"Although I am afraid of the cultivation world, there is something I am even more afraid of— the feeling of being powerless," she responded with a solemn look on her face.
Yuan watched everything unfold as usual, silently wondering when he would finally be allowed to begin the last trial.

Time continued to pass, and the events unfolded just as they had before, from entering the Immortal Monastery to performing chores in the Bamboo Garden.
