Chapter 360: Open and Secret Struggles

Cutting the raw stone was a technical task.

The stone was hard and the distribution of jade inside was uneven, necessitating precision in cutting; it couldn't simply be chopped carelessly nor could the stone be cut too obsessively, resulting in a ragged surface.

In the Tongxuan Realm, Magic Power Perception allowed them to faintly glimpse the inside of the raw stone, though it was very blurry. They had to judge while cutting; this required the cutter to possess strong segmentation abilities, making precise, clean cuts, and leaving a surface as smooth as a mirror.

This was a kind of pleasure, the joy found in competition.

There were also elements of discord, such as the Cultivators of the Red Falcon Conquest Team placing their own stones just a few yards away from theirs, evidently aiming to compete under everyone's notice.
