A moment later, the distortion vanished. However, now faintly visible, right behind Mount Daoseed, was... another peak!
This was... the ninth mountain peak of the Spirit Stream Sect. Although the Sect Leader was aware of its existence, even he hadn't noticed the previous strange distortion.
The ninth mountain peak of the Spirit Stream Sect was extremely quiet and serene, with all the plants and vegetation covering it being pitch black. At the top of the mountain, sitting quietly on a black peach tree, was a monkey with mixed emotions visible in its eyes.
If Yan Xiaobao were there, he would recognize it immediately. Surprisingly... it was a contemplative monkey that had eaten one of his mysterious pills and that he had released into the wild not long ago.
Finally, the monkey sighed.
"I know you're there," it said. "You might as well stop hiding."
