This was Chen Shi's first time brandishing the West King's Jade Seal as a magical treasure.
The West King's Jade Seal of the past did not possess much might. Without the Map of Mountains and Rivers, without the Conferment of Gods, the West King's Jade Seal was merely an ordinary magical treasure carved from jade. Yet, combined with the Map of Mountains and Rivers, combined with the local deities everywhere, its might grew increasingly great.
