Huang Xiao brought one of the Identity Tokens close to his own. Once the two touched, he willed it, and another Formation Mark appeared on his Identity Token.
This additional Formation Mark could not be seen with the eyes; it had to be sensed.
Huang Xiao could sense two of them, distinctly and unmistakably.
Next, Huang Xiao transferred all the remaining Formation Marks to his Identity Token. Including his own, that gave him twenty-one Formation Marks.
Throughout the transfer, Huang Xiao carefully observed the changes in the Formation Marks, hoping to glean some clues. Unfortunately, it all happened too quickly and was far too profound. Even after using up all twenty tokens, Huang Xiao still had no idea.
Who knows what realm Formation Masters would have to reach to lay down such mysterious Formation Marks? Huang Xiao reflected inwardly.
There was no doubt that he and the others could remain safe within this Grand Formation because of these Identity Tokens.
Without an Identity Token, a person can only live for three breaths. Would taking someone else's Identity Token keep them safe? Another question arose in Huang Xiao's mind.
Although he could not fathom these Formation Marks, he could still tell that the key lay in the Formation Marks protecting them.
Huang Xiao did not believe that each person's Identity Token could only be used by its owner. Having an Identity Token-or rather, just a Formation Mark-should allow anyone to remain here, regardless of whose it was.
Of course, Huang Xiao had already transferred all twenty Formation Marks he had seized, and transferring them back seemed impossible.
Besides, even if he still had another Identity Token with a Formation Mark on it, Huang Xiao would not dare cast aside his own and use another to test whether his idea was correct.
