As Xu Ming carefully poured the ashes into the groove, a peculiar formation appeared around it, spreading outward like a spiderweb.
Strange, incomprehensible runes began to flicker on the formation, their light alternating between bright and dim. Moments later, the runes shattered like glass, crumbling into frost-like shards.
Meanwhile, the ashes in the groove began to solidify into delicate, snowflake-like shapes.
A gust of wind swept through.
