On Dushan, Hou Niao took a stroll but didn't see many familiar living people.
Among the twelve Nascent Soul masters, eleven went into seclusion, leaving only Master Wu foolishly leading people to construct houses; but in Hou Niao's eyes, this Master Wu seemed to have high potential to become a True Monarch of the Upper Realm.
There was a sense of returning to simplicity, merging with nature; nature not only referring to the scenery outside but also to the cultivator's heart-following style, not pursuing the Upper Realm for the sake of it. Master Wu now fully embodied this potential.
Li Chuping and Yu Zhengxing, when he left, he didn't see them, and upon return, they were still unseen. In Sword Silence for over a decade, their persistence was impressive.
