Yan Zaizen's eyes widened slightly. ”How did you get here?” This was a genuine question as he inspected the body of white fur. It belonged to a canine, no more than a little pup. It had to be at least a few weeks old. Its fur contained traces of dirt and mud, clearly indicating its poor living conditions thus far.

He was currently three stories high, at the edge of a roof with no entrances. How did this little dog get here?

”Urrhmm!” A cute whimper rumbled from its throat as it nudged the edge of the food platter. Its bright black eyes shone without a hint of impurities or ill-intent as it regarded Yan Zaizen. Yan Zaizen couldn't help but feel a tinge of pity in his heart as he witnessed this, emotions welling in his soul.

”You're lost, aren't you?” He asked, reaching out to touch its fur. But, it took a few abrupt steps back with a whimper here and there, displaying vigilance. Chuckling with a lighthearted air, Yan Zaizen felt this dog was polite, respectful, and cautious. It wanted food, but it didn't dare steal.

Rumble!

Just like his stomach before, the little pup's stomach rumbled in hunger. ”You're hungry too,” he smilingly said. With a push of the platter, he offered what was left. The pup's eyes lit like a sun before digging in. It seemed that once offered to eat to its delight, it showed no restraint. How innocent.

While it quietly devoured the fruits and meat leftovers with its pink tongue and small white teeth, Yan Zaizen finally got a clear look at its breed and gender. It was male, and seemed to be a crossbred between a husky and a mastiff. Its puppy stage was abnormally cute, and its dirty and muddy hair made it seem like a wild hedgehog.

”So you're the loyal type?” Yan Zaizen remarked. But, his mind kept trying to figure out how this dog with its tiny legs and fragile body made it to the rooftop of a third story building without him noticing. It was almost as if it appeared out of nowhere. Rubbing his chin, he became lost in thought.

”He did it! He did it!” A very loud shout resounded. It originated from the Soaring Sword Sect's ongoing qualification assessment for disciples. This brought his attention away. Below, on the Earth banner platform, Long Bailin was heaving heavily with a sword in his hand. The young disciple of the sect was kneeling, a hint of unwillingness in his gaze as he stared daggers at Long Bailin.

Long Baili had a triumphant smile. He brandished his sword with grace, before sheathing it. His eyes roamed to soak in the reverence of the crowd until he met Long Wulin and the beauty's figures. His gaze lingered, flashing contempt and pride.

While Long Wulin didn't show any outward expression, Yan Zaizen could see the light within his eyes. It was intent to exceed and prove his worth, but only to himself and the world. This form of intent felt quite shocking.

”Nascent Dao?” Yan Zaizen murmured softly as he recognized the aura of a developing Dao. While it was in its most infantile state, it was present.

”The Dao is the path to the heavens. Whether its your own or another's, it was required. However, one's own Dao was the strongest and held boundless potential.” Yan Zaizen emotionally spoke. The energy that a Dao emits can improve all cultivation paths and acts as the connecting seams to a Heavenly Shrine.

This young man had a Nascent Dao, his own Dao forming. If he succeeded, he would be a true elite of this world. His future was inestimable and limitless as long as life still existed in his soul.

Clatter!

The puppy had finished its meal, turning the remains into bones or nothingness. Yan Zaizen was taken aback as he glanced at its slightly protruding belly. It laid on its back and yawned out in content, rolling back and forth while using its tiny paws to rub its belly.

”How cute…” he couldn't help but remark. Grabbing the puppy, he placed it on his lap. Unlike before, it held little vigilance to Yan Zaizen, not reacting much, and only nuzzled his thigh until it got into a comfortable position. With a yawn, it smacked its lips and laid down its head.

Watching the puppy about to sleep, Yan Zaizen softly chuckled as he rubbed its dirty fur. ”You truly are innocent,” his words contained a hint of nostalgia. When he was young, he was ignorant of many things and wished for little. Besides perverted thoughts and food, the only things he cared about was Ya Qinqan's happiness, his parent's burial tomb, and his little life.

When he was inadvertently and forcefully brought into the cultivation world by his master, he met his Senior Sister Lin Feilin and Senior Brother Shin Xuanji. Her drive for the future pushed him to truly devote his mind to cultivation and led down a brilliant path.
