Could a demon from the Shan Hai Jing be striking the mountaintop?At this moment, the waves pounding the cave were incredibly fierce. Powerful shockwaves kept erupting.

    The brush strokes of the scholars transcribing the precepts came to a sudden halt, as if the incessant murmurs had been silenced.

    The sense of fear, born from the incomprehensible, seemed to creep slowly through the underground plaza.
