After all, Ivy clearly remembered Ariana looking increasingly fit and fine.
Surely Ariana had already used her cultivation energy to activate the portal.

Her power was surging again.
She could clearly feel herself standing on the verge of another breakthrough.
However, unlike before, this breakthrough felt completely different.
A strange instinct deep inside her continuously warned her that she was about to unlock something major.
