Bai Feiyu stood amid the Sea of Flowers, staring fixedly at the Notes in his hand. In a blank space, a golden character traced in ancient seal script floated onto the paper.
The dark-gold character carried an abstruse, mysterious aura. Anyone else looking at it would have been utterly unable to understand its meaning.
But Bai Feiyu could read it.
This character was the Immortal Script used among Immortals.
And every Immortal had a Birth Character, representing the Dao they possessed.
The meaning of this character on the paper was:
"Artifact"!
It was the very name Bai Feiyu had just threatened the fat old man into signing.
Once an Immortal signed their true name, it meant they had subordinated themselves to another Dao.
Regardless of the other party's cultivation, the Dao that party represented would forever stand above their own.
This was why the Artifact Ancestor had refused to sign no matter what, yet had obediently signed his name after Xiao Bai revealed his identity.
Dignity? Faced with the madman before him, the Artifact Ancestor still chose to live.
No one understood Li Taibai's terror better than the Artifact Ancestor. It was a fear that sprang from his True Spirit, a terror that made even his own Dao tremble!
He had originally thought the Human Race youth before him was merely the reincarnation of the dog he had raised. Who could have imagined he would actually stumble into such dogshit luck and encounter Li Taibai's reincarnation in person?
The Artifact Ancestor, who a second earlier had been haughty and defiant, preferring death to submission, instantly followed his fearful heart and readily signed his name.
Losing to a dog he had once raised was unacceptable, but if it was Li Taibai, even handing everything over was not out of the question!
