"Forget it. No point overthinking it. Let's go."
Qin Yan stopped puzzling over the purpose behind the announcement. He sprang from his bed, pushed open the stone door of his Cave Dwelling, and stepped outside.
He was going to find Huang Jiuli—the proud little Phoenix had also qualified to enter the Cangwu Small World.
Huang Jiuli's Cave Dwelling was not far from his. Before long, he stood before its entrance, which was shrouded in a scarlet-gold flame Formation.
Patterns of Phoenix True Fire seemed to flow across its walls. A scorching, sacred aura filled the air, nourishing even the spiritual plants by the path until they grew exceptionally lush.
No sooner had Qin Yan stopped than the stone door opened on its own, and Huang Jiuli stepped out.
She was as valiant as ever, scarlet-gold fire dancing in her phoenix eyes.
"Qin Yan, congratulations. Both your Qi Refining and Body Refining have reached Mid-Stage Grandmaster," Huang Jiuli said.
"Congratulations to you too." Qin Yan smiled.
Her aura was far stronger than it had been two months ago. Clearly, the little Phoenix had gained plenty during her time at the Temple of Time.
"Qin Yan, the Holy Land really does value you."
Huang Jiuli sighed with a hint of envy.
When she learned that the Holy Land had made an exception and sent Qin Yan to cultivate at the Temple of Time, she had been green with envy.
The Mystic Sanctuary had more than one Top Grade Dao Field in the Temple of Time. The flow of time in the Myriad Laws Palace alone far surpassed that of the Yin Family's Dao Field. They were not even on the same level.
"It was all right. I also went to the Sea of Time," Qin Yan added casually.
Huang Jiuli's expression froze.
