The Ten Thousand Insect Mother Empress pushed open the temple's gate, sealed in dust for countless millennia, and saw beast-headed bronze lamps sequentially lighting up in the dark great hall, illuminating it as if it were daylight.
The scene within the temple started to clearly reflect in her eyes.
The temple was supported by six enormous black jade pillars, with a central altar, above which stood a towering golden faceless godlike statue almost touching the temple's dome.
It seemed like a deity overlooking all beings from on high.
In front of the statue was placed a black throne.
Upon the throne sat a middle-aged cultivator with a somewhat dark expression, motionless.
At the moment the temple's door fully opened, accompanied by a soft 'click' sound, the figure of the middle-aged cultivator on the throne suddenly collapsed, disintegrating into a pile of gold powder on the throne.
