第三千五百二十章 藏宝图的真相

The two girls' good fortune was truly profound. Lin Xuan felt joy for his apprentices, though he still harbored some doubts.

"Your luck has been quite good this time. But why did you end up in the Rain桐 Realm?"

Lin Xuan genuinely wondered about this point. Although the Ruins Sea was mysterious, it ultimately consisted of ancient battlefields, and there should be no inter-realm teleportation arrays based on reason or emotion.

"We encountered a spatial vortex."

"What? A spatial vortex?" Lin Xuan was dumbfounded, unable to believe his ears for a moment.

These two girls not only had such deep good fortune but were also incredibly lucky. Even entering a spatial vortex didn't guarantee survival; they had managed to make it safely to the Rain桐 Realm without any casualties.

This must be their great luck and good fortune!

Thinking of this, Lin Xuan couldn't help but show a touch of sympathy on his face.

Although these two girls had narrowly escaped with their lives, they must have endured much hardship in that vortex.

Fortunately, surviving such a calamity brought good fortune. Everything was now behind them.

He would take care of his apprentices; he wouldn't let them endure such hardships again.

"Fei'er, Yan'er, you shouldn't be so impulsive from now on. With me as your master, no one will bully you."

"Thank you, Master."

The two girls smiled warmly and bowed slightly. Meeting their master again was truly wonderful.

"By the way, did your conflict with the Fluttering Cloud Pavilion have anything to do with a treasure map?"

"Master, how could you know?" Shangguan Fei blurted out, then turned red: "Disciple is so foolish; it must be Sister Liu Xin who told you."

"Indeed. The Seven Treasures of Nirvana are very useful to me. Hand over the treasure map."

"Yes, Master."

Shangguan Yan did not hesitate and reached into her waistband, retrieving a jade cylinder that was in tatters, barely half remaining.

"This is the treasure map?"

Lin Xuan's expression showed surprise.

"Correct!"

Liu Xin confidently confirmed this.

She then performed the same action, taking out the jade cylinder from her storage bracelet with a flick of her hand. The surface shimmered as she extracted it.

The girls were all intelligent and guessed that the Seven Treasures of Nirvana were extraordinary treasures. However, they did not hesitate to comply when Lin Xuan desired them.

Lin Xuan's face showed satisfaction. He examined the two halves of the jade cylinder, which were both in poor condition but radiated an ancient aura from their surfaces.

Clearly, these were no ordinary items.

Lin Xuan took them and played with them for a moment before inhaling deeply. Auras of five colors gathered around his body as he focused on his palm.

Suddenly, something incredible happened. The two halves of the jade cylinder began to merge in the dazzling light. This process lasted about the time it takes to drink tea.

The light dissipated, revealing a new and intact jade cylinder.

Lin Xuan's magical techniques were truly astonishing; no one could match his effortless mastery.

The girls' expressions showed admiration. If they had obtained the treasure map, they would have spent much effort to restore it, but none of them could achieve such ease as Lin Xuan did.

However, Lin Xuan showed no pride and lowered his head slightly, sinking his consciousness into the jade cylinder.

Lin Xuan's expression was so focused that his face changed with the passage of time. The girls remained silent, carefully observing him.

Seeing this, they felt a bit surprised.

Just a treasure map, yet their master's expression was so serious—could there be something more?

Moon's face showed some tension as well. Although she was content to stay by her young master's side, as a cultivator, she couldn't help but hope for power. If she could recover the power of the Nirvana King, Moon would be very happy.

In any case, this was an opportunity not to be missed. Given their master's expression, it seemed there might be significant difficulties.

"Master, what is wrong?"

"Ah!"

Lin Xuan sighed and handed Rain桐 Realm to Moon.

Moon was taken aback as she accepted the realm and delved into her consciousness.

Meanwhile, Lin Xuan inwardly scoffed. Despite his preparations, he realized that this quest for the Seven Treasures of Nirvana had been more challenging than expected.

A small mistake could lead to a huge error.

The ear ring of the Seven Treasures of Nirvana was not in Rain桐 Realm; it was merely an entrance.

Indeed, an entrance!

When Lin Xuan first saw the treasure map, he was confused. Only after reading it did he understand its true meaning.

It turned out that the ear ring of the Seven Treasures of Nirvana was hidden in the True Spirit Realm.

The True Spirit Realm was also known as the True Spirit Space, a habitat for true spirits.

True spirits were unique entities distinct from cultivators and ordinary beasts. They had the ability to shatter space and could be seen within the Three Realms.

However, seeing true spirits was rare; they mostly resided in their own territories—the True Spirit Realm.

What exactly is the True Spirit Realm?

It's difficult to explain with words. In essence, it lies between the Spirit Realm and the Immortal Realm, a collection of interfaces.

The term "collection" means that each True Spirit Realm could only accommodate one true spirit.

For example, the Phoenix Realm housed the phoenix, while the Black Tortoise Realm hosted the black tortoise.

Even advanced cultivators like those who had passed their tribulation were unlikely to enter these realms.

This was because the location of the True Spirit Space was extremely elusive. Even if a tribulation-stage cultivator could shatter space, accurately reaching it would be challenging.

A moment's inattention could lead one into a spatial vortex.

Thus, advanced beings generally avoided such risks unless necessary.

The treasure map clearly indicated that by accessing a specific spatial node within Rain桐 Realm, one could reach the True Spirit Space.

To be honest, if Lin Xuan knew the location of the spatial nodes, he would not fear most True Spirit Realms. With his current strength, he had the power to challenge ordinary true spirits and likely win.

However, this particular destination made him wary: it was called the Burial Grounds of True Spirits.

As its name suggests, it was the resting place of true spirits.

Just hearing this name sent a chill down one's spine.

Lin Xuan was speechless. How could the ear ring of the Seven Treasures of Nirvana be buried there?
