Chapter 3232: Storming the Grand Hall [2/3 I don

Luo Yu, though unsure, was very excited and tried to step forward to take the book, but Ye Liuyun grabbed them.

"You're risking your life? If it's that easy to get, I'd have taken it already!" Ye Liuyun warned her: "There is a Formation here, and I can't see how to break it yet. Everyone stay still, don't touch anything."

He also reminded the others not to trigger the Formation. His Golden Pupil had already detected that the table, chairs, crown and the book were all linked by the Formation, and a single touch would likely set it off. He was now probing to locate the Formation's eye.

Suddenly, the Book Demon in Ye Liuyun's Sea of Consciousness spoke again: "There's another, weaker Book Demon here."

"In the book before my eyes?" Ye Liuyun asked the Book Demon.

"Definitely not. That fluctuation comes from behind you!" the Book Demon reminded Ye Liuyun.

"Behind me? Isn't that the entrance of the Grand Hall?" Ye Liuyun was a little puzzled.

"What's above the inner doorway of the hall?" the Book Demon asked Ye Liuyun.

Ye Liuyun did not turn around, fearing the Book Demon would notice, but he probed with Divine Sense and found a golden plaque inscribed with the characters "Qingjing". It must have been carved directly by a Martial Cultivator with a sword; the script was robust and powerful. kΑnshufive. ξa

He used Divine Sense to scan the front and back of the plaque and found nothing unusual.

The Book Demon, knowing what he was thinking, guessed: "It may be inside that plaque!"

"Do you want to seize it, or should I act?" Ye Liuyun asked the Book Demon directly.

"Hehe, such a simple thing, leave it to me!" the Book Demon chuckled, reactivated Time Power, froze time, then burst out of Ye Liuyun's Sea of Consciousness and rushed straight into the plaque.

After a moment, the Book Demon emerged from the plaque, glanced toward the throne, then returned to Ye Liuyun's Sea of Consciousness. Ye Liuyun also saw that the Book Demon's size had increased by a circle, suggesting its haul was substantial.

"The book you're looking for is indeed within that plaque; it is a technique for cultivating True Essence, but it's far inferior to your supreme Divine Core. The plaque is guarded by a Formation; be careful when you use Technique to attack, lest you destroy the book inside as well."
