Gao Huan led Qifu Zhen in pursuit, following the tracks of the wild beasts that had lost their minds and gone berserk. Once the military formation closed around them, few escaped.
Even when they occasionally encountered an aperture-opening beast or two, none exceeded the Fourth Aperture, and he could deal with them alone.

Gao Huan's aura has already grown tremendously. Another two or three Ming Beasts like this, and opening his Fourth Aperture will be child's play. This definitely isn't an orthodox cultivation method of the "Hundred-Scene Profound Immortal Way."
