The two exchanged a smile and continued to move forward, exploring their own paths and futures in this mysterious and challenging Sunset Forest.
"... Three or five hundred years!" Luo Chen repeated the number with a dazed expression, as if unable to accept this time span. His eyes were somewhat vacant, clearly shocked by the lengthy period needed for cultivation.
The White-haired Monk observed Luo Chen's reaction, sighed softly, and spoke slowly, "Yes, that's why you need to speed up your cultivation, not just for me, but more importantly for yourself."
Luo Chen snapped back to reality, letting out a cold snort, "It's the speed of killing, isn't it?" His tone carried a hint of sarcasm and discontent.
