The place remained silent after my declaration as everyone waited for the emperor's reaction.
The man had just had his authority challenged by some new intake into the Spirit Ascension Sect.
His presence challenged so plainly that the remnants of our clash could still be felt in the heavy atmosphere.
Everyone, myself included, was waiting for the man to fly into a—well, imperial rage.
Calling for our heads and whatnot.
Naturally, that would mean another wipeout, but it would be fun nonetheless.
"Staying true to your Dao…" The emperor's quiet mutterings caught my attention as I focused on the man that had suddenly closed his eyes, a serene aura surrounding him as he continued muttering to himself,
"Staying true to your path…" The aura around him deepened as I couldn't help raising a curious brow at the situation.
"Staying true to yourself…" A solemn weight fell upon the world as the man's words finally culminated,
"That's the essence of being a cultivator, huh?"
Hummmmm
