Completely ignoring the man's changing and unpredictable expression, Li Dai stepped closer to him. Thinking of the contents of the I Ching, she silently began to circulate her mental cultivation technique. Suddenly, a wonderfully clear and transparent sensation rose from her heart, and a mysterious power seemed to begin flowing through her entire body. Li Dai did not know what that power was, but it made her mind much clearer. Relying on her willpower, she directed that energy with her spiritual force toward the center of her eyebrows. Sure enough, the Eye of the Saint opened as if stimulated, and she saw the man's future, as well as why he had come to participate in this trial at Tongtian Hall.
As it turned out, he had entered this place out of unwillingness, hoping to find some heavenly treasures to heal his injuries, and even yearning to regrow his spirit root.
Li Dai also understood that his spirit root had been forcefully ripped out. Perhaps because his original spirit root had been too exceptional and had integrated too deeply with his body, even though it was torn out, a tiny trace had remained and hadn't been completely drained away.
