Chapter 601: The Reason
Wandering Man could see the worry and doubt in Qin Sang’s eyes. He flew forward, stopping near the Southern Sun Fire, and after scanning his surroundings, suddenly flicked his fingers, sending countless threads of spiritual power into the walls of the tunnel.
In the next moment, a faint azure light began to glow within the tunnel.
Mysterious and complex runes surfaced along the walls, previously invisible. As Wandering Man moved, the runes activated, and the azure light grew brighter, gradually outlining the shape of a spiritual array.
Although this light was nowhere near as intense as the Southern Sun Fire, it still held its own within the tunnel.
Qin Sang quickly realized that this array bore no resemblance to the fragmented arrays or celestial barrier they had encountered before. It did not seem to be an innate part of Ziwei Palace.
Though not as intricate or mysterious as the celestial arrays outside, the array was still exquisitely constructed and entirely self-contained. There was no way it had been made by an ordinary cultivator.
Qin Sang could not understand it. Even just looking at it for too long made him feel dizzy.
The azure light shimmered quietly.
Then, a small fire-red bird flew out from within the array, chirping as it circled around Wandering Man before obediently landing on his arm and lowering its head to preen its feathers.
The bird looked lively and lifelike.
But a sweep of spiritual consciousness immediately revealed the truth. It was not a living creature, but a puppet crafted from some kind of spiritual material, incomparably intricate and skillfully made.
The bird was completely red, and its feathers seemed to burn with flame. Yet this effect did not come from its original materials. The aura it gave off was exactly the same as the Southern Sun Fire.
