Arriving before thethat was slightly la up a steep mountain path, he would rarely have to use a crutch
He unco stick, then used both hands to gesture a question: “The Grand Examination should have its result by noonder how junior brother is currently”
Taoist Ji’s countenance was elegant and untainted by the world, his eyes were the sa Seeing the faint hints of worry showing upon Yu Ren’s eyes, he didn’t say anything, but laughed and rubbed Yu Ren’s head
Yu Ren once again gestured a question: “Master, when do we go to the Capital?”
Taoist Ji answered: “When you need to return to the Capital, ill go”
Yu Ren didn’t notice the use of the word “return” when his Master spoke of going to the Capital
This was the Eastern Continent’s e, ns of hu e Theamidst the mists, it would almost seem as if one had left the human realm; how could the people sent by Mo Yu possibly be able to find this ly frequent, there were also faint sights ofpresences appeared; these were likely some extremely powerfulthese grotesque beings that were hidden He lightly frowned and said: “Open the path”
Yu Ren followed the instruction and went forwards, facing the thick mist at the end of thethe end half of his tongue, therefore he couldn’t talk the way a normal person would, but this didn’t mean he couldn’t produce any sounds; all that could be heard was a sharp and forlorn hiss bursting out from between his lips
It resele syllable word that contained limitless amounts of information; this was precisely the saround space for coon Speech
Yu Ren let out a solitary, clear hiss, the hiss broke through the air and entered the cloudy le ripple; yet, at the nextintimidation contained within the hiss, spread out in all directions, froe

At a place even farther away from the Capital, there was a white coloured barren plain Within the centre of this barren plain, there is a city built fro extrerand
Several million people knelt upon the barren plains that were outside of the stone city
Their knees and foreheads, having been in contact for a long ti hot sand that had been heated by the nine suns, gave off the faint sns of pain could be seen upon their faces, only an absolute tranquillity Neither did they let out any sounds, there was only an absolute silence, akin to a peaceful yet terrifying sea; a sea of people
At the fore of this congregation was a platform constructed froreen leaves around its edges,surroundings
Within the centre of the platfor” erected, conveying a strongly religious feeling
Following the prayers of severala faint Holy Radiance
A ious sy the millions of people that were knelt before hi, he should be a religious e of his eyes, but this did nothing to detract fro feature was his eyes, those calm and peaceful eyes contained boundless coaze upon places infinitely distant; gaze upon everything

The black robe flitted in and out of vieithin the furious blizzard, even if one was to stare intently, it would be hard to confirm its position, this lasted until he exited Old Snow City, standing at the glacier on the Southern side
A chill wind blasted through, lifting the bri the side of his face That face was abnormally pale; as if it hadn’t come into contact with the sun for many years; as if he had just recently suffered a serious illness; as if it lacked any warmth at all; evenwith it a sense of death that could cause palpitations
