Xu Mu left the large cauldron he was working with and moved towards the gargantuan Divine Cauldron at the center.
The crowd, who were focused in contemplation with their eyes closed, immediately opened their eyes upon hearing the footsteps. They couldn't understand what Xu Mu was up to this time.
By now, they were genuinely scared; if Xu Mu messed up, they might all get dragged down with him:
If they were kicked out, they wouldn't know how to explain to the people behind them.
Fortunately, Xu Mu only went to the center to observe the text on the Divine Cauldron and didn't do anything else, which put their minds at ease.
They were just confused. After all this time, why hadn't this guy given up? Had he really figured something out?
"Hmph! I'd like to see how long you can keep this up!"
Murong Shun thought disdainfully.
After Xu Mu had previously shown him up, he had thoroughly developed a dislike for him.
