On the Heart Inquiry Stone Tier, clouds and mist swirled, with illusions thriving. The six stone tiers were far apart from each other, and even though Gu Yuan immersed himself in the "Heart Inquiry Path," he couldn't see what was happening on the other five tiers.

He was calmly breaking illusions, slowly proceeding towards the peak.
However, the closer he got to the peak, the more real the illusions became. Countless images imagined deep in his heart rushed before his eyes like a carousel, constantly disturbing his mind.
Gu Yuan's steps slowed, and his pace up the tiers unintentionally decreased.
