Cultivation knows no passage of time; Xu Qing was immersed in seeking enlightenment, paying no attention to worldly matters beyond the window.
By the time the Goddess' teachings were completed and she returned to the divine temple, three entire years had passed in the outside world.
Xu Qing stepped out of the restored Middle Emperor Temple, where many temple visitors were hustling up the mountain path, eager to be the first to light incense.
At the temple gate, the temple priest, who had been sweeping fallen leaves early in the morning, looked on in astonishment at the emerging 'Goddess'.
At this moment, Xu Qing still retained the appearance of the Bao Sheng deity, adorned in a robe wreathed with incense, with the wheel of merit reflecting the Blood Lake Realm portal behind him, holding the emblematic pink ball that signified the identity of the Goddess.
Was this not a divine revelation of the Goddess?
