Everyone fell silent when they saw what was on the altar. After a while, Renault quietly remarked, “I
can’t believe a small altar with no spiritual energy fluctuation like this would have such a frightening
seal.”
“It’s powerful, but it looks like it’s no longer effective,” Jared commented. As it turned out, there was a
two-meter-wide stone on the altar, its surface carved with complicated markings. At one glance, one
could tell it was a sealing arcane array.
Nevertheless, the individuals present were unaware of what a modest altar like this could possibly be
sealing, especially with the utilization of such a potent sealing arcane array.
Time had worn out the stone carved with the sealing arcane array, and the marks were barely visible.
They could only catch a glimpse of its original shape.
Had they not witnessed it firsthand, nobody would have believed that such a weathered altar could
house such a complex arcane array.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtMost importantly, there were no spiritual energy fluctuations from the sealing stone. It was just like any
ordinary stone, and that was why Jared’s group had not sensed anything when they were below.
A sealing arcane array devoid of any spiritual energy fluctuations was impotent, which was why Jared
remarked that the arcane array appeared to be ineffectual.
Regardless of the type, arcane arrays all needed to be powered by spiritual energy. Hence, some old
arcane arrays would weaken from the loss of spiritual energy and eventually be rendered useless.
That was why some sealing arcane arrays had to be re-imbued with spiritual energy years later -to
maintain their functionality.
Evidently, this sealing stone had been in existence for numerous years without any spiritual energy
replenishment, rendering it inoperative.
Nonetheless, Jared was genuinely intrigued to discover what on earth on this island warranted the use
of such an extensive and intricate sealing arcane array.
“I see some patterns on this stone that I can’t identify. Is this really a sealing arcane array? Is it as
remarkable as you claim?” Cloud knew little about arcane arrays, so he reached out, thinking of
touching it.
“Don’t!” Jared stopped him. “Before we figure out whether or not this arcane array is actually inactive,
don’t touch it.”
Jared’s words frightened Cloud, who quickly stopped moving. Meanwhile, Renault took out a wooden
doll from his pocket and placed his hands together to inject his spiritual energy into it. Soon, the
wooden doll began moving, getting more and more flexible with each passing second.
“Let this wooden doll test how safe the arcane array is first.”
As Renault spoke, he threw the wooden doll out. In the next second, the wooden doll grew larger until it
was about one meter tall before it started walking toward the sealing stone. “I never knew you learned
the Spiritwood Transforming Technique, Old Mr. Seizon.”
Jared had not anticipated that Renault, a leader of a sect that mainly dealt with business, would
possess knowledge of such a technique. While Jared had encountered this technique before, it was not
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmwidely known among cultivators.
“No, no, Mr. Chance. I bought this for a hefty sum. I wouldn’t know about these techniques. This
wooden doll already has an arcane array on it,” Renault clarified, sheepishly chuckling.
Hearing that, Jared realized that, like the communication device, Renault’s wooden doll already had an
arcane array carved into it by a mage, so all Renault needed to do was use it whenever he wanted.
Nevertheless, the wooden doll had to be extremely expensive. Jared just did not know how much more
expensive it was than the communication device.
If Renault was capable of buying this, that meant Stellaris Sect was earning big bucks. While Jared
was talking to Renault, the wooden doll Renault was controlling suddenly started shaking.
At that, Renault hastily tried to control it, but ultimately, the doll was dismantled into a pile of rotten
wood. Seeing that, he drew his brows together and wondered, “Is this sealing stone still active?”
He assumed that the wooden doll ended up being dismantled because the sealing stone still had power
in it.
