Chen Jichuan took out the copper mirror, pointed a finger, and rapidly chanted: "By the Heavenly Emperor's command, enact the True Art of Celestial Day. The nine heavens descend with multicolored auspicious clouds; golden light illuminates the realm, summoning all gods to the Dragon Assembly. Let the ritual stand by the divine utterance, barring all concealment and deceit. By the Heavenly Emperor and the seventy-three sacred words of the immortals and gods, complete the illumination and deliver the decree underground. I petition the Heavenly Emperor to descend his primordial spirit with urgent law and command."
The Circular Light manifested.
Instantly, a landscape of layered mountain ridges appeared, rolling peaks stretching endlessly. The area was sparsely inhabited, with only scattered tribes surviving amidst the untamed wilderness.
In the courtyard of Baozhi Forest.
