[Halt, intruder. This is the forbidden land of the Taiyi Sect!]
When Zhang Qingyuan stepped into the cave entrance on Kunwu Mountain, sealed layer upon layer by the Cloud Water Sect, he arrived in a pale white world. As far as his eyes could see, there was nothing but a vast expanse of hazy white light.
A sonorous voice rang out like thunder.
At the same time,
a repulsive force descended,
as though it intended to drive Zhang Qingyuan out of this world!
And from behind him,
there came an aura of Great Terror!
Where was this?!
Zhang Qingyuan looked up, his aura manifesting as he resisted that repulsive force.
In the world ahead,
a phantom figure appeared—vague and ethereal, seemingly there yet not there, suspended in mid-air, carrying an inscrutable and mysterious air.
"Greetings, Senior. This junior is Zhang Qingyuan of the Cloud Water Sect."
Zhang Qingyuan cupped his hands.
His voice spread out alongside his Divine Sense,
as he was about to explain something.
However,
at that very moment,
the phantom in the void ahead seemed to sense something, and its illusory face suddenly changed!
[Taiyi Spirit Refining Technique?!]
The phantom's gaze abruptly shot toward him.
Its eyes seemed to pierce through the void and reach him. Zhang Qingyuan felt as though something had swept over him from top to bottom,
as if every secret inside and outside his body had been laid bare at this moment!
"What exactly is this light-and-shadow thing?!"
Zhang Qingyuan's heart tightened,
and he quietly drew in a cold breath.
Fortunately,
that feeling of being seen through was merely an illusion.
What the other party could see was, at most, only superficial things—for instance, the Divine Sense he had already revealed, or the remarkable body cultivation he had displayed.
