Shen Yuan sighed, his gaze sweeping across the horizon filled with shimmering islands. "For now, I've seen enough. I'll return when I need something specific from here."
The spirit bowed respectfully. "As you wish, Master. Shall I guide you back to the pagoda's ninth level?"
Shen Yuan nodded. "Do it."
With a wave of the spirit's hand, the surroundings shifted.
The radiant expanse of the Mystique Realm faded, replaced by the familiar polished jade floor of the ninth level of the pagoda.
The towering golden doors behind him sealed themselves with a faint hum.
Shen Yuan exhaled deeply, his mind racing with thoughts of what he had seen. "This place is truly beyond comprehension. The treasures here could elevate the entire fucking world."
The spirit floated beside him. "And they are yours, Master, when you are ready to earn them."
Shen Yuan smirked. "Oh, I will. For now, I need to focus on growing stronger."
