Accompanying the sudden appearance of these five virtual shadows were words as calm as could be.
It seemed that they were not directed toward the intruder Li Buren, but were rather a pre-recorded message.
"Immortal Guardian of the Hill Sheng De, I dare to pay respects to the wise ones."
"Once bearing the nameless, originally for transcendence. Yet the Dao's obliteration lurks, we cannot lose the burden upon our shoulders."
"By chance, I obtained this excellent method, to use shadow in place of form, capable of resisting the overwhelming tribulations."
"To share it with you..."
The five shadows spoke in unison.
What followed was not an ordinary sound. It was akin to a carving blade, directly imprinting this method upon the body of Li Buren, surrounded by the shadows.
He felt no pain, nor the slightest abnormality. It was as if memories originally belonging to him, yet sealed and forgotten, were once again revealed. It was not imparted, but "recalled" anew.
