Dazhuang then stretched out a small hand, pressed it against the boulder, and intoned coldly, "In my name, I grant you life. I am your master. Obey my commands."
At the same time, yellow light shone from his palm, spreading like ripples until it enveloped the entire boulder.
"Thump, thump..." Li Yichen thought he heard a heartbeat coming from the boulder.
"Thump, thump, thump..." The heartbeat grew faster and faster.
Then Dazhuang shouted, "Awaken, my servant!"

"All done..." Dazhuang withdrew
