Rebirth

His True Spirit Origin was wrapped in and protected by a gentle yet powerful force, as though he were in an absolutely tranquil harbor.

An unprecedented sense of clarity filled his Divine Soul. It was as if everything in the world, along with every thought in his heart, had become clearly visible.

The opportunity to sever the corpse had come!

Han Feng sank his consciousness into the depths of his Sea of Consciousness.

These had once been the underlying hues of his character and one of the sources of his strength. Yet now, the cultivation technique forcibly extracted them from the whole of his "true self" consciousness and condensed them.
