After an unknowable span of time, Shen Luo felt a warm breath coming from his lower abdomen, his body gradually regained consciousness, and he slowly woke up.
His eyes were met with complete darkness and chilling breaths engulfed him from all sides, as if he was immersed in icy water.
For reasons unknown, he had returned to his human form, the effect of the Yinling Talisman had disappeared. Waves of hot energy emerged from his Dantian, which kept expelling the cold Yin energy invading his body.
Shivering, he soon regained full consciousness.
"Where am I? Am I dreaming again?" Shen Luo wondered, busily taking in his surroundings.
He was in a dark place, the ground covered with black soil and gravel. The air was permeated with a strong yin energy, very similar to the Netherworld place he had once visited.
