Hum!
An indescribably profound Dao Resonance spread from the silhouette's fingertip, as though it had touched the deepest mysteries of the formation.
Fang Chen was shocked to discover that the threads of Return to Ruin Sword Intent at his fingertips, which had been struggling to reconcile the two kinds of Earth Veins energy, seemed to gain a spirit of their own.
They no longer needed him to expend enormous mental effort controlling them by force.
The hazy gray threads divided and extended on their own. Like living vines, they wound precisely around the crimson and Dark Gold streams of Earth Veins energy. Yet rather than subduing them with brute force, they gently guided them in a strange rhythm.
In an instant, the raging dragons seemed to have their reverse scales soothed.
The crimson essence of fire and earth and the sharp, Dark Gold metal energy no longer clashed or repelled each other. Guided by those hazy gray threads, they began to intertwine and spiral of their own accord, flowing along an optimal path.
In the span of a breath, an Earthfire Gold-Fusing Pattern formed naturally at the earth-vein node, perfectly suited to its surroundings. Its degree of completion surpassed even the best result Fang Chen had imagined!
"This!"
Fang Chen's mind shook. He stared in disbelief at the blurred silhouette in the Array Diagram beneath his feet.
After that single motion, the silhouette returned to sitting still, as though it had done nothing more than lend a casual hand.
But Fang Chen could clearly feel that, in that instant, his connection to the Innate Eight Trigrams Array Diagram and its spirit had deepened slightly.
An insight into the nature of formations, the harmonizing of energy, and the natural way of the Dao flowed into his heart like a clear spring.
