Elder's Invitation

After two rounds of probing….

Dealing with Ju Haocang was a challenge she was acutely aware of.

In the final exchange, she expended nearly all her spiritual energy, drawing upon the inheritance's might to swiftly incapacitate Ju Haocang. Caught off guard and unable to retaliate, he fell with a single decisive blow.

This underscored the distinction between a Paragon and the rest.

A vast disparity lay between them.

The apparent ease with which she clinched victory masked the arduousness of her feat, a realization that dawned on Gu Chaoyan. Anxiety gnawed at her regarding this contest.

Ju Haocang proved a mountain she could barely ascend, let alone seeking vengeance against that woman.

Reality maintained its unyielding hold on her.

A display of her true capabilities loomed imperative.

Her passage into the enigmatic realm now stood sanctioned.

Both she and Di Hongyun possessed a mystic realm guide scroll each.
