"What's this?"
The sudden upheaval at the gate to the Divine Treasury seized everyone's attention!
Before their eyes, the gate kept shifting. Strange light poured out from within, accompanied by countless murmuring voices.
In a daze, they seemed to glimpse disciples tumbling through the light, struggling as they sank!
"What on earth is happening?"
For a moment, Kan Yuanzi and the others watched the strange light with mounting dread, unable to make sense of it.

The surging light was about to swallow them whole!
But just then, Chen Cuo formed a Hand Seal and swept his Long Sleeve. The Little Gourd spun in midair and swallowed every last wave of the strange light!
Everyone was still shaken.
"Just as I thought!" Chen Cuo studied the shifting light. He felt it faintly stir a power within him, and, connecting what had happened before and after, formed a guess about its origin.

Even I can't interfere with it."
"But..."
Chen Cuo had said so, but that did not mean the others believed him. Nor did they dare question him.
