Within the Bai Clan's Ancestral Region, the air was thick with the lingering energy of the recent catastrophe.
The ground, once pristine and sacred, now bore faint scorch marks and cracks, as though the heavens themselves had descended to test the clan's resilience.
A few minutes after the chaos subsided, two figures slowly stirred, their eyes fluttering open as they emerged from a state of deep meditation.
Their skin glowed faintly, bathed in an ethereal light that emanated from the unconscious release of immortal qi. It was a sign of their recent enlightenment, a rare and precious gift bestowed upon them during the divine retribution that had shaken the heavens.
Bai Yunxiao and Shen Fantian exchanged glances, their eyes gleaming with unrestrained joy.
They were among the fortunate few who had achieved a minor breakthrough during the celestial phenomenon.
