The young woht next to Daniel, while the core disciple tasked with guarding him, as well as her friends, stood a few meters away Daniel, on the other hand, had spent these three hours feeling an increasing degree of nervousness

This feeling was caused by the failure of the mission that was supposed to keep him alive in this universe, where rate every for with a wave of their hand In hiswhether he should have been more forceful in his attempt to not join this expedition, and if that would have prevented the quest froerous position he had been in when he had first reached this universe, he could only thank his ability ofhim to maintain his calm, and think ahead

At the end of these three hours, the azure canal inside which the platforh suddenly turned into a reddish one, which reminded people of the colors one would witness at dusk This change greatly worried a few of the students, who also happened to be the ones who had never experienced this kind of travel But before they could ask their more experienced companions for an explanation, the warped space stabilized around theain, Daniel could not help but feel in awe for the odd form of transportation that existed in this universe One that, like his mental teleportation, at least for cultivators who relied on the use of the surrounding mana, left absolutely no trace behind What surprised him even more, was how common these methods were in this universe, as shown by the tens of thousands of si the same sky as theirs
