At that moment, the interior of the Nine-Luminaries Glazed Vidyaraja Pagoda was churning like an overturned sea.
-Several hours earlier, Qing Chen had retreated not entirely because of Five Gu's self-detonation. He had sensed an exceedingly familiar power.
The Budong Dark Gold Baleful-Subduing Essence-Augmenting Light of the Immovable Wisdom King Heart Method.
It was the body-refining cultivation technique he himself practiced. After more than two hundred years of honing it day and night, every inch of his sinews, bones, skin, flesh, internal organs, and Immortality True Blood was steeped in its aura. How could he fail to recognize it?
If anyone here knew this cultivation technique, there was only one possibility: Second Senior Brother.
He was the disciple Master Budong had taken in on the Azure Wave Archipelago in the Gouwu Sea all those years ago, who had later been hunted down until all word of him vanished.
Now, it seemed this man was Wei Yixiao, the Six-Winged Heavenly Bat of the Ten Thousand Saints Demon Kingdom. He had probably refrained from acknowledging Master Budong because he did not want to bring trouble upon him.
Master previously had only nine levels of the cultivation technique. It seems this Second Senior Brother had another fortuitous opportunity and obtained the subsequent levels.
Moreover, that power was wrapped in a layer of an exceedingly sophisticated technique-a sealing and suppressing power similar to that of the Vajra Mound magic treasure.
That power was dense and substantial, like copper walls and iron ramparts, protecting what lay inside so tightly that even someone with a considerably stronger divine soul could not hope to glimpse a thing.
Presumably, this was also why Wei Yixiao had been able to leave something behind without Golden Toad Granny or the High Priest discovering it.
It was probably his fortuitous opportunity.
