[You stared intently at Dachun.]
[In the century or so since learning that Dachun had disappeared into Secluded Mountain, you had come here to search for him thirty times, if not fifty.]
[As for how many times you had investigated Secluded Mountain, you had long since lost count.]
[Especially after reaching Foundation Establishment Perfection and the second tier in your Formation Path skills.]
[Even then, you had been unable to see through Secluded Mountain in the slightest.]
