Of this,
Qin Shujian had no doubt.
These mysterious premonitions had never been wrong.
Besides, the reactions of the various Sects during this time
were enough to confirm it.
In the courtyard,
Qin Shujian took out the crystal containing the sealed grandmaster-level formation. Rather than immediately unsealing it with his Divine Sense, he first checked his attributes.
The life source field was constantly ticking upward.
His original five million life source had now reached over eight million, and almost every few minutes, it rose by tens of thousands more.

but that was because he had never fully displayed its power.
Applied to forging, Runes could
