There was more than one Celestial Stars Diagram. In fact, every Martial Grandmaster could draw a corresponding visualization diagram.
After entering the Law Realm, any martial artist could unite spirit, intent, and qi. When channeled through the tip of a brush, that union could form a diagram imbued with intent, encompassing the corresponding laws and the principles hidden within them. This was where the name "Law Realm" came from.
The same visualization diagram drawn by different Martial Grandmasters would differ slightly in spiritual intent, bearing each artist's personal characteristics. The sword resonance within Ding Songyan's white jade token, for instance, had no power to injure, but contained Tao Wenshu's unique spiritual intent, allowing it to serve as proof of identity.
Of course, these slight differences in spiritual intent did not affect the actual aperture refinement. The way true qi circulated and condensed within the corresponding apertures was fixed. What different spiritual intents chiefly affected was the speed of refinement and the amount of resources consumed.

That was precisely why the Xiaoming Sect had placed its visualization chambers underground.
Ding Songyan unrolled the visualization diagram in his hands and saw a dazzling expanse of stars.
When drawing it, Tao Wenshu had used soot ink
