Red River City, Shanshui Manor.
Underground Cultivation Room.
Xu Wuyi sat cross-legged with his eyes closed, his aura as serene as an abyss.
Within his sea of consciousness, the vast, dark-gold marsh was "breathing" with a slow, magnificent rhythm.
With every contraction and expansion, a crimson-gold light flickered deep within the marsh's heart.
That was the Golden Crow.
The fusion of the Heavy Water marsh and the Golden Crow Illusion had already taken a crucial step forward.
The Golden Crow no longer hovered above the marsh. Instead, it had sunk into its core, pulsing in sync with the marsh's respiration.
With each breath, the dark-gold Heavy Water and the crimson-gold Flame permeated one another, becoming intertwined.
But it still wasn't enough.
Xu Wuyi could feel that this fusion was still only at the level of "synchronization." Although the Golden Crow was hidden within the marsh, it wasn't completely concealed; its presence was still clearly discernible.
