Shen Yuan soon reached the mat, standing still and thinking about what to do next. He knew hesitation would be useless no matter for how long he would drag it out.
He sat down on the mat in Lotus position, closing his eyes and taking a deep breath.
The moment his eyes fully closed, the darkness around him stirred as it slowly inched its way closer to Shen Yuan.
Shen Yuan could feel something trying to infiltrate his soul, but he was powerless to do anything about it as even Yue Lan or his bloodline wasn't reacting.
So he calmed down and silently started meditating. Soon, his consciousness began to skip away as the darkness engulfed his body.
The eerie void faded, replaced by a familiar scene that warmed his heart. He found himself standing in front of a familiar house.
His heart skipped a beat as he heard the voices of his mother Zhen Yi, and his sister Shen Yuechan coming from inside the house.
