Chu Yi's last memory was of the violent surge of energy that knocked him unconscious; after that, he knew nothing.
After an unknown amount of time, Chu Yi only felt the intermittent droplets of water slapping on his face. In a haze, he reached out and touched around, only to find himself alone, without a trace of Wang Ran. The sensation under his hand felt like cold stone, which brought Chu Yi to a clearer state of mind.
Fighting the feeling of weakness in his body, he sat up and looked around, only to discover he was in a cave, with water dripping sparsely from the cave walls.
With difficulty, he moved out of the stone cave, and an enchanting scene met his eyes. Lush trees surrounded the cave, their dense foliage obscuring the sky. Behind him was a vast rock face, and in front of the forest, a stream babbled by. Farther in the distance lay expansive grasslands with no end in sight.
