"That power bore the hallmarks of the True Form Realm..."
"Looks like he stopped being a Divine Ability Realm cultivator long ago."
"But... he's certainly making quite a spectacle of it."
Faced with that dazzling pillar of light in the distance,
Shen Zhenhai was among the many who had sensed something amiss.
After a brief moment of surprise, a smile crept across his face.
He did not even need to see the person with his own eyes.
Divination alone
was enough to tell him that Ling Wuyuan had caused the phenomenon.
At present,
Shen Zhenhai was still suppressing the vast majority of his power.
By repeatedly adjusting his strength and testing how much his Qi and Blood and True Essence affected the pillar of light,
he could now estimate with reasonable accuracy just how much power it would take to create a spectacle like Ling Wuyuan's.
After all,
he had once been a giant of the Immortal Realm.
He had possessed power far beyond that level.
Thus,
once he had estimated how large a pillar a given level of Qi and Blood and True Essence could produce,
a single glance
gave him a fairly clear understanding of the strength Ling Wuyuan had displayed.
In fact, even now, Shen Zhenhai could unleash power of that magnitude if he wished.
It was just that
there was no need to do so.
He had no intention of revealing his strength ahead of time.
For now,
he would rather be an observer,
quietly watching events unfold while continuing to build his strength.
"By this world's power system..."
"His Qi and Blood and True Essence should rival, if not surpass, those of most Heart Domain Realm Cultivators."
"The question is whether he's still hiding more power... Even if he is, surely it can't be much?"
