「Half a month later.」
At the Wuji Holy Sect, the mountain gates stood as always.
Qi Yun appeared on a familiar path within the Sect. He was travel-worn, yet that could not conceal the divine light gleaming in his eyes.
He had been away for nearly a year.
When he had left the mountain, he was only at the Qi Refining Sixth Layer, ranking among the lowest in the Inner Mansion.
Upon his return, however, he was already a Qi Refining Eighth Layer Cultivator, his Hundred Acupoints all connected and his aura profound and deep.
If word of such cultivation speed got out, it would be enough to leave everyone speechless.
Even the direct scions of so-called Masters would likely pale in comparison.
Upon returning to the Holy Sect, Qi Yun didn't hurry back to his residence, nor did he go to the Task Hall to report on his mission. Instead, he headed straight for the quiet and secluded Cyan Mountain Daoist Temple.
