"Failed again..."
On Springwater Peak, Beigong Wei sighed.
She had just tried to enter the Myriad Beasts Immortal Palace, only to fail once more.
It seemed that after that strange upheaval, the immortal palace had closed itself to outsiders.
Even so, the opportunities she had gained from repeatedly challenging its trials were enough to carry her all the way to Spirit Division. She would lack nothing even for Void Refinement.

Its power seemed able to reach anywhere. It tried to follow that sliver of divine sense
