Simply put, the usual way of setting up an Original Treasure Formation required the power of six Masters as the Original Treasure Killing Intent, allowing it to be completed directly. This time, however, the Original Treasure Killing Intent was being drawn inward from the perimeter, where it would ultimately be combined with Master-level power to complete the formation in one fell swoop.
