"Who are you, sir?" Austin asked.
Austin's spiritual senses tried to approach that flimsy figure. He sent out a voice through the spiritual sense prudently.
Suddenly the figure shook his hand slightly.
Austin realized that his spiritual sense was touching a hard surface, like a wall. It couldn't move forward any longer, however hard he tried.
It was obvious that the figure didn't want Austin's spiritual sense to have a close look at him.
"I'm surprised that there is someone still knowing the Eighteen Arhats Array which was only in use hundreds of years ago!"
said the figure gently with a sigh.
"Can you recognize the Eighteen Arhats Array?"
Austin was taken aback when the figure spoke about the Array.
"Of course!
I'm the one who arranged the eighteen peaks here. I know this place like the back of my hand."
That man informed Austin about it with a sneer.
Hearing it, Austin was shocked.
He wondered how it was possible for this man to set up those eighteen mountains, which were in the charge of the Heaven Pavilion Sect.
'Were these mountains made by humans instead of nature?'
Austin didn't think it was possible.
"But that old man knows very little about the Eighteen Arhats Array and he has wrongly understood it.
The array he set up is a complete mess!"
spoke the man in a disdainful tone.
'Did Fanny's grandfather set up the array in a wrong way?'
Austin was stunned as he thought over it.
"Then, what is the right way to arrange the Eighteen Arhats Array? You sound like you are familiar with it. Can you tell me, sir?" Austin asked.
The man had intrigued Austin. He wanted to know the facts.
"So, do you want to know?"
The man asked Austin after thinking for a while.
"Yes, sir. As of now, the Triangle Zone is in a state of turmoil, and the Heaven Palace will attack here soon. It will become a wasteland without the Eighteen Arhats Array guarding it."
Austin gave that man a quick idea about what was happening in the Triangle Zone.
The man stood still for a long time after hearing it all.
"It is inevitable to see blood and death once the demon race returns to the Prime Martial World.
Perhaps, this is destined to happen.
Young man, the Heaven Palace is not as simple as it looks. Even with the protection of the Eighteen Arhats Array, this place is still likely to end up in ruins.
Well, it's not a big deal to tell you about the Eighteen Arhats Array."
The moment the man finished talking, Austin felt a message had been sent to his Soul Sea along with his spiritual sense.
"Young man, you are quite lucky to own the spiritual tree. I wish you good luck.
And don't tell anyone that you had seen me."
Before Austin could understand anything, the figure started to fade out from feet to head.
"Wait a minute!"
Austin wanted to ask him who he was and the thing he had said regarding the demon race returning to the Prime Martial World.
But the figure didn't listen and never appeared again, though Austin kept calling out.
Austin's spiritual sense searched everywhere, even under the ground. But there was no sign of that figure any more.
So Austin finally gave up calling back the figure, and took back his spiritual sense.
In the secret chamber, he settled down dejected.
Austin was looking over the message that had entered into his Soul Sea.
It was no surprise for him, that the message was about the Eighteen Arhats Array.
The principle of the Eighteen Arhats Array, the different ways to arrange it and other matters pertaining to it that needed attention to activate the array to defend and attack were explicitly explained in detail.
But Austin knew nothing about the array deployment.
Though the information about the Eighteen Arhats Array was detailed in his Soul Sea, Austin was still confused about the Array.
He knew it was impossible for him to figure out anything about the ancient array by himself.
It was an ancient array which had been passed down from a long time ago. He felt that suddenly being given knowledge about it was not going to be of great help.
