Several days later.
Wei Tianxing sat cross-legged atop a great Spirit Wood tree. The branches, like a canopy, lit up with emerald-green radiance from top to bottom, enveloping all the space above and below. The air was filled with a vigorous, flourishing aura of life.
That day's crushing defeat had evidently dealt Wei Tianxing no small blow.
Yet while recovering from his injuries over the past few days, he had also recovered from that setback.
"Sure enough, beneath a great reputation there is no hollow name. To think he could reach such a level—I had been far too arrogant before!"
"Still, one day, I will surpass you!"
A flash of green light suddenly gleamed in Wei Tianxing's eyes, and boundless confidence surged from within him.
As a genius under Daoist Tongmu, he naturally had his own foundation.
Although that fellow named Zhang Qingyuan was immensely powerful, and was also the Sect's publicly acknowledged talent of the next generation,
Wei Tianxing had not come this far only to admit defeat so easily.
He had his own trump cards!
His fingers twitched slightly. Feeling a certain item within his Storage Ring, Wei Tianxing brimmed with confidence.
Suddenly,
His brows stirred.
His gaze looked towards the front.
"Who is it?"
His brows furrowed slightly, and his expression grew vigilant.
As his words fell, the space ahead rippled, and a figure stepped out from within it.
The figure landed lightly on another big tree more than twenty zhang away, then gave Wei Tianxing a slight bow.
"Greetings, Daoist Friend Wei!"
The newcomer spoke unhurriedly.
"I am Si Jiu. At the request of Senior Disciple Brother Gongsun Lan, I have come to discuss the opening of the Divine Wood Secret Realm with Senior Brother Wei this Time."
"Gongsun Lan?"
Wei Tianxing seemed to recall something.
