After breaking through to the Vajra Realm, Xu Fan's Divine Sense subtly shifted, indicating impending breakthrough.
Previously, Xu Fan had felt the shackles on the Divine Consciousness Realm, but being limited by the Entering Dao Realm Peak, he couldn't break through. Now, after breaking through to Entering Vajra, his Divine Sense's shifting was expected.
However, Xu Fan was not eager to break through the Divine Sense yet. Instead, he activated his Divine Sense, covering a radius of a thousand ters, and followed the traces left by the foreign monk as he walked forward.
Training the Divine Sense is exceedingly dangerous. Even though Xu Fan possessed the Divine Sense cultivation technique passed down by the Zhao Family, he dared not rashly make a breakthrough.
Everything needed to naturally flow, to minimize risks.
After walking nearly a hundred kiloters, approaching the relic's depths before a forest, Xu Fan halted, a rare solemn expression appearing on his face, with an ominous guess rising in his mind.
However, Xu Fan couldn't be sure if this guess was indeed true; everything needed verifying.
Hoo!
Xu Fan took a long breath, closed off his five senses, hid his presence, slowed his pace, and stealthily ventured into the forest.
The forest was vast, dense with lush trees, obscuring what lay concealed within, though Xu Fan knew he had encountered at least five exotic beasts along the way!
It's widely known that exotic beasts exist deep within relics. The question is, how did the heavily injured foreign monk cross through the forest under the eyes of several exotic beasts?
Notably, these exotic beasts weren't like those Xu Fan had previously encountered, with glaring crimson eyes or clearly manipulated.
The forest beasts had clear eyes and appeared quite ordinary, yet their distinct features and the powerful aura they exuded betrayed their true identities.
Even the average Zhiwei Realm expert would struggle to sneak past five exotic beasts unnoticed.
Xu Fan, having broken through to Vajra Realm, enhanced his control over Spiritual Power, and with utmost caution suppressed his presence, finally evading the beasts' keen scent.
Exotic beasts are imnsely sensitive to the scent of blood; hence, the foreign monk's blatant passing must have an explanation!
Suppressing his doubts, Xu Fan continued deeper into the forest.
Xu Fan pursued at high speed and judged by the forest trails that the foreign monk had just passed by, so if Xu Fan was fortunate enough, he might catch up with the foreign monk, reeling in a big catch!
A tea cup's ti later, as Xu Fan approached mid-mountain, he finally spotted the foreign monk's silhouette.
The journey of nearly a hundred miles was trivial for a Vajra Realm expert. Although injured, the foreign monk showed no fatigue. However, judging by his slightly trembling back, he seed quite tense...
Next, a magical scene unfolded: the foreign monk took a deep breath, halted, and ford hand seals against the transparent air before him. A dazzling array of hand seals hit the air, causing ripples like on water.
"It's... a restriction!"
Watching the scene, Xu Fan's heart tightened, and the previous ominous sensation grew stronger.
At the foot of the mountain, Xu Fan could clearly feel the spiritual energy within was extrely dense, twice as dense as outside!
Mind you, this is within a relic! Spiritual energy is naturally rich, but twice as dense—what does that imply? A junior at an acquired level might just inhale to break through here!
This situation could only an two possibilities: either an extraordinary treasure existed within the mountain or it was due to artificial reasons. The mountain might have been set up with a formation for gathering spiritual energy!
Now, seeing the foreign monk's actions, Xu Fan's earlier guess was almost confird.
The issue is... even though Xu Fan knew little about restrictions, he could tell a massive formation like this would take a significant ti, not done in a day. Everyone had just entered the relic; how was a restriction possible?
There are two possible explanations.
One possibility: the opponent is extrely powerful, setting up such a terrifying restriction with a wave.
The second possibility is that the opponent had been preparing for ages, perhaps years or decades, secretly laying down restrictions for today!
Either possibility is incredibly frightening!
While Xu Fan pondered, the foreign monk broke through the restriction, and a Cave Mansion, like a phantom, undulated in the transparent air, gradually solidifying, appearing mystically.
And the foreign monk unhesitantly dove into the Cave Mansion.
Follow? Or continue to secretly watch?
If not for discovering the restriction, Xu Fan would certainly have charged in directly; having broken through to Vajra Realm, his power and confidence surged, fearing none even if the opponent was strong.
However, after discovering the restriction, Xu Fan had to change his plan. Not because he lacked confidence or courage, but the situation greatly exceeded his prior expectations, whether regarding the involved individuals or the impact caused.
Even a butterfly's wings could create a storm across miles! Mishandling this matter could cause upheaval for all cultivators within the relic or even the entire cultivation world!
To be cautious, Xu Fan quietly moved forward a bit and stopped, extending his Divine Sense toward the Cave Mansion.
Yet, at the Cave Mansion's entrance, his otherwise unstoppable Divine Sense was clearly blocked. Forcibly breaking through might succeed but would definitely alert the target!
"Learning about restrictions truly is fearso!"
Without hesitation, Xu Fan wisely chose not to recklessly approach again but retreated a few steps and closed his Divine Sense. Xu Fan habitually minimizes risks when facing the unknown.
Soon, a figure erged from the Cave Mansion, pausing as if calling or waiting for soone. Due to the distance and Xu Fan's closed Divine Sense, he could not discern the figure's face but vaguely felt the silhouette seed Huaxia-like...
Roar!
A terrifying beast roar suddenly echoed, causing the entire forest to tremble. Imdiately, a fierce wind swept through as a lion-like exotic beast spread its massive iron wings, soaring above Xu Fan's head.
