The Taiqing ruins before us were beginning to tear apart at the earth veins because of the grand formation. The cracks in the land were enormous, yet there was no sign of the pieces separating from each other. Riding on Kunpeng's back with everyone else, I circled the area three times. Though I knew the reason, I still couldn't help feeling uncertain.

So even though they cracked apart, they remained interlocked under the opposing forces. But we anticipated this long ago, which was why the people on Gourd Immortal City's side should have abandoned their upward movement after activating the grand formation...
