He closed his eys to prepare for the crash, but a moment later, few moments later, even a minute later, the crash did not come as predicted. This made Xian Li open his eyes in surprise.
He saw that he was at a completely different place from the the space of the Cycle Of Reincarnation. He looked around and saw that he was at complete plain grond covered with grass which looked naturally beautiful.
Everywhere, to the point where Xian Li's eyes could see, there was nothing but grass and cleas skies with some clouds hovering over.
This scene was simple, yet elegant and beautiful. This was what True Nature felt like...
Simply... Breathtaking!
He suddenly noticed a flash of light passing through the corner of his eyes. He turned towards the light and saw nothing but he felt a strange feeling as if countless eyes were staring at him.
As if those eyes covered the entire skies and ground and were only looking at him without any expression visible in their eyes. The eyes differed in size but similar in nature.
This was something Xian Li felt, not see, as is they were invisible to any eye. But suddenly, this feeling completely disappeared as if it never existed before when a shadow was seen sitting under the shadow of a tree.
The tree which was not there before!
Xian Li narrowed his eyes as he took the first step. After a few steps, he felt something strange happening. He saw his foot and ground and then towards the shadow under the tree. He furrowed his eyebrows even more as he felt that he was still at the same position.
He took some more steps and saw that he was still at the same position.
As if he was stuck at his place, unable to move yet still move at the same time.
As if a chain was binding him to his place.
If someone from Earth was on the stead of Xian Li, he would fell like walking on a treadmill.
But this was not Earth, nor there was technology. This was world of Cultivation, Swords, Immortals, Sects and Mythical Creatures!
After trying a couple of more times, Xian Li decided to see and comprehend the problem. He, first, looked at the shadow who was still sitting leisurely, like it did not see Xian Li at all.
Xian Li looked at his surroundings and tried to find the solution of the problem.
Time passed. It was unknown how much time had passed, seconds, minutes, hours, probabaly days but Xian Li was still trying to find the cause.
He was trying hard to find the solution becuse his institution told him that it was some kind of test. But he did not know what type of test. What did it tested?
He looked at the shadow again and showed a surprised look on his face as the shadow was not where it was supposed to be. He looked around but the shadow was nowhere to be seen.
This was strange because, from the moment that shadow arrived under that tree, it made no movement.
Then, a hand touched Xian Li's shoulder's which caught him off-guard. He immediately reacted and got away from the hand. He saw that an old woman was standing in front of him, but then the figure became unclear and changed into that of an old man. The old man looked straight in the eyes of Xian Li and then smiled.
He came forward and waved his hands.
Sound of glass breaking was heard and Xian Li immediately understood what had happened.
The problem which had cptured him was broken. Xian Li had already guessed that the problem was the Array. An array which Xian Li could not understand no matter where and how he looked at it. It was probably something from the Universe.
Xian Li tried to move and took some step and realised that it was truly broken. He sighed. He was finally fr...
But he remebered something. He looked towards the old man who was still smiling at him. Just when Xian Li was about to speak, that old man vanished like shadow. Xian Li looked around and saw that the shadow which was sitting under the tree had returned.
