The Stone Forest itself was a massive, naturally formed "Gathering Array."
It forcibly gathered the Spiritual Mechanism from the Secret Realm and even the more distant void, concentrating it here until it was so dense it almost wouldn't disperse. A single breath made one's Primordial Qi swell.
But where there is fortune, disaster lurks. A Grotto Heaven Blessed Land like this naturally gave rise to countless ferocious Demon Beasts, which hid in shadowy crevices, lying in wait to devour the unwary.
However, compared to these living creatures, the "Stone Statue Array" at the front of the Stone Forest, composed of countless towering stone statues, was the true threshold of death.
This Array guarded the only path leading deeper, to the Purifying Nightmare Spirit Crystal and the Clear and Muddy Spirit Source Ore Vein.
The statues were not made of gold or jade. Their texture was like stone or iron, and they stood silently amidst the rubble in various poses.
