The stone forest stood in chaos.
Weed-like water algae squeezed out from the crevices of the rocks, spreading and covering everything.
In the center,
Three flat boulders were stacked to form a "冂" character framework. Long Eying sat before and behind, ten yards apart from each other, in a meditative pose.
Liang Qu meditated within, inhaling deeply and exhaling slowly.
Inside the Ze Cauldron, the Blue Sea was subsiding, and countless light patterns flickered and interwove on the cauldron walls.
Agony spread from his spine, increasing.
But compared to the first two times, Liang Qu wasn't sure if his tolerance had increased or if it truly wasn't as painful—he merely sweated lightly with a slight furrow in his brow, without the severe burning pain engulfing his entire body.
Only at a certain moment, the pain suddenly escalated, piercing Liang Qu's spirit into a daze.
The scenery before his eyes changed in an instant.
Day turned to night.
