Perhaps it was the act of divulging his past that lightened Wang Daozhi's mood considerably, at least it wasn't as oppressive as before.
As for Li Zhirui, once he had heard it, he cast it to the back of his mind, not placing any importance on it, as he was yet unable to empathize truly.
"How much farther to the stone tower?" Li Zhirui spoke up, breaking the silence between them.
Wang Daozhi performed a simple divination and came up with an approximate distance, "Over two hundred li."
A hint of joy appeared in Li Zhirui's eyes, for such a distance was only a matter of moments for them, and if nothing unexpected occurred, they could enter the stone tower and begin their trial immediately!
"Fellow Daoist, be careful, the last stretch is the most dangerous!" Wang Daozhi cautioned, "I once read records about The Secret Realm of Wanxian in the Great Profound Sect's Scripture Pavilion, stating that the closer one gets to the stone tower, the more cultivators lie in ambush."
