Zhou Dinghai left the Nine Spirit Sect the very next day, claiming he didn't want to owe the sect any more favors.
However, Zhou Heng knew that his father's actions were more about not wanting to distract him, so that he could devote all his attention to cultivation. After thinking it over, he didn't try to stop him, not wanting to let his father down.
He buried his feelings for his family deep in his heart and focused his aim solely on improving his cultivation level.
The stray energy provided by the Black Sword had already started its decline. He was certain that this energy was what he had cultivated over the past ten years. Thus, even if he had the same talent as Zhou Dinghai, he feared that this energy would run out once he reached the Ninth Layer of Body Refinement.
If he wanted to continue making rapid progress on the path of cultivation, he had to think of other ways.
Like the Gathering Yuan Pill, like Demon Beast meat!
