In an instant, the shadows of the Giant Kun and Great Peng transformed together, their forms contracting into two Daoist figures.
The two incarnations bowed in unison.
"Daoist Mingkun/Daoist Yunpeng, we pay respects to the main body."
Bei Ming looked at the two of them and gave a slight nod. "Two Fellow Daoists, there is no need for such formalities.
