Yu Ci increasingly had the feeling that he was flying a kite right now. The kite was undoubtedly the hundred-mu Chengqitian he had manifested.
To let a kite fly, it required two things: first, wind; second, a string.
First of all, there had to be blowing wind. All the way up, the Jade Empyrean Spirit Awakening Art had been triggered no less than a hundred times. The entire Chengqitian was brimming with the essence energies of the sun, moon, and stars. Furthermore, under the combined effects of the laws of heaven and earth and the laws of the void, they were refined into vital energy that could be utilized by Chengqitian to sustain its growth and balance, while also serving as backup power for activating talisman techniques.
