The Heaven and Earth Membrane was formless and intangible, its mysteries beyond words.
Though Fang Han now governed the Heavenly Dao of this world, his understanding of the Heaven and Earth Membrane remained hazy.
"The Heaven and Earth Membrane protects a world, yet seems to exist apart from it, unbound by the world's Great Dao."
"Ordinarily, it leaves no trace, like an antelope hanging its horns from a tree. Only when a world faces invasion from beyond does it reveal itself."
In Fang Han's perception, the Heaven and Earth Membrane lasted only an instant before vanishing like ice and snow in the thaw.
No matter how he searched, he could no longer find it.
"I wonder how Great Qian managed to create a Heaven and Earth Membrane."
Fang Han sighed, then turned his gaze to Shentu Xin's phantom.
Fei's single eye fixed on Shentu Xin. The strange beast tensed as though facing a formidable enemy.
To Fei, Shentu Xin's presence seemed impossibly faint, as fragile as glass that would shatter at a touch.
Yet Fei had seen him cross over from outside the Pasture World with its own eye!
How could anyone who crossed the boundless ancient domain be weak?
Shentu Xin must have concealed his presence, or his strength had surpassed the limits of what Fei could perceive.
With that thought, Fei quietly edged behind Fang Han.
Fang Han noticed the small movement and gave a wry smile.
He gave Fei a sharp slap, then said evenly, "Don't be afraid. He's an old friend of mine."
Shentu Xin said nothing.
He suddenly became a thin line and shot into the sky.
Trailing a long stroke of shadowy ink, he moved across the heavens like a brush writing upon them.
"What is that...?" Fei stared at the marks overhead, bewildered.
