Beneath the flickering rage and fury,
Xie Xuanyi saw the "sorrow" in the Venerable's eyes...
His most accomplished disciple,
had his arm severed,
his Heart Lake destroyed,
and for the rest of his life, he likely had no hope of ascending to the Yang God Realm.
Up until now, Prince Jiu was just a hairbreadth away from completing his "inquiry into the Tao," and the Peacock Venerable had even prepared all the offerings needed for the ascension, just waiting for his beloved disciple to finish his inquiry before ascending!
"Hum..."
A low hum arose from the center of Prince Jiu's brow.
Under the Peacock Venerable's mental guidance, the Five-Colored Divine Furnace slowly emerged; it was the top-tier Secret Treasure he had given to his disciple to help him cross the Yang God Tribulation.
Now, the divine furnace was deformed and cracked from the battle.
"It's not my fault."
