On the west side of the cliff opposite the Dao's Palace, there stood a luxurious palace within a flat area of barren woods. This palace was the campsite of Fang Xing. Over seven or eight days, the cultivators from various clans had developed a profound disregard for the Foundation Establishment chief of the Hentian Clan. They all used the time before the ninth month ascended to study the Gate of the Foremost Perils for extra security, or they gathered to share analyses of the Supreme Dao Palace, prepared for any surprise, except for the chief of the Hentian Clan.
That scoundrel genuinely treated this as an outing for leisure. Ever since arriving at the gates of the Supreme Dao Palace, he never showed up, occasionally sending a Golden Core Servant to inquire about the progress of the others, feigning interest in their development, and doing nothing else.
