace Body Tempering Method."
Xu Taiping was inwardly startled by these words. He had not expected Immortal Elder Wuji to know so
