"Can you tell what kind of attack it was? Why do I see no signs of damage?" Chen Moxuan asked.
Dao Qian Zhen Ren shook his head, his brow furrowed. "Someone must have been here before, using some kind of secret technique, or perhaps they released something in an attempt to tear the seal from the outside. That seal is clearly not an ordinary one; those people had no effect on it."
A glimmer of insight flashed in Chen Moxuan's eyes. "You mean to say that their actions still consumed a considerable amount of the seal's power?"
Dao Qian Zhen Ren nodded. "Exactly. Although they did not succeed in breaking the seal, their actions undoubtedly weakened its power, ultimately allowing whatever was sealed inside to escape."
Hidden within Chen Moxuan's body, Yan Bing heard this and exclaimed angrily, "What escaped? I'm not just anything; I am a demon!" However, his voice could only be heard by Chen Moxuan.
Chen Moxuan pondered internally, realizing that Yan Bing had spoken some truth. He chose not to respond to Yan Bing but instead addressed Dao Qian Zhen Ren. "Can you tell me why you have such a hypothesis?"
Dao Qian Zhen Ren nodded and led Chen Moxuan to the entrance of the Four Directions Spirit Platform. He pointed to some nearly imperceptible traces on the ground.
Then, placing his right hand on the ground, he directly infused immense spiritual energy into it. This energy transformed into a simple formation inscribed at the entrance, spreading outward.
The spiritual energy in the air began to form ethereal figures, each taking on a humanoid shape. The area enveloped by the formation seemed to transform into a stage, with those ethereal figures acting as performers.
In an instant, the events from years ago replayed vividly before them. "What we Formation Masters see is actually quite different from what everyone else perceives; this is also how I realized there was something wrong here."
As he spoke, Chen Moxuan observed those ethereal figures sketching something on the ground. A wisp of black mist rapidly spread out before vanishing without a trace.
"This should be Evil Aura," he explained, "originating from the same source as that powerful demon from before. That's why I cannot recreate it; I do not understand it fully. If I could recreate it, the scene would surely be grand beyond imagination."
He continued, "Or perhaps this place originally held a seal that was equally terrifying and extraordinary—something I have never heard of or seen before."
Chen Moxuan nodded, carefully observing what those phantoms had drawn on the ground before activating it.
At that moment, Yan Bing suddenly spoke up, "If you can help me kill him, I will tell you a secret."
"Kill who?"
"A creature that has transformed from a human into a monster. Hmph, a filthy wretch."
Chen Moxuan narrowed his eyes and transmitted his voice, "You want to kill your savior?"
"What savior? He just wants to devour me. I’m not so naive as to misunderstand the thoughts of these lowly creatures."
"What do you mean? Do you know who saved you?" Chen Moxuan continued to press.
Yan Bing scoffed, "I don’t know who he is, but I know he must have turned from human into demonic trash! To be saved by such an existence is truly embarrassing! However, the moment I sensed this aura, I knew exactly what it was—a fool whose mind is corrupted and spirit disturbed, having been possessed by a Human Demon."
In an instant, the legend of the Human Demon flashed through Chen Moxuan's mind. Ever since the Demon Gate Festival began, tales of demons had spread widely. There were ten common legends about demons.
The Human Demon was known as the seducer. In simple terms, it referred to mortals whose bodies were controlled by Xin Mo.
Ordinary demons were one thing, but this guy actually thought he could save a true demon race. Clearly, something was amiss.
As soon as Dao Qian Zhen Ren's spell was broken, all those phantoms vanished.
Chen Moxuan continued to observe the ground. Although the traces were faint, their arrangement revealed an eerie beauty, as if they were remnants of some profound formation or secret technique.
Yan Bing remarked, "That must be a poor soul possessed by a Human Demon. Otherwise, an ordinary Human Demon wouldn't be able to create such a sophisticated formation; they simply lack the patience for it."
Chen Moxuan nodded slightly, as if in agreement.
At that moment, Tian Qiong Zi also approached and scanned the traces with his gaze. He then said, "These marks are indeed unusual; it seems the opponent's strength should not be underestimated."
Chen Moxuan stood up and took a deep breath. "We won't leave here until we fully understand the situation, so we must stay vigilant to prevent them from launching another attack. Tiger Brother, we need to strengthen the defenses of the Four Directions Spirit Platform."
"Help me set up a few warning spells nearby. Their ability to find this place and attempt to break the seal indicates they know a lot about the secrets of the Holy Land. I don't believe they will give up so easily."
Tian Qiong Zi nodded in agreement. "I will immediately work with Dao Qian to study this stone tablet and see if we can find any clues. However, when it comes to warnings, Dao Qian is the real expert in this area. Perhaps we should let him..."
Chen Moxuan thought for a moment. Although Tiger Brother was powerful, its strengths lay in spells and brute force. If it were truly that cautious, it wouldn't have been ambushed in the first place. After all, from Tiger Brother's description, the ambusher was far weaker than it.
Chen Moxuan nodded. "Then let's work together."
Tiger Brother didn't mind; it acknowledged its own shortcomings. After all, it had nearly been outsmarted by Yan Bing.
Soon after, Tian Qiong Zi began preparing nervously. He took out various protective talismans and arranged the altar and formations according to specific patterns.
Dao Qian Zhen Ren returned after finishing his tasks outside and continued to assist.
Standing at the center of the Four Directions Spirit Platform, Tian Qiong Zi's expression was serious as he slowly raised his hands, beginning to cast the Great Divine Ability recorded in the Heavenly Gang List—Tian Gang Star Calculation. This was a profound and powerful divination technique that predicted the future by observing the movements of celestial bodies.
Before he began, Chen Moxuan reminded him, "Senior Tian Qiong Zi, please be careful not to calculate past events; only focus on what lies ahead."
Though Tian Qiong Zi didn't fully understand his meaning, he nodded in acknowledgment. He knew that Chen Moxuan must have his reasons, and having practiced divination before, he understood that encountering certain uncountable matters could lead to unforeseen consequences.
As Tian Qiong Zi moved his hands gracefully, strands of starlight flew from his fingertips, wrapping around the Four Directions Spirit Platform like fine threads. The starlight gradually brightened, illuminating the entire spirit platform as if it were midday.
Chen Moxuan and Dao Qian Zhen Ren stepped aside, aware that performing the Tian Gang Star Calculation required immense focus and vast spiritual power; they could not afford any distractions.
