Now, let's turn back time to the moment Feng Xia first stepped into Shunya's spiritual sea before entering New Fornia City.
The moment Feng Xia entered Shunya's spiritual sea — she froze.
Not because of hostility.
Not because of pressure.
But because what she saw made no sense.
For a brief second, she genuinely thought she had entered the wrong place.
This was supposed to be the spiritual sea of a mortal.
A low Hard-ranked cultivator by post-apocalypse standards.
Someone barely comparable to the old Spirit Realm.
And yet — the space before her stretched endlessly.
A boundless world of blue and silver light unfolded beneath her feet, calm like an ancient ocean yet impossibly deep. Countless streams of spiritual essence flowed like rivers across the sky itself, forming vast constellations of energy.
The density alone was absurd.
No — monstrous.
Feng Xia's pupils trembled slightly.
"…Impossible…"
Her voice echoed quietly through the spiritual sea.
