The present-day Qiu Changtian, though a cultivator at the Golden Core Realm, is a critically important "major figure" of the Kunlun Sect.
If he only moved about within the Kunlun Mountain Range, it would be fine; but going outside, he definitely had to report to the Ziwei Sect Leader.
Qiu Changtian and Xu Yinglian came to the Scripture Lecture Hall in Jade Void Palace and mentioned their plans to go out for training to the Ziwei Sect Leader.
The Ziwei Sect Leader pondered in silence, an idea subconsciously flashing through his mind:
Why does he want to go out again?
Then he quickly realized: The three stages of the Golden Core Realm—Soul Storing, Root Seeking, and Obscure Weave—represent cultivation of divine sense, body, and soul, respectively.
