In the endless darkness, Lin Xuan had constantly forced himself to learn many things, like Sound Discrimination and discerning auras. He had to compel himself to cultivate these skills, to heighten his sensitivity.
If he hadn't mastered these skills, he would have been truly lost in the darkness, unable to save himself. No one brought him food, no one taught him Cultivation; he had forced himself to learn everything through sheer will.
He hadn't forgotten anything. He hadn't let this glory make him forget the foundation he had so painstakingly built. 'No effort is ever wasted, only those who fail to utilize it!'
When he perceived the sounds within the gorge, he knew it was time to use this skill. He didn't use the Soul Pearl's power at all, relying solely on his own abilities to run. Whether it was the Godslaying Domain last time or the Cyan Cloud Fire-Treading Step this time, he relied on his own power to accomplish it.
