Embracing Dao fruits, ascending step by step, thereby possessing the power of gods and saints, transcending the ordinary to achieve holiness.

Moonlight, like flowing water, cascaded onto the path, with a thin white mist fluttering and suddenly parting as if pushed open by an unseen hand.

It was only by doing so that he was able to occupy the Fourth Prince's full attention and, consequently, to succeed in his plan.
