Whoosh...
He Pingsheng followed He Yuqing, the two streaking across the blue sky after the heavy snow as streams of light. Before long, they arrived in the Five Elements Immortal Sect's reception hall!
"Your son, He Tianya, pays his respects, Father!"
Thud...
The instant he saw He Pingsheng, He Tianya dropped to his knees and bowed.
He Pingsheng nodded, struggling to suppress the surge within him. "Good, good... good boy. Get up!"
He Tianya rose.
He was handsome and rugged, having inherited more of his looks from his mother, Su Zhenzhen.
He had now spent ten thousand years weathering the trials of the Immortal Realm. His face was full of resolve, he stood a little taller than He Pingsheng, and he carried himself with a thoroughly manly bearing.
His cultivation was nothing to scoff at either. He had actually reached the third layer of the golden immortal stage!
"Wonderful... wonderful..."
He Pingsheng could not help nodding in admiration. He reached out and gave his son's shoulder several firm pats. "You've done well, lad. You reached the golden immortal realm all on your own!"
"Yes!" He Tianya said. "I was rather fortunate. After ascending, I arrived right here in Li Mu Enclosure and joined a major sect of our Human Race. I grew within the sect all along and later became an elder's disciple, so my cultivation merely went relatively smoothly!"
"But why didn't you ascend to the same place as me, Father?"
Back in the Spirit Realm, He Pingsheng had personally taken He Tianya to the Heavenly King Mountain Ascension Platform to ascend. The two had agreed to ascend to the same place in the future, and He Tianya had selected the ten-thousand-eight-hundredth ascension destination behind the Linking Heavenly Stele.
That was why He Tianya was now questioning his father.
