If Bai Zichen hadn't been mistaken, the true realm of that impulsive, short-tempered, and arrogant young cultivator in white robes was not the Early-Stage Core Formation it appeared to be.
The instant his final sword strike came down, Chen Ze parried it, and a vast, powerful True Essence flashed for a fleeting moment—but Bai Zichen still caught it.
He was clearly at Late-Stage Core Formation, having hidden his cultivation to get close to Shen Moqun.
He had almost fooled Bai Zichen himself.
'I haven't cultivated any Spiritual Eye Techniques, so my Divine Sense alone often fails me… Elder Shen is running around trying to rope in outside cultivators to explore that Cave Mansion. I wonder what expression he'll make when he finds out the cultivator at his side is actually a Late-Stage Core Formation Cultivator.'
Bai Zichen increasingly felt that there was something strange about Shen Moqun's invitation; there had to be a secret unknown to outsiders.
