Fine gold dust floated within the morning mist of Long Manor.
Hu Yuan stood beneath the old locust tree, embedding the Primordial Fragment Stele into the eye of the Spirit Gathering Formation at the roots. The moment the stele made contact with the formation eye, the entire locust tree trembled with a deep hum. The locust blossoms on the branches fell like flying snow, condensing into countless golden points of light in the air. These points of light spread along the ley lines of Long Manor, quickly gathering in the center of the courtyard into a pillar of light that shot straight into the clouds.
"This is the Túshān Clan's Zhaotian Formation." Hu Shouzhen's voice carried an irrepressible excitement, the jade bead at the head of his bamboo staff reflecting the pillar of light. "A thousand years ago, whenever the Túshān Clan faced a major crisis, they would use the Zhaotian Formation to declare the truth to heaven and earth. Today, by activating it with the fragment stele, you are telling everyone in the Spirit Realm that the Túshān Clan has returned, and that the rumors of the 'Destiny-Defier' must be shattered."
