「Outside.」
Hu Qi opened his eyes, a blood-gold light flickering in their depths before vanishing.
Immediately after, a blood-gold radiance—invisible to the naked eye and perceptible only through the Power of the Heart—enveloped the space in a one-kilometer radius.
In that instant, it was as if a pause button had been pressed on this entire space. Even the wind seemed to stand still.
And that was exactly what had happened.
"So this is it," Hu Qi murmured. "The Pseudo Domain of the Divine Image Realm."
He looked to the side and saw a verdant pine tree with twisting branches growing from a crevice in the rock face.
He could clearly sense the tree giving off a crisp, slightly pungent fragrance mingled with the scent of resin.
He wasn't smelling this with his nose, but rather sensing it through the Power of the Heart.
Typically, a living creature perceives the outside world through five primary senses: smell, sight, hearing, touch, and taste.
