By the time Gu Hang realized that something was amiss, his response had been exceedingly decisive.
He severed contact immediately and ceased his observation.
However, intense pain still surged into his head.
Unlike a typical headache, this sensation felt more like his brain was on fire.
He instantly terminated the act of projecting his soul into the True Realm. In just an instant, his consciousness returned to the reality of his own physical body.
This made him feel much better.
Although the pain was still there, it did not intensify any further.
He gasped for breath, slowly calming the damage suffered by his spiritual energy. It took hours before the pain subsided to a tolerable level and he successfully regained the ability to think.
Clutching his head, Gu Hang realized that what he had just done was an act courting death.
Fortunately, he did not succeed.
Gu Hang indeed had been somewhat careless.
