A few hours later.
Jiang Yuan returns, reappearing in front of Shu Xiaoxiao.
"Young Master!" she exclaims joyfully.
"Let's go! We're heading deeper!"
Subsequently, Jiang Yuan is seen speeding through the depths of the Pearl Cave with Shu Xiaoxiao by his side.
Two hours later.
Jiang Yuan abruptly stops, as the terrifying power of the cave engulfs him.
His speed plunges dramatically.
An obscure message informs him that he has entered the second level of the Pearl Cave.
Jiang Yuan exhales lightly, quietly marveling at the formidable power that's restraining him.
At his current fifth level of the Divine Bridge Realm, he feels suffocated by this suppression.
His speed has decreased to a crawl: two miles in a single breath.
No wonder no one dares to venture this deep without reaching the Divine Bridge Realm.
Shu Xiaoxiao also smiles: "Indeed, once you've reached the Divine Bridge realm, this place doesn't feel as oppressive!"
