Flame Venerable's reply arrived in the evening.
Xu Wuyi was in the Cultivation Room, familiarizing himself with the fine control of his Power of Heart Image, when his personal terminal vibrated slightly. He stopped what he was doing and opened the message.
A virtual image of Flame Venerable was projected. The senior who had once guided him still had the same casual appearance, with his long, crimson hair unbound, sitting cross-legged in a burning void.
"Great Success in Heart Image? Not bad. Faster than I expected." Flame Venerable's voice was tinged with a smile, but his eyes were serious. "But kid, take a piece of advice from me: don't be in a hurry to show it off before you've truly stepped into the Innate Realm."
"The Federation is a grand stage, but there are even more eyes watching it. It's a good thing that you're progressing quickly, but if you're too fast and haven't reached the finish line, you'll easily attract unwanted attention."
