"Hum."
Mana, wrapped in the laws of Time and Space, seeped beneath the pool of Three Lights Divine Water. The bluestone tiles at the bottom rippled like water, and beneath the once-flat stone platform, a small pool appeared, enclosed like a bubble and no more than a few feet across.
The water was clear, but it was not the gold, silver, and violet Three Lights Divine Water. Instead, it was Innate Spiritual Liquid, formed from liquefied Innate Spiritual Qi that had seeped out of Penglai Island's spirit veins.
