Chu Ming said, "No need to chase."
His gaze fell in the directions where those main veins extended, gray-gold light flickering faintly in his pupils.

It was not like a river splitting into two tributaries, going from wide to narrow, from deep to shallow, the process slow and incremental.
It was a "cliff-like" split.
A complete track suddenly became two at a certain point, with no transition and no warning.
