After being blasted backward, Lin Qiye crashed heavily to the ground, but he quickly scrambled back up, his eyes filled with vigilance. Everyone gathered around the stone platform, staring at the box radiating a powerful fluctuation of spiritual energy, their minds full of doubt.
An elder of the Xuanxing Family frowned and said, "This box seems to have a powerful restriction on it; we cannot open it rashly." Another elder nodded in agreement, saying, "It seems we need to find a way to lift the restriction, otherwise not only will we fail to obtain the Divine Artifact, but we might also suffer severe injuries."
Shen Qingzhu observed the box closely and found it covered in intricate runes and patterns. These runes and patterns bore a certain similarity to those on the ancient trees they had seen in the forbidden area, yet possessed subtle differences. She played a soothing melody on her flute, attempting to use her spiritual energy to perceive the mysteries of the runes. As the flute notes encircled the box, some of the runes flickered slightly, as if responding to her exploration.
