Within that light and shadow, a tall, thin figure appeared. The figure lay helplessly on the ground, seemingly unconscious. Nearby lay a little black dog and a yellow mink. What especially jolted Xiao Hua was that the figure's right hand tightly gripped a sword embryo he recognized!
Before Xiao Hua could make it out clearly, the light and shadow trembled again. An indescribable ripple spread out behind the figure, much like the fluctuations in Xiao Hua's teleportation passage! If nothing unexpected had happened, Xiao Hua's teleportation passage must have collided with the passage where that figure was, producing a strange mutation. The instant the light and shadow shook, it vanished, as though the entire image had fallen into that forward-rushing ripple. Then the radiance on the Great Universe Shifting Token in Xiao Hua's hand trembled, smoothing out the slightly collapsing teleportation passage. The light and shadow of Xiao Hua's passage likewise vanished at once into the torrent of time!
Xiao Hua stood dumb as a wooden chicken. His already slow mind could no longer keep up with everything he had just witnessed. Though he had seen only a fleeting glimpse and nothing clearly, he distinctly felt that the figure was so familiar—the little dog and mink were familiar too, as was that sword embryo...
But before he could think further, another chill rose in his heart. Soul Cultivator Xiao Hua's voice cried out from within his fleshly body, "Not good! The divine sense marker is gone!"
Xiao Hua was greatly startled. Indeed, the divine sense marker that had been faintly discernible before had now vanished completely, beyond all perception! It was as if that divine sense marker had never existed at all. This was exactly the same as when Xiao Hua had mistakenly entered the Ruins.
"Wh-what should we do?"
