Chapter 1457: That Man
The one who spoke was a young man, seated at the end of the hall. He wore a simple, cloud-colored long robe, and he exuded a calm and ethereal demeanor.
All eyes were on him.
Dao Zangtian was certainly no stranger to this youth. He was the young man of talent he had recruited not long ago, Sui Wuhan.
Dao Zangtian smiled and said, "Wuhan, go on."
The young man named Sui Wuhan stood up and smiled faintly. "The one chosen by Sheng Gujin is definitely no ordinary person. There are two clear indications of this. As everyone knows, the world within the Sea of Life is protected by karmic prohibitions laid down long ago by the Transcendent One.
"Those above cannot descend, and those below have even less chance of ascending. Yet Lady Sheng not only went down, but she even came back up. Have any of you truly considered how terrifying that is?"
Everyone frowned at once as Sui Wuhan continued, "And not only did she come back up, she brought countless living beings with her. In other words, she managed to ignore all the tribulations and karmic consequences of the Myriad Tribulation Starry World.
"And clearly, she doesn't possess that level of power herself. In other words, her ascension must be related to that child."
Everyone's expression darkened.
Dao Zangtian's eyes narrowed into slits.
"So far, it seems Sheng Gujin's descent was a move in a larger game, and her return was another move. The greatest problem we have now is that we don't know if she's playing this game alone or if someone else is pulling the strings.
"And what role does the father of the child in her belly play in all this? A pawn or a player?"
