An aura of white mist enveloped the rocky lake of the desolate mountain, its shores lined with shocking sword marks; around it, mystical peaks with clusters of spiritual plants emitted strange radiance, blending beautifully and resembling the Immortal Realm.
Suddenly, a water pillar several feet high exploded from the calm lake surface, revealing a slender figure breaking through the waves, completely drenched and extremely disheveled.
"Divine Sense is about to be exhausted, I need to hurry back to the cave... Hopefully, those Outer Domain cultivators won't come searching."
Sun Zhe paused mid-air, scanning the surroundings to confirm the direction, and after catching his breath slightly, a pair of black and white wings suddenly unfolded from his back, turning into a silhouette darting away.
...
Not half an hour after Sun Zhe left, a figure suddenly flickered on the mountainside of a mystical peak near the lake shore.
