In the deepest reaches of consciousness, Fang Cheng seemed to find himself amidst an endless ocean.
Surging tides came rushing from all sides, enveloping him completely.
The place was dark beyond imagination, like the chaos before the birth of the world, with not a single ray of light able to penetrate.
Even the flame that burned there could only maintain its weak yet stubborn glow amidst the overwhelming darkness.
This was Fang Cheng's "Spiritual Fire."
Its core flame was a deep blue, like the sea's surface beneath the azure sky, clear and serene, encompassing all, hiding unspeakable mysteries.
Upon a closer look, a faint glimmer seemed to flicker.
This was the initial stirring of Spiritual Energy, symbolizing the most genuine self-awareness within Fang Cheng's soul, transformed from the purest obsessions.
Though not dazzling, it was as solid as a gem, never wavering despite the dark tides crashing upon it wave after wave, always holding firm to its original intent.
