Julian looked perplexed.
The cultivators chuckled, and their lingering souls gradually dispersed within the formation. They exhausted their cultivation to pacify the remnant souls.
Countless spiritual lights surged from the ground toward the sky.
Darkness began to descend, and everything began to fade away. Wynter knew that the formation was about to dissipate. The students, who were unaware, were frightened and panicked.
Julian's hand was also fading. "Mr. Trevino wants me to listen to you, and he—"
"Enough, Atwater. There's no time. I'm Wynter Quinnell. Remember to come find me and accept me as your apprentice."
Wynter wanted to bring Celestial Dragon out before the formation completely disappeared. Her gaze swept over the formation's entrance.
"I'll definitely learn fortune-telling and the Arcane Way from you. I'll also help you if you want to ascend."
Julian was bewildered. "Me, accepting you as my apprentice? Are you confused?"
Before he could finish speaking, the mountain peak began to sway.
The students looked at each other. They began to scream incessantly as they watched themselves fade away.
"Don't panic. Once you're completely gone, you can go back." Wynter placed a token on each of them. It was linked to the mortal realm and would allow them to return safely without interference.
The girl in the Foplyanese outfit refused to obey. "Why should we trust you? Maybe you just don't want us to leave!"
Wynter clutched the urn with one hand and gripped Celestial Dragon with the other hand.
She sneered. "You think too highly of yourself. You don't deserve to stay here. Go back. Only then can I make you pay."
The girl was the first to disappear. Everything around her began to change.
The final sight that the boy saw was a figure standing amidst heaven and earth. Just as when he had arrived, he cast a rope and vanished into the boundless darkness.
The invisible energy dissipated halfway up the mountain.
