The night fell, and the mountains appeared divine.
In the Tingfeng Pavilion, Chen Fei sat cross-legged in the moonlight, his figure slightly moving. The vital energy within him was trembling ever so slightly.
"Hum!"
A ripple emanated from Chen Fei's center and spread outwards. As the ripple passed through, the surroundings seemed to be encased in amber. Leaves fell but remained suspended in mid-air, motionless.
Chen Fei slowly opened his eyes, and as the night breeze brushed past, the leaves gently descended to the ground. It all felt like an illusion.
Reaching the Second Stage of the Combined Aperture Tempering realm was achieved with such calmness. In contrast to the turbulence caused by advancing from the First Stage, this promotion felt like a natural progression.
Normal advancements from the First Stage to the Second Stage wouldn't bring about significant disturbances.
