An unknown stretch of time passed before a voice rang out from somewhere far away, full of majesty but not utterly devoid of feeling. "What is it?"
White True Person dared not raise her head to look directly at that expanse of void, even though no figure truly existed there. She said softly, "This junior sincerely begs you to return, Ancestor."
The voice grew still more ethereal and remote, as though it should never have been audible in the Mortal World. "Why?"
White True Person said, "Lian Sanyue is dead, and Cao Yuan is gravely wounded. If you return, Ancestor, you can easily kill them all and prevent Jingyang from ascending again."
The voice vanished briefly before sounding again.
"Of the Immortal Registers I left behind, one primary and one auxiliary remain. Who will receive me this time?"
The speaker was, of course, the last person to ascend from Chaotian Continent-the Immortal Bairen.
Through some unknown secret method, the Zhongzhou Sect could actually speak directly with an Immortal in the Upper Realm.
Even harder to understand was that the Immortal Bairen seemed to have remained somewhere not far from Chaotian Continent all along, allowing her to respond so quickly to the Zhongzhou Sect's summons.
The Immortal Bairen had left the Zhongzhou Sect three primary, three auxiliary, and six Immortal Registers. Under extreme circumstances, she could indeed split off a strand of Immortal Sense and return to Chaotian Continent, but that was exceedingly difficult and required a highly suitable immortal body to receive her.
The last time the Immortal Bairen had split off a strand of Immortal Sense to descend, Bai Zao had spent many years refining the Immortal Register and had still had to pay the price of having her own soul scattered into oblivion.
Bai Zao was still asleep
