He found a way to resist by seeing without attaching himself to what he saw, causing the technique to lose certainty about whom it was seeing.

• The Sight-Derivation Beast unleashed Seeing Stillness, and its Silent Form gaze began reading Qin Yu’s past, present, abilities, and possible futures.
• As every possibility was understood, Qin Yu’s form grew illusory and his unknowns dwindled, bringing his existence close to being fully defined and returned to stillness.

Qin Yu defeated the Sight-Derivation Beast by turning its gaze back upon itself and severing its ability to define what it saw, passing the Eye Faculty. The Eye Faculty Emanation Domain settled into a colorless state, and Qin Yu reached the Ear Pillar, where the soundless trial of the second faculty began to open.

• Qin Yu realized that the Ear Faculty trial had not merely silenced sound but prevented sound from coming into being at all.

• Qin Yu heard his heartbeat, blood, thoughts, and awareness, then unintentionally caused the ancient chant to split into countless variations.
• Qin Yu’s attention multiplied the sounds into a vast Sea of Sound that persisted even when he sealed his ears and cut off outside perception.
• Qin Yu calmed himself and understood that existence itself was hearing, so he could not completely stop hearing while continuing to exist.

Qin Yu passed through the Sea of Sound only to discover that the ear-faculty trial could turn his own thoughts into endless echoes and restraints. As primordial soundlessness swallowed the domain and the guardian’s avatar vanished, he was drawn toward a boundless barrier.

• Qin Yu let the Sea of Sound’s countless forms pass without clinging to them, until all sounds abruptly returned to absolute silence.

• Qin Yu realized that speaking, denying the accusation, or even thinking of refusing a response could preserve his desire for confirmation.
• The Hearing-Derivation Beast began its trial, causing Qin Yu’s thoughts to echo recursively until countless sounds turned toward him.

Qin Yu faced the Hearing-Derivation Beast’s Hearing Attachment trial, where calls and echoes tried to draw him into an endless cycle of responding. He understood that hearing was bound to existence itself and continued deeper into the sound wall without clinging to or answering the voices.

• The Hearing-Derivation Beast vanished after declaring that one who desired echoes would become an echo, and the Hearing Attachment trial began.
• Qin Yu walked through the sound wall as countless voices called his name, refusing to judge whether they were true or false or respond to them.
• A familiar voice made Qin Yu wonder who was calling, and that momentary thought triggered multiplying calls and false responses derived from his possible reactions.
• Qin Yu recognized that the cycle could wear away his identity until only an eternal echo remained, so he stopped treating the false sound-forms as himself and let them fade.
• Qin Yu tried to shut off his hearing and restrain his awareness, but those attempts became new echoes; he realized that existence itself was the foundation of hearing.
