However, as the Phantom Spirit Fox and the others were busy absorbing the surrounding energy, they failed to notice that the space around them had begun to shift. The changes were so subtle that one would have to be paying close attention to notice them at all.
When Jieli had first deactivated the seal, it had sensed a ripple in the space, though it initially dismissed the feeling as a hallucination. Yet, in a place like this, one could not afford to be careless, even if it were just an illusion. As the Phantom Spirit Fox continued to absorb energy, Jieli kept a vigilant watch. Soon, it discovered that the seals in the vicinity were slowly coalescing into a single, concentrated force.
Jieli halted all its actions and began to focus on capturing that faint thread of energy. The energy acted like a tether, guiding the changes in the surroundings, as if something hidden here had yet to be discovered. That pull carried an imposing momentum; if one sensed it closely, one could detect the aura of danger hidden within.
