Chen Cuo's Azure Lotus Incarnation was already in turmoil after the embryonic Dharma Form's Annihilation.
His steps were unsteady and he staggered as he walked. After only a few paces, his figure even flickered in and out of sight, as though it might vanish at any moment!
The Green-Robed Daoist Boy had been ordered by the long-haired man to find an opportunity to present the Nine Apertures Spirit-Anchoring Method. He had lingered for a long time without finding the right moment.
Before that moment came, however, he suddenly saw Chen Cuo in this state. Afraid the incarnation would disappear and leave his task unfinished, he could not risk the Patriarch's displeasure. Casting all else aside, he appeared at once and, with a stiff claim that he had sensed something, offered up the book.

The scroll slowly unfurled, letting a glimmer of light escape!
No! How is this painting visualizing itself in my mind?
As the thought arose, the escaping light surged out like a torrential rain, illuminating Chen Cuo's thoughts!
The next instant, those thoughts began to swell wildly!
In a flash, the Mind Daoist within Chen Cuo broke apart, becoming a host of thoughts that ravaged the depths of his mind like a gale!
Creak! Creak! Creak!
Within a breath, Chen Cuo's thoughts had swollen almost to their limit!
At this rate, my thoughts will burst!
Knowing the danger, he gathered all his focus to rein in his mind. He forcibly dispelled the memory, drove away the painted scroll, then sealed it deep within himself!
It sounded complicated,
