Zhou Xuan fabricated this lie to maintain the mystique of the Blood Well Society.
How is mystique created?
By being mysterious and ambiguous enough so that the members can't discern the identity of the "High Priest," allowing the mystique to grow—this will help the Blood Well Society attract more members in the future.
"I will have to arrange an identity for Zhou Xuan in the future." Zhou Xuan aimed his plans at himself.
...
"Indeed, the Heavenly Venerate is omnipresent and omnipotent."
After reporting to Zhou Xuan, Ah Wang said to Li Liuyun, "Zhou Xuan has stripped Li Jiumu's new soul, and the High Priest sent someone to negotiate... But that's Zhou Xuan."
This move by Zhou Xuan and Yuan Buyu profoundly shook Ah Wang's soul.
A Great Elder of seven Incenses... With a snake dream generated by the Dream Law, Zhou Xuan easily generated a dream within a dream,
Li Jiumu, with such high incense fire, didn't even survive one round in Yuan Buyu's dream.
