Book 5 Chapter 29 – Golden Wok

　　Eyegla.s.ses left Lianyun City.

　　He hesitated and wavered, but Li Yiming's pleas were enough to convince him to reconsider his cemented opinion about the righteousness of Heaven's Laws, which was an achievement in itself for someone who could have been called a veteran guardian.

　　Liu Meng held Li Yiming's arm and slowly rested her head down on his shoulder. The two waited quietly as the barrier became closer and closer to being shattered.

　　Li Yiming did not try to convince Liu Meng to leave. He knew from the moment Liu Meng sacrificed herself in Shangbei that she would never agree to abandon him and let him risk his life alone. But if there was any regret Li Yiming had about his decision, it would be to have dragged Liu Meng into the affair.

　　The ground trembled rhythmically like a ma.s.sive drum. The giant rainbow-colored eagle had flown headfirst into the meteor shower, and with every flap of its wings, bolts of lightning obliterated the rocks around it in a giant explosion. However, there was not a hint of the meteors stopping as they formed a never-ending waterfall of fire from the sky.

　　Deep in the mountains to the south of the city, a shriek was heard as the giant trees were uprooted and thrown into the tornado that raged on. A shadow slithered and twisted in the middle of it, preventing it from nearing Lianyun City by a single inch.

　　As ripples continued to form on the golden barrier, Li Yiming appreciated just how strong the golden barrier was. With every explosion came a small tremor, but the barrier would recover right away. The golden light emitted by the wok continued to intensify, and it brightened to the point where it became painful to look at.

　　'This feeling… rage?" Li Yiming raised his head, looking at the platform on which the wok was set. 'This wok… it's feeling anger? But why am I able to capture its emotion?'

　　For a moment, Li Yiming almost lost control of his own emotions. 'Wait… there's something wrong …' He glanced at Liu Meng, who was somehow able to notice the influence the object had on Li Yiming's mental state.

　　Li Yiming focused on the wok and suddenly realized that he was no longer affected by the blinding golden light. Instead, he could see its rustic design in its entirety.

　　Ding!

　　Li Yiming thought he heard a chime somewhere in the distance.

　　'This…' Li Yiming knew that he was onto something important; the runic glyph that had saved his life twice already lit up once again, only flas.h.i.+ng for a moment, but Li Yiming was sure that he did not hallucinate.

　　"Stay here for a bit, I'm gonna go have a look." Li Yiming said to Liu Meng and activated Thunderflash.

　　"Oh? He's going to do it?" Stargaze looked at Li Yiming, who had reached the top of the stage, right where the wok laid. The latter had given her too many surprises already.

　　The golden wok looked just like a worn out piece of kitchenware one would find in any home, but Li Yiming felt a strange connection with the object, as if it was somehow his sibling, just like the first time he met Bai Ze.
