Where Lin Dong, Yan Shu, and Lu Chen step into the next secret high-tier trial, facing mysteries and adversaries beyond the Ascended Forge.

The portal hums as the trio steps through, their forms swallowed by a cascade of prismatic light. When the glow fades, they stand atop a vast plateau suspended in the Veiled Realm—floating islands drifting through an endless sky of swirling gold and violet clouds.

Lin Dong scans the horizon, staff glowing with residual forge flame energy. “This… this isn’t like anything we’ve faced before. The laws of the realm… they’re… fluid here.”

Yan Shu balances on the edge of a floating rock, flames licking her palms. “It’s beautiful… and dangerous. Every step could be a trap, every gust of wind could hide a strike.”

Lu Chen crouches, sensing the currents around them. “And the energy… it’s denser here. Not just elemental… layered, complex… almost conscious.”

A low vibration hums through the ground beneath them. The shards orbiting Lin Dong pulse, sen

Lin Dong closes his eyes, staff floating before him, shards orbiting like miniature suns. “It’s not enough to simply wield this power,” he murmurs. “We must integrate it… make it an extension of ourselves.” Yan Shu crouches beside him, palms raised. Flames ignite softly along her fingers, merging with the residual energy from the Heart. “Every elemental flow we absorbed… it’s like pieces of a puzzle.

The air is dense with the scent of ozone and faint traces of elemental energy, as though the chamber itself is breathing.

Memories… and power… of those who came before us.” Yan Shu carefully examines the swirling light currents. “It feels like the realm itself is showing us… lessons. Patterns.
