Lu Tianzi and Nanlan Qianxue remained on Crimson Mountain for a while longer, focusing on consolidating their newly attained cultivation levels.
During this time, Lu Tianzi once again ascertained that he was still far too weak to break through the ancient runes sealing Xihuang Yuanfeng in the rock chamber. A new attempt to probe the ancient runes brought about a powerful mental backlash just like the one before, and Lu Tianzi was still incapable of resisting it at all.
It knocked him back a few steps, and caused his face to pale. Thankfully, he could easily recover with just a few hours of meditation.
Apparently, he would have to at least reach the peak of the Origin Core realm before he would even stand a chance at breaking the seal, according to Xihuang Yuanfeng at least.
And then there was one final thing that Lu Tianzi had to check with Xihuang Yuanfeng – the item gifted to him by the Scarlet Moon Overlord.
