In the secret chamber,
Zhong Shenxiu allowed his spiritual energy to emanate, enveloping the ritual materials.
A mysterious barrier emerged as he lit the candle and drew a hexagram on the ground.
In each corner of the hexagram, there were strange runes carved.
"I offer the sacrifice of gold, seeking passage through history past..."
"I bind with the chains of silver, making a pact with what once was..."
"I vow with the medal of bronze, that I shall present an offering!"
His inspiration spread, scattering golden powder that caused the candle flames to surge, casting a burst of shimmering light.
Then, using silver chains and a bronze medal, he began the sacrifice.
And the offering?
Naturally, it was the ancient documents most cherished by the keepers of secrets, the more historically significant the better.
"Exchange the shadow of history with the offering of equivalent knowledge!"
Finally, Zhong Shenxiu chanted aloud.
