On Lesser Thunder Sound Mountain:
Chu Qing moved faster and faster.
He repeatedly recited the incomplete scripture of Qi Ming Star. Not only did it cleanse the contamination within his body, it was also rapidly expanding.
The power of the scripture was actually blessing the steel plate.
The golden light blooming from the scripture on the steel plate grew ever brighter.
