As Expected, As Reasonable

Lin Bingchun shuddered violently under the old man's gaze, as though a biting cold wind had risen from the depths of his heart and swept through his entire body in an instant.

His body trembled involuntarily, and fine beads of sweat emerged on his forehead.

He knew full well how powerful this Spirit Realm Envoy was. It was an unfathomable power, like a vast ocean that made one feel small and helpless.

Thinking back on it now, he truly had been too rash before.

To have attacked him so recklessly without understanding the situation had been utterly inappropriate.

Now that he had drawn his particular attention, Lin Bingchun's heart was filled with unease and apprehension. He had no idea whether this would bring fortune or disaster.

He forced himself to calm down, drew a deep breath, and steadied himself.

"Junior knows his strength is meager. Last time, I failed to consider everything thoroughly and caused offense. I hope Senior will forgive me."

The old man narrowed his eyes slightly, his profound gaze seeming to pierce straight through people's hearts. "Hehe, you do have some courage. You also seem quite persistent about the Spirit Realm."

Lin Bingchun's heart tightened, but seeing that the other party did not appear hostile, he stepped forward and asked respectfully, "Senior, how can one determine whether one is qualified to enter the Spirit Realm?"

The old man fell silent for a moment, stroking his beard before slowly speaking. "The Spirit Realm is no ordinary place; ordinary people cannot enter it. Still, you few can be considered basically qualified. You are just short by a tiny bit."

The old man's words shook everyone to the core, especially Lin Bingchun, whose eyes lit with intense longing.

He had been trapped at the Spirit Severing Realm for many years.
