"If it’s not man-made? Naturally formed characters? Haha, then we might have hit the jackpot. You know, such characters must contain some kind of Law’s power, though it seems your kid’s strength isn’t qualified to touch the Law’s power yet. This time, it’s to the old man’s advantage!"

Ye Luo glanced at Ao Long but casually took the stele away. What does he mean by saying he couldn’t comprehend the Law’s power?

Speaking of which, Ao Long has known Ye Luo for quite some time, yet he still doesn’t understand that Ye Luo could never be judged by common sense. Ye Luo’s abilities, his comprehension, and even his uniqueness cannot be described in ordinary terms!

The three did not speak further. This stele seemed to have gained nothing, but it at least gave them hope. Moreover, the characters on the stele, just because Ye Luo and the others don’t understand them now, doesn’t mean they wouldn’t discover their peculiarity in the future!

The trio continued their journey and, before long, discovered nothing else but surprisingly found another jade tablet!

Exactly, this time it’s not a stele, yet the characters on it are the same!

When Ye Luo compared the first stele with the jade tablet this time, he discovered that some characters were the same, indicating that this should be from the same origin!

Without hesitation, Ye Luo naturally took the jade tablet away.

To be honest, previously, it was probably not that no one discovered them but rather that no one had paid attention. These characters were quite bizarre; if you didn’t pay attention the first time you discovered them, you’d likely forget them later. This is why, after so long, these steles have been preserved.

However, they unexpectedly encountered Ye Luo.

In recent times, Ye Luo concentrated on studying Talisman Characters and was inherently interested in runes, so seeing the characters on the steles, he gave them some thought. He carefully observed them and discovered their peculiarities, which is why these characters remained hidden for ages but were now completely taken away by Ye Luo!

On their journey ahead, although Ye Luo and the trio found no other discoveries, they did find quite a few steles, jade tablets, and even a metal tablet!

No matter the material, as long as those characters were present, Ye Luo would take them all away.

For Ye Luo, these characters have successfully piqued his interest!

This Secret Realm isn’t small, so Ye Luo spent quite some time, yet still lingered on the fringe of the realm.

There was nothing—not a single treasure chest, house, or anything else—that had not already been ransacked. Still, Ye Luo and the trio remained undeterred and continued moving forward.

Though they hadn’t discovered anything, they also didn’t encounter any danger, thus they naturally pressed on without hesitation.

Over five hours into Da Yue’s entry into the Secret Realm, Ye Luo and his companions arrived at a cliffside!

This cliff seemed rather unique because between it and the opposite cliff were blocks of floating stones hovering in the air.

As if signaling those who arrived here, by crossing those floating stones, one could reach the other side!

Yet Ye Luo stopped in his tracks, sensing something might be wrong with this place!

At first glance, the cliffside appeared normal, and so did the floating stones, but Ye Luo felt something was off!

This was an intuition, hard to explain why.

"You noticed it too?"

Suddenly, while Ye Luo was pondering, Ao Long’s voice rang out.

"Did Senior also notice?"

Ye Luo asked in return.

Ao Long nodded, with some confusion, and said, "I don’t know why, but I always feel that those floating stones look like a path leading to the other side of the cliff, but it doesn’t quite seem that way. Yet, I can’t pinpoint why."

Ye Luo nodded; he felt the same way.

"Why not, let’s give it a try?"

Feng Ling’s voice came, though her suggestion was a bit risky, it seemed to be the best choice under the current circumstances.

But Ye Luo didn’t agree, because he thought Feng Ling intended to try crossing the stones herself, and if there was a crisis with the stones, wouldn’t that be a disaster?

"No way, this is not a joke. What if it’s dangerous?"

Ye Luo spoke up to stop her, but Feng Ling just smiled.

"Who said I was going?"

With a wave, a Puppet appeared. Clearly, Feng Ling planned to use a Puppet to test the stones!

Though the Puppet couldn’t fully detect danger, it still had some utility, so naturally, Ye Luo didn’t oppose the idea.

As Feng Ling waved her hand, the Puppet charged toward the first floating stone!

However, at the moment the Puppet landed on the stone, a bolt of lightning suddenly descended from the sky!

Boom!

A loud explosion sounded; although the Puppet wasn’t immediately destroyed, it was in a bad state!

Furthermore, another lightning bolt was already gathering in the sky!

However, at this moment, the Puppet leaped onto another floating stone, and this time, the challenge was not a lightning bolt but Sword Qi. Innumerable Sword Qi appeared abruptly, instantly obliterating the Puppet!

"Damn, there’s indeed a problem!"

Ye Luo’s expression changed slightly. Although he could withstand the attacks, these floating stones connecting the two cliff sides were more than a thousand! Passing through wouldn’t be so straightforward, especially since each stone seemed to have a different attack effect, making it extremely challenging to defend against!

...

"I understand now, this is the断天锁!"

Suddenly, Feng Ling spoke up loudly.

Ye Luo and Ao Long simultaneously turned to look at Feng Ling.

After all, Feng Ling is from the Demon Clan’s Sacred Temple, so her understanding of the Demon Clan must surpass that of Ye Luo and Ao Long!

"The断天锁? What’s that?"

Ye Luo asked puzzledly.

Feng Ling gazed at the floating stones, seemingly reminiscing about something, and after a moment, said, "It’s said that in the Demon Clan, there once appeared a super strong practitioner, a super Wu Chi. This person challenged countless powerful beings, and as long as he encountered a famous figure, regardless of their tribe or strength, he wouldn’t let them go, and his断天锁 was particularly formidable!

No one knew where this person came from, nor did anyone know his intent. Sometimes, even when an opponent was much weaker, he’d challenge them, sealing his Strength to challenge!

At other times, he’d challenge stronger adversaries, getting almost beaten to death but miraculously surviving each time!"

Feng Ling explained in one breath, but how is this related to the current situation?

Also, the断天锁—the name clearly says it’s a weapon, but what’s the connection to these floating stones in front of us?
