Wei He wore a black cloak that wrapped his entire body. His black hair fell over his shoulders, and after cultivating the Overturning Rain Gathering Clouds Technique for so long, his complexion had become somewhat fair and even.
Yet that fairness did nothing to diminish his presence.
His brows were straight and sharp, his nose high-bridged. He was not particularly handsome, but he carried a quiet, deep composure.
His broad, powerful build added an immovable heaviness to him.
Whoosh.
He suddenly leaped into the air, his figure like a flying bird as he continuously borrowed force from the crowns atop the sea of trees.
Wei He raced across the forest canopy as though treading waves.
Ever since he had begun practicing martial arts, what he loved most was this kind of freedom—doing whatever he wished, going wherever his heart took him.
At full speed, he soon crossed the sea of trees. The terrain gradually sloped upward, while the surrounding air steadily grew colder.
In the distance, the upper halves of vast, unbroken mountain ranges were shrouded in snowy white and hazy mist.
From the forest below came the faint, strange cries of beasts and birds.
Rolling thunder sounded from the horizon.
Wei He raised his head toward the sky. Before long, raindrops began to fall, striking his face.
After so many years in this world, this was still the first time his heart had slowly settled into peace. He did not need to consider too much, merely quietly taking in everything around him.
He abruptly came to a stop, standing on a tree branch as thick as a thigh, then lightly dove downward into the forest.
Below the woods, a small cabin stood quietly amid a lush emerald meadow. It was unmistakably Nine Shadow's secluded place of residence and research.
