The Great Venerate, deep in slumber on the throne, seemed to hear Dragon Wood Venerable's prayer and responded.
From the gloomy firmament above, a vibration suddenly ensued, and the sliver of light that cut through the great hall slowly shifted backward.
Dragon Wood Venerable knelt on both knees, head bowed, hands raised, palms up, silently accepting the grace from Sun Swallowing Venerable. Bathed in that streak of light, he looked as if showered by sweet rain. After looking up, Dragon Wood Venerable's skin was revealed, his cheeks etched with numerous dry cracks and desiccated ravines.
But after a few moments,
These fissures and ravines disappeared at an astonishingly fast pace.
His entire face smoothed over.
This "Holy Light" lasted for less than a hundred breaths, but Dragon Wood Venerable had undergone a complete transformation, his entire being altered, eyes sparkling with vitality.
He slowly rose and paid great respects before taking his leave.
