The conflict with the Spirit Wood Alliance had concluded half a year ago. Lechuan sent the Cultivators from the five allied sects home after giving each sect a hundred Top-grade Spirit Stones for their assistance.
Situ Jingyu had also returned to her sect. Over the past five or six years, she had fought endlessly, accumulating a considerable fortune through her battle merits.
Coupled with the experience and inspiration she'd gained, Situ Jingyu told Fang Qingyuan before she left that she was very confident she could break through to the Late-stage Foundation Establishment this time.
She hoped that by the next time they met, her cultivation progress would put her a step ahead of Fang Qingyuan. The fact that his realm was currently the same as hers left a sour taste in her mouth.
A slight smile touched Fang Qingyuan's lips as he recalled Situ Jingyu's defiant expression.
"Qingyuan, it's time for you to go."
