He has a master!

If there's something he doesn't understand, the master can help him decide, and perhaps things that he doesn't recognize might be recognized by his well-informed master?

With this in mind, Wang Lin got up and went to Ziwei Star.

"Oh, it's Little Lin, what a coincidence, the master has just gone into seclusion to recover after the recent battle. You won't be able to meet him today."

Wang Lin: "..."

"Sorry to trouble Senior Dugu."

Before Ziwei Star, looking at Sword Demon Dugu's apologetic face, Wang Lin showed a bitter smile.

It's been seven or eight years since he became a disciple, yet during these years, he's only seen his master less than ten times.

Is this detachment from the mundane world the reason for his master's rapid cultivation progress?

"No problem, I will inform the master when he exits seclusion. You can visit again in a week," Sword Demon responded with a smile.

He quite liked this kid Wang Lin.

With a background similar to his own, Wang Lin's talent and temperament are not much different. If he hadn't already become the master's disciple, Sword Demon might have considered taking him as a disciple when he saw Wang Lin.

As for that legendary little green bottle Wang Lin carries.

To Sword Demon, it was useless.

Yes, the little bottle can accelerate the time inside it.

But a person's lifespan is limited.

If you start using the bottle to cultivate at ten, after a year, people outside have only aged a year, but you've already grown into an adult.

Perhaps it won't be long before your former friends start their cultivation in the sect, and although your cultivation has improved slightly, you will be close to old age and approaching death.

Such an item, what use does it have to most people?

Now, Sword Demon didn't see the need to rapidly improve his cultivation in a short time, so why put his limited lifespan into that little bottle?

With this thought, Sword Demon watched Wang Lin's departing figure, his eyes involuntarily filled with some pity.

"Poor child."

...

If Wang Lin, in Sword Demon's eyes, was a child without a childhood.

Then Little Stone in the eyes of everyone on Ziwei Mountain undoubtedly replaced the presence of Chen Zhixing's own child.

The tyrant of Ziwei Mountain!

That's what they called him.

Shi Hao is now ten years old, eating well, sleeping well, and having enough resources, he's grown into nearly a young bull!

Compared to his peers, he's tall and strong. Without an introduction, no one would believe that this boy, nearly seven feet tall, would be just ten years old.

"You, you, you, I'm calling you, don't run!"

In the forests of Ziwei Mountain, Shi Hao was chasing a black Demon Tiger in the True Self Realm, running wildly through the woods.

He didn't use any techniques, relying solely on his physical strength.

After a quarter of an hour, the black tiger, panting heavily, was pinned down by Shi Hao, looking desperately at the sky.

Oh heavens, please let someone take this little demon king away.

Seeing the black tiger no longer struggle, Shi Hao contentedly grabbed a handful of the tiger's fur, burying his head in its mane, taking several deep sniffs, his face showing an expression of enjoyment.

"Hehehe, Little Black Cat, be good. I told you not to run, just let me sniff a few times, it's not like it'll kill you."

"Wuuu..."

"I know you're scared, I'm scared too. Five days ago, master caused such a commotion, like an immortal descending to the mortal realm..."

"Wuuu...."

"Who wouldn't be? The lightning was roaring, the mountain-like Dharma Body, and that True Monarch named Yimiao sounds terrifying."

"..."

What exactly are you talking about? I'm telling you to let me go!

The now impure black tiger's eyes were filled with despair.

It is a tigress!!!

Doesn't this two-legged creature understand the concept of male and female modesty?

After what this two-legged creature did, how can it ever find a male tiger now?

It's over, it'll never marry....

"Hehehehe...."

Shi Hao was enjoying inhaling the tiger's scent when he heard what seemed like someone calling his name in the distance.

Shi Hao's ears twitched, and a smile appeared on his face.

"Be good, my master mother is calling me. You go play first, I'll come find you again later."

Black Tiger: "???"

As the black tiger lifted its nearly two-zhang tall body, where was Shi Hao's figure in the surroundings?

...

"Stone? Little Stone?"

"Master mother, I'm back!"

"You child, where did you wander off to? Look how dirty you are!"

In the small courtyard, Xu Qingqing looked at Shi Hao, who jumped in from outside the courtyard, and couldn't help but nag a bit.

Her own son had been sent to the Northern Domain by her husband, leaving her with an abundance of maternal love to shower upon Shi Hao over the past few years.

And Shi Hao was genuinely a good child.

"Hehehe, no, master mother, I went to the back mountain to cultivate. Just now, I even disciplined Black Tiger Venerable, telling it not to bully other small animals in the future..."

Speaking, Shi Hao walked into the courtyard and picked up a jade bowl from the stone table, taking a sip.

"Ah, master mother's Cyan Plum Soup tastes really good. Drinking a bowl makes me feel refreshed."

"If you like it, drink more." Xu Qingqing was very pleased with the compliment.

Once Shi Hao finished almost all the fruits and snacks on the table, she spoke again, "When you're done eating, take your senior brother to Ziwei Star to see your master."

"Master has exited seclusion?" Shi Hao's eyes lit up upon hearing this.

"Yes, he has. Sword Demon said that after this seclusion, your master gained some insights and plans to guide you," Xu Qingqing hinted at some dissatisfaction in her words.

Shi Hao didn't notice. Hearing that his master had exited seclusion, he put down his bowl and chopsticks and ran outside.

Five days ago, the great Dharma Body his master created had made him extremely envious. Now that his master was out of seclusion, he was determined to ask about the cultivation of that Dharma Body!

"Master mother, I'm going to find senior brother. Tell the Matriarch not to save a portion of dinner for me!"

"This child!"

...

A quarter of an hour later, at Ziwei Star.

Now with the senior and junior brothers almost the same height, they cautiously entered from the outside.

Uh.

Wang Lin walked steadily, with Little Stone behind him shrinking back, as if there were demons and monsters in Ziwei Star that would eat him.

Shi Hao's demeanor earned him a glare from Wang Lin.

"Junior brother! What are you doing!"

"Hehehe..."

Being scolded, Shi Hao straightened up and walked beside Wang Lin.

As they walked inside, he started muttering softly.

"Senior brother, this is my first time here, besides, didn't you always tell me that inside Ziwei Star, master's place, are demons and monsters? They are not only bizarre but also all in the Peak Realm. As a junior brother with shallow cultivation, I must be careful..."

"This is the place of cultivation for our master, what demons and monsters would dare harm you...."

"I'm not afraid they'll harm me; I'm afraid they'll look scary!"

"..."

Wang Lin didn't speak, choosing to quicken his pace.

To be honest, Wang Lin also felt a bit afraid of this Ziwei Star courtyard, as the last time he came, everything in the courtyard left a deep impression on him.

However, this time around, the courtyard seemed empty.

Though in some corners, he could still see some of the large demons crouching, but his master's Thought Incarnations were nowhere to be seen, for some reason.

Has master broken through again?

With this thought, Wang Lin and Little Stone arrived before Ziwei Heng Palace.

They stood.

Bowed.

Wang Lin's voice echoed strangely in the silence of the surroundings.

In the strange quiet, a reply came echoing around.....

An echo...No, it didn't seem like an echo?

In an instant, Wang Lin, with his Divine Sense expanded, fixed his gaze on a large rat curled up within a rockery.

The rat, as if remembering something, shut its mouth in dissatisfaction and lay there motionless once more.
