While Yuan Ming was concentrating on his cultivation, Wu Yu and the Giant Tree King also arrived at the six hundredth step in succession.
Yuan Ming opened his eyes to glance at Wu Yu and the Giant Tree King, and then closed them again.
Seeing this, Wu Yu and the Giant Tree King were curious but dared not disturb him, each receiving their rightful rewards from the old man Qing Xu.
Just as they hesitated whether to proceed alone and continue climbing, Yuan Ming suddenly opened his eyes, stood up, and looked at the two.
"For the path ahead, I plan to go alone. Please stop here," Yuan Ming said with a calm and firm tone, leaving no room for negotiation.
Upon hearing this, Wu Yu looked at Yuan Ming without much change in expression, whereas a flicker of anger and surprise passed through the Giant Tree King's eyes.
"Wan Tianren, what do you mean by this?" the Giant Tree King asked angrily.
"Just the literal meaning, please stop here," Yuan Ming replied indifferently.
