A vast black-hole vortex opened above the Xuanhuang World, releasing powerful Immortal Spiritual Qi and revealing a gateway to a higher world. Lin Changqing recognized it as the world his Spiritual Power reached, while Lin Qingyao identified it as the Xuan You Great World of the Xuan You Star Domain.
