Shen Luo did not linger in the Spirit Beast Garden. He quickly left for the final area: the Artifact Refining Hall.
With the map to guide him, the Celestial Pivot Maze might as well not have existed, and he soon reached his destination.
Like the Heavenly Craft Hall and the Spirit Beast Garden before it, the Artifact Refining Hall occupied a spacious area and consisted of four or five large stone chambers. Unfortunately, it too was empty. Someone had clearly beaten him to it.
Unlike the Spirit Beast Garden, however, the traces of looting here were fresh. It seemed to have happened not long ago.
"Fellow Daoist Fire, can you make anything of this?" Shen Luo asked Fire Spirit Child through voice transmission.
He had already used a spell to examine the lingering aura here, but whoever had come seemed to have deliberately concealed their presence, wiping away every trace. He could discover nothing.
Fire Spirit Child said little after hearing this. He flew out of the Free-and-Easy Mirror, summoned the Guxuan Star Disk, and activated one of its magic formations. A milky-white pillar of light shot straight upward and struck the ceiling of the Artifact Refining Hall.
White spirit patterns streamed from the pillar of light, spreading rapidly across the stone ceiling...
Fire Spirit Child did not stop casting. Forming another hand seal, he activated a silver magic formation on the Guxuan Star Disk, and countless rays of silver light spread outward.
His hands formed seals at lightning speed. The light from the two formations, silver and white, actually merged, and countless silvery-white spirit glyphs resembling tiny tadpoles emerged, swimming swiftly into their surroundings as though alive.
A flicker of admiration crossed Shen Luo's eyes at the sight.
Taoxiang had also activated several formations within the Guxuan Star Disk
