The Unfolding Path to Success.

Serpent's Spire.

A blood rift tore open, and Yang Wei emerged from it with a new appearance. Glancing around, he noticed there were no disciples in sight, suggesting not much time had passed since he inhabited the body of the late Blood Emperor.

"Hm? Even Feng ran away…"

He shrugged.

It was easy to see that Wu Fengtian always tended to prioritize his own survival above all else. Plus, he wouldn't have forgiven himself if Wu Fengtian had been harmed or, worse, killed during his risky alchemical practices.

RAAWWWRR~~!

Suddenly, Tianyi sprang out of the bushes, stars in his eyes, and leaped onto Yang Wei's face, causing him to stumble.

The little celestial dragon was overjoyed to see his master safe.

"Hah~ Tianyi! Didn't expect you to be this excited to see me. Was I really gone that long?" Yang Wei chuckled, receiving no verbal response from Tianyi.
