At this moment!
Xue Qingwei's mind was in a mess like never before. She stood there in a daze as her face was filled with disbelief and shock, as though she had turned into a frozen stone statue.
This was because she would never have thought that Xiao Fan's words were completely true. Everything he said was true.
And this fact caused her heart to be filled with raging waves as it rolled violently like a tsunami, as though the earth was collapsing and the sky was splitting, unable to calm down for a long time.
"This human race Xiao Fan …!"
After Holy Presbyter had lost his composure initially, he quickly calmed down and opened his mouth as he muttered to himself. His pair of turbid eyes instantly shot out two rays of terrifying light.
As one of the most senior fellows in Yunkong College and having been in charge of this place for many years, Holy Presbyter naturally knew better than anyone how strong the Black Temple's defensive array was and how impossible it was to steal the secret manual regarding the loopholes in the western city wall!
But now, a human named Xiao Fan actually knew about the loopholes in Sky Cloud City's western city wall. This matter was really strange to the extreme and was simply unacceptable.
"Could it be that the refiner of Sky Cloud City's western city wall had secretly left behind some text?" Holy Presbyter's mind raced and instantly thought of many ideas as he muttered to himself.
But!
"But that's not right. Because the refiner of Sky Cloud City's western city wall was a disciple from Yunkong College!" Holy Presbyter frowned again as his face was filled with puzzlement as he muttered to himself, "And when this disciple reached his old age, he finally became the strongest Armament Master in Dark Region. At the same time, he was also an Array Master and his attainments in Array Dao was only slightly weaker than his armament refining skills!"
"Then, he took action and spent an entire ten years to help Yunkong College successfully refine Sky Cloud City's western city wall!"
"After that, this disciple's lifespan came to an end, and he didn't have any children, so he stayed in Yunkong College until he passed away!"
"Even if he did leave some secret books behind, it's impossible for him to bring them out of Yunkong College. Not to mention, he was extremely grateful to Yunkong College for what it had done for him. There's no reason for him to betray Yunkong College!"
"And even if he had really changed, or if he really had an ulterior motive, then using some unknown method, he left behind the text of the loopholes in Sky Cloud City's western city walls. Then why had Sky Cloud City remained safe and sound for the past tens of thousands of years?"
"If they really wanted to make a move, they would have done it a long time ago. Why did they delay it for tens of thousands of years?"
"Furthermore, if there really was such a secret manual, why would he reveal it? Hiding in the dark and suddenly giving Sky Cloud City a fatal blow, isn't that the best choice? "
"Now, this human Xiao Fan actually said it out loud. Isn't he beating the grass to scare the snake and making Yunkong College take precautions?"
"Why, what's the reason behind this?"
Even though Holy Presbyter had lived for thousands of years and was used to seeing everything in the world, he was still puzzled at this moment. His face was filled with astonishment as he totally didn't understand the reason behind this and he couldn't help but be in a daze.
Suddenly!
"Right, there's still the verification in terms of arrays!" Holy Presbyter seemed to have thought of something as he was jolted awake. He then speedily took the remaining books and started flipping through them anxiously.
Xue Qingwei who was standing by the side was similarly jolted awake. She then took the remaining book and started flipping through it quickly with Holy Presbyter.
Moments later!
Their figures froze once again as the book in their hands fell heavily onto the ground, giving off a dull thud.
Once again, it was all right!
Between the 9.82 million city bricks and 9.8 million city bricks, between the 16.72 million city bricks and the 1673 city bricks, as well as on the 298.87 million city bricks, there were a total of 483 blank spots!
The Nine-Layered Array's flowing array!
Treating the symptoms but not the root cause. The power of the Nine-Layered Array was at least one level weaker than it should have been!
What Xiao Fan said was all the same in the book. There wasn't a single mistake!
In the Black Temple, there was dead silence!
Xue Qingwei and Holy Presbyter both stood there motionless. Their faces were frozen with deep shock as they couldn't believe what was happening in front of them.
And they didn't know how much time had passed!
"Human, Xiao Fan!" Holy Presbyter finally came to his senses. He then opened his mouth and said word by word. His voice was full of seriousness.
"Holy Presbyter, why, why is it like this?" Xue Qingwei also opened her mouth, but her voice was incomparably hoarse as if she had used a lot of strength to speak.
"There's two possibilities!" Holy Presbyter opened his mouth and his voice suddenly became extremely gloomy, "Firstly, that senior from Yunkong College who refined Sky Cloud City's western city walls had ulterior motives. He had left behind a secret book on the loopholes in Sky Cloud City's western city walls and from there, it was obtained by Xiao Fan and now we know about it!"
"But the possibility of this possibility is really too small. No matter which aspect it is from, it's hard to make sense. There's a serious contradiction in logic but now we don't have any evidence so this possibility is still considered as a possibility!"
"Then what about the other possibility?" Xue Qingwei had actually guessed what the other possibility was but she subconsciously resisted it as she muttered to herself.
"That is, this Xiao Fan is a master in both armament refining and arrays. Moreover, his armament refining and array refining standards have already reached an unimaginable level. He's known as the Master among the Masters!" Holy Presbyter said absentmindedly, "In this way, it would explain why he was able to see through all the loopholes in Sky Cloud City's western city walls. As for the first possibility which doesn't make sense, there would be a reasonable explanation!"
"The human race's Xiao Fan's armament refining and array refining standards have already reached an unimaginable level. He's known as the Master among the Masters?" Xue Qingwei's face was filled with shock and disbelief. She stood there absent-mindedly.
"That's right!" Holy Presbyter remained silent for a moment before confirming once again.
"Then, how strong is he exactly?" Xue Qingwei subconsciously opened her mouth as she continued to ask.
"It's possible that in the entire East Spirit Lower State, or even the entire seventy two lower states, there aren't many Armament Refining and Array Masters who can surpass him!" Holy Presbyter hesitated for a moment but still spat out a mouthful of turbid air before opening his mouth to say, "There's even a possibility that he's the number one Armament Refining and Array Master in the entire East Spirit Lower State, or even the entire seventy two lower states. No one can surpass him!"
"The number one Armament Refining and Array Master in the entire East Spirit Lower State, or even the entire seventy two lower states. No one can surpass him?" Xue Qingwei was completely stunned as her face was filled with shock. She was completely immersed in shock, unable to extricate herself.
"I've also pondered over Armament Refining and Array Masters before and I know very well that if one wants to see through the flaws of other Armament Refining and Array Masters' creations, the disparity between both parties' Armament Refining and Array Mastery standards must be huge to be able to achieve this step!" Holy Presbyter shook his head and sighed softly before continuing, "As for our Yunkong College's Armament Refining and Array Mastery standards, it has already reached the pinnacle of East Spirit Lower State. Till now, there aren't many people who can stand shoulder to shoulder with him. Throughout history, the number of people who can surpass him can be counted with one's fingers!"
"But even if one of the Masters in history managed to surpass him, there's a limit to his standard. It's impossible to see through all the flaws in his creations with just one look!"
"But now, this Xiao Fan actually managed to see through all the flaws in Sky Cloud City's western city wall. This detail is enough to explain everything!"
"And perhaps, the conclusion that I've guessed might not be one hundred percent the truth, but there's at least a fifty percent possibility that it's the truth!"
Hearing Holy Presbyter's words, Xue Qingwei finally couldn't say a single word. She stood there in a daze, totally unable to feel anything, as though she had already lost her soul and consciousness, leaving behind only a shell.
"Let's go!"
Raising his hand, he patted Xue Qingwei's shoulder gently as Holy Presbyter spoke. After that, he sent all the books back into the depths of the Black Hall and started walking towards the outside.
Xue Qingwei was like a dazed wooden puppet as she followed behind Holy Presbyter and also walked towards the outside, leaving this place.
Back to the Heavenly Palace!
Xue Qingwei finally regained her senses. Her expression was extremely complicated as the raging waves in her heart had not stopped. It was still raging and roaring violently.
"According to the academy's rules, if nothing major happens in Yunkong College, I can only leave the Treasure Trove once every three days. So two days later, come here and bring me to meet that human, Xiao Fan. I want to ask him personally!" Holy Presbyter had already calmed down completely by now. After that, he looked at Xue Qingwei and nodded as he spoke.
"Yes, Holy Presbyter!" Xue Qingwei bowed slightly towards Holy Presbyter and replied.
"By the way, this cultivation technique is my personal cultivation technique. It's not in the Treasure Trove, so it won't violate the academy's rules even if I give it to you. Cultivate diligently and strive to achieve a dazzling result in the first battle of the Dark Domain!" Holy Presbyter spoke again as he handed a cultivation technique to Xue Qingwei and said with a smile.
"Many thanks, Holy Presbyter!" Xue Qingwei's face was filled with gratitude as she spoke to Holy Presbyter.
"Go!" Holy Presbyter waved his hand and said. Then, he sat back down at the highest point of the Heavenly Palace. His entire body was silent and motionless.
Xue Qingwei bowed towards Holy Presbyter once again before gently retreating and leaving the Treasure Trove.
"Human, Xiao Fan. Who exactly are you?" After Xue Qingwei left, Holy Presbyter once again muttered to himself. His voice carried a trace of doubt as it reverberated throughout the incomparably silent Heavenly Palace.
