Back inside the alchemy trial, Qing Yi had taken her first step inside the maze that led inside the mountain. Only to discover that the all too familiar mist had once again appeared and silently covered up the entrance to the maze behind her.
After entering the maze, she had no way back out! Not that she really had any plan to leave, as it would mean she gave up on the alchemy trial!
Having entered the maze, the first thing Qing Yi noticed, was that the cave walls around the entrance had completely disappeared. Replaced by a sea of mist that had formed into high walls reaching far up into the sky.
Even the rocky cave floor had changed to become the same as the sea of mist she had seen surrounding her own along with the other mountains inside the alchemy trial. The only thing catching her off-guard, was the fact that she could walk on top of the mist without sinking through it.
