The breakthrough of the parasite had drawn Noah closer to King Elbas' condition. Noah and the plant had sealed a vague deal, but that didn't prevent it from drawing a lot of power anyway. He could sustain those expenses, but the situation was far from ideal since the absorption hindered the already slow growth of his body.

The payoff was great. The parasite had become incredible in the ninth rank, but that wasn't enough. Noah had to grow without forsaking his other companions, and the stormy regions couldn't satisfy his requirements. Those areas even lacked the challenges that his ambition needed to improve unless he met other privileged cultivators.

The sky seemed the only target left in a world that could satisfy Noah. That place had even gained a new interesting vibe after Dinia revealed what Heaven and Earth could offer. The sole idea of gazing on the paths past the sky almost made Noah and King Elbas unable to focus on other projects.
