Li Hua observed as the other disciples retrieved their miniature pagodas from storage rings and pouches. Some of these tiny spiritual dwellings were clearly personalized—Mei Lin's was particularly ornate, adorned with delicate silver latticework and minuscule jade wind chimes. Each disciple channeled a thread of spiritual essence into their respective model, activating the spatial arrays etched along the miniature eaves and foundation stones.
The transformation was immediate and mesmerizing. The tiny structures expanded with controlled grace, growing from palm-sized replicas to full-sized elegant pavilions that stood at carefully measured distances from one another within the clearing. The process released a gentle hum of spiritual energy as innate arrays activated, shimmering walls solidifying from translucent to opaque, ornate roof tiles settling into place with soft musical chimes.
