On the top of Qinglan, the sea of clouds is billowing.
Gao Yichen stood on the platform with his hands behind his back, his body surrounded by nine-yang true fire like a dragon. At the age of seventeen, he formed the elixir and reached the stage of Xuantian Sword Technique. At his feet was the third fallen sect's holy son.
