Lin Mu watched the recording carefully.
The old Zhenyu spoke again. "That was when I discovered the truth."
The illusion focused on the crystal formation. Lin Mu could now see countless fine strands of energy running between the crystals and the surrounding space. The energy wasn't simply flowing into Zhenyu, it was connecting him to the formation.
His body was becoming part of the system!
Zhenyu's voice became solemn. "The Mad Demon's Longevity Insights were never meant to give someone free longevity."
The younger Zhenyu suddenly looked down at his own body. "I was becoming connected to the formation."
Lin Mu's expression became serious as Zhenyu continued. "The longer I remained here, the deeper that connection became."
The illusion showed the younger Zhenyu attempting to leave again. But this time, his expression was completely different. He had finally become cautious and he stepped away from the formation.
