Separate Ways

As days turned into weeks, Wei Long's presence became a source of wisdom and guidance for Ling Tian.

The scholar's stories were not just tales of the past but lessons in strategy, philosophy, and the human spirit.

"Remember, Ling Tian," Wei Long said one evening, "power without wisdom is dangerous. The greatest warriors are those who understand the world and their place in it. They seek not just to conquer but to enlighten and protect."

Ling Tian nodded but disregarded this one lesson.

He realized that his journey was not just about becoming the strongest but about surviving the wrath of the heavens, he can't be soft hearted with his ways if he wants to survive in this cruel world.

Eventually, the time came for Ling Tian and Wei Long to part ways.

They stood at a crossroads, the path ahead leading Ling Tian toward Jade City, while Wei Long's journey took him to ancient forests and forgotten temples.
