Li Qing learned the information about the Light Domain, and a trace of surprise appeared on his face.
"So that's how it is. So-called mythical creatures actually come into being this way."
"Mythical creatures can be good or evil. They are formed from the gathered vital essence of extreme attributes, but because they have not been twisted, what emerges are mythical spirits."
"If they are twisted, they may become Anomalies."
"Everything shares the same origin, born from the vital essence of all living beings."
"All extraordinary power is rooted in living beings. Without sentient beings, without life, there would be no extraordinary power?"
Once again, Li Qing glimpsed the most fundamental truth of this world.
A hint of contemplation filled his eyes, while the radiance of sun and moon flickered within them.
He began searching for the so-called mythical spirits.
Shadow Paper Dolls spread out from beneath his feet one after another, beginning their search for anything suspicious.
Where Li Qing's true body was located, he was wielding his brush and ink, sketching out every area the Shadow Paper Dolls saw.
Using the terrain was the best way to locate the Spirit of the Present.
Less than a moment passed before Li Qing suddenly stopped, a trace of surprise appearing on his face.
A peculiar valley had appeared ahead. It was a small valley, no more than five zhang high, with a ring of low hills enclosing its center.
Li Qing arrived at the entrance to the valley, then saw a sight that surprised him.
A wondrous power permeated the valley's interior, sealing off its passage.
He could sense several powerful life forms within the valley.
And his arrival had clearly alerted the beings inside.
The light flickered faintly, and the force sealing the valley entrance slowly opened a slit.
