On the 402nd day after entering the secret realm, the ground shook in a roar.
Bird fled and the animals ran. Alex turned to look in the distance and saw a large mountain spew out lava high into the sky. A thick plume of smoke rose high into the sky, lightning crackling from it as if the heavens themselves were angry.
"What was that?" Shan Wangjiu, who had been busy practicing his sword, turned to look in that direction.
"A volcano erupted," Alex said. "I've never before seen such a sight."
He slowly flew to the sky. Not just him, but everyone did the same.
Wangjiu stopped practicing and started watching the sky as it was filled with dark clouds. Many other people were surprised by the suddenness of the situation as well.
"It's in the west," Wangjiu said softly. "Should we go check?"
"I already did," Alex said, turning to look at the young man. "Your spiritual sense doesn't extend as far, does it?"
