--Monday was a bit busy, so this came slightly late. Sorry.
The Heavenly Sovereigns in the great hall conversed among themselves, discussing the meaning behind An Yile and Jian Tonghui's words. Everyone had some understanding of Taixu Temple's peculiarities—for instance, the Great Thousand World born from the Heavenly and Earthly Spirit Root, or Senior Qianxuzi's methods that came close to those of a Golden Immortal—but from the pair's exchange, one could savor that it was not merely what everyone saw.
Amid the clamorous voices of Immortal Awareness, Qianxuzi sat upright as though asleep, turning a deaf ear to it all. After a brief exchange, the Heavenly Sovereigns discovered that only Shao Zhuoran, Lian Yu, and several other ordinary Celestial Immortals who were disciples of the Dao Ancestor seemed to know. Yet they merely smiled and occupied themselves with other things, such as holding wine cups or tasting immortal fruits, unwilling to reveal even the slightest bit.
Shi Xuan was also quite curious. He turned to look at Kong Ran. Delighted that her husband had cast off most of the burden in his heart, she smiled charmingly when she saw Shi Xuan looking over. "Senior Qianxuzi once helped us, so it would be inconvenient for me to reveal it here. Once we leave, I'll explain it in detail to Fellow Daoist Shi. Mm, it is a very interesting place."
Then she added, "I only happened to learn of it from my father before setting out. It was not something I deliberately concealed before."
Shi Xuan nodded with a smile. "Then once we leave, Shi will listen with washed ears." One thing was certain: the Five Elements Dao Ancestor had intentionally let Kong Ran learn of it. It had not been accidental. A figure like him could never let something slip
