In the small cavern plaza, Elder Wu stared at Wang Ping's youthful face, slightly lost in thought. It felt like only an instant had passed, yet Wang Ping had already reached the Third Realm, a height Elder Wu himself might never attain in his lifetime.
This stirred a hint of regret within him. He, too, had taken a liking to Wang Ping back then and wanted him as a disciple, but he hadn't wanted to lose face by competing with Yu Cheng Taoist.
Guangxuan was struck even more profoundly. He recalled that the first time he saw Wang Ping, the other was just a boy in the Qi Cultivation Stage. Back then, Qianmu Temple had to rely heavily on Sanhe Temple. Yet it felt as if he had only emerged from seclusion twice, and now Wang Ping had become one of the most powerful Cultivators in all of Nanlin Road.
