That was the last time they managed to contact Xie Xingchen.
The bit of energy preserved within the Heavenly Repair Stone, after he left the other world, was just enough for that one contact.
After careful consideration from all aspects, the Zhouliu Sect ultimately accepted Qiu Yu's proposal.
Xie Xingchen had already fled, so even if they eradicated Beiming, it wouldn't make any difference. What they truly needed was still in their hands.
Without that unacknowledged Heavenly Wheel, all the elites had to give up and redirect their hopes toward the Heavenly Wheel in Xun Zining's possession, making all sorts of preparations around it.
Xun Zining received the treatment he had dreamt of, with the very best resources of the entire Zhouliu Sect given to him as a priority.
Everything unfolded in line with the course Xie Xingchen foretold.
...
Time flew by like an arrow; a hundred years passed in a flash.
