Reborn as a Hatrack in the Mystical Land-Chapter 46 - 33: Unusual Phenomena - The Mysterious Steles Chime in Unison

It truly was as if the heavens were helping me. Yue Jinghua watched the somewhat visible, somewhat hidden Dark Skill Stele with a sly smile on her lips, while Lie Sisi, sitting cross-legged, was at the critical juncture of her enlightenment.

When students from the Inner Court entered, there were no restrictions on the time or the number of steles they could study. Lie Sisi tried dozens of steles along the way, and finally found the Dark Technique that suited her best. However, this Dark Technique was very complex and required a significant amount of time to comprehend. Just when Lie Sisi felt she was at the critical moment of enlightenment.

The hundreds of steles shone with a brightness akin to the sun in the sky, blindingly brilliant.

Lie Sisi was staring with her beautiful eyes, studying earnestly, unaware that such intense light would suddenly erupt.

"Ah," a piercing pain in her pupils. The Dark Skill Stele in front of her radiated an astonishing brilliance that burned the eyes. Just as Lie Sisi tried to open her eyes for another look, the ivory stone tablet exploded, and sharp fragments grazed her cheek as she screamed in pain. Her vision darkened, and she fainted before she could even get a clear view of the Dark Technique Formulas inscribed on the stele.

Just moments before, Yue Jinghua had shattered the Jade Tablet with a hint of Creation Power merged into it.

Ignoring the unconscious Lie Sisi, Yue Jinghua's Divine Sense strolled leisurely towards the third and fourth walls of the Xuan Technique Pavilion.

When all the lights from the ivory stone tablets in the Xuan Technique Pavilion burst forth, they refracted captivating beams that seemed like a fierce sun in the darkness, illuminating the entire Xuanji Academy.

In the midst of the night, Xuanji Academy's Xuan Technique Pavilion became like a lighthouse, lighting up a ten-mile radius as if it were broad daylight.

This light lasted for a full hour, around midnight, which should have been the darkest hour.

All the students and the masters of the Inner Court were awakened by it.

When the Xuan Technique Pavilion's light blazed and the ivory stone tablets lit up simultaneously, She Xiang, who had rushed over upon hearing the news, immediately found Yao Xin pacing anxiously outside the pavilion.

"Yao Xin, what on earth is going on?"

Facing Dean She Xiang's questioning, Yao Xin wiped the sweat from his forehead, lips pale.

"Most of the students who went inside have come out, only Lie Sisi is left," said Yao Xin with growing unease.

"Lie Family Mansion's Lie Sisi? No wonder then. Lie Sisi is extraordinarily intelligent. Looking at the situation in the Xuan Technique Pavilion today, this phenomenon must have been caused by her," She Xiang nodded with a sense of gratification. Lie Sisi had a bit of a reputation in the academy, and occasionally, the Jade Tablet in the Xuan Technique Pavilion would blaze with Dark Light, indicating that her comprehension abilities were quite good.

"Dean, I haven't finished speaking. Not only is Lie Sisi inside, but also two students from the Outer Court who you had granted special permission to enter earlier," Yao Xin said with great difficulty, a bad premonition brewing inside him.

"Students from Qiu Chuzi? Hmm, that's a bit more troublesome. Such intense Jade Tablet Dark Light, if a student without Dark Power stays in there too long, at the very least they could be blind for a few days, and at worst they could be blinded for life. Yao Xin, you must enter the Xuan Technique Pavilion immediately and bring the people out," upon hearing they were Qiu Chuzi's students, She Xiang felt a headache coming on.

"Dean, I am unable to enter the Xuan Technique Pavilion. Right when the light burst forth, the Nine Palace Formation was automatically activated. Unless a master comes from inside to Break the Formation, at this moment, not to mention a person, not even a mosquito can fly in," Yao Xin whispered in reply.

"The Nine Palace Formation was activated automatically?" She Xiang looked back at the Xuan Technique Pavilion with disbelief in her eyes.

"Dean, it's my fault. Earlier, to make things difficult for the two students from the Outer Court, I activated the First Level of the Nine Palace Formation. Perhaps I accidentally touched some other Prohibition at that time," Yao Xin didn't dare hide anything further, and explained the situation.

"Yao Xin, what a great deed you've done. Immediately have all paths to the Xuan Technique Pavilion blocked off. If any students or teachers ask, just say I am comprehending Dark Techniques inside the pavilion. Tonight's events at the Xuan Technique Pavilion must not be leaked, not even a smidgen. Once the students inside come out safely, then we will make further arrangements," She Xiang said coldly, looking anxiously towards the Xuan Technique Pavilion.

Luckily, there was only an hour left until the Secret Key expired and forcibly ejected the students inside.

However, what She Xiang and Yao Xin didn't know was that an hour was enough to do a lot, especially for a 23rd-century female spy whose mind was comparable to a supercomputer.

Qing Pu was dumbfounded, watching in the span of just half an hour as Yue Jinghua had looked over all one hundred and fifty ivory stone tablets.
