Hei Shan.
Chu Ning left the valley and returned to Hei Shan.
In front of Chu Ning lay the ancient stele he brought back from the secret realm within the valley.
The stele was simple in design, and its material was nothing special, just ordinary stone. However, the symbol on the stele, resembling but not quite a character, intrigued Chu Ning.

Jin Family.
Jin Zhian was momentarily taken aback upon hearing his disciple's report that Elder Ji sought an audience. Elder Ji had spent fifteen years at Hei Shan, and this was his first time coming down the mountain.

"Has Elder Ji achieved a breakthrough during his seclusion?"
