Xuanling Realm, Heavenly Court.
Lu Yang sat cross-legged on a meditation cushion, holding a strand of multicolored light in his hand. Mist swirled within it, and only upon closer inspection could one make out what seemed to be a disc-shaped object inside.
The Time-Shifting World-Transposing Instrument.
A Dharma treasure refined by the World Honored One from City-Wall Earth, allowing anyone to use the fundamental profundities of the Supreme Fruit Position by injecting it with dharma power.
