「A moment ago.」
While the play of "True and False Artifact Spirits" unfolded at the Starry Sky Temple, Wu Wang was fully immersed in the quest for Enlightenment.
Wu Wang did not know that his mother was undergoing a rather severe trial. The Heaven Palace had made a move without warning. Using the fluctuation of Heaven and Earth in the North Sea as an excuse, they barged into the Star God's domain. When there was no response from the Star God, they stormed into her temple.
Naturally, Wu Wang also had no idea that his mother was fully focused, continuously influencing the spiritual minds of the six Sun Ritual practitioners. Even the old woman who subsequently appeared was a puppet she had meticulously cultivated.
