The morning light began to shine, the water sparkled, as if countless dazzling diamonds leaped among the waves.
A red sun slowly rose above the sea, golden sunlight scattered across the surface, projecting a blinding radiance.
Seagulls soared across the canvas of light and shadow, sometimes circling, sometimes diving towards the sea.
In the distance, several sailing boats quietly navigated the waters, with white sails billowed by the breeze, creating a sharp contrast against the deep blue sea.
Shen Siyuan, seated cross-legged atop the tall city wall, was tinged with a layer of golden hue by the sunlight, looking as if the Buddha himself had descended to earth.
At this moment, within his Sea of Consciousness, a nascent sun also rose, reflecting both inside and outside, connecting to the Wood Qi within his body, and life suddenly surged, spreading outward from his body.
