Li Yuanba couldnât have anticipated that the place he entered earlier was actually this small building.
He wasnât too surprised; it was just that when he entered the hall, he didnât sense the presence of a spatial formation.
Reflecting on it now, the ancient sect probably used not an ordinary spatial formation, but refined the entire hall into something akin to a magical treasure.
This kind of technique is still in use today; the Treasure Pavilion and Book Collection Pavilion that Li Shiming took from the Yimu Cave Heaven of the Fuliu Sect are of this type.
However, the technique of this hall is not the same as those two architectural magical treasures; perhaps some refining methods from long ago have been lost.
Li Yuanba pondered for a moment and then attempted to re-enter the hall using the âDivine Foot Skillâ; the space movement once again brought him into the hall.
As he entered the hall, he felt the Spiritual Energy within and looked at the lotus growing in the shallow spirit water; he sensed that the hall lacked Spiritual Energy.
He took out a vein-locking plate, which sealed within it a Great Cultivator Spirit Vein.
He cast a spell, and the vein-locking plate released Spiritual Energy outward.
A great amount of Spiritual Energy surged into the hall, and he immediately noticed that the walls of the entire hall were faintly glowing. If he used âDivine Sightâ to magnify, he would see that the light was actually from the Spiritual Power Pattern absorbing Spiritual Energy.
The hall seemed to come alive, with Spiritual Energy flowing through the hallâs Formationâs Spiritual Power Patterns, restoring the hallâs original functions.
Li Yuanba saw that the water pool where the lotus resided was slowly increasing in water volume.
Why was the spirit water in that pool so shallow? It was because over a long period, the lotus had been slowly consuming it.
Fortunately, the consumption of spirit water by the lotus is minimal, and after absorbing the spirit water, the lotus can transmit some energy to the hall, keeping the ancient Array Rune functioning with minimal energy to remain until now.
Li Yuanba further discovered that the originally incomplete ancient spatial Array Rune was in the process of being restored.
He thought of an important matter: if the ancient spatial Array Rune was repaired, how would he enter the hall?
He also thought about how Master Shi Dong had no space movement ability. Since Master Shi Dong could enter here, he must be able to enter without relying on space movement ability.
There must be something he hadnât noticed; previously, his attention was entirely on the four walls of the hall and the lotus in the pool.
He checked several more times again but still found nothing.
He was somewhat reluctant to believe that Master Shi Dongâs array abilities were superior to his, even though the Array Runes used in the hall were extremely ancient and different from modern Array Runes. He still couldnât accept being inferior to Master Shi Dong.
At this moment, he suddenly realized that the ancient, incomplete spatial Array Rune in the hall had been repaired.
He tried it; he could no longer use âDivine Foot Skillâ to leave the hall.
If he couldnât find a way to exit the hall, he would have to destroy it.
Such a scenario worried Li Yuanba; if the hall was destroyed, the environment for the lotusâs growth would also be ruined, and the lotus would wither and die.
He regretted his reckless actions, trapping himself inside the hall.
At this point, he thought of Master Shi Dongâs soul crystal ring, seeking any clues it might hold.
He sent his Divine Sense into the soul crystal ring and immediately discovered the âJiguang Xunying Boat.â
Earlier, from a distance, he could only sense that the âJiguang Xunying Boatâ was of fourth-grade top-level quality.
Now, with his Divine Sense scanning it, he realized he was mistaken; this medium-sized Flying Boat was of even higher quality.
On the âJiguang Xunying Boat,â he found a Speed Rule Imprint, not like his Spirit Treasure Xingyi Sword, which automatically generates during the Artifact Tribulation with a gift from the heavens.
The Speed Rule Imprint he observed was inscribed onto the âJiguang Xunying Boatâ by some technique of a cultivator.
If evaluated by the Cultivation Worldâs standards of magical treasure quality, the âJiguang Xunying Boatâ should be between a fourth-grade top-level Artifact Tribulation Treasure and a Spirit Treasure.
No wonder the âJiguang Xunying Boatâ could achieve such terrifying speeds, surpassing even Li Yuanbaâs âDivine Foot Skillâ.
Of course, if Li Yuanbaâs cultivation were a bit stronger, enabling him to freely use âOn the Spot,â the speed of the âJiguang Xunying Boatâ would fall short.
Additionally, the original Li Shimingâs seamless âDivine Foot Skillâ was even faster than the âJiguang Xunying Boatâsâ speed.
However, the âJiguang Xunying Boatâ is capable of continuous travel, excelling in long-distance journeys, while even if Li Yuanbaâs cultivation allowed him to freely use âOn the Spotâ, it wouldnât be feasible for continuous long-distance travel.
Li Yuanba was thrilled; the âJiguang Xunying Boatâ was undoubtedly the highest-level flying vessel he had ever encountered.
When he wanted to imprint the Master Recognition Technique onto the âJiguang Xunying Boatâ, he suddenly realized it had an owner.
This meant that Master Shi Dong wasnât the owner of the âJiguang Xunying Boatâ, and its owner was someone else.
His expression slightly hardened; from his understanding of great cultivators from major powers, a medium-sized Flying Boat of such a grade as the âJiguang Xunying Boatâ shouldnât belong to a great cultivator.
Perhaps the recognition imprint inside âJiguang Xunying Boatâ belonged to some great figure from the White Emperor Sect, and the thought made his scalp tingle.
