Pamir Plateau.
Elsewhere.
At the foot of a small snow-covered mountain, Singh, Si Xiaonan, and Leng Xuan stood around an exposed rock face, deep in thought.
Time ticked by. Singh looked at the focused Si Xiaonan, then at the solemn Leng Xuan, and finally could not help asking,
"Are you sure you heard something strange here before?"
"Mm."
Si Xiaonan nodded calmly and pointed at the seemingly unremarkable rock. "When we passed by here earlier, we heard something like the sound of tides coming from inside. Faintly, there was even the sound of dragon roars mixed in...
"The two of us studied this place for quite a while before, but we didn't find anything unusual."
Singh suspiciously pressed his ear against the stone's surface. After a long while, his brows furrowed.
"I didn't hear anything."
"Listen carefully. Isn't there a whooshing sound?"
"...Wasn't that just wind passing through the cracks in the stone?"
"It's different. Listen more carefully?"
Singh's brows knitted even tighter. He pressed his ear against it again, and after a while, his voice became uncertain.
"It does seem... a little different?"
"See? I told you there was something wrong here!" Si Xiaonan said firmly.
Singh took two steps back and flicked his fingertip through the air. The black stone exploded with a boom, leaving behind nothing but flying dust and fragments.
"Looks like it's not here." Singh shook his head. "Kunlun Mountain is so vast. Testing every place one by one to find the entrance to Kunlun Void would be a waste of time... We need another method."
"What method?" Si Xiaonan became wary.
"I heard that the divine power spawned by Great Xia's Heavenly Court Origin differs from all other divine powers in the world. It is a special kind of divine power called 'Spiritual Energy.'
