The Martial Unity

"...Then let us continue," his grandmother remarked.

She conjured up a barrier separating them as she once more unleashed her full power, activating the Eye of Prophecy at full power.

Rui narrowed his eyes as her Martial Embodiment washed into his mind.

The world changed once more.

Visions of the Beast Domain continuously sprung up in his mind, showing the many fantasies and horrors of the domain of beasts.

He saw a large landscape extending into the horizon with all manners of flora and fauna living there. The bedrock of the land glowed with a spectrum of lights, indicating the presence of rich esoteric substances.

The very next moment, the vision shifted, showing an icy land with an extraordinary blizzard.

The very next moment, it shifted to a region in the sky filled with floating islands similar to the Ajanta Floating Island of the Floating Sect.

It shifted to a ruined forest ravaged with destruction.

It shifted to a a sea that stretched far beyond the eye could see.

Countless visions flashed through his mind.

Then, his vision shifted to the Divine Doctor once more.

The man stared at him with an intrigued smile, almost as if he were watching an interesting experiment unfold.

"Welcome to my prison," the man remarked. "I came here looking for clues regarding the illness of my latest patient, but alas, I was only shown that this world was even more fantastical than I had ever expected."

Rui tried responding to him, but alas, this wasn't a conversation.

"The Beggar Sage never noticed; what a fool," the Divine Doctor grinned at Rui with glee. "He always misses the most important stuff because he operates from the shadows."

Rui didn't know what he meant, but he stared right into Rui's eyes when he uttered those words.

"Eternal Dream disease?" He murmured, bored. "Trivial. Has the medical community not figured that one out yet? Tsk tsk."
