The thought of how the sect would react when they find out that he joined the sect as a divine being and is now about to advance to rank 8 in a few months made him start to worry about an impending investigation into his source of growth.
Every bad thing that could happen went through his mind. The worst thing he thought of was that a Dao Lord would come to kill him.
He was still thinking about the worst-case scenario and their contingency plans when he dropped out of the River of Time. The transition from the River of Time to the physical world didn't put an end to his spiraling thoughts, though.
He had disregarded the information that Money Body gave him about the limits of cultivation because it only confirmed what he suspected. But now that he was considering the worst-case scenario, the fact that Dao Lords are actively trying to stop cultivators from growing stronger made his thoughts spiral.
