The imminent threat posed by the Seeking Truth Treasure Mirror forced Zhou Yang to alter his original plan and remain in Donghua Immortal City.
He now realized that a century ago he was able to escape unscathed because Master Tongxuan, who possessed this treasure, was coincidentally away from the Donghua Continent Cultivation Realm, traveling far away.
In fact, Ling Chao had made the decision to help him back then because he knew this information.
Now that Master Tongxuan had returned to the Donghua Continent Cultivation Realm after his journey, Zhou Yang could no longer afford to take chances.
Thus, on Ling Chao's recommendation, he accompanied him to Donghua Immortal Mountain and met the Palace Master of Donghua Immortal Palace, Ling Zixu.
A century ago, when Zhou Yang fled from the Donghua Continent Cultivation Realm, he had once seen an avatar of Ling Zixu.
