"I think I understand now."
After listening to Elder Zeng's description, Wei Cheng nodded, but did not inquire any further details, which surprised Elder Zeng who was ready to continue speaking for days on end.
Aware that he was previously a Nine Tribulations Immortal with vast knowledge about the secrets of the Immortal World, he was keen to share them to affirm the necessity of his role as the chief minister to the Fairy Monarch.
But since Wei Cheng did not ask, he could not just say it.
However, this seemed like good news. It appeared that Wei Cheng had decided not to activate the Immortal Gate, instead choosing to close off the kingdom, waiting to capitalize on turning events.
This is a good thing.
At least to Elder Zeng, this was beneficial and harmless. The wars in the Immortal World were too brutal, too terrifying, so even a power like Immortal Gou Chen fell victim to schemes, sieges, and, ultimately, death and soul destruction.
