Pu Yanlan nodded and said,
"In response to Master's question, although Senior Mu is reticent, he is very dedicated in teaching his disciple. I truly have benefited greatly!"
"Very good!"
Liu Wendao nodded with satisfaction, and continued,
"Given the increasingly severe situation on the continent, Heavenly Unity Sect will soon close its sect, and all disciples will return to the mountain for seclusion cultivation, the same goes for you, Yanlan. With your outstanding aptitude, you must study and cultivate diligently, and you must not waste your talent!"
"Yes, Master!"
Pu Yanlan responded respectfully.
From then on, Heavenly Unity Sect strictly closed its doors; unless it was an emergency, disciples would not leave the mountain. Many other great sects on the continent did the same, and for a while, the strife among the great cultivators diminished considerably, which to the commoners ignorant of the truth seemed like several peaceful decades had passed.
