On the arduous path to the Celestial Peak, the cultivators found themselves ascending the daunting Whispering Peaks. A foreboding silence draped the air like an unseen shroud, intensifying as they ventured deeper into the ethereal landscape.
Unbeknownst to Zenki, Meiying, Zhenyue, and Mengting, a sinister presence stirred within the shadows—the "Spectral Whispers." This thought demonic beast, an embodiment of malevolence, manifested as ethereal wisps resembling dark smoke. Glowing eyes, ominous beacons of danger, peered from the shifting shadows.
The terrain became treacherous, winding paths veiled in mist and the peaks whispering secrets known only to the mountains. A dense fog clung to the air, shrouding the landscape in an otherworldly haze. Visibility diminished, and the cultivators found themselves navigating through an ethereal realm where reality blended with illusion.
