It took a day to finally notice a change. He found the storm fading as the dark metal faded to white.
The change in material was not just in color, he could tell the metal had become stronger in some way he did not fully grasp. It frustrated him but he could only accept what he could grasp.
A new ring greeted him but there were no hatches, instead he was dazzled by the rainbow.
Rays of light danced in intricate patterns all around him. He even accidently got in the way of a few but felt no danger. Instead, he felt more energized than ever before! His crystal happily shimmered and he wondered if he could breakthrough here!
[It would be unwise to cultivate here, Master. Those are another formation.] He was stunned as it was not an inscription or array but an active formation of light!
