At this moment, the seven-wheel Bright Light Zen Purification sarira halo slowly rose above the Silver-Leaf Buddhist Paulownia. Just before Jin Shique arrived, the seven-wheel sarira halos suddenly merged into one. The blazing radiance of the sarira flared violently, completely enveloping the immortal army formation below as it hurriedly formed a defensive array.
