Chapter 41 Lord Tong Chen

So, who is the "master" of this Lanruo Temple, exactly?

Actually, it wasn't anyone particularly formidable, just a devil path.

This being was originally an image of Spiritual Treasure Venerate consecrated in a small Daoist temple at the foot of Mount Kunlun, and having received incense offerings for several centuries, it had become sentient.

One might wonder, can a statue become sentient?

According to logic... it shouldn't, because whether it's a Daoist or Buddhist statue, they're considered to be avatars receiving incense on behalf of their deity and shouldn't develop their own consciousness.

But there was something unusual with this Spiritual Treasure Venerate Image—the material was "different."

Generally, the material for making such statues is primarily bronze since it is corrosion-resistant and its color appears noble, making the finished statue look akin to the so-called "golden body" of gods.
