The third stage merging.
It is the most dangerous. Far more than the first two and more than even the fourth one, consolidation.
I am scared and hope that Lotus will help me with it. The instructions are clear on what it needs to do.
It is at this stage that my breakthrough formation plays a large part. The lotus is also famous for it as well. However, it uses a different approach than my breakthrough formation.
Twenty-eight seconds passed when the third stage began.
The merging of body and soul.
At that same moment, I felt the lotus acting just the way I instructed.
The approach my breakthrough formation uses is gentle. It sent waves into body and soul. So, they would merge smoothly.
While the lotus is like a humongous press, it will use its massive power to merge those.
This approach could only be possible here because of the power of the realm behind the lotus.
