After the Dragon Snake Coiling Sky Diagram, Three Disciplines Four Divisions Diagram, and Yin Yang Intersection Diagram were inscribed, he had failed his first attempt when he tried to break into the last spirit pattern pillar. He then temporarily put down the task and began reinscribing the eleven spirit diagrams from before.
He had truly used all he had to learn the diagrams and inscribed them countless times, carving them deep into his mind so he could recall them whenever necessary.
This process had taken him more than two months.
Only then did he focus on the last spirit diagram and attempt to break through it once more.
“This is already the last spirit pattern pillar, but why is it that I can never enter inside. It should be unlocked already…” Feeling unsure, he once again copied the ancient glyphs with his soul consciousness and attacked the interior of the pillar.
“Bang!”
As if slamming into a thick membrane, his soul consciousness was bounced back. His head had also hurt suddenly.
“Not working, it’s still not working! It seems like there’s a seal inside, and it feels a little similar to the enchantment inside the Soul Suppressing Orb.” He opened his eyes and stared at the final spirit pattern pillar. “Even if I can unlock it, I still have to break through the barrier. This requires a certain level of soul energy. Perhaps the spirit diagram inside the spirit pattern pillar here is a little special, and only a strong soul can fathom it. That’s why there is this additional obstacle…”
He could only console himself this way.
For the past three days he had been continuously attacking it, attempting to enter into the world in the final spirit pattern pillar, but failed continuously.
No matter how much soul consciousness he accumulated or if he was in tip top condition, he was unable to breach the world inside the pillar with his soul to see the final spirit diagram.
He finally understood that it was because his realm wasn’t high enough and his soul wasn’t strong enough.
And so, he had no choice but to give up.
He stood up and walked to Ying Xingran and Jiang Hao’s side. Under their astonished gazes he said, “I’m done here.”
“You’re done?” Jiang Hao looked dumbfounded. “But you haven’t inscribed the spirit diagram inside the final spirit pattern pillar and passed it to me to be checked yet?”
Surprisingly, Yin Xingran didn’t mind it. “Eleven spirit diagrams. Originally, we had only mastered six of them, but thanks to you, we now have five more spirit diagrams to use. The last diagram really is hard… so it’s fine to give up temporarily. Maybe you’ll find your fortune in the future and be able to learn it then.”
Jiang Hao also smiled and said, “I have been too greedy.”
“It’s not that I can’t learn it, but that I can’t enter it. My realm isn’t high enough.” Qin Lie frowned and explained solemnly, “The last spirit pattern pillar has an enchantment inside, and I need sufficient soul energy to be able to break through it. My cultivation of the martial way is only at the Natal Opening Realm after all.”
The moment he said this, Ying Xingran and Jiang Hao understood what he meant and grew even more relaxed.
“No worries, as long as you’re willing to stay at Armament Sect, you have nothing to worry about your Realm at all. Spirit medicine, precious treasures, and all kinds of spirit arts will be open to you! Moreover, you are already able to comprehend a concept by yourself and can cause a world changing phenomenon with it. Your talent in the martial way is just as outstanding as your talent in artifact forging, so why would you need to worry about ascending your realm?”
Qin Lie nodded, “Alright.”
Ying Xingran finally relaxed as a smile bloomed on his face as he said, “Follow me. I will lead you to the back of the mountain to Blood Spear’s cultivation area. Lang Xie is also coincidentally around today, he wants to teach you personally.”
“Lang Xie?” Qin Lie looked slightly dumbfounded.
“Heh heh, you know him. Once you see him, you’ll understand,” Jiang Hao also smiled.
Therefore, the plaza that had been locked down for almost seven months had finally been reopened. The twelve spirit pattern pillars had also returned to their original state.
Armament Sect’s outer and inner sect disciples who bore thoughts about the spirit pattern pillars could finally enter this place. They could also take the opportunity to learn the wonders of the spirit pattern pillars, seeing if the magics on the spirit pattern pillar would be easier to decipher after the huge change Qin Lie had wrought.
Even Lian Rou, Pang Shishi, Pan Xuan, and the rest of the inner sect disciples had hurried over after hearing that it had been opened.
They also wanted catch some of Qin Lie’s glory and learn something from the spirit pattern pillar so they could increase their own recognition of the spirit diagrams.
Yi Yuan was also mixed amidst the crowd, looking inside at the surf
