After they left, a faint, bone-piercing chill still lingered between heaven and earth. Ke Ding's expression was dark, his eyes filled with a dense gloom that could not be dispelled.
Since he had been weak, these people had led him step by step into the abyss, manipulated his immortal path, yet never driven him into a dead end. It was as though they were slowly devouring him, their purpose glaringly obvious.
A thoughtful look appeared in his eyes. Immortal River had come... this was the will of the Boundless Myriad Races.
Even during the Heavenly River turmoil of that year, there had been no need to dispatch Immortal River. The Ten Thousand Clans did not share one will, but the strand of Heavenly Secrets in his hands was related to elevating the Three Thousand Great Worlds. He could neither flee nor hide.
He still wanted to hand that strand of Heavenly Secrets to Chen Xun. If Shi Rong could trust that cultivator, then naturally, so could he.
Moreover, Chen Xun cultivated the Forbidden Immortal Dao. This strand of immortal qi could serve as one of his life-saving trump cards, and he had the strength to bargain with the immortals of the Boundless Great World. Ke Ding did not.
How could he not know that the Myriad Race Immortals were watching what would happen after his death? The Five Elements Sect's later generations would definitely suffer an unimaginable, devastating blow. With this strand of immortal qi's inheritance upon them, they would at least still have a chance to preserve their lineage.
