The prohibitions were indeed too difficult to break. Yang Zhen had exerted an immense amount of effort, barely managing to decipher up to the Seventh Mountain within an hour and nearly resorted to using the Nine Realms Exquisite Tower.
However, Yang Zhen felt that the prohibitions set by the Saintess Tianxuan shouldn't be so simple.
That's right, the prohibitions that were already difficult for Yang Zhen, he felt, shouldn't be this simple. After all, how could a great sage from the early era of the Great Desolation be so simplistic?
The Nine Realms Exquisite Tower surely had other uses, so he couldn't use it now. What if he used it now and then needed it later in another place? Wouldn't that be embarrassing?
So he couldn't use it, absolutely couldn't use it!
Yang Zhen abandoned this tempting thought and simply put the Nine Realms Exquisite Tower back into his storage ring, then started scratching his head and ears as he tried to break through the Seventh Mountain.
