Above a roiling sea of clouds,
a golden Buddha statue over a hundred meters tall sat cross-legged, smiling as it watched the city beneath churn and bustle.
In a narrow alley a few kilometers below the statue, the Buddha's light from above the city briefly illuminated then vanished, revealing the body of a chubby Monk.
The Monk's head and limbs had been separated one by one, his skull cleanly cut open to expose his brain.
Yet this corpse was frozen mid-air, completely still, with neither blood nor Spiritual Energy flowing from the wounds.
Yuxu Immortal Venerable currently stood before the frozen body, curiously examining the Monk's brain.
"The Primordial Spirit is the vessel for some of the strongest beings' consciousness and holds the most comprehensive and important memories."
"Immortals value the Primordial Spirit and consciousness, often neglecting the importance of the brain."
