Troubles
Maria looked around and noticed she was in some sort of cavern, but surprisingly it wasn't dark inside the cave. While that in itself was already a bit odd, another thing Maria immediately took note of was the dense amount of Qi present in the cavern. It far surpassed the density of Qi above ground. Normally, this would cause Maria to get excited thinking she just found a place full of treasures or Spirit Stones, but she honestly couldn't tell whether all of this was real or not.
Even if it was real, the chances of it being a trap are exceedingly high.
She didn't want to believe that a formation can simulate a higher density of Qi with just illusions, but after thinking it over, she felt like she might've been too naive. All it has to do is make one feel like the density of Qi is higher and it's not like such a feeling is unique. Every cultivator can feel a difference in Qi density and it feels the same for everyone regardless of their strength.
