He also reopened every array he had shut down earlier when he stepped forward to withstand the Heavenly Tribulation.
Once he was certain no one could break into the array again anytime soon,
he flickered to the Altar at the center of the formation, sat cross-legged, and slowly closed his eyes.
He began consolidating his newly attained Great Vehicle Realm and absorbing the replenished Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy on the island to restore what was nearly exhausted within him.
