A vast mist appeared at the end of the passage.
This mist was extraordinarily peculiar, dreamlike and illusory, like wisps upon wisps of smoke.
Something within it seemed to be slowly turning.
Li Qing immediately began probing it, sending a Shadow Paper Doll into the mist.

<Mysterious Grand Formation within the Great Kun Dynasty Imperial Mausoleum Grotto-Heaven>... Old Version 2 (restored based on information) Nine Dragon Spirit-Locking Formation (Unwarped Formation) Refining Materials: Fresh blood of the nine sons of the True Dragon, roots of mountains and rivers, spirit of the forest, Yi Wood, Ice Dragon silkworm silk. Refining Method: 1. Use the fresh blood of the nine sons of the True Dragon, the roots of mountains and rivers, and the spirit of the forest as ink. 2. Carve Yi Wood into nine dragon flagpoles, then weave the flag surfaces from Ice Dragon silkworm silk. 3. Inscribe the True Dragon Spirit-Locking Curse upon the nine flags. Formation Effect: Once successfully refined, it can form a grotto-heaven of its own, sealing all souls and spirit essences within the formation. It absorbs the essence of the sun and moon's rebirth, nurturing them day by day, until after one hundred thousand years, they become Ghost Immortals. Formation Cost: This is a heaven-defying formation. Whoever lays it out will surely be struck dead by heaven's thunder.
