In the center of Suling Cave, An Jing stood up. Behind his head, the Great White star aspect rotated in reverse, while the lotus platform at his chest vibrated faintly, causing the Monster Core atop it to erupt with a brilliant white radiance.
The white, metallic light emitted from the Monster Core began as a mere thread, fine as silk, but it grew broader the further it traveled. By the time it reached the far ends of the chamber and projected onto the four walls of Suling Cave, the Metal Qi had expanded to several feet in width. Its intent was incomparably sharp; with a gentle sweep, it carved mysterious golden patterns into the stone walls, as if illustrating the method of tempering thousand-fold gold and condensing the Great White celestial essence.
The Primordial Geng-Metal essence, guided by An Jing’s Seven Killings destiny, had merged with the Monster Core and settled into the heart of the Sword Lotus. The Monster Core now served as the pivot for the Sword Lotus, thoroughly refining the prototype of the dharma treasure.
