The Frighteningly Intellectual Senior Brother has Graced the Celestial Sect!

Bai Suzhen was in a pagoda near End Mountain, doing her occasional prayers. She clasped her hands together and bowed her head with great reverence, wearing a peaceful expression. In the pagoda stood a sizable statue of a figure seated in a lotus position, holding a long staff in one hand and a balance scale in the other. This was the Sage of Origin, the true ancestor of the Celestial Serpent Sect.

"A year has passed, and it seems he is due to return soon. Ancestor in heaven, please bless Yang Wei and keep him safe. I also request that you help me find my sister, and your daughter, Hei Xuanji."

With that, Bai Suzhen swished her sleeves and gazed out of the small pagoda, taking in the scenery for a moment. Her cultivation was still at the Nascent Soul level, thanks mostly to all the beast cores she had consumed during her time with Yang Wei and Liu Yan in the Red Snake Mountains.
