Within a cave abode of the Dragon Soaring Sect.
Zhang Shuai sat cross-legged, his eyes slightly closed. His aura was as steady as a mountain, and his mind had reached a state of utter stillness, like an ancient well without ripples or a spotless mirror.
Three feet before him, five spiritual materials of differing forms floated silently in the air. Each radiated a suffocatingly majestic spiritual essence, their unique Great Dao fluctuations shining against one another and bathing the entire chamber in flowing, brilliant light filled with Dao resonance.
