Oblivious to the old woman's thoughts, Yu Xuan was just relieved he hadn't used that talisman against the Devouring Demon. Just imagining what kind of catastrophic aftereffects it might have produced was enough to scramble his mind.
Meanwhile, the old woman had her own considerations.
In the lower realm, the peak power one could achieve was the Immortal Ascension Realm.
Those who anchored themselves or failed their Immortal Ascension Tribulation but survived by sheer luck, could linger at Half-Immortal Realm.
But true half-immortal strength… that was something else entirely. Unless a cultivator was willing to burn their lifespan as fuel, nobody could bring out the full peak of that power in the lower realm.
She herself stood at the peak of Immortal Ascension. The rest of her cultivation was sealed.
Yu Xuan, however, thought the ordeal was finished. He was already preparing to exchange places with Lingluo so he could finally rest.
But the old woman's smile didn't fade.
