"What happened?" Lan Ran hurriedly asked. Sun Hanxi could only say aggrievedly, "I really didn't know. Who would've thought there'd be such a huge formation beside the mine..."

As long as one found the pattern on each level, selected an item near the runic core, and then used the chance to choose a large area of the mine to deliberately increase the power output, the runic password formation would be destroyed as a side effect. The runic passwords on all the items throughout that level would probably be ruined as well.
And once the items no longer had their runic passwords, they could of course be picked up freely. Since the runic passwords and the framework of the grand formation were two different things and weren't connected in series, destroying them wouldn't activate the tower's main framework.
