Karma Venerable, after achieving the Dao, reneged on his own foundational principles, resulting in his self-imprisonment, just like an "Earth-bound Spirit," unable to leave the Mysterious Realm Heaven he established.
Tan Shuchang had known this for a long time.
Yet what he hadn't anticipated was that Karma Venerable couldn't escape the Mysterious Realm Heaven even at his past most powerful moments!
Wasn't this a kind of backlash from heaven and earth?
In an instant, Tan Shuchang's understanding of the phrase "water can float a boat, but it can also sink it" deepened significantly. This made the half-step he had originally taken transform directly into two full steps.
Each individual in the Banhu Realm must traverse a unique path from their first step of cultivation to the second step of being Timeless.
Now with these two steps taken, it meant that only the last step remained for him to become "Timeless."
