Running along the stone steps, Qin Fengming's wariness had risen to its utmost limit.
Qin Fengming could now be certain that this Sky-Reaching Pillar was indeed an ancient treasure from the Immortal Realm. That strange aura, capable of imprisoning magic power and soul energy while invading one's consciousness, could only be manifested by the power of the Immortal Realm's unique written characters and runes.
Of course, Qin Fengming did not believe that all the Immortal Realm's written characters and runes possessed such strange abilities.
He had seen quite a few items passed down from the Immortal Realm. They bore Immortal Realm characters and runes, yet most of them did not contain this strange aura.
However, among the scrolls recording several Immortal Realm divine abilities and secret arts he had seen, some did possess other auras. Although they could not imprison magic power or the soul, they could likewise send one's vital spirit and consciousness into a stupor.
This strange aura should be unique to certain special runes and written characters of the Immortal Realm. Alternatively, it might be carried by some special inscription method used during their carving.
The Immortal Realm's runes and written characters, after being improved by ancient great powers, had already lost this function.
Qin Fengming naturally had no intention of pondering the Immortal Realm's runes and written characters at this moment. He only needed to reach the place that could make the wordless Heavenly Tome react and let it absorb that strange energy.
