Soon after, Zhen Yuan opened the formation and Sima Ling entered the cave.
"Fellow daoist Zhen, Junior brother Shen, it's been a long time." Sima Ling greeted the two.
"Sit." Zhen Yuan said and Sima Ling did as asked.
After that, Shen Xu poured tea and the three exchanged pleasantries before Zhen Yuan changed the subject.
"You have succeeded." He stated and Sima Ling nodded but he didn't look happy.
"Aren't you happy?" Shen Xu asked.
After the formations challenge, Sima Ling wanted to buy the array map of the heavenly inferno formation from Zhen Yuan.
However, Zhen Yuan refused to sell the map but instead challenged Sima Ling to improve his own map within ten years.
"I have succeeded but my improved formation is still not as good as senior Zhen's." Sima Ling said and Shen Xu chuckled in amusement.
"Senior brother Sima, you and Ayuan are in the same cultivation realm." He stated but Sima Ling shook his head.
