As time passed, the Flowing Sand River regained its calm, yet the effects of the great battle that had occurred would take a long time to dissipate.
Buddha Light and Demonic Qi shone upon each other, cleaving the Flowing Sand River into two worlds. The lingering human Fortune and Destiny stirred the area's vital energies into a tangled mess.
If anyone were to enter this zone, they would be immobilized by human Fortune and Destiny, then torn to shreds by the vortexes of Demonic Qi and Buddha Light.
Only Lu Yu, seated at the heart of the vortex, was calm as he slowly refined his Treasure.
