He hesitated ever so slightly in his gaze,
because the words he left unsaid were only partly true; he had been drawn by Dongdong's innate talent for Sword Dao, yet that was merely one of the possibilities. There was another reason he might have come—for the realm of his True Immortality.

To swim against the tide of the Long River of time was not to engage in strife.
His purpose was to transform himself, to forge an unobstructed pathway for his journey towards the ultimate mastery of Heaven's Authority, and in doing so, free himself from the gaze of some being within the Banhu Realm.
Tan Shuchang took the initiative to steer clear of conflict, and thus those True Immortals of Heaven's Authority's Righteous Law who descended upon hearing the rumors, found nothing for their efforts.
