When Hua Qiudao returned, he happened to see Zhou Gucheng, who also returned from elsewhere.
He asked with slight astonishment, "You awoke before any of us, so where did you go?"
Zhou Gucheng heard this and was silent for a while before saying, "I've been awake since being in the space-time, so I saw some things. Earlier, I went outside to have a look."
"You were already awake in the space-time? It makes sense, as your path of self-severance has reached another extreme. The space-time cannot shatter your Dao heart, so you can remain clear-minded at all times."
Hua Qiudao mused thoughtfully.
"It's colder outside than here, and the pressure in terms of realm is even greater. Further away, there are very large crystal spider fierce beasts. These beasts, seemingly crafted from crystal, have extremely strong defenses. I tried, and even my strongest blow only left a mark, without causing any damage.
