On the floating stone platform, before the rift in the formation.
The three-inch rift lay embedded like a hideous wound in the core formation formed by nine black crystals. Remnants of the chaos energy unleashed while breaking the formation two days earlier still lingered along its edges.
Star power condensed into a fine needle at Han Li's fingertip. He gently touched it to the center of the rift, and pale blue Grand Void spiritual power seeped in like a stream. A faint golden glow immediately rose within the rift.
"Each person will nourish it for two hours per turn, rotating in this order: Star Palace, Spirit Control, Joyful Union, Ghost Spirit, Thousand Illusions, Demon Flame, Star Palace, Spirit Control." The Grand Elder planted his Starfall staff beside the rift, mending the cracks in its shaft with star power. "While nourishing it, you must concentrate on guiding your spiritual power. Do not mix in killing intent or distracting thoughts—the Ancient God Remnant Will is most sensitive to malice. Once it senses any, it will trigger a backlash of chaos energy."
Myriad Beasts True Cultivator folded his arms and snorted. "My Myriad Beasts spiritual power is supremely domineering. If this rift cannot withstand it, don't blame me." The Three-Eyed Demon Ape on his shoulder bared its teeth and growled softly, as though agreeing.
Su Ziyan covered her lips and chuckled, the Enchantment Threads flickering in and out of sight within her sleeves. "Rest assured, Myriad Beasts True Cultivator. Our Joyful Union Sect's Enchantment Thread Nourishing Art is exceedingly gentle, perfectly suited to smoothing out conflicts between spiritual powers."
Dream Illusion Scholar's blue robe stirred slightly, and an illusion rune flashed at his fingertip before vanishing. "Fellow Daoist Su, is your 'gentleness' perhaps an excuse to probe the attributes of our spiritual power?"
