Shu Guan's head stealthily emerged from the water, carefully glancing around.
The sky was clear with the moon hanging high and sparse stars, while the river was resplendent with lights; the sound of strings and flutes filled the air, mingling with the scent of perfumes.
The scenery of the Qinhuai River seemed unchanged from before he had hidden inside the ten-eyed treasured pearl, yet it was already the night of the following day.
After advancing to the Nascent Soul, Shu Guan could now sustain the ten-eyed treasured pearl's small world for about twenty-four hours.
And to be safe, Shu Guan had hidden in the small world for a full twenty-four hours, of course spending that time recovering from his injuries.
Only when his spiritual power was nearly depleted did Shu Guan finally emerge from the small world.
Thinking back to his encounter here last night, Shu Guan still felt a lingering fear.
