Kunlun Mountain, Jade Void Palace.
The great hall's doors were tightly shut. From time to time, a powerful force leaked out through the cracks, startling the Exposition Sect disciples left behind on Kunlun Mountain into repeatedly looking back.
"The power has been leaking out for half a year already. What could Master be doing inside? Could he be refining a top-grade innate treasure?"
"I heard Eldest Senior Brother was beaten in the Lower Realm until his body was shattered, leaving only his Primordial Spirit. Master must be reconstructing his body."
"How is that possible? Who would dare lay hands on a Saint's direct disciple?"
"You don't know this, then. A loose cultivator friend of mine happened to be cultivating in a small grotto-heaven near Zhuolu in the Lower Realm. He saw it with his own eyes that day..."
Outside the hall, more and more people gathered.
Inside the hall, Lord Yuanshi sat upon a cloud carriage, forming one set of Magic Arts after another with his hands. Each time he unleashed a technique, the golden sphere of light at the center of the hall burst forth with an even more dazzling radiance.
As Lord Yuanshi's hand seals grew faster and faster, the sphere of light became brighter and brighter.
With the final technique unleashed, the light suddenly contracted, continuously collapsing inward into the sphere. After the time it took for an incense stick to burn, Guang Chengzi's body emerged.
The moment the body fully appeared, Polar Immortal, who had been waiting for a long time, raised the Jade Ruyi in his hand. With a movement of his divine sense, an illusory Primordial Spirit flew out from the Jade Ruyi.
It was Guang Chengzi's Primordial Spirit.
At that moment, the Primordial Spirit held his hands before his dantian, his expression calm.
