On the way back, Dongguan suddenly remembered that he could examine the Sea Light Tear's secret patterns.
His Spirit Eye flickered, and the Sea Light Tear's secret patterns gradually appeared.
But the patterns were complex and concealed, too indistinct to see clearly.
"Maybe I'm too weak," Dongguan sighed.

There were two possible reasons for indistinct secret patterns. One was that their level was too high, beyond his understanding, and they blurred as a form of self-protection.
The other possibility was that the secret patterns contained in the object were themselves only faint traces.
For example, Dongguan had once observed the Golden Horned Beast and had also tried removing scales from its body to examine. The result was that secret patterns of the same level were far clearer and more complete on the whole Golden Horned Beast than on its scales.
Thus, when studying secret patterns, it was naturally better to find clear ones.
