"You guys go ahead and get busy. I'll practice here for a little while longer before I get to work too," Gu Yu said, preparing to begin her own training.

"We only managed to discover a storage function within the Human Sovereign's Imperial Seal. After you returned, we activated the seal and retrieved Elder Dao the Third's corpse from it. We didn't pay much attention to it at the time, but later, when we heard Feng Xiaoling and the others mention it, Elder Dao the Third's entire body of bones had been pulverized at the time of his death," Huo Dong said.

So that was how it was. I fell silent. Truly, why did I have to ask that final sentence, making her sad all over again?

Its connection seemed to transcend the spiritual realm, yet I could not articulate what medium was used to transmit such a bond.

The combined might of the seven system characters possessed an incomparably overwhelming momentum capable of annihilating the Void-Stepping Ninth Transformation and threatening giant-level powerhouses at the Vast Heaven Realm tier.
