Morning light pierced through the clouds, casting a golden rim over the battered halls of the Sky Evolution Sect. In front of the main peak's grand hall, Sixth Elder Lu Qingming sat upright in a cyan jade chair. Though his complexion remained somewhat pale, his deep, ancient eyes had regained their clarity.
