Meanwhile, deep within the Spectral Veil Forest, Lian Chen slowly opened his eyes. The area around him was dimly lit with fluorescent lights emanating from the bioluminescent fungi clinging to the twisted trees. The air was thick with an otherworldly energy, and the eerie silence was only broken by the occasional rustle of leaves.
"Where in the world am I within the Spectral Veil Forest…" Lian Chen muttered, his voice barely more than a whisper.
Lian Chen stood up, his body recovered from the past two days. The battle he had fought against the Midnight Phoenix and the ambush by Zhang Wei and Fei San had almost led him to break through to the Soul Transformation 4th Stage. Lian Chen felt a surge of strength coursing through his veins, evident that he was about to break through soon.
