"If one skipped the tempering of the state of mind on the Heart-Questioning Platform and continued climbing upward directly, once that strange aura assailed him, the danger he faced would increase dramatically. He might lose control of his mind and be flung away the moment he entered that mist." A cold, sinister voice rang out. Clearly, the speaker had little confidence in Qin Fengming.
