"Senior Brother Liu, there is something I must report to you."
Atop the Martial Courtyard's summit within the White Cloud Sect, a man sat cross-legged on a large rock, facing the rising sun, casting a long, straight silhouette, while another man stood behind him, speaking respectfully.
The seated man was none other than Liu Shixuan, the unsurpassed prodigy of the White Cloud Sect, a direct disciple of Bao Dongsheng.
He stepped into the Soul Nurturing stage at twenty, reached the second stage at twenty-two, the third at twenty-four, and now at twenty-seven, he was already at the fourth.
Each breakthrough he made set a record in the White Cloud Sect, unparalleled by his predecessors.
The sect's disciples were saying that if Bao Dongsheng could live another thirty years, then it was very likely that Liu Shixuan would inherit the position of Sect Master.
—Even without that, the position of the third generation Sect Master would definitely belong to him.
