That night.

Upon returning to his residence, Lei Kuo immediately took out the Spiritual Wood of the Water Crown Tree he had won at the auction earlier that day. He carefully cut about one-tenth of it, ground it into a fine powder, and mixed it with other incense-making materials, including the incense ash from the Precious Spirit Sect. Soon, he crafted a new stick of black incense.

Next, he took out the Heaven-Stealing Cauldron, inserted the finished black incense, calmed his mind, and attempted to possess Sha Hao.

Before long, Yuan Ming's vision shifted, and he found himself inhabiting Sha Hao's body once again.
