The Sacred Academy First Elder's heart lurched in alarm. Just moments ago, the disciple into whom he had poured his heart and placed such high hopes had leaped into the boundless Gray Waterfall.
Throughout all history, Shi Yi was the first person who had dared to do such a thing. It was truly terrifying.
At that moment, the Sacred Academy First Elder stared wide-eyed at the Gray Waterfall before him, not blinking once. Its waters surged, waves rolling amid fragments of time and the power of fate, bound for some unknown destination.
Above the sea, a golden Peng Bird skimmed close to the water, flying swiftly toward the heavens. His gaze was resolute, every feather gleaming. From time to time, he changed his angle, attempting to plunge into the gray seawater, become a Kun Fish, and roam through the Gray Waterfall. Unfortunately, an invisible force blocked him. No matter how hard he tried or struggled, every attempt ended in failure.
This was Sun Stone Shi Yi. Before falling within the Gray Waterfall's reach, he had transformed into a golden Peng Bird. From that moment onward, fate had locked him into that form. The Kunpeng art he had once wielded at will could no longer accomplish even the most basic transformation into a Kun.
The Kun Fry that Lunar Essence Shi Yi had become was in the same predicament. He swung his tail fin from side to side in the Gray Waterfall, repeatedly attempting to leap above the surface, transform from Kun to Peng, and soar skyward. Every attempt came to nothing. It was as though a pair of invisible hands within the Gray Waterfall held him fast. However hard he tried, he could not escape the course fate had prescribed for him.
