"Are the inscriptions and formations built into them really that difficult to crack?"

Dean asked.

"To be honest, the formations and inscriptions used are not exactly of the extremely high level. But they are arranged and implemented in such a complicated manner that even Peak Stage Divine Plane Cultivators will have a hard time dealing with them."
