Time slowly passed.
In the blink of an eye, three years had passed within the Reincarnation Ancient Pagoda.
Throughout those three years, Lu Ren had been working to develop Chaos Heaven Burial.
But no matter how he studied it, Chaos Heaven Burial remained at the Return to Simplicity level, without any sign of a breakthrough.
"It seems advancing a self-created Grand Dao True Intent to the Unity-Returning Stage isn't so easy!"
Lu Ren slowly opened his eyes and shook his head helplessly.
Buzz!
Just then, the Measure Pavilion Token suddenly vibrated.
A cryptic message entered his sea of consciousness.
It was a secret message from Gui Shaoyin.
Apparently, Chi Ming, Wan Huang, and Lei Heng had already devised their plan to surround and kill him.
In one month, Lei Heng would post information about the Ten-Thousand Ultimate Dao Lake in the Ten-Thousand Exchange Hall, luring Lu Ren into that secret realm.
Meanwhile, Chi Ming, Wan Huang, and Gui Shaoyin would head to the secret realm ahead of time and lie in ambush.
Once Lu Ren entered the secret realm, they would seize their chance to surround and kill him.
"The Soul-Averting Spirit-Transforming Talisman!"
A faint smile appeared on Lu Ren's face. "Gui Shaoyin certainly has a few tricks up his sleeve!"
What Chi Ming and the other three feared most was his One Thought, Like a Dream, so Gui Shaoyin had prepared four Soul-Averting Spirit-Transforming Talismans to counter soul techniques.
But Gui Shaoyin had tampered with the Soul-Averting Spirit-Transforming Talismans, rendering them completely useless.
Lu Ren put away the token, closed his eyes again, and continued consolidating his cultivation.
One month later.
Lu Ren donned his Pavilion Robe and mask, then arrived at the Ten-Thousand Exchange Hall.
A great many trade scrolls still hung within the Ten-Thousand Exchange Hall.
