However, just as Chu Ning closed his eyes, Xin Wuya's figure had disappeared.
In its place, emerged a graceful silhouette.
Cen Zijin, her face veiled, spoke softly to Chu Ning.
"Chu Ning, I was hunted by Foundation Establishment cultivators from the Cen Family and the Chen Family, while you hid away cultivating.
Now I'm alone and helpless in Yaochi Palace, and you don't even come to see me."
Realizing he was within an illusion realm, Chu Ning no longer easily trusted the scenes before him.
He kept his eyes tightly closed, unable to directly cultivate the Refining Spirit Technique.
Yet, in his mind, he continuously recited the cultivation mantra of the Refining Spirit Technique, concentrating and calming his spirit.
The scenes before Chu Ning kept changing.
Accompanied by the joys, fears, and sorrows of his cultivation journey, all kinds of illusions arose, incessantly eroding Chu Ning's consciousness.
