At that moment, he felt his muscles and nerves suddenly relax, as if they were about to abandon him and let him slump to the ground like a sack.
And in the next moment, he found himself sitting on the ground.
But quickly, like a typical bar of soap, he could no longer remain seated. He abruptly stood up again, gathered his belongings, and prepared to leave hastily.
However, halfway through, he decided to detour, not willing to pass through the paths where the Golden Core Cultivators had battled before.
Along the way, Chen Dengming noticed many cultivators, like himself, darting about aimlessly, terrified, or hiding in corners, too afraid to show themselves.
As he observed this, he slowly calmed down and entered into the state of Utmost Emptiness, a peaceful and focused mind. His eyes became glossy black, thoroughly eliminating all worries and fear, as he slowly continued his walk.
At this point, his mind no longer held the chaos that it did before.
