The National Preceptor's Residence.
A figure suddenly appeared at the entrance.
It was Jiang Ning.
He looked up at the residence's towering courtyard walls ahead.
Previously, he had noticed nothing unusual. Now, he could clearly see invisible formations enveloping the National Preceptor's Residence.
The formations interlocked, their workings profoundly intricate.
An instinctive feeling told him that, if fully activated, these formations could pose a considerable threat to him.
I haven't even formed my Primordial Spirit, yet so much has already changed. Taking this step was indeed the right choice! he thought.
Ever since leaving Yang Lake Grotto-Heaven, he had felt different from before in every respect.
Even heaven and earth seemed different, as though he were seeing them from another perspective-a wholly new one.
He stood higher now, and could see more of what had once escaped him.
He knew these changes came from his soul entering the Dao embryo and completing the Ninefold Profound Transformation.
And this was before his soul had fully broken free of the embryo to attain the realm of a Primordial Spirit Immortal.
Once he succeeded, the changes would be greater still.
The next moment.
He climbed the steps before the National Preceptor's Residence and raised his knuckles to knock lightly.
Knock, knock, knock-
The knocking carried into the National Preceptor's Residence.
He could still enter the residence directly, just as he had when he first arrived in the Royal Capital.
But he did not do so. Instead, he stood before the door and waited quietly for a response.
Doing otherwise would be both discourteous and disrespectful.
Only a moment passed.
Hurried, distinct footsteps sounded behind the door.
They were clearer than on any previous visit.
Merely listening, he could sense the air behind the door being disturbed by the figure hurrying toward him.
