A streak of sword light appeared before Chen Changan. The next instant, his consciousness fully returned.
Looking at the super-sized Heavenly Origin Other Shore Flower Hongchen had cut down, Chen Changan resisted the urge to destroy it once and for all and sent it into the Jade Bottle of Fortune.
"Are you all right, Sword Master Lord?"
"Just now, I suddenly sensed an intense fluctuation in your consciousness."
"I vaguely sensed that you wanted me to cut down the thing in front of me."
"Did Hongchen misunderstand?"
Seeing the faint worry on Hongchen's face, Chen Changan smiled. "No, you did well."

Beyond the white mist, everyone watched as it gradually faded. Surprise and confusion appeared on their faces.
"What's going on? Th-the white mist is slowly fading!"
"Yeah, this isn't right, is it? Doesn't it normally disappear in an instant, then come back? What's going on this time?"
"Holy crap, this time... could something new be happening? If the mist fades slowly, doesn't that mean we'll have a lot more time? Then our chances of success will be much better."
"That makes sense! What a rare opportunity—we actually got lucky enough to be here for it?"
At that thought, excitement spread across everyone's faces.
"I've never heard of anything like this either."
"Could he have caused it?" Yue Zhirou looked at Mu Yunyao, who shook her head
