With the infusion of magical power, the sand patterns on the stele gradually began to exude a faint golden light, which became brighter and brighter.
Seeing this, Liu Ming's heartbeat quickened with a thud, but he grit his teeth and continued to pour his magic into the stele relentlessly.
About the time it takes to drink a cup of tea later, when he had nearly infused about one-third of his entire magical power, the entire hourglass transformed into a blazing sun of golden color within his sea of Divine Sense, radiating dazzling golden light!
Suddenly, with a "weng" sound in his ears, Liu Ming's vision darkened for a moment, and he found himself once again in that grey, murky space.
Upon opening his eyes and seeing this, Liu Ming felt both shock and joy. He hadn't even decided on his next course of action when a flicker of golden light between his eyebrows and a "boom" in front of him caused the huge stele to erect itself before him once again.
