Just as Zhang Yu and Zhengqing had driven their flying vessel toward the Origin Xia barricade, Chen Shouzhi received the treasure husk left behind after the Censure-and-Praise Golden Tally had been destroyed.
This object was naturally to remain in Celestial Xia.
After putting it away, he continued to steer the treasure vessel while also creating an incarnation. With a turn of his thoughts, he arrived in the depths of the Clear Vault Cloud Sea.
He sent the treasure husk outward, and it slowly drifted upward, vanishing into the clouds and mist. It was to be handed over to the six Chief Inspectors for disposal.
