Chen Shi felt waves of vast and pure spiritual power surging from behind him, like a wall of bronze and iron, shielding him from the front. It blocked the aftershocks of the divine abilities from the two peerless masters, giving him an indescribable sense of security.
Behind him, ancient beings like the Longevity Emperor Lord, Mother Primordial Lord, Sunrise Mountain Hermit, Hermit Shantang, and the old man of the fields appeared one after another. They each used their spiritual power to block the aftershocks for Chen Shi, allowing their employer to watch the battle in peace.
For them, witnessing the battle between the Hooked Array Great Emperor and the Honored Upper Clarity Sect Master was a rare, once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Even if they didn't need to protect their employer, they would have shown themselves to witness this battle. Having cultivated to their realm, the experiences of their predecessors could hardly guide them anymore.
They often had to grope their way forward alone. It was better if they had fellow Daoists to exchange ideas with. If they were disinclined to socialize, they could only study alone, with no way to verify their findings.
