After exchanging the weapon hearts and infinite number of times, they were ready for what had to come next.
When the Spear Heart appeared before Kai Syaoran, he was ready for what had to be done and so was the Thunder Emperor.
Kai Syaoran released all his understanding of the Spear Dao in to the spear at the same time and right after that, he manifested a small spear of flowing light that was his self-created understanding of the spear Dao.
For the blooming to be successful one had to feed the spear heart with their self-created understanding of the spear Dao.
This understanding had to be an original creation that did not already exist in the Spear Dao. If it already existed, one would fail the blooming and death would be their reward. This was the reason as to why the blooming was considered one of the most dangerous stages in weapon Dao cultivation.
