Zhang Yan lingered in the Beichen Sect for more than ten days, refining the Star Sword Ball once more. Thereafter, he paid a formal visit to Sect Leader Jiang Lin and several elders of the sect, and then mentioned that he was taking his leave.
In the Beichen Sect, only Elder Yan was a Nascent Soul cultivator. Zhang Yan's cultivation was comparable to his, and he originally wished to invite Zhang Yan to stay a few more days to exchange insights and experiences in cultivation. However, seeing that Zhang Yan was set on leaving, though feeling regretful, he didn't press further.
That day, Zhang Yan bid farewell to everyone and set off to return to the Mountain Gate.
He also knew that the current East Splendor Continent was not as before, with all sects having heightened their vigilance for fear of misunderstandings. Therefore, he did not release the Dragon Carp but instead activated the Sword Ball. Like a rainbow, he tunneled swiftly towards the Zhao You Heavenly Pond.
