In the darkness where nothing could be seen, Shi Yan gradually woke up.
After opening his eyes, he released his soul consciousness to observe around. However, as soon as his soul consciousness flickered, there appeared an extreme pain in the sea of consciousness. This pain outbursted so strongly in his sea of consciousness that he almost fainted again.
His face slightly changed while he tried to control the pain, hastily holding his breath and retrieving his soul consciousness. After that, the pain disappeared.
His eyes flared up in the dark, but he was still unable to see anything.
While groping in the dark, he realized that surrounding him was all icy lava rocks. These lava rocks were very hard, robust and rough; he did not know what kind of rocks they were. A formation technique seemed to have been placed in his soul consciousness. If he released the soul consciousness again, that formation technique would instantly spread out, causing him a splitting headache.
