From throbbing pain to numbness, and then to the loss of consciousness.
When she regained a sliver of consciousness, she found that everything before her eyes had plunged into some sort of darkness. Her state was quite peculiar at this moment, not muddled, yet she had forgotten how to think.
Apart from darkness, there was silence all around.
The feeling was akin to the waves of the river of time, vast and undulating yet eerily silent.
From restlessness and anxiety to calmness.
Her heart was as steady as a rock, her mind as still as an ancient well.
As if years had changed and heaven and earth had grown old.
Suddenly, in an instant, Xie Jiuniang's strand of consciousness returned, faintly aware that this place was likely the depths of the Sea of Consciousness, where the Soul Source resides.
Her whole being felt light and airy, like a state of the soul body, weightless, an experience she had never had since her rebirth, floating in the air like a feather.
Time was unknown.
