Morning sunlight streamed through the towering glazed windows of the Worship Hall, casting long patches of light across the floor. Lu Jing and Wang Dong'er had already packed their things and eaten a simple breakfast before heading together to the hall deep within the Worship Hall where Qian Daoliu cultivated in seclusion.
After announcing themselves, the two stepped inside.
Qian Daoliu was still seated cross-legged on a meditation cushion. His gray robe was spotless, and his aura was as vast and deep as the Abyssal Sea. His golden long hair glimmered serenely beneath the morning light.
Hearing their footsteps, he slowly opened his eyes. His golden gaze settled warmly on the two of them, lingering especially on Lu Jing for a moment.
"Great Enshrined." Lu Jing and Wang Dong'er bowed at the same time.
"Mm."
Qian Daoliu's voice was calm, yet it carried the authority of one long accustomed to a high position. "Have you decided?"
Before this, Lu Jing had already told Qian Daoliu about his plans to go out and gain experience.
"Yes."
Lu Jing nodded and replied softly, "Sister Dong'er and I plan to set out today, travel the continent, seek some opportunities, and broaden our horizons."
Qian Daoliu studied Lu Jing for a moment, as though he wished to see something more in his eyes.
Six years had passed. The youth before him had shed his childishness, and his Soul Power had advanced to level forty-eight. He even possessed a soul ring configuration as shocking as one purple and three black.
His thought of having Xue'er spend more time with him had temporarily been set aside because Qian Renxue had gone to Heaven Dou, but his regard for Lu Jing had not diminished in the slightest.
"Very well."
Thinking this, Qian Daoliu slowly nodded in agreement.
