[Beep! Rest assured, Host—there are absolutely no native cultivators in this world!] "So, who won in the end?"

In a corner of the back mountain, more than a dozen inner sect disciples gathered together, discussing the battle between Yi Changge and Jin Ling'er.

A battle between Foundation Establishment and half-step Foundation Establishment was rare even in the past.

Unfortunately, they had been driven away before the fight began and had not seen the entire battle.

"Who won? Let me tell you, that battle was truly earth-shattering, with heaven collapsing and the earth splitting—"

"Alright, alright, quit throwing idioms around. We're asking how it ended."

A disciple interrupted the long-winded young man and urged him on.

"I have to say, Senior Brother Yi's body cultivation was really something. Relying solely on his physical body, he could stand against Foundation Establishment!"

"Senior Sister Jin was no ordinary person either. Her realm suppression was overwhelming—who knew how much her aura crushed his."

"The two ended in a draw."

The inner sect disciple recounting the battle gave them the final result.

After all that, it was a draw. What a bore!

A full month had passed since the last great battle.

The sect's order was relatively stable, though far fewer higher-ups could be seen walking about these days.

Lin Hao sat before a set of steps, fanning himself with spiritual energy.

Busy with rebuilding the sect, he had only managed to break through to the late stage of Qi Refinement a few days ago, despite having been just a few steps away from it for so long.

It was too hard.

He dared guarantee that there was no one else in this world as miserable as him.

"Are you Lin Hao?"
