Upon hearing this,
Gray Light bloomed strangely in the Ominous Creature's pupils. He cupped his fists and lowered his head. "Yes, Dao Ancestor."
He asked no questions and said no more. He handled it quite well.
Chen Xun could not help but give the Ominous Creature another look. Dressed in coarse hemp cloth, he looked as though he were wrapped in a burial shroud... but after three days apart, one ought to look upon someone with new eyes.
This brat was becoming more and more tactful. After all, who would not like a creature so decisive and loyal?
"Looks like scolding you more over the years did have its benefits." Chen Xun smiled, then turned his gaze back to Primordial Chaos Protecting Mountains and Rivers.
Though it was clearly river water, it reflected none of the scenes of heaven and earth within the mountain range. Instead, it seemed to stand apart from this world, its ripples glittering.
"Good stuff..."
Chen Xun sighed softly, the Primordial Chaos River water flooding half the Mountain Protecting River canal reflected in his eyes.
"Dao Ancestor." The Ominous Creature spoke in a low voice, interrupting Chen Xun's thoughts. He took the initiative to say, "But I cannot enter the Primordial Chaos River."
Once he finished speaking, his features became even more eerie and fierce. Big Black Ox glanced at him. This was how the brat looked whenever he was restless and uneasy.
Over the years, Big Black Ox had come to understand every movement and expression of the Ominous Creature, while the latter had also begun to understand Big Black Ox's little gestures.
“Third Sister is now undergoing Dao Attainment within the source of the Primordial Chaos River. When she knocks upon the immortal gate, you will have a chance to step into this river.”
