"The Jade Chamber's ascent begins."
Several days later, near Blackcliff Forge, after the Jade Chamber had been completed, Ningguang presided over its launch ceremony. The reconstructed Jade Chamber was unchanged in overall design, but it was considerably larger than before. As it rose into the air, large numbers of Millelith began teleporting aboard.
