Hao Xuan took a deep breath and closed his eyes to complete the first step of the plan. His consciousness entered the token and appeared in a new space.
When Hao Xuan opened his eyes again he was surrounded by darkness on all sides. He was standing on what looked like a black sea.
Even he didn't expect this to happen.
"Show yourself," he said softly. A faint ripple spread out with him as the center but there was no other change. He frowned at first but then saw something from the corner of his eye.
There were two golden eyes staring up at him from somewhere deep within the sea. His heart almost skipped a beat until he realized it was only his consciousness in here and not his actual body.
"Why are you hiding? Or rather, how did you even do...this?" he asked looking around. There was no light whatsoever in this space with only the black seawater under his feet.
