The old man wore a bright crane robe, looking unlike Ning Yunmiao in his hemp clothes and straw sandals. He sat solemnly on the periphery of a sphere of light, rotating naturally in a certain rhythm.
It gave Song Yan the impression that the "Lower Realm" was a star system, and the old man a "satellite."
The arrival of Ning Yunmiao did not prompt the old man to make way.
He merely opened his eyes slightly.
Ning Yunmiao said, "Elder He, I have brought my junior for the placement of his Lifebound Secret Realm."
"Lifebound Secret Realm?" Elder He looked up at Song Yan, saying, "This Lower Realm is entirely composed of the Lifebound Secret Realms, the Lifebound Worlds, of our Sword Palace disciples. They are complex and intertwined, with the weak succumbing to the strong among them.
I oversee this place, but as long as nothing that defies the Heavenly Dao occurs, and no demonic threats to the entire Lower Realm emerge, I remain uninvolved and do not interfere.
