Relying on the Lesser Misty Spirit Replenishing Pill, Lei Dong burst forward several times more. But each time, he chose a different direction on a whim. In the short time that had passed, the sky was still the same sky, and the sea was still the same sea. Yet Lei Dong knew he was already dozens of miles away. To cultivators, a mere few dozen miles might not seem very far. But covering that distance in just a dozen breaths was terrifying.
