Bang!
Heaven and earth shattered like glass.
Countless fragments of all sizes faded away before Shi Wen's eyes.
The shabby, dim house reappeared before him. The faint mustiness in the air and the aroma of cooking drifting in from the lanes filled his nostrils, while the cacophony outside poured into his ears, bringing his thoughts back.
"I'm back."
"My earlier theory was right. As long as I touched something with my left hand and remained resolute, the Extreme Seal could refine it. In the end, any illusion would vanish without a trace."
"But... I also need to guard against mysterious things that can tamper with my memories and perceptions!"
"If I'm controlled from afar, it'll be even harder. For now, the most urgent thing is to increase my mental strength."
Shi Wen stood where he was, gripping a Mountain Yin Bell that had already gone dull.
The scene from before had been like an unreal nightmare.
But he could feel his blood surging through his body like a mighty river. His heart pounded fiercely, and his muscles were taut, bulging like mounds of earth. His veins stood out, clear evidence that what had happened had taken a heavy toll on him in reality.
"It wasn't just a nightmare."
"Are those things even human? What are they cultivating? Why are they so bizarre?"
"The Three Yin Five Saints Temple, the ritual, the Rot-Borer, the Sea of Evil..."
"Are they still human?"
A grave look crossed Shi Wen's face.
He tossed the crushed bell to the ground and exhaled, easing the pressure in his chest. Then he looked at the Extreme Seal, his eyes flashing with delight and surprise!
It could evolve!
