第三千五百七十六章 幻境空间

Faced with a formidable opponent, Lin Xuan remained remarkably calm. His calculations were precise to the extreme, but the wondrous and unpredictable nature of the cultivation world meant that unexpected events could easily occur.

---

On this side, the Hundred Dragon Fang's power surged mightily, temporarily blocking the five monsters despite their reluctance. Moonlight was now unobstructed; she should be able to retrieve the treasure without any issues.

However, things were not as straightforward as they seemed.

---

With the young master's protection, Moonlight successfully infiltrated the small lake. She knew that time was of the essence and wasted no time. She released her divine sense to search for the treasure.

Fortunately, although this area weakened her divine sense somewhat, the lake wasn't vast. As a cultivation expert who had passed through tribulation, Moonlight quickly located her target—a black storage bag hidden behind a large stone not far from her.

Moonlight was overjoyed and swam towards it. Just as she thought the treasure was within reach, an unexpected change occurred. The previously calm lake water began to ripple, followed by a blur of surroundings. Moonlight realized that she had somehow ended up in a desolate place.

This vast plain stretched out before her, but everything around was eerie and gloomy. A grayish mist hung in the sky, and the rocks were dark. There were hardly any tall green plants; only some low shrubs could be seen on distant hills.

"Where am I?"

Moonlight felt disoriented. Had she somehow ended up in the Netherworld?

She and the young master should have been together, right? Could it be that there was a mistake with the teleportation array on Penglai Mountain, causing them to ascend to the spirit world but end up in the Netherworld instead?

Where was the young master now?

Moonlight felt incredibly helpless and lonely. She looked around but saw no one.

She released her divine sense again but found nothing.

This sudden panic was understandable. In the mortal world, although cultivation could be perilous, she always had the young master to protect her from any dangers. With his protection, she never feared anything, feeling like she had a peaceful haven wherever she went.

But now that he was suddenly gone, how could she not feel anxious?

Her six senses were in turmoil.

---

It was as if she was a ant on a hot pan.

---

"Turns out these two are from the mortal world. No wonder their cultivation strength far exceeds that of ordinary cultivators at the same level; they truly are extraordinary."

From beneath the lake, another figure emerged—a beautiful and delicate butterfly, stunning to behold.

Phantom Moon Moth!

No one knew how it had arrived here.

It had managed to deceive everyone's divine senses, including Lin Xuan and the two women. Even the true spirits guarding this place were unaware of its presence.

With a flick of its wings, a streak of green light shot out, transforming into a slender hand that picked up the storage bag.

In the end, it was like the saying: "When two rivals fight over a pearl, a fisherman reaps the benefit." Lin Xuan loved playing such tricks, but this time, he had been caught off guard by the Phantom Moon Moth's swift action.

The moth lowered its head and released its divine sense. It then showed a disappointed expression on its face: "Too bad; there’s no Phantasmal Fruit here."

"But the other treasures are quite impressive. They must be what those outsiders have long desired."

As it spoke, it raised its head. A light ball hovered about a dozen feet away in mid-air.

The ball was roughly a foot wide and pure black, yet shimmered with starlight-like radiance.

It appeared mysterious beyond words.

Gold and silver inscriptions burst forth from the surface, adding to its enigmatic aura.

A smile played on the Phantom Moon Moth's lips.

"Such a small girl; she couldn't possibly escape her own illusory space. But I didn’t expect them to be cultivators who ascended from the mortal world."

"They made a mistake during their ascent and ended up in the Netherworld. How strange."

The moth looked bewildered. At its level, its illusions could already penetrate people's minds.

Everything was visible to it.

However, that was theoretically true.

---

Moonlight was also at the tribulation stage; even if she were to perform a soul probing technique, it might not be effective on her. Illusions would naturally have much less impact.

For instance, the secrets of the Asura King remained intact.

But by chance, the Phantom Moon Moth discovered their secret as ascended cultivators.

Based on this foundation, it performed an unparalleled illusion. Otherwise, with Moonlight's current strength, she wouldn't have been so easily ambushed and sealed in its illusory space.

---

Moonlight had a poor start; retrieving the treasure was fraught with difficulties. However, Lin Xuan was unaware of her predicament.

The Hundred Dragon Fang's power was formidable, but against five true spirits that were comparable to tribulation cultivators, it could only barely hold them off for a while. How long exactly was uncertain.

According to his calculations, Moonlight should have retrieved the treasure within moments—no more than the time it took to drink a cup of tea. With few true spirits around, he could use secret techniques to escape elsewhere.

The idea seemed good, but things changed too suddenly.

Lin Xuan used all his strength to hold back the monsters, but as time passed, Moonlight still hadn't been found.

What was going on? The lake was empty and not large; why had she failed to find the treasure after a cup of tea?

Lin Xuan was perplexed. If there were any dangers or strong opponents, it should have been evident from the intense combat. But everything seemed unremarkable now.

With his divine sense probing the small lake, he found nothing amiss, but Moonlight had vanished into thin air.

This sounded impossible, yet upon reflection, it wasn't unusual. While other techniques might not be mentioned, the Phantom Moon Moth's illusions were unparalleled, and Lin Xuan’s divine sense was deceived without any issues.

But this only made Lin Xuan more panicked. How could Moonlight have disappeared so suddenly? Where had she gone?

Lin Xuan wanted to search for her but found himself unable to do so. The Hundred Dragon Fang not only blocked the monsters but also enraged them, now turning on him.

Laughing and crying, he wondered if this was self-inflicted. But it was too late; no one dared treat these true spirits lightly. Despite his concern for Moonlight, he couldn't be careless. He had to remain calm and deal with the current attack first.

In a moment, sword energy surged,法宝飞舞,天空中闪烁着五颜六色的灵光与声波。林轩和五头真灵打得不亦乐乎。
