Xia Wenxu possesses the "Heavenly Vision," and when he first laid eyes on Gu Feng, he sensed that this seemingly honest and timid Light Mage was anything but ordinary.
Upon returning to the Dutian Inn, Xia Wenxu inquired with Yun Sheng and, after learning about Gu Feng’s destiny, made the conclusion he just shared with him.
Gu Feng is a friend of Yun Sheng. According to Yun Sheng, Gu Feng’s abilities are average; he’s just a Sky Mage.
Could a mage with such cultivation truly hold the secrets to crafting a New Magic Array?
The Dutian Blood Seal was the strongest magic array, created by the Eight Great Masters using the blood of the Eight Great Clan Leaders of the Eight Desolate Beast Clan.
It has existed for nearly ten thousand years, serving as a natural barrier between the Wuji Continent and the Bahuang Continent.
How could a mere Sky Mage compare to the likes of the Eight Great Masters and the Bahuang Clan Leaders?
Xia Wenxu was puzzled. He originally planned to discuss with Gu Feng personally after the Heavenly Destiny, but unexpectedly, after nightfall, Gu Feng came to find him on his own.
Xia Wenxu took the opportunity to ask about Gu Feng’s magic cultivation.
To Xia Wenxu’s surprise, Gu Feng’s mastery of Light Magic was something even he couldn’t replicate.
Xia Wenxu’s silence made Gu Feng feel uneasy.
"I’ve understood the meaning behind the words of the Magic God; perhaps the key to the Magic Array we’ve been searching for lies within you. You are the savior of the Wuji Continent’s safety," Xia Wenxu said, leaving Gu Feng stunned.
The savior?
Seriously, Gu Feng is the savior?
If anyone but Xia Wenxu had said this, Gu Feng would have burst out laughing.
However, in front of Xia Wenxu, Gu Feng definitely dared not do so.
It was as if he had returned to his early days at the Magic Academy; Gu Feng’s stuttering, which had long since vanished, unexpectedly returned, "Xia... Xia Siming, please... don’t scare me, such a heavy crown... it might crush me."
Xia Wenxu said nothing further, merely gazing at Gu Feng.
Gu Feng, feeling guilty under his gaze, muttered, "Xia Siming, are you serious about what you said?"
Despite his words, Gu Feng knew that Xia Siming was unlikely joking.
"Perhaps many don’t know, but the Dutian Blood Seal is actually a Light Magic Array. Its essence is very similar to your Bright Celestial Sphere," Xia Wenxu and Chang Siming discovered this only after the Blood Seal collapsed.
The hostility within the Dutian Beast Blood Realm is the most malevolent and filthy power in the world.
To seal this hostility, only a special Light Magic Array of opposite attributes can be used.
This special Light Magic Array must meet two conditions: first, it must have extremely strong defenses to withstand the vast hostility from both inside and outside the seal.
The second condition is that this Magic Array must be low in consumption.
In the absence of the Eight Desolate Divine Artifacts, the fewer Magic Arrays used, the longer they can last.
Gu Feng’s Bright Celestial Sphere happens to fulfill these two conditions.
The more Gu Feng listened, the less confident he felt.
"Xia Siming, there’s still one thing I don’t understand. The Magic Array is lifeless, but I am human. I can try to maintain the Bright Celestial Sphere, but I can’t possibly stay in the Blood Realm for my entire life, can I?" As a Light Mage, Gu Feng naturally dislikes places like the Blood Realm, full of slaughter and hostility.
During every experience, he endures with an attitude of avoiding it whenever possible.
From Xia Wenxu’s words, if the Bright Celestial Sphere could truly stabilize the Dutian Blood Realm, doesn’t that mean he would have to stay in the Blood Realm forever?
"Indeed, once the new Magic Array is drawn, you will have to remain in the Blood Realm for a lifetime until your life is exhausted," Xia Wenxu’s final words struck Gu Feng like a thunderclap.
Stay here forever?
Then wouldn’t he never see Lingling, Yun Sheng, and Qi again?
Would he end up like Feng Tian, becoming a monster?
"Ex...Excuse me, Xia Siming, I can’t agree to this," Gu Feng instinctively refused.
He worried Xia Wenxu would insist, so he hurriedly ran out.
Xia Wenxu did not give chase, but his amber eyes flickered with a peculiar gleam.
He seemed to murmur to himself, or perhaps lament aloud, "If it could be easily changed, it wouldn’t be fate."
Outside, the sound of footsteps approached.
