Chapter 1536
“And what method would that be?” Everyone turned to look at Six Paths . Little Fairy was the one who asked, desperate for a solution .

Six Paths said quietly, “The Space-Vortex Shield means there is a dimension beyond it . No matter how strong we are, we will be sucked inside . That is, unless we have the necessary power to break through space . If we don’t have that power, we can’t break through the barrier . ”
After pausing, Six Paths pointed at one of the pedestals and said, “These are different . If that king was able to leave text on them, that means they are not protected by the Space-Vortex Shield . If we get rid of them, perhaps it will be possible for us to deduce the blind spot of the shielding . ”
“Although there may not even be a blind spot, it is still worth a try . This is the only opportunity we might get,” God’s Retribution added .
“Then what are we waiting for? Let’s break those pedestals . ” Little Fairy had calmed down . She spoke quickly, but she wasn’t actually in a great rush, and she didn’t move .
Six Paths summoned his Six Paths Sword and pointed it towards the pedestal which carried the sword . Then he said, “If this works, I want this sword . ”
Six Paths then struck the pedestal . A metallic clang rang out . All his strike did was leave a white mark . Six Paths looked stunned, and the others all looked on in surprise .
They all knew how strong Six Paths was, and if his damage output could only render a white mark across the surface of the pedestal, it meant they had drastically underestimated the strength of the stone .

Six Paths stared down at the pedestal . The power across his body began to surge into a single spot—the tip of his sword . When he had gathered it all, he unleashed another swing .
This worked far better . He inflicted a half-decent mark across the pedestal . It was still rather shallow, though, and shallower than the inscriptions left by Eastern King .
“The rock is hard,” God’s Retribution couldn’t help but say .
“This top surface of the pedestal is one meter in length . If we can’t do any better than this, trying something else like drilling might work, but it would take us a long time . ” Six Paths frowned .
“Then how about we all take shifts, chipping away at one?” Han Sen said . “If we can end up getting the items inside, then it will be worth the time spent trying to extract them . ”
Everyone started to discuss the suggestion . In the end, they settled on working in shifts to drill a hole into the pedestal from below . They really wanted to see if they could grab the items that were upon them .
The pedestals were hardy, but definitely diggable . They dug into them nice and slow, and after a few days, they managed to dig a hole far enough to allow them to reach the treasure . ( Boxno vel . co m )

But, to their mild disappointment, the relics were still on the surface . The shielding vortex was wide, and it still prohibited them from reaching in and grabbing what they had worked for .
“It is no wonder Eastern King didn’t bother taking these items . Unless he was able to break through space, he wouldn’t have been able to grab them . ” God’s Retribution sounded extremely disappointed .
Han Sen knew it would be difficult to break space . He’d only be able to do it if he was like Dongxuan Zi, who really could break through space and punch a hole into an entirely different world . If they could do that, they could grab the items .
The treasure was in front of them, teasingly . And yet, none of them had the required strength to nab it .
The treasure might not have been obtainable, but at least Han Sen had earned something out of the affair . He recalled the Blood-Pulse Sutra’s secret technique, and after giving it a go, he realized he could practice with it .
Han Sen returned to Starsea Beast and Little Silver each and every day to check on the pair and see if they were fine . God’s Retribution took the opportunity to leave the white tower with him, as well .
“Bro, did you practice the secret scrawled upon the wall?” God’s Retribution asked Han Sen in a hushed voice when nobody was around .

“Not yet . Why? What’s wrong?” Han Sen knew the man wouldn’t randomly ask him about this . Something had to be up .
God’s Retribution went on to say, “You can tell that the secret skill written on the wall is related to our Blood-Pulse Sutra . I think this white tower is connected to Blood Legion . This skill might be the key to grabbing the loot . But when I practice it, I have no synergy or reaction with it . Maybe I’m doing it incorrectly, I don’t know . But I just figured I should ask you . ”
When Han Sen heard what he said, he thought to himself, How is this happening? Can God’s Retribution really not practice this? This is a skill that is connected to the Blood-Pulse Sutra . Blood Legion members must be able to learn it . And if he really can’t, then how am I able to? The only possibility that I can think of is that maybe God’s Retribution did not practice Life Door . He didn’t activate the breakthrough and learn it in its complete form .
That option seemed to make the most sense .
“You are a member of Blood Legion, so if you can’t learn it, I definitely cannot . ” Han Sen shook his head .
God’s Retribution thought that was likely, too, but he still said, “You should still try practicing it, anyway . Perhaps there’s something wrong with me or something . ”
Han Sen pretended to agree, and in two days, he was going to tell God’s Retribution that he had achieved no reaction with what was written on the walls .
If the skill was the key for obtaining the items, there was definitely no chance Han Sen was going to admit he had learned it . If someone from Blood Legion found out that an outsider was able to learn their secret skills, but an actual member could not, it would direct a lot of ire and jealousy his way . Plus, it really could have been the key to obtaining the items .
Han Sen did not want to leave his fate up to God’s Retribution’s kindness . So, he couldn’t admit to the man that he had success with the secret skill .
Of course, God’s Retribution might have been just acting, too . Perhaps he was able to practice it, and he was just pretending so he could snag all the treasure for himself .
Han Sen went to the place where Little Silver and Starsea Beast were . Starsea Beast was lying down, simply staring at the tower . Seeing Han Sen come near, it stood up happily and ran over to him . Its big tongue licked him across the face .
“How many times have I told you? You can’t greet people with your tongue . ” Han Sen had taught Starsea Beast the many manners of humans, but the creature was still unable to deny its nature .
Starsea Beast had recovered now, and although Han Sen had learned the basic nature of the skill, it was not something he could fully accomplish in two days . So, he planned to leave the place and return when he had mastered the technique .
