Aboveground, at the foot of Li Mountain.
The bright moon hung high.
Suddenly, winds rose and clouds surged across the night sky. In an instant, dark clouds filled the once-clear heavens, blotting out the sky and moon! Fierce winds howled, whipping up sand and stones.
The origin qi within several miles churned wildly, as though stirred by an invisible giant hand!

The golden dragon fully solidified, coiling in midair, its eyes like lightning
