The atmosphere was thick with energy, yet despite his arrival, no one seemed to notice him.
Shen Yuan allowed himself a moment of satisfaction. These were the very same individuals he had subdued and brought under his command. Their discipline and effort reflected his expectations of their loyalty and potential.
A soft hum echoed beside him as the spirit of the pagoda materialized. The ethereal figure, a serene-looking woman dressed in ancient robes adorned with glowing runes, inclined her head respectfully.
[Master, welcome,]
the pagoda spirit greeted, her voice calm and melodic.
[The inhabitants of this floor remain unaware of your presence, as per your instructions. Is there something specific you seek today?]
Shen Yuan's eyes twitched as he ignored the spirit's new form and gave a nod. "Once again, I'm here to look for treasures. I'm looking for a King-grade cultivation technique to fill my sixth Dantian."
