Wang Xiao's eyes shifted, scanning the monastery's surroundings. His sharp senses caught onto something—the entire monastery was enveloped in a sacred golden barrier.
It wasn't just any barrier; it was intricately designed, pulsing with divine energy. He could've walked through it easily, but its strength was immense.
The barrier was not only for defense—it also hid the monastery from prying eyes, its presence masked in the world.
His eyes narrowed further, tracing the energy points that sustained the barrier. They formed a distinct pattern, a network of interconnected nodes. Something about it tugged at his memory, reminding him of something he had encountered just months ago. The pattern was too familiar to be ignored.
"What is this?' Wang Xiao mused. The arrangement of the barrier's critical points aligned with something he had seen before, something that had been bothering him ever since.
