I actually missed it. Did Emperor Bone Brother do that deliberately? Chen Yao had mixed feelings when he heard the news.
The destruction of the Primeval Ancient World had actually happened only a short while earlier.
Emperor Bone Brother most likely knew, but he would not, and did not want Chen Yao to wade into those muddy waters either.
As Chen Yao remembered it, the Six Paths of Reincarnation Immortal King had only just learned that the Primeval Ancient World faced the threat of destruction at this point. He was probably preparing to convene a meeting to discuss countermeasures.
Chen Yao had arrived at precisely the time when the Six Paths of Reincarnation Immortal King learned of this through spiritual communication with the Land Connecting Past and Present, and the crisis that would destroy the Primeval Ancient World would come during a gathering in the Purple Bamboo Forest.
Barring any surprises, it should originally have been an occasion where a Quasi-Immortal King, about to advance, invited fellow cultivators to the Purple Bamboo Forest to witness the ceremony. The Six Paths of Reincarnation Immortal King would most likely take the opportunity to discuss the matter with other Immortal Kings at the banquet. He might even help that Quasi-Immortal King invite more Immortal Kings to attend, so they could discuss how to prevent that future destruction.
