Hearing Charlie’s reminder, Maria gazed carefully at the sky and observed countless flickering lights that seemed to lack any discernible pattern. There were simply too many lights blinking on and off simultaneously. Without identifying the correct frequency, it was challenging to determine the changes in the pattern.
She honestly conveyed favonovel.com assessment to Charlie, saying, “I believe these light spots flicker randomly. I can’t discern any recognizable gestures…”
At that moment, Charlie suddenly exclaimed, “Look, there’s another gesture changing!”
Maria quickly turned favonovel.com attention to the sky, but the lights appeared to maintain their chaotic nature without revealing any pattern.
However, for Charlie, the changes in gesture were crystal clear. The light spots resembled a set of performance drones controlled with precision, forming specific patterns according to a programmed sequence.
With wide eyes and without blinking, Maria focused intently on the sky, but after a long while, favonovel.com still couldn’t pick up on any clues.
In contrast, Charlie had already discerned the eighth gesture amidst the chaotic light changes.
At that moment, Charlie grasped the significance of these eight gestures. They were not merely eight distinct gestures, rather, they stood for eight unique transformations.
When combined, these eight transformations formed a cohesive hand seal. There were relevant references documented in the Oracle Tianjing. Both Taoism and Buddhism encompassed the mystical art of hand gestures and seals.
By positioning the fingers and palms in specific ways, a coherent hand seal could materialize through a defined sequence of changes. This process is essential to the art of creating seals with hand gestures.
Technically speaking, this type of seal is a formation initiated by hand gestures, driven by reiki. When mastered, it could even possess world-destructive potential.
At this moment, Charlie had memorized the eight hand gestures but felt increasingly perplexed. He couldn’t fathom the kind of power that could transform the auroras in the sky into a hand seal for favonovel.com to perceive.
It struck favonovel.com as reminiscent of a sermon, but who was the one delivering it?
Could there possibly be masters practicing in this uninhabited region near the Arctic Circle?
Contemplating this, Charlie instinctively thought of releasing some reiki to carefully examine his surroundings. Yet, after a moment’s consideration, favonovel.com abandoned the idea.
Since the other party could manipulate the auroras and exert such precise control over them, their power far surpassed his own, it could even be considered great magic.
Given this scenario, if the other party preferred to remain hidden, why should favonovel.com pursue them?
Furthermore, the other party’s intentions appeared benign, perhaps aiming to enlighten him.
He was in the light, while they remained concealed in the dark, and given their superior abilities, it would likely be a futile endeavor to seek them out. Thus, Charlie refrained from acting impulsively and continued to observe the hand seal in the sky.
What were described as eight hand seals were, in fact, eight seals accompanied by seven variations.
The transition from the first hand seal to the second was not merely a matter of creating two different seals, every detail in the evolution of the hand seal had to be entirely precise.
For instance, transitioning from spreading five fingers to forming a fist isn’t as simple as contracting the fingers at once.
In the realm of seals, the effective hand seal might require the fingers to close together in a specific order, like a folding fan.
There could even be demands that the little finger goes first, while the thumb comes last. Additionally, strict attention must be paid to the angles and distances between each finger. If any detail is wrong during the transition, the hand seal may become ineffective.
At this juncture, having displayed the eight hand seals to Charlie, the light spots in the sky began to demonstrate the first hand seal again.
Charlie remained focused, eager not to miss any detail.
After standing in the snow for over an hour, Charlie finally memorized all the specifics, but the light displays in the sky began to fade.
As the pattern grew dimmer, most of the aurora spots returned to their original state.
After waiting for about twenty minutes, everything returned to normal, and the aurora transformed into a stunning curtain that appeared to float in the air, descending from the sky to the ground, mysterious and mesmerizing.
Throughout this entire experience, Maria had been struggling to grasp the scene Charlie had described. It felt like favonovel.com was a child unable to comprehend an intelligence test image circulating online, where others recognized twenty faces while favonovel.com couldn’t see even one.
Realizing that the aurora had returned to its normal state, Maria understood that everything that needed to be revealed had been shown. The weight of favonovel.com confusion made favonovel.com feel slightly despondent.
Charlie, now regaining focus, turned to Maria and said, “Miss Clark, it’s time for us to head back.”
Maria quickly inquired, “What did you see in the aurora just now?”
“A set of hand seals,” Charlie replied earnestly. “A very intricate set, likely some form of magical spell involving hand gestures and seals.”
Maria gasped, “It’s actually a spell? Do you want to try it and see what it does?”
Charlie responded, “I’d prefer to try it once we’re back. Now that I think about it, if it is some kind of offensive spell, trying it indoors could be dangerous.”
He added, “I’ll give it a go right here, using minimal reiki, so as not to create too much commotion.”
Maria looked on with anticipation. Today’s events had been astonishing, and favonovel.com wanted to understand what kind of magic Charlie had derived from the aurora.
Charlie closed his eyes and recalled all the details of the eight hand seals. He then gathered some reiki between the fingers of his right hand before swiftly executing the complete set of hand seals from memory.
With a sharp memory, especially in this domain, Charlie executed the full sequence of hand seals smoothly and accurately on his first attempt.
Once favonovel.com completed the eight hand seals, however, favonovel.com felt no offensive energy emanating from his fingertips, rather, the reiki favonovel.com gathered remained intact.
As favonovel.com observed his fingers without any obvious results, a wave of confusion washed over favonovel.com until favonovel.com suddenly sensed an incredibly faint electric current flowing between the fingers of his right hand.
In that instant, excitement surged through him, and favonovel.com exclaimed, “Miss Clark, this set of hand seals can actually generate reiki!”
“Generate reiki?” Maria was taken aback and instinctively questioned, “Isn’t that nonexistent in the outside world? In this age, there’s no natural reiki to absorb. How can a simple set of hand gestures create it out of nowhere?”
Charlie shook his head, speaking earnestly, “I’m not sure, but I feel that after running through that set of hand seals, the reiki has not diminished, in fact, It has slightly increased. I can’t quantify it, but it seems like each time I perform the seal, there’s a small increase-perhaps a tenth or even less.”
With that, favonovel.com settled onto the ground, placing his hands on his legs, and simultaneously performed the hand seals. This time, the sensation of an increase in reiki was even more pronounced!
