"Come, come, little stones, gather around Stone Ancestor."
With a slight turn of his thoughts, Chen Yang drew the eight strange stones before him.
He swept his consciousness over the eight strange stones one last time, then summoned Zhen Xuan and pressed them against the surface of his stone body, activating that long-unused power of devouring.
