Time flows unceasingly, like a swift steed glimpsed through a crack, vanishing in the blink of an eye.
It was once again winter—that is to say, in a snow-covered region like the Kunlun Mountain Range, describing it as "eternal winter" would be no exaggeration, so it went unnoticed by all.
One day, the Ziwei Master summoned Qiu Changtian to the Jade Void Palace. As soon as they met, he stated succinctly:
"There has been a discovery at the Extreme North Heaven Pillar."
"Oh?" Qiu Changtian asked in surprise. "Has someone been stationed there by the celestial beings for observation?"
"It was I who arranged for someone," the Ziwei Master replied. "After all, your analysis that day was reasonable and grounded. I feared missing an opportunity, so I sent one of your senior brothers to keep watch there."
Qiu Changtian inwardly chuckled. Reasonable perhaps, but with no solid evidence; it was mere conjecture.
