Back in the black coffin hidden realm, Xiao Nanfeng remained deep in meditation. He was focused on a particular spot within his body. It seemed vague and illusory and was shrouded in fog. Even so, there was a golden droplet within it that trembled delicately.0

After an interminable amount of time, a brilliant golden core appeared within the droplet. It pulsed gently as it absorbed a mysterious energy.0

Xiao Nanfeng watched on as the core began to grow, eventually drawing the entire golden droplet within it. Then, the core split open, forming a seed-like structure. Fine roots grew out of one side, and a golden sprout from the other.0

As the golden droplet was completely absorbed, the seed began to grow. Its roots were anchored in the fog-shrouded ground as the sprout stretched upward.0

Soft golden light radiated from the sprout, filling Xiao Nanfeng with an inexplicable sense of tranquility. In this light, he was able to "see" the surroundings for the first time.0

The space appeared to be desolate...0
