Passing the Second Test

John had come to this conclusion based on many things. When he first entered, him and adam unknowingly became isolated from everyone else, which caught his attention. Then just a few minutes later, he found himself separated from Adam, who was just mere yards from him as they walked.

This happened without his notice, and so there were only two explanations for this that he could come up with. The first was that an enemy, so powerful as to be unnoticed, swooped in and took all the other cultivators. However, this was a testing grounds, and such a thing would be worthless as a test. Also, why had he not been targeted yet?

The other explanation was that there was some sort of illusion formation in the city, obscuring his vision and altering his reality.
