He placed the palm-sized treasure in the formation and made it grow into a towering stone stele, leaving Shameless Cat rushing to inspect it.

• Yang Zhen led everyone into a vast, beautiful cavern inside White Cloud Mountain and explained that the Nine Calamities Burning Yang Formation could hide the Emperor Treasure from even a Half-Step Great Saint.
