"Impossible!"
"Cang Xuanming was only one step away from comprehending the Ten Thousand Daos Return-to-Void Canon..."
"How did Lu Ren break free of his inner demons without anyone's help?"
The Xuan Yin Sect Master's fists tightened slightly, his face dark as a storm.

Lu Ren had not merely beaten Cang Xuanming. He had beaten the sect master too.
Outside the Great Dao Hundred-Refinements Tower, deathly silence had fallen.
Everyone stared at Cang Xuanming, who lay on the plaza, disbelief written across their faces.

"Since Cang Xuanming has been sent out, that proves Lu Ren has successfully comprehended the Ten Thousand Daos Return-to-Void Canon!"
At those words, the crowd erupted once more.
"It really was Lu Ren!"
"Lu Ren actually beat the Profound Fate Dao Disciple!"
"He reached the pinnacle of the Great Dao Hundred-Refinements Tower at the World-Evolution Stage and comprehended the Ten Thousand Daos Return-to-Void Canon first!"
