Song Ciwan couldn't help but laugh at her own reaction. 'Human psychology really is a funny thing,' she thought. 'With my current Cultivation, I can easily tell a human from a phantom even without a Magical Treasure. Huijiang City is, without a doubt, a normal city, and the mortals here are just normal mortals.'
But Song Ciwan had encountered so many strange and bizarre things that she now found herself inexplicably suspicious of anything normal.
'It feels like something being too normal is, in itself, abnormal!'
It just went to show how one's subconscious could train itself. After facing so many crises, the absence of one actually felt unsettling.
In reality, however, the Great Zhou Immortal Dynasty's rule was still strong. If things had truly reached a point where phantoms lurked around every corner, wouldn't the Great Zhou have collapsed long ago?
