Within Tianji Pavilion's stabilized pocket dimension, dozens of figures bustled about.
Their work was the same as before: deciphering the items excavated from the Ancient Ruins, which seemed to belong to another civilization.
Yue Ling was among them as well.
She had arrived at Tianji Pavilion early on. To her, this life was much like her days in the Moon Worship Cult, immersing herself in research and experiments every day.
Though most experiments ended in failure, discovering anything new always left her excited for a long while.
Yue Ling carefully used spiritual energy to control a crystal shard the size of a fingernail, slowly moving it onto an experimental platform engraved with all manner of formations.
The crystal shard was entirely transparent, reflecting dazzling colors under the light. A closer look revealed countless fine patterns upon it.
They looked like miniature formations compressed and condensed to the utmost extreme, all gathered onto this tiny crystal shard.
And that was indeed the case.
After their research over this period of time, they had confirmed that the patterns on the crystal shard were indeed something akin to formations. They could process energy to achieve corresponding effects.
As for exactly what effects they produced, that could only be learned through experimentation.
Generally speaking, the greater the area covered by a formation on Tianlan Continent, the more powerful it was. This held true regardless of the formation's type.
Because the larger the area, the more Formation Inscriptions could be engraved, and the more intricate they could be. This allowed for more detailed control over the circulation of spiritual energy and prevented many unforeseen circumstances.
Of course, because of practical applications, there were times when a formation's area needed to be kept within certain limits—such as the Crystal Panels used to display images.
