"Thump! Thump!"
Li Fan's heart suddenly beats uncontrollably, pounding within his chest.
As if he is witnessing his own gruesome death in the near future.
Without thinking, Li Fan wants to murmur [Real] in his heart and return to his anchored moment.
But in a flash, he feels something is not right and abruptly stops himself.
The mysterious Heart-Refining Spell slowly grinds the fear bubbling up in his heart, transforming it into nourishment for his mind. At the same time, it buys Li Fan a precious sliver of calm to think.
"Could it be that Zhang Zhiliang noticed something and intended to harm me this way?"
"No... He should have ascended to the God Transformation stage by now. It makes no sense to go to such lengths just to deal with a minor Foundation Establishment Cultivator like me."
"He could just take action directly."
"So, the bizarre situation at hand is the work of the [Mind Steed] itself?"
While pondering, Li Fan suddenly feels disoriented.
