"Me?"

Dong Qian had clearly considered the question, so she answered without hesitation.

"I came out here for two reasons: the tomb and Six-Tail. Now I've accomplished both, so of course I want to return to the sect."

"What about you, Junior Brother?"

Ji Yuan put away the flying Sword Embryo before him but did not answer immediately.

His main cultivation technique was the Li Family's Sword Canon. It required him to forge two Sword Embryos in Foundation Establishment Early Stage, three in Foundation Establishment Middle Stage, and four in Foundation Establishment Late Stage.

He had only forged four Sword Embryos so far. Normally, he would need to forge one more before attempting a breakthrough to the late stage.

But his circumstances were not exactly normal.

He had obtained Dong Qian's Heavenly Fox Bliss Method and enjoyed a round of dual cultivation with her.

His cultivation had advanced again, bypassing the requirements of the Sword Canon, and he was now only a step away from Foundation Establishment Late Stage.

Ji Yuan could clearly sense that once he forged another Sword Embryo, his cultivation would break through directly to Foundation Establishment Late Stage.

Although he had only just forged the Bloodslaughter Sword, his cultivation had risen, deepening his understanding of the Sword Canon.

Forging the next Sword Embryo would not be particularly difficult.
