Zhang Yu found himself standing atop a circular stone disc. This was the very place he had come to several times before. The location had not changed, but the surroundings had become entirely different.
The stone disc beneath his feet was now a raised platform, with three tiers of steps descending on all four sides. Heavy stone walls stood around it, with only a single stone door opposite leading outside. Above was a lofty dome. Other than himself, there was no one here. This was a spacious yet relatively enclosed hall.
This undoubtedly showed that this place had been moved from the front lines of war to the rear. Otherwise, it would have been impossible to construct such a building in peace.
He sensed his surroundings. Compared to before, his cultivation had risen far too much now, and he could feel his true body faintly settled somewhere.
At this moment, even without a jade talisman, he could return in a single thought.
However, for his true body to enter the lower level in full, without guidance, it would be very difficult to find the way back.
Moreover, divine abilities did not manifest in the lower level. If a power projection was destroyed, he could simply turn around and come again. But if his true body descended here and was killed, then he would truly be dead.
He tried to sense it and could vaguely detect the Seal of the Great Dao, yet he could not summon it forth. Or rather, the power projection could not see it at all.
He had tried this before. Yet even after obtaining the Dual Origin, nothing had changed. Clearly, relying on a power projection alone truly could not fill the Seal of Self-Knowing. Only he himself could do so by coming here in person.
