Listening to the pleasant chants ringing through the air, Su Lanyue couldn't help but gently close her eyes. Her whole body relaxed, and the fatigue she had accumulated over the past six months vanished. Her mind became utterly serene.
The chants drifted into the rear courtyard like wisps of blue smoke, seeped into Shi Lan's room, and enveloped her completely in a faint golden radiance.
The crack-covered Golden Rainbow lay quietly to one side. The instant the Buddhist light fell upon it, it trembled slightly.
No one knew how much time had passed before Shi Lan, lying on the bed, suddenly opened her eyes and sprang upright. She stared blankly at the quilt covering her for a long while before a little light slowly returned to her gaze.
A throbbing pain deep in her mind made Shi Lan want to clutch her head. She had only just raised her hand when it touched Golden Rainbow lying beside her.
Shi Lan reached out and gently traced the cracks along the sword's body with her finger. She softly thanked it. Whatever Golden Rainbow had been like before, at least it hadn't faltered when she faced a life-or-death crisis.
The chants reaching her ears eased the pain somewhat, but couldn't dispel it completely.
Recalling what had happened before she lost consciousness, Shi Lan bore down against the throbbing pain and silently called out in her heart.
"Samsara."
"Samsara?"
"Samsara..."
When no reply came even after a long while, Shi Lan sat stunned for a moment, then brought up the long-unseen Heavens Reincarnation System panel.
