Qing Xuanzi kept reciting Great Dao scriptures, trying to calm himself down.
Gradually, Qing Xuanzi calmed down. As for wanting that-whatever and needing that-whatever first, he had never even considered it.
What a joke. Who the hell knew whether he would have any chance of survival after sacrificing himself?
The first thing Qing Xuanzi considered was what the hell the formation core actually was. How could it come up with something so bizarre?
Anyone with half a brain would never choose to sacrifice themselves.
He did not believe in any miracle happening if one sacrificed oneself before the Great Dao Purple Lotus.
It was certain that the formation core possessed intelligence, but its IQ seemed to be offline.
There were two possibilities: first, it was a Chaos Treasure that had been severely damaged, with its intelligence impaired.
Second, it was a Great Dao spiritual treasure whose intelligence could not grow. This was a common flaw among treasures at the Great Dao spiritual treasure level and above.
That was because such treasures were heavily suppressed by the Great Dao and could not develop greater intelligence.
