Clues in the Great Hall
After listening to Qu Ling's words, Yi Xuan became increasingly curious about this High Antiquity Artifact Sect.
The state of the High Antiquity Artifact Sect is evident from the Artifact Ruins. Yet, this powerful High Antiquity Sect failed to survive, leaving only a relic.
Although there were countless Law Artifacts in the ruins, Yi Xuan discovered that there was no trace of the High Antiquity Artifact Sect's disciples living there from beginning to end.
Yi Xuan absolutely refused to believe that it had been erased by time. After all, in his previous life, even the traces of human activity from 1.7 million years ago had not been erased.
The High Antiquity Artifact Sect couldn't possibly exist more than a million years ago, so Yi Xuan had been puzzled by its disappearance ever since he entered the High Antiquity Artifact Sect Artifact Ruins, feeling that there must be another reason for the High Antiquity Artifact Sect demise.
At this moment, the other sect disciples were all searching for their own fortuitous opportunity on the top of the Stone Mountain, Yi Xuan could only stand there with envy, unable to do anything about it.
After all, there were many people and eyes on the mountaintop at this time, so the method that Yi Xuan used on the outskirts of the Artifact Ruins was not applicable now.
Although he understood in his heart, Yi Xuan was still heartbroken, feeling as if he had lost a hundred million.
While everyone else was busy, Yi Xuan, in order to alleviate his embarrassment, had no choice but to enter the Artifact Sect Great Hall alone.
Yan Siruo, who was not far from Qu Ling, glanced at Yi Xuan's back and said with some reluctance, "Junior Brother Qu, how about we each give one of the fortuitous opportunity we find to Protector Yi?"
Hearing Yan Siruo's words, Qu Ling turned around and said, "Senior Sister Yan, do you think Protector Yi needs your pity? You should know that the number of Law Artifact provided by disciples from various sects to express their gratitude to him is more than a thousand, not to mention the magical Law Artifact we obtained by helping Protector Yi before! Protector Yi may have obtained more Law Artifact this time than all of us combined!"
"What?" Yan Siruo said in disbelief, "So it's true that Protector Yi said he had a way to refine a large number of magical Law Artifact in a short time?"
"Most likely! However, there must be some restrictions, otherwise why wouldn't Protector Yi accept any more Law Artifact after arriving at the top of this Stone Mountain? I suspect that Protector Yi's refining method has some requirement regarding the grade of the Law Artifact. After arriving at the mountaintop, the grade of Law Artifact is completely incomparable to that outside the Artifact Ruins, Protector Yi's method is useless!"
Yi Xuan had already taken control of the Pangu and entered the Artifact Sect Great Hall, so he was unaware of Qu Ling's deduction. Otherwise, he would have exclaimed, "You truly are my hidden dragon and phoenix! I hadn't even figured out how to explain this matter, and you actually explained it clearly for me, and it even sounds so reasonable!"
Upon entering the main hall Pangu looked around at the situation inside.
The Artifact Sect Great Hall looked eerily empty.
Is anyone there?
Is anyone there?... Is anyone there?... Is anyone there?
Yi Xuan uttered a casual remark, yet it echoed throughout the hall, demonstrating just how spacious the hall truly was.
"Activate the perception system, maxing out all perception capabilities! Scan the main hall!"
Upon receiving Yi Xuan's order, the Pangu's eyes flashed blue, then emitted alternating red and blue light as it continuously scanned the main hall. At the same time, all the laser radars and millimeter-wave radars on the Pangu's body were activated at full power.
The holographic projection in front of Yi Xuan quickly displayed Yi Xuan Pangu's perception status.
Whether viewed in infrared, visual, or radar images, the main hall appears completely empty.
"This..."
Now Yixuan was completely disillusioned. He had initially been skeptical when Qu Ling told him that the main hall was empty.
After all, for thousands of years, the exploration of the Artifact Ruins has been undertaken by cultivators. Although their methods are endless, they are ultimately still based on the capabilities of the Immortal Body. Perhaps Yi Xuan's technological means will reveal something different.
Unfortunately, things didn't go as planned. Despite technological advancements, the condition of the main hall remained exactly as Yi Xuan.
"Sigh!" Yi Xuan sighed deeply, leaning back in his chair and muttering to himself, "Neither technological methods nor cultivation techniques have yielded any discoveries. It seems this High Antiquity Artifact Sect really isn't anything special!"
"Boss!"
Just as Yi Xuan had given up and was preparing to let the Pangu move freely, the Butler's voice suddenly appeared.
"What's wrong? Have you made any discoveries on the other nine Pangu?"
It turned out that after Yi Xuan let Qu Ling and the others enter the Stone Mountain, he did not leave the Pangu idle, but instead had them continue to clean up the magical Law Artifact around the Artifact Ruins under the Butler's command.
"No, boss! Everything's fine on the Pangu!"
"What is that?"
"The boss just ordered the Pangu to scan the main hall at full speed. The ornithopters circling around the hall also received the same order. Since there were no specific instructions, the ornithopters carried out the boss's command as well! As a result, they discovered some special features about this main hall!"
"What is it?" Yi Xuan asked lazily.
As the developer of both devices, Yi Xuan is well aware of the difference between the sensing systems on the Pangu and the ornithopter drone. If the sensing system on the Pangu is described as high-definition 4K, then the sensing system on the ornithopter drone is like an old-fashioned 12-inch black and white TV.
The difference is so vast that calling it worlds apart is an understatement; what can one expect it to discover?
The Butler ignored Yi Xuan's tone and attitude and faithfully sent the information about the ornithopter's discovery to the holographic projection.
Yi Xuan glanced at it indifferently, but then his eyes were fixed on it.
The images shown by the Butler were not the same types that Yi Xuan had seen before, but rather images generated by the unique Spiritual Qi detection mode of the ornithopter.
In the projection, the main hall of the Artifact Sect seemed to have disappeared, blending into the surrounding scenery. This made the nearby cultivators appear particularly dazzling, shining brightly on the projection.
"So that's how it is! No wonder neither technology nor cultivation methods could discover the special features of this hall!"
Yi Xuan's thinking was ultimately correct. At this moment, it can be determined through the Spiritual Qi detection image that the best Law Artifact in this Artifact Ruins should be the Artifact Ruins's main hall!
As for why cultivators haven't discovered the clues for thousands of years, it's because of the concentration of Spiritual Qi.
Yi Xuan discovered through the Spiritual Qi detection device on the ornithopter that the concentration of Spiritual Qi energy inside the main hall was the same as the surrounding environment. What does this mean? The concentration of Spiritual Qi in the world is like a gift from heaven. Whether it is a cultivator, Law Artifact, or an array, its concentration is more or less than that of the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi.
However, the concentration of Spiritual Qi inside the main hall of the Artifact Sect was the same as that of the surrounding environment, meaning it had truly achieved complete invisibility at the Spiritual Qi.
This situation naturally failed to attract the attention of cultivators, because in their perception, the hall was no different from the surrounding environment. But this precisely demonstrated the hall's special nature.
