Fulfillment and Regret

Ye Xiu opened his eyes, his Violet Palace already formed.

The sky around them had not changed in the slightest. Even the temporary protective formations they had set up had only just lost a single outer layer.

Clearly, this breakthrough had taken even less time than expected.

Seeing that the Alliance cultivators before him and True Person Huai Jin were still deep in their intense comprehension, Ye Xiu relaxed and stood guard for them.

Three days later.

True Person Huai Jin let out a long breath of turbid air and opened his eyes.

At the instant his eyes opened, golden radiance flashed through them.

"Fellow Daoist Huai Jin truly possesses extraordinary talent."

Before True Person Huai Jin could sense the changes in himself, he heard a teasing voice from beside him.

"They say that the greater one's talent, the longer one remains in comprehension."

"The Alliance's elites who came this time have all tried it. Even the longest-lasting among them only barely exceeded a day and a half. That is already respectable when spoken of, but compared to True Person, it is nothing at all."

A trace of helplessness flickered across True Person Huai Jin's face when he heard this.

"Brother Mo, there is no need to hold such a grudge, is there? Even if my attitude toward you was somewhat presumptuous before, it was for our shared interests."

"I trust you would not wish to see the Alliance's young men suffer such grievous casualties either."

Ye Xiu scratched his head, feeling as though he had heard those words somewhere before. Still, what True Person Huai Jin said was indeed true.

The Alliance's elite cultivators were all crucial pieces of Ye Xiu's future blueprint.

The young elites who could be selected were all beings of unshakable will and exceptional talent.
