Lin Yuan prepared to accelerate, intending to flash step directly to the peak of the mountain. However, just as he was about to expend the necessary spiritual qi, a profound sound brushed against the edges of his Divine Sense.

He abruptly halted his movement.

His physical form resolidified in mid-air, hovering gently above the area that blanketed the base and lower slopes of the mountain. Lin Yuan looked down, his eyes detecting vitality. He could hear the thundering of massive heartbeats, the snapping of timber, and the roars of creatures fighting for dominance below.
