A flash of inspiration struck, and he immediately recalled something, exclaiming in understanding:
"So that's it, your Aunt Pan Si's guess wasn't wrong."
"The so-called [Gui Cangzi] should be none other than Master Tian Ling, one of the second-generation ancestors of our Secret Demon Sect."
"I've heard Master mention during sword refining that the actions of Master Tian Ling are indeed beyond ordinary prediction; though they appear reckless, they are actually where his Dao lies."
"If there were no accidents, the elder should have already attained the position of a Tribulation Immortal."
At this point, Yuan Gong finally remembered the serious matter.
He looked at the dense array of books and Secret Books related to the Great Abyss Origin Sea floating before Tao Qian.
With a sly smile, he spoke:
"Master Tao has been carefree and at ease for three years, and now he's thinking of venturing into the Great Abyss seeking the Dao, hence sharpening his spear at the last minute?"
