In the largest abandoned mine shaft of White Angelica Mountain—the very place where the Earth Dragon had first appeared—the Ink Stone vein that Zhou Tieyi had once excavated was long since exhausted. Now, it stood lonely and deserted.

In Miaoyu’s hand was an object resembling an iron lantern; its inner walls were etched with cloud-like patterns. Any practitioner with a modicum of insight would recognize these patterns as the "Cloud Script," a method of cultivation long since banned in Daxia.
Miaoyu held the lantern aloft, making a scooping motion toward the phantom moon. In the next instant, the center of the lantern—despite having no candle—began to glow with a pure, luminous light, mirroring the clarity of moonlight.
