The situation before him was very strange. This was the first time Xia Pingan had encountered such a situation when fusing with the realm bead. Xia Pingan realized that he did not have a body, but was just a pure consciousness.
This consciousness was connected with another consciousness, one like a vast ocean and the other like a trickle. The consciousness connected with his consciousness was connected with a body, who was standing in front of a huge wooden tray with closed eyes. The wooden tray was covered with a layer of fine sand. A metal circle was hanging above the sand. There was a bamboo brush in the metal circle. The circle was connected to a huge cross-shaped wooden frame. One end of the wooden frame was suspended above the beam in the middle of the room while the lower end hung down and was connected to the pen. It was movable like a huge mechanical arm made of wood and a bamboo pen. Under the bamboo pen was the wooden sand tray.
