Following closely behind the small light point, as its speed increased, Wen Yu's steps became increasingly hurried. At the same time, the injuries on his body were continuously healing.
In less than ten minutes, Wen Yu had fully recovered from his injuries. At that moment, the small light point reached its peak speed, shooting into the depths of the cave like a beam of light.
Without any hesitation, Wen Yu's body slowly transformed into a black light, following the trajectory created by the small light point, gradually merging into the dark cave.
Until a pure white light appeared before Wen Yu!
...
Wen Yu's body emerged from the darkness, slowly coming to a stop.
The light source ahead was somewhat blinding, forcing Wen Yu to raise his right hand to shield his eyes to adapt to the sudden change in brightness.
At the same time, Wen Yu's perception ability was unleashed, meticulously scanning every inch of land ahead.
However, there was nothing...
In his perception, directly in front of Wen Yu was merely a somewhat empty open cave.
After taking a careful look at the striking white light with the naked eye, Wen Yu heightened his vigilance and cautiously moved forward until a giant light sphere came into his view.
...
In his perception, there were still no objects ahead; however, the light sphere that appeared in sight undoubtedly indicated to Wen Yu that this peculiar light sphere had the ability to shield perception.
This feeling was unpleasant, as the naked eye's perception was not more effective than Wen Yu's own perception ability...
The small light point that had originally been in his sight had vanished. Based on Wen Yu's guess, it had likely merged into the massive light sphere before him. Slowly raising his right hand, Wen Yu gently touched the glowing object in front of him.
The sensation was identical to that of the small light point...
"Is it the same substance? No, calling it a substance seems a bit inappropriate..."
Wen Yu concluded about the unknown object before him—though the conclusion itself was uncertain as Wen Yu had no idea what it was...
Then, Wen Yu circled around the light sphere, wanting to see if there was anything else in the entire space. However, this glance startled Wen Yu!
...
A figure abruptly appeared in Wen Yu's field of vision, causing him to freeze for a moment before quickly reacting.
The twin swords, Crazy Song and Heartbeat, appeared in his hands, while Wen Yu's body slowly became hazy, immediately taking a defensive stance.
The figure before him remained motionless.
Wen Yu took two steps back as his perception ability rapidly spread out. However, the figure before him still did not appear in his perception.
"A corpse that doesn’t decay?"
Wen Yu could only make such an evaluation. However, this evaluation was unreliable because even a corpse could not hide from close-range perception.
So...
Before Wen Yu could think of a second explanation, the figure's eyelids trembled, and then, to Wen Yu's astonishment, it slowly opened its eyes.
...
"Tch..."
A disdainful snort came from the figure, then it closed its eyes again— as if treating Wen Yu like a stone blown by the wind.
There was no pressure, no hostility; the figure merely glanced at Wen Yu as if he were just another passerby.
Seeing this scene, Wen Yu took two more steps back. Thoughts flashed through his mind, and after a moment, Wen Yu slowly retracted Crazy Song and Heartbeat, bowing to the figure.
"Senior, I am Wen Yu, the young master of the Ten Thousand Immortal Alliance. I apologize for intruding here and disturbing you. I hope you can forgive me..."
In the bizarre situation where perception was ineffective and it was impossible to gauge the figure's strength, Wen Yu decisively chose to negotiate.
In fact, Wen Yu was not the type to act recklessly; especially after being "educated" by Wu Long, he felt it best to communicate rather than fight in the Seventh Layer of the Heavenly Palace.
The figure slowly waved its hand, its hoarse voice flatly uttered three words: “Don’t bother me…”
