The sound of wriggling came from underground, as two Daoist temples collided together.
Bang, bang, bang.
When the courtyard walls collapsed, the soil revealed a mass of vein-like structures that gathered together, forcing the two Daoist temples to merge into one.
The veins extended outward, performing rudimentary repairs to the buildings.
The extra open space was filled by a viscous substance secreted from the ends of the veins, which solidified over time, forming a crude prototype of a Daoist temple.
The unique ecological chain of the Sword Tomb revolved entirely around the sealed flying swords.
Some sword cultivators noticed the anomaly near Zhi Mountain Temple and realized that the Cocoon Sword had undergone a transformation into a Little Night Wander, their faces showing a trace of schadenfreude.
(Let's make it easier to remember: Night Wander breaks down into Little Night Wander, Big Night Wander, and Night Patrol Deity.)
