Linghua Sect's destruction meant that the war at Celestial Star Sect was about to begin. At Huo Hai's command, the entire Spirit Formation was activated. A large-scale Spirit Formation like this could not be maintained merely by absorbing power from the outside world.
Huo Hai needed to add a great number of Spirit Crystals, and even quite a bit of Spirit Marrow, to sustain it. If the Spirit Formation had not been so complete, capable of directly communicating with the stars filling the heavens and the immense spiritual energy between heaven and earth, its consumption would have been even greater.
Even so, the formation's consumption was still more than Huo Hai could bear. All the Spirit Marrow on him combined could at most keep this formation running for a hundred years. Thus, the formation's activation now was not a true full activation, but one maintained at the lowest possible consumption. So long as Spirit Saint experts did not make a move, the Spirit Formation would not truly be activated in full.
That way, he could consume less Spirit Marrow and perhaps sustain it longer. It seemed that after this war, he would have to seek out more Spirit Marrow. Even if he did not use it for cultivation, he could at least keep it in reserve.
