The cave loomed before Feng Chen, its dark entrance a stark contrast to the fading light of day. He had reached his home... his sanctuary, hidden deep within the wilderness.
The barrier that surrounded it was one he had meticulously crafted long ago, meant to keep intruders at bay and enhance the flow of Qi within the area.
As he stepped closer, the Qi gathering array reacted briefly, but as expected, it allowed him passage.

The air here was thick with his Yang Qi, swirling around the entrance like a tangible force. Yet despite the familiar surroundings, Feng Chen's face remained cold, expressionless. The journey had been long, but he had arrived... finally.
