The many Celestial Cultivators in the outer region and the Ten Thousand Celestial Formation pretty much entered a battle of attrition.
The surrounding restrictions continued to collapse and they were all healed up right away.
This lasted for two hours before one could see the Celestial Cultivators starting to use the power of Mind Stones.
Within the Vast Habitat, there was no need to do so. Numerous spells struck from the outer region, causing chaotic Spiritual Energy flows which raged all about.
The Common People's Path Cultivators in the formation just needed to straighten out and calm down the formations and they were able to absorb the thick and violent Spiritual Energies into their bodies to be used as their own.
