Countless hexagons had become the only thing in Xu Huo's field of vision, interspersed with that invisible attacking force. Invisible mental power was another way to use Mental Evolution. Normally, once the Spiritual World unfolded, its most direct effect was to influence other people's senses, creating illusions so convincing they seemed real. Besides interfering with and affecting their behavior, it could also conveniently be used to conceal one's own movements.
