~GROAN~

A groan of pain was heard in what looked like an empty cavern.

The only other sound that could be heard was that of a small stream that passed through it.

There was barely any light here and the little illumination that did exist came from the fine glowing moss that grew on the ground.

"Ugh! My shoulder…" A proper voice was heard this time, belonging to a young man.

If one looked carefully, they would see a person lying face down, a short distance away from the small stream. His body was riddled with injuries and the clothes he was wearing were tattered, almost turning to shreds.

The worst injury though, was on the man's shoulder where golden bones could be seen peeking out from the flesh. And not just a that, a fine crack could even be seen on the golden scapula.

"HAAA!" Lin Mu let out a grunt and made himself turn to his side.

He stayed in that position for a minute, before mustering more strength to make himself sit up.

"UGH! Where am I?" Lin Mu said with a grunt and winced in pain.

He opened his eyes but could barely see anything in the area. Other than the faint light coming from the moss that reflected off the small stream, there was little to see. This was strange to Lin Mu since he knew with his enhanced senses he should be able to see in this level of light far more clearly.

Unable to see anything or anyone, Lin Mu decided to focus on himself first.

"I need to treat my injuries… this is the first time I've gotten this injured after cultivating the True Gold Body Forging Arts." Lin Mu said to himself.

He was about to use his spirit sense to check when he realized that he was unable to.

"Huh? Why's my spirit sense not working?" Lin Mu was confused.

He tried to extend it from his body when he realized it simply did not leave the confines of it. Furrowing his brows, he tested it a little more and discovered something more.

'It works fine inside my body at least… still, this is too strange.' Lin Mu thought.

He went ahead and scanned his own body, only to find out the vast amount of injuries that he had.
