At first, Shen Yi's expression remained fairly calm.
The feedback from the Flame of Continued Combustion showed that although Wen Ke'er's power was operating erratically due to the new environment Beyond the World, its essence remained pure and had not been extensively eroded by the foreign rules of deathly stillness.
Her earlier discomfort was more the result of a conflict between her power's attributes and the chaotic, skewed environment Beyond the World.
However, as the examination deepened, Shen Yi's brows gradually furrowed.
The Flame of Continued Combustion's detection was meticulous beyond measure, especially when it came to concepts such as erosion, contamination, and foreign matter. It possessed unmatched sensitivity.

These shadows were incredibly faint and deeply concealed. Without a foundational purifying force like the Flame of Continued Combustion conducting the most thorough examination, they would have been nearly impossible to detect.
