Under Chu Feng's guidance, it didn't take long before the two pills were successfully refined.
"Taishi Xingzhong, watch carefully. If there's a problem you fail to spot, don't blame me for being impolite."
The Heaven Firmament Immortal Sect Master didn't consume the pill himself but instead had Taishi Xingzhong, hidden in the shadows, observe carefully.
"Rest assured, Sect Master."
"Though Chu Feng's formation is extraordinary, it's not so devious that I wouldn't be able to see through any tricks."
"After all, I am now a True Dragon peak-rank Spirit World Master, merely a step away from the Heavenly Dragon rank."
Taishi Xingzhong was brimming with confidence.
Chu Feng's formation may have been mysterious, but he had absolute faith in his own abilities.
He believed everything was within his control.
"Will you accompany me, then?" the Heaven Firmament Immortal Sect Master asked through a secret transmission.
Upon hearing this, Taishi Xingzhong's expression immediately changed. "Sect Master, this subordinate would rather not go. After all, if that Bloodline Formation truly possesses overwhelming power, I wouldn't be prepared for it."
"Look at how cowardly you are."
The Heaven Firmament Immortal Sect Master scoffed with a cold laugh. He was merely teasing Taishi Xingzhong and had no real intention of bringing him along.
With Long Lin, there might still be room for exploitation.
And Taishi Xingzhong was a chess piece he had planted beside Long Lin.
As long as Long Lin remained useful, there was no need to reveal his hand.
Having made his decision, the Heaven Firmament Immortal Sect Master performed a hand seal and sent out a signal to notify Long Lin.
At that moment, Long Lin was inside the Ancestral Dragon Forbidden Ground, making preparations together with the Totem Dragon Clan Chief and the others.
Upon suddenly receiving the message from the Heaven Firmament Immortal Sect Master, his expression turned grim.
"Just as I expected. After freeing himself from the Divine Era, he came straight here," Long Lin sighed.
"The Heaven Firmament Sect Master has arrived?" the Totem Dragon Clan Chief asked.
The other elders grew tense as well.
Though they had considerable confidence in the Bloodline Formation, they didn't fully understand the Heavenly God realm.
That was a completely different tier of power altogether.
So they couldn't be entirely certain that this battle would end in their favor.
"He should have already arrived."
"Even the messages he sends are more powerful now. The Heavenly God realm… truly an astounding level," Long Lin said bitterly.
In the past, he hadn't feared the Heaven Firmament Immortal Sect Master.
But once the Heaven Firmament Immortal Sect Master had stepped into the Heavenly God Realm, Long Lin had lost all ability to stand against him.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have resorted to the Bloodline Formation's power.
"Then what should we do now? Do we lure him straight in and activate the formation?"
"Or should we find a way to stall for time and wait for the Supreme Elders to arrive before making arrangements?" the Totem Dragon Clan Chief asked.
They had already notified other powerhouses to come here and jointly activate the Bloodline Formation.
But it would take time for those powerhouses to arrive, so now was indeed not the optimal moment to activate the formation.
"You've dealt with that old scoundrel from the Heaven Firmament Sect longer than I have. You should understand his character."
"Since he's come today, his goal is clear—either he executes me directly…"
"Or he'll head straight for the Ancestral Dragon Lord's remains and use me to gain control of this place."
"And the location he arranged to meet me is at the entrance to the Ancestral Dragon Forbidden Ground."
"So his goal is certainly not to deal with me, but to reach the Ancestral Dragon Lord's remains."
"We don't have time," Long Lin said.
"Then what if you just don't go out? We could hide in here," one of the Totem Dragon Clan elders suggested.
This was one of the most important forbidden grounds of the Totem Dragon Clan. Not only did it have defensive formations laid down by their ancestors, but those formations were also quite powerful.
But before Long Lin could respond, the Totem Dragon Clan Chief shook his head.
"The defensive formations here have long degraded over time. They could block a True God without issue, but whether they can withstand a Heavenly God is uncertain."
"Besides, even if we don't go out, what about the people outside?"
