Chang Wudao held absolute authority within the Earth Fire Sect. No one could defy him. Even though Li Tiancheng considered the decision unwise, he was powerless to change it. He could only hope things wouldn't develop as he feared.
That very day, Li Tiancheng slipped away from the Liuyun Mountain Range unnoticed. No one knew where he had gone...
Another month slipped by in the blink of an eye, and the refining of the Spirit-Slaying Gourd was finally nearing its end.
"Open."
Song Changsheng abruptly slapped the Bronze Cauldron, and its heavy lid flew open.
In an instant, a resplendent radiance burst forth!
When the radiance faded, a black and white gourd lay inside the cauldron. It faintly resembled a Tai Chi Diagram. Though forged from metal, it lacked any metallic texture; its surface was smooth and seemed a flawless work of nature.
Song Changsheng stared at the gourd's drastically changed appearance and couldn't help but wonder, 'How did it change color?'
