Lin Mu layered formation upon formation, each serving a specific purpose.
One to stabilize spatial fluctuations.
One to regulate elemental overflow.
One to isolate the inner courtyard entirely from the outside world.
And finally, a silent formation that would redirect excess Water Dao into the surrounding ocean if it exceeded a certain threshold, preventing pressure buildup. And this was on top of multiple barrier arrays.

He began with the Calming Heart Sutra.
For one full hour, he did nothing else.
