Once Ace felt the ritual start, he placed his hands on the ground, palms flat against the cold stone, and began channeling his Heavenly Spirit Qi with anticipation.
Because he knew if he wanted to create a space within his cultivation foundation, the only way was to use the Heavenly Spirit Qi. Since it was a ritual-type spell, the outcome depended on the catalyst used in the ritual, and he really hoped it would work with his Heavenly Spirit Qi.
However, if it failed, Ace also had another plan of using his Holy Twilight Avatar! After all, his avatar also had a cultivation foundation of the soul path, so if this ritual does not work with his heavenly foundation, it will work with his avatar.
As Ace poured the Heavenly Spirit Qi into the ritual array, the entire array suddenly lit up, releasing a powerful oppression aura. Ace was already aware of this, so he had created a Dismantle Spirit Qi barrier beforehand.
