Chapter 1014: The Sky Grew Bright (I)
That cool light flowed downward, and the dust-shrouded Shenyang Mansion[1] lit up once more. The delusive thoughts of the great void vanished like snow in the presence of blazing light. The sea stirred again, and the lotus bloomed once more.
Li Ximing felt a current of icy clarity circulate once through his Shenyang Mansion, like drinking frozen snow. All the delusion in his heart was completely swept away.
