The Cultivators inside the Ninefold Celestial Treasure Tower were abuzz with discussion.
Outside the Treasure Tower, a door soon opened.
All the Cultivators could now come out. Unlike before, they no longer had to pass the trials of the Nine Heavens to leave.
Everyone gathered in a plaza.
It was then that Xu Lei saw Jue Xuan again.
"Brother Jue Xuan, which Heaven did you reach?" Xu Lei walked over to ask.
After all, back on Earth, the two had studied under the same master for a time, making them martial brothers.
Admittedly, they hadn't spent much time together back then, having only met a handful of times.
That master was one in name only. He hadn't really taught them anything, and he hadn't even ascended himself.
"I was in the Fourth Heaven," Jue Xuan said, glancing at Xu Lei. He didn't shy away from the question.
After all, it seemed they had no conflict of interest between them, at least for now. While their bond on Earth wasn't deep, it was a connection nonetheless.
