Formation Core and Origin of the Terrifying Aura

At least I managed to open the doors…

Slowly getting back up again, Xuan Hao began to examine the dark room on the other side of the wooden doors where the terrifying aura originated from. Not taking long to spot the several large bookshelves filled to the brim with all sorts of ancient-looking books and scrolls.

Unlike the rest of the Exchange Hall, the books and scrolls located inside the core section of the Exchange Hall did not seem to have suffered any damage. Making him certain that the enemy who attacked the Exchange Hall in the past, should not have managed to break through to the core section where the formation core was located.

Unfortunately for Xuan Hao, he did not take long to realize that all of these bookshelves were covered by a thin protective layer belonging to the protective formation. From the looks of things, he wouldn't be able to get his hands on any of the secret techniques or possible precious information stored inside the books.
