He was discovered with Xumi. Even if he wanted to maintain some distance from Martial Uncle Xumi, it was not really possible. It would be somewhat like the pot calling the kettle black. Instead, he decided to directly ask him the question.
Qu Shentong seemed to know something about it, and his face darkened a bit as he said:
"It is still unclear. It's been said that when Xumi returned, his Nascent Soul had nearly collapsed. Fortunately, the Third Elder promptly intercepted the tribulation thunder, delaying his fate for a few days. Now, the Sect Master and several Elders are working on it personally... We hope might have a smooth transition."
Listening to the heaviness in Qu Shentong's tone, Wang Ba was unable to suppress the seriousness in his own heart.
Indeed, the difficulty of breaking through the Nascent Soul to Immortal Ascension was beyond his expectation.
Of course, he never held much hope for Xumi's successful ascension in the first place.
