False Di Tian was in fairly good condition. He had entered the Great Vehicle Realm, yet he still could not make out the Ominous Immortal's face.
As for his own ancestor, he hid himself far too deeply—deep enough to deceive heaven and earth, returning to simplicity. One could never sense the slightest immortal majesty from him. But the most likely reason was still that the old man had sacrificed himself to the Dao.
The Ominous Creature cupped his hands in salute and said respectfully, "Dao Ancestor."
"Take a look at this one," Chen Xun said casually. "I know you have studied Dao essence deeply, but do not hurt him."
The Ominous Creature nodded lightly. Secretly investigating every detail within a Five Elements Sect Disciple's body was a great sect taboo, a crime tantamount to espionage. He had always been quite honest and never so much as touched such forbidden ground.

False Di Tian also lowered all the defenses within his body and accepted the examination. His conduct had always been open and aboveboard.
That was the benefit of laying matters out in the open. Everyone could understand one another, avoiding needless suspicion and a façade of harmony masking estrangement. Such a practice could never be allowed to grow within the Five Elements Sect.
