Cen Dongsheng had his eyes tightly shut, the eyeballs trembling beneath the eyelids, as his body subtly relaxed, his expression remained grave.
His breathing was still relatively steady, or rather, he was consciously controlling it to prevent the restless True Qi from damaging his meridians.
In contrast, his consciousness was fully immersed in the Heart Lake, focusing his thoughts to resist the unrest seeping from the depths of his visualization.
The source of being possessed by the devil was the Ape Demon Power that had just been absorbed into his body. Cen Dongsheng was well aware of this, knowing his own target.
For this reason, Cen Dongsheng lowered his guard and entrusted his safety to his two companions.
On the "physical" level, this was probably the most relaxed Cen Dongsheng had been since his rebirth... No, since becoming a Forbidden Master.
