Zhang Xuan had been too preoccupied with formations to think of anything else, so he didn't think too much about it. However, with the Eye of Insight, he immediately noticed that something was amiss.
There was nothing wrong with the boxes, but when they were put together, it felt as if he had entered the Seer Guild.
The Seer Guild allowed one to extend one's Spiritual Perception, Soul Perception, and all sorts of other means, but no one was allowed to use the Seer Secret Art!
This was similar to the signal jammers in his previous life. His phone was completely unaffected except for the lack of signal.
The Upper Nine Paths, Middle Nine Paths, and Lower Nine Paths — the 'nine' in each of them represented the pinnacle of the world. As such, there were definitely more than thirty occupations that could be considered as such.
Even if he hadn't studied the other occupations before, he would still be able to glean some knowledge from the many books he had read over the past year. However … he knew nothing about seers at all!
Previously, he had gone to the Seer Guild to study, but who could have known that a lightning tribulation would strike him as soon as he flipped through the books …
With the Library of Heaven's Path in his head, it represented the heavens. As thieves, seers were incompatible with one another, so it was impossible for them to learn the Library of Heaven's Path.
It was precisely because of this that he had given up on learning the Library of Heaven's Path.
Even though he hadn't studied the Library of Heaven's Path before, he could still sense the presence of the Seer Guild clearly.
"I thought that it was the Seer Guild who helped the Otherworldly Demonic Tribe arrive on the Master Teacher Continent, but that doesn't seem to be the case!"
He had been suspecting that the Seer Guild had betrayed mankind after the theft of Vicious' skeleton. Otherwise, how could Mingshi Tang have failed to notice the arrival of an Otherworldly Demon Ancient Sage? However, from the looks of it now, that didn't seem to be the case.
Most likely, the Seer Guild had used an artifact capable of isolating the heavens to prevent the seers from noticing it.
"Seers aren't of much use in a battle against the Otherworldly Demonic Tribe. Most likely, they used this artifact to assassinate the Xingmeng Sword Saints!"
Upon realizing what was in the box, a thought flashed across Zhang Xuan's mind, and he came to a realization.
In a battle, one had to rely on one's strength, vigor, courage, as well as one's ability to devise strategies. Even though seers were able to divine fortune and misfortune, they were not of much use in a battle of this caliber. As such, there were no seers in the Zhang Clan's side.
Naturally, it wasn't directed at them. Instead, it was directed at the Xingmeng Sword Saints.
All of them had reached Great Sage 3-dan Intuitive Impulse realm, and at this level, they were able to grasp any danger that might come their way. If the heavens were to be shielded from them, it would mean that their strength would vanish, and it would be easy for a sneak attack to succeed.
"Heh, it's fine if you don't know, but since you do, then I won't hold back …"
The corners of Zhang Xuan's mouth curled up into a smile.
Other seers would have to attack in order to destroy the artifacts of seers, but that was not the case for him!
As long as he used the Library of Heaven's Path, the lightning tribulation would appear...
"Don't be in such a hurry. Previously, I promised Little Tribulation that I would offer him some pointers. Since I've summoned him over, I should at least offer him some pointers so that he can grow stronger. It would be best if he could wipe out all of these Otherworldly Demons …"
Thinking of lightning, Zhang Xuan had a thought.
It wasn't easy to summon a lightning tribulation in the Subterranean Gallery, but with these artifacts that could shield him from the heavens, he would surely be able to summon it with the Library of Heaven's Path!
Just that … he had come into contact with the lightning tribulation of seers several times, and the might of the lightning tribulation had been mediocre. It was only targeted at artifacts and humans, and it didn't strike indiscriminately. How could he summon a stronger lightning tribulation to strike down all of the Otherworldly Demons?
Of course, the Otherworldly Demons weren't like those from the Glacier Plain Court and the Sanctum of Sages. If he were to summon a lightning tribulation, it was likely that the Otherworldly Demonic Tribe would attack him together before he could even finish gathering his lightning tribulation.
It was impossible for a lightning tribulation to triumph over an army. Otherwise, they could just send a random fellow who was on the verge of achieving a breakthrough and summon a lightning tribulation to wipe out the entire army.
Besides, upon reaching the Aureate Body realm, ordinary lightning was no longer of much use. Only the heavenly flame could deal substantial damage to them.
The fact that there was someone among the Otherworldly Demons who was able to fight on par with the Xingmeng Sword Saints and even injure them meant that they had reached the Intuitive Impulse realm at the very least. Even the heavenly flame would not be of much use against them.
"I have to consider everything carefully before I can summon a lightning tribulation. Otherwise, I might end up alerting them …"
After a moment of contemplation, Zhang Xuan suppressed the urge to use the Library of Heaven's Path.
"Halt!"
With such thoughts in mind, Zhang Xuan followed closely behind the Otherworldly Demons. After walking for several thousand meters, General Aureate suddenly waved his hand.
The Otherworldly Demons immediately halted their footsteps. Zhang Xuan dared not show any signs of discomfort.
"Leave it here. You can return now!"
"Yes!"
The Otherworldly Demons nodded before putting down the hut and leaving.
Following closely behind the Otherworldly Demons, Zhang Xuan discreetly returned to the Otherworldly Demons. Using a spatial seal, he hid himself by the side.
As soon as he was done hiding, a towering Otherworldly Demon suddenly walked over.
The aura that the Otherworldly Demon emanated was far more powerful than the Otherworldly Demons before him. The killing intent that he emanated was as dense as ink, and it felt as if a single glance at him would overwhelm one's mind, rendering one incapable of fighting.
"An Otherworldly Demon Emperor!"
Zhang Xuan narrowed his eyes in astonishment.
The killing intent that the Otherworldly Demon Emperor emanated far exceeded that of the Qingtian Emperor. He had only felt such killing intent from Vicious and the Ancient Sage corpse. Of course, it was still slightly lacking compared to them, but it was still extremely fearsome.
Even if the Otherworldly Demon Emperor wasn't a member of the Otherworldly Demon Emperor, he was definitely not far from it.
"Paying respects to the Commander!"
General Auer hurriedly clasped his fist and bowed respectfully.
"Un!" the Commander replied. "You can leave now. Don't let anyone disturb me!"
"Yes!" General Auer nodded before leaving the area.
Seeing that there was no one around, the Commander stepped forward and grabbed the boxes in the area. They immediately burst open, revealing the contents within.
Each of the boxes contained a stone pedestal of similar height, and there was a mirror placed on top of it.
These mirrors were facing in different directions, and the rays of light they emitted were connected together to form a tortoiseshell in the air.
Zhang Xuan discreetly took a closer look. With the appearance of the mirrors, the isolation ability of the heavens seemed to have grown even stronger. If not for his eyes, he would not have been able to tell that there were so many items in the area.
"There's still one more box …"
At the very center of all the mirrors was a box that had yet to be opened.
The Commander walked over and scanned the surroundings for a moment before walking up to the box at the very center and placing his hand on it.
Kacha!
The box burst open, and a crimson saber materialized before him. It floated quietly in the air, and on the hilt of the saber was an average-sized skull. It had a sinister look to it, and it carried a sinister air to it.
"What a formidable saber … Even if it isn't as powerful as the Dragonbone Divine Spear, it shouldn't be too far from it …"
Zhang Xuan narrowed his eyes in astonishment.
The killing intent emanating from the saber was far stronger than the sword that Nangong Yuanfeng had given to the Luo Clan!
"It's a Half-Ancient Sage artifact!"
The Dragonbone Divine Spear exclaimed.
