Once again, Lu Ran sensed a mysterious energy searching through his body.
Even though he had concealed both his form and aura, he still could not escape it.
"Whew~"
Lu Ran pierced through the thick sea of clouds and felt the light suddenly dim!
So dark?
The First Heaven had not been particularly well-lit either, like an overcast afternoon at best.

[Ruyi.]
[Hm?]
