Epang Palace was like a long-neglected, filthy, and cluttered house, in need of an enormous amount of energy to be sorted out.
Several palaces still held the remains of Golden Statues, abandoned due to their heavy damage and the prohibitively high costs of repairs.
Lu Yao, with his immense wealth and disregard for expenses, still thought about restoring them, which would be a huge undertaking.
"I need to learn to capture the 'spirit mechanisms', there's plenty of busywork ahead," he mused.

Entering the terrifying thunderstorm, darkness engulfed him in an instant; heaven and earth seemed to merge into a millstone pressing down, intent on grinding him to dust.
But Lu Yao had already become fearless.
