"Where's Baobao?"
He Pingsheng took a deep breath, then forcibly changed the subject. "Why haven't I seen my precious disciple?"
His gaze swept around the Great Hall three times, but he still did not see Xin Baobao.
Yet a slender young woman stepped forward, cupped her hands respectfully to He Pingsheng, and said, "Master, that's me!"
He Pingsheng's mouth fell open. "Huh?"
This little girl had grown up?
Previously, perhaps because she practiced demonic arts, she had always stood only five feet tall. Now, however, she had blossomed into a poised, graceful beauty.
"Heh..." He Pingsheng did not know whether to laugh or cry. "I was wondering why someone had suddenly appeared here. So it was you!"
"Good, good, good!"
"How many Great Dao Orders have you fused?" he asked Xin Baobao with concern.
Xin Baobao's cultivation had already reached the eleventh layer of the Dao Origin Realm.
Indeed, Xin Baobao's cultivation had always been ahead of Luo Bingyao's before, but now she had fallen behind.
There was no helping it. Luo Bingyao had a Void Spirit Root and faced no bottlenecks whatsoever.
But Xin Baobao had a bottleneck!
She was stuck at the bottleneck of the Dao Origin Realm.
"To answer your question, Master!" Xin Baobao looked serene. "I have already fused seven Demonic Path Orders and am currently fusing the eighth!"
He Pingsheng was overjoyed. "Good!"
Luo Bingyao had no chance of reaching Primordial Unity, but Xin Baobao still had a chance.
He Pingsheng withdrew his gaze and looked at Qiao Huizhu and Wen Buwan. "What about you two?"
"How are you progressing?"
Neither of them spoke.
He Pingsheng waved his hand and said, "The rest of you may withdraw first. I still have some important matters to discuss!"
Everyone withdrew, leaving only He Pingsheng, Qiao Huizhu, and
