It wasn't just the Taoist Immortals who were astonished, even the residents of Mount Ling stared in disbelief at the Arhat who dared to speak such bold words. This was an Imperial Decree from the origins, before which even Tathagata would respectfully yield. Yet, this mere Arhat dared to speak so recklessly.
White Crane Boy glanced lightly at the ignorant Arhat and gently shook the Imperial Decree in his hand. A burst of light immediately shone upon the Arhat, who began to visibly shrink at a pace visible to the naked eye. It seemed as though time was flowing backward on his body, and in a short while, he transformed back into a crying infant.
The crowd watched this scene in amazement. It was not just a simple rejuvenation; time itself had reversed for the Arhat, who was now completely transformed into a child. The personality forged through his later years had completely vanished. In a sense, the Arhat of the past was now dead, replaced by a naive and ignorant toddler.
