Wang Yun was currently practicing meditation to hone the beast-taming arts. Using his Divine Sense, he projected his awareness into Tanhua, only to encounter fierce resistance from the Spirit Beast. Wang Yun had not realized at the time how perilous such an undertaking truly was. Years later, after mastering the Cultivation Formula of the Spirit Beast Mountain, he would look back upon this moment and thank his own limited abilities back then for stopping him in time. Entering the body of a ferocious beast with one's Divine Sense carried a severe risk of soul-seizure; with the slightest lapse in concentration, his consciousness would have remained trapped inside Tanhua forever.
Abandoning the attempt, Wang Yun let Tanhua run freely through the forest while he sensed the beast's movements from afar, testing the progress of his own sharp-sense cultivation. Tanhua bounded over a small hill and came upon Li Gewen and Sun Shuqing sparring.
The two were using bamboo sticks in place of sharp swords, tightly entangled in combat. Wang Yun whipped out his Observation Mirror, unwilling to miss any thrilling moments of a duel between masters. Every single detail of their exchanges was burned into his memory.
