Before long, Li Yan flew back to his previous position and stopped a thousand zhang away from the protruding rock. Looking at the teardrop-shaped pendant that had fallen to the ground, he pointed at it from afar again, and the pendant immediately rose into the air once more.
A beam of purple light shot from the pendant toward the rock above. The protruding rock blurred again, and then a purple vortex appeared.
Li Yan's divine sense did not linger. It swiftly probed inside, and this time, prepared as he was, he soon discovered what he had failed to notice before...
"He... he really is cultivating. Should I go in?"
Li Yan finally made out the other party's condition. It should have resembled the second possibility he had previously deduced.
Yet Li Yan still could not clearly see what was happening within the golden light. He could only tell from the outline cast by that light that someone was sitting cross-legged in meditation. Beyond that, however, he had determined from other signs that the person was cultivating.
During this inspection, the person within the golden light still showed no reaction. However, his soul had not left his body; he was likely circulating his cultivation to heal his injuries...
Li Yan had not yet seen an exit inside, so he hesitated. He could basically confirm that the man had been injured, which was why he had been unable to come out and pursue him.
At this moment, Li Yan could search elsewhere for an exit and flee this place as quickly as possible before that man emerged!
But there was another possibility: the exit lay beyond the purple vortex, at the place where the person in the golden light was meditating.
Divine sense was not omnipotent. Some places might require other forms
