Perched on a large tree hundreds of meters away from the moat, Mountain God Yue Ling stood shoulder to shoulder with a rugged, taciturn man among the branches, gazing toward the site where the battle had recently taken place.
Both of their expressions were exceptionally heavy.
After about ten minutes of silence, Yue Ling finally broke the stillness. "I am quite certain that the last time I saw that kid, his cultivation had only reached the Golden Core Perfection stage. I truly have no idea what method he used to break through to the Third-Grade Nascent Soul realm in such a short span of time. Such a rate of cultivation, even before the arrival of the Age of Dharma Ending, is something only the most outstanding geniuses of the major sacred grounds could achieve. This forces me to suspect whether this fellow has practiced some sort of evil cultivation technique, exchanging the slaughter of the innocent for such astonishing progress. Otherwise, it is simply difficult to explain how he accomplished such a massive leap in so short a time."
