The fact that Ye Tianze had slipped away in front of their eyes gave them a huge shock. They had thought that as long as he was in the Divine Rune Palace, he would be trapped.
Ye Tianze was like a turtle in a jar. However, when they saw those ancient and unfamiliar runes in the Treasure Storing Palace, they realized that the Divine Pattern Palace wasn't a jar, and Ye Tianze wasn't a turtle.
The Hall Master immediately ordered the elders to track down Ye Tianze. He summoned the Formation Spirit and carefully counted the losses. He almost vomited blood.
"That greedy little bastard!"
Ye Tianze had exchanged for almost all the basic and mid-tier resources. One had to know that these were all the resources that the Divine Rune Palace had accumulated over the past tens of thousands of years.
As the Hall Master, he was very clear about the importance of basic and mid-tier resources. These were the foundation of the Divine Rune Palace.
Without these resources, the Divine Rune Palace's system could very well collapse.
If Ye Tianze had taken high-tier resources, the Divine Rune Palace wouldn't have been so affected. After all, high-tier resources could only be used by the elders or even the elders.
Because of the high price, even the elders had to save up for hundreds or thousands of years before they could exchange for them.
But basic and mid-tier resources were different. Basic resources were the lifeline of the Divine Rune Palace's contribution points system.
Ye Tianze had taken away the basic resources, which meant that all the low level inscriptionists in the Divine Rune Palace couldn't exchange for the resources they wanted.
If they couldn't exchange for resources, they wouldn't be able to grow. If they couldn't grow, what was the point of staying in the Divine Rune Palace?
Even if they could be appeased in a short period of time, if they couldn't exchange for resources, who would be willing to risk their lives to accumulate contribution points?
If they didn't accumulate contribution points, the Divine Rune Palace's missions wouldn't be completed. If no one completed the missions, the entire system would naturally collapse.
Basic resources affected the Divine Rune Palace and most of the formation inscriptionists. As for mid-tier resources, they affected the entire Divine Rune Palace's mainstay.
If the elders and guests couldn't exchange for resources, it would be the Divine Rune Palace's greatest crisis. The low level cultivators could still be appeased.
After all, the Divine Rune Hall was one of the three major powers in the Bedlam Lands. As an Array Inscription Master, there was no better place than the Divine Rune Hall.
However, the elders and guests wouldn't care about that. They would most likely choose to leave the Divine Inscription Palace and go somewhere else.
If one elder left, they could suppress it. However, if all the elders were to betray them, they would not be able to suppress them. After all, they could not kill all of them!
"We have to find and retrieve these resources. Otherwise!"
The Hall Master's expression was ugly. He knew the horror of not being able to retrieve the resources. "That's strange. Does he have a Connate numinous treasure that can be used as storage? Otherwise, how could he have taken away such a huge amount of resources? Perhaps, the legend is true? "
The Palace Lord arrived at the main hall of the Divine Rune Palace. This was where the array formation that controlled the entire Divine Rune Palace was located.
"If we can't find the back door left behind by the founder, even if we get the resources back, they might be stolen by him at any time in the future!"
However, this time, he did not use the array formation to restrain Ye Tianze. Earlier in the Treasure Vault, Ye Tianze's actions had left him with a lingering fear.
What the Palace Lord needed to do now was to find all the back doors left behind by the founder. Even if he couldn't control them, he had to close these back doors so that Ye Tianze could not enter and leave easily.
"If it was before, with my attainments in array formation, it would be difficult to find the restrictions left behind by the founder. But now …"
The Palace Lord saw the hidden array formations in the Treasure Vault and understood some of the rules of how the array formations operated.
When he entered the core of the Divine Rune Palace's array formation, he quickly found some tricks.
The entire Divine Rune Palace was actually a huge array formation made up of countless array formations. This was left behind by the founder of the Heavenly Dao Realm.
Although the Palace Lord and Doyens of the Divine Rune Palace had repaired the array formations, they did not dare to touch the core parts.
This was also the reason why they could not find the back door. Or it could be said that their attainments in array formation were far inferior to the founder's.
Therefore, they could not find the location of the back door.
However, when Ye Tianze opened the back door, he had triggered the restriction within and exposed it to the Palace Lord.
To be able to become the Palace Lord of the Divine Rune Palace, the Palace Lord's attainments in array formation were naturally not bad. He was half a step away from becoming a Divine Rune Master.
When he entered the core, he directly passed through the countless basic array formations and arrived at the Treasure Vault.
"As expected!"
Following the area where Ye Tianze had opened the back door, the Palace Lord carved an array formation and immediately triggered the hidden ancient array formation.
What appeared in front of him was an ancient and unfamiliar world. It was also a world of array formations, but this world was different from any world he had seen before.
"So … this is the true core that controls the Divine Rune Palace. The past Palace Lords have never truly controlled the Divine Rune Palace!"
The magnificent array formation world in front of him shocked the Palace Lord, but at the same time, he was enlightened. After all, this was an array set up by a Heavenly Dao Rune Master.
To Ye Tianze, this was nothing because he had seen more advanced array formations. That was the means of the Nirvana Master.
However, to the Palace Lord, it was like discovering a new world. Under the enlightenment of these array formations, he seemed to understand why he had been unable to break through to the Divine Rune Realm.
"I see. A Saint Rune Master can use his Yuan Power to draw array formations. The biggest difference between a Divine Rune Master and a Saint Rune Master is the control of the rules. These array formations in front of me are the real rules!"
Turning array formations into rules was the true means of a Divine Rune Master. The Palace Lord suddenly had an epiphany, and his cultivation level instantly rose from the Half Divine Rune Realm to the Divine Rune Realm.
"I really have to thank this kid. If not for him, I might have been trapped on this level for thousands of years!"
A smile appeared on the Palace Lord's face. "In order to repay you, I will not kill you for the time being. However, you have to hand over everything on you!"
As he spoke, he raised his hand and tried to control the hidden array. However, his expression quickly changed. Even though he had become a Divine Rune Master, he was still unable to control the array formations in front of him.
They were like a high and mighty civilization that looked down on him. Although his power could penetrate it, he was unable to activate the array formations.
"How is this possible?"
The Palace Lord didn't dare to believe it. He carefully examined it and suddenly found the problem. "This is … the Ancestor left behind a restriction that requires a special treasure and method to open. It seems … the legend is true. The Blue Cloud Portrait is the true treasure of the Divine Inscription Palace. Then, the Blue Cloud Portrait must be in Bai Ye's hands!"
