Zhang Chen followed closely behind Lady Biyun, going with her to pay respects to the Queen Mother of the West. The palace was still that familiar sanctuary, with countless light veils hanging within its halls. The Queen Mother of the West was shrouded in a layer of divine light, making it so that Zhang Chen couldn't clearly discern her visage through the veils.
"Greetings to the Queen Mother, Golden Armored Warrior Jia Shiba has completed his transformation. I await your instructions." Lady Biyun respectfully bowed to the Queen Mother, and Zhang Chen followed her lead, bowing as well.
Upon hearing Lady Biyun's words, the Queen Mother of the West, who was sitting upon the cloud bed, slowly opened her eyes. Her eyes, radiant with divine light, fell upon Zhang Chen.
Just those two gazes landing on him made Zhang Chen feel as if time and space had frozen, as if two invisible mountains were pressing down, causing him to involuntarily bend down.
