Pei Jing asked, “Is he alright now?”
The Master of Zhongnan Peak replied, “Chang Wu has been in seclusion for a while now, and I haven’t seen much of him.”
Pei Jing nodded.
The Master of Zhongnan Peak said, “Since Senior Brother is here, let’s activate the formation.”
“Alright.”
As the Soul Probing Formation started, the chains that had fallen into the water from the high platform vibrated clearly. The man sitting at the center of the formation, deep in slumber with closed eyes, suddenly jerked, and his body rapidly turned red, noticeable even to the naked eye.
Pei Jing looked up from below.
The Soul Probing Formation had the power to unearth a person’s most vivid memories. Pei Jing witnessed the disciple’s furrowed brow, trembling teeth, and quivering limbs—an intense state of both cold and heat. Soon after, an azure fire ignited on the high platform, surrounding the disciple and chilling his features.
Because his arms were locked and trapped, he couldn’t move his body and huddled, his face covered in cold sweat. Despite the distance, they could still make out the faint murmurs from the boy’s troubled slumber. “Fire… such a big fire… it hurts so much…”
He repeated the words “fire” and “hurt” incessantly.
Chen Xu: “I haven’t seen this kind of fire very often.”
Pei Jing: “Unusual fire, blue or maybe grayish-white, perhaps similar to ghostly flames. But as for the azure color… it’s quite uncommon.”
The fire scorched the boy’s soul and **, causing him to twist his entire body into a contorted posture in his dream.
Just as the fire grew stronger, raging with increasing intensity, the flames suddenly converged from bottom to top, transforming into a colossal eye.
Everyone stood there, momentarily stunned.
The eye had a semi-circular shape, with clear whites and pupils that matched the azure color of the flames. The eye lacked vitality. Suddenly, it turned towards them, emanating an icy sharpness that pierced their hearts.
Above the sea of fire, the azure eye appeared—and at that moment, the disciple let out a shrill scream! “Aaaaaaah—!” He clutched his head, burying his fingers deep into his hair and drawing blood.
Just the mere glimpse into Spirit Realm had already caused him to break down like this. What could this disciple have possibly witnessed during his lifetime?
The Master of Zhongnan Peak activated the mechanisms of the formation, and the chains slowly moved while the azure phantom fire dissipated along the edges of the high platform. As for that disciple, once the nightmares dispersed, he gradually released his fingers and fell back into a prolonged slumber.
They exited the dark room.
Chen Xu: “That eye is quite strange. I can’t shake the feeling that it’s not a human eye. Human eyes shouldn’t grow in such a manner.”
Pei Jing: “Well, aren’t you clever? You’ve noticed that.”
Chen Xu ignored him and continued with his speculation, “It doesn’t resemble a human eye, but rather… the eye of a bird or a fowl.”
