The entrance to the Spiritual Cultivation Secret Realm looked like an ordinary cave, roughly three meters in diameter and pitch-black. Entry was only possible by holding a Guiding Key. Inside, the Secret Realm followed its own spatial laws; each person would enter a separate space that corresponded to their Spiritual Energy attribute.
Upon entering the Secret Realm, Ning Xuan immediately sensed a pure Fire Element Energy. This external energy resonated with her own bloodline, causing her Companion Spirit to automatically leave her body and transform into a Vermilion Bird more than three meters long. Ning Xuan's vision swam, and when she tried to perceive her body, she discovered she was now *inside* the Vermilion Bird. Her physical form was curled up in its abdomen, but her Divine Sense could roam freely throughout its body.
'Is this what it means to merge with a Companion Spirit?'
