"This thing seems very similar to the place where the signal disappeared before. No wonder Heavenly Pivot put the probability so high."
The virtual avatar Li Chen had conjured looked up at the rune script magic array suspended in the void, deep in thought.
As his thoughts shifted, the outer frame, like a hollow lattice sphere, slowly compressed inward. Yet the black sphere inside abruptly swelled, seemingly squeezed out beyond it.
This was a spatial compression effect that transcended dimensions, like squeezing a balloon between two soft chambers shaped like a gourd. As one grew, the other shrank, and vice versa, depending closely on the force applied at either end.
This came from the Cosmic Dao content in The Second of Mysterious Arts and The Third of Dao Endeavors within the Complete Book of the Puppet Master Order. A section on the Void-Opening Art recorded its principles and the wealth of experience accumulated by predecessors.
It was through this knowledge that Li Chen mastered the basic configuration of the Cosmic Dao's void, opening a Minor Grotto-Heaven exclusively his own between the greater world and the Chaos Void!
At this point, the development efficiency of the Rune Script Dao revealed itself once again.
Once Li Chen finished writing the underlying Rune Formations, all their Dao Patterns and restrictions could be reused, making his progress astonishingly swift.
For this purpose, Li Chen had specifically built a grotto-heaven module dedicated to opening Minor Grotto-Heavens, creating a spatial class and numerous operational methods. Once the first Minor Grotto-Heaven officially took shape, he could produce them continuously, limited only by materials and energy.
This was an object-oriented approach. Referencing a spatial class was far more convenient than constructing the process from scratch.
It was not that no other Puppet Masters had thought along the same
