Taiyi smiled.
"Arrogant? No, no, no. Everything is within my grasp!"
He flicked his great sleeves, his robes whipping about in the turbulent Chaos as he lifted his head in a display of supreme arrogance.
"What does it matter if I give you the Donghuang Bell? Once you have matured, I will devour you. Everything you have will be mine—the Donghuang Bell, your Cause and Effect, and even your fate..."
As he spoke, he suddenly leaned in, taking a single step to stand directly before Lu Xuan, and stared intently into his eyes.
"I only hope you don't perish before you've ripened. Don't come to Chaos again. I advise you to take fewer risks like this."
Lu Xuan's brow furrowed deeply.
After a moment, he murmured softly,
"Your confidence... where does it truly come from?"
Taiyi burst into laughter, flicked his sleeve, and turned. He took nine steps, his head held high.
