“ zhè lǐ shì ……”
“这里是……”
"Here we are..."
zài guāng yùn zhōng guān shēn yǐ hòu ， lín xuān lì kè fàng chū shén shí ， bìng xiǎo xīn de jiāng jiǔ tiān líng dùn jì qǐ ， yǐ fáng bèi bù míng wēi xiǎn tōu xí 。
在光韵中观身以后，林轩立刻放出神识，并小心的将九天灵盾祭起，以防被不明危险偷袭。
In the midst of the radiant light, Lin Xuan immediately released his divine consciousness and carefully summoned the Nine Heavens Spirit Shield to guard against any unknown dangers.
yú kě jiù piāo fú zài tā de shēn cè ， cǐ nǚ de biǎo qíng yě chà bu duō 。
娱坷就漂浮在他的身侧，此女的表情也差不多。
Yue Kuo hovered beside him. The expression on her face was similar.
shuō qǐ lái ， liǎng rén yǒu gòu dǎo méi ， jìn rù zhè zuò shén mì de jiàn zhù yǐ hòu ， jiù xiǎo xīn yì yì de xún zhǎo zháo chū kǒu 。
说起来，两人有够倒霉，进入这座神秘的建筑以后，就小心翼翼的寻找着出口。
To be honest, they were both quite unlucky. After entering this mysterious building, they cautiously searched for an exit.
zhōng yú zài yī zuò bù tài dà de fáng jiān zhōng guān le chuán sòng zhèn 。
终于在一座不太大的房间中观了传送阵。
Finally, in a not-so-large room, they found the teleportation array.
lín xuān yǔ nuǎn kē zì rán xīn xǐ wú bǐ ， suī rán bù zhī dào cǐ zhèn tōng xiàng nǎ lǐ ， dàn gū mō zhe yīng gāi néng gòu chū qù 。
林轩与暖珂自然欣喜无比，虽然不知道此阵通向哪里，但估摸着应该能够出去。
Lin Xuan and Yue Kuo naturally felt overjoyed. Although they didn't know where this array led, it seemed like it might take them out.
hé kuàng shì dào rú jīn ， tā men yě méi yǒu duō yú xuǎn zé ， bù guǎn chéng gōng yǔ fǒu 、 dōu zhǐ yǒu xiān shì shàng yī shì le 。
何况事到如今，他们也没有多余选择，不管成功与否、都只有先试上一试了。
Besides, with no other options at this point, they had to give it a try regardless of success or failure.
hǎo zài cǐ zhèn suī rán nián dài jiǔ yuǎn ， dàn què bìng méi yǒu sǔn huài ， yú shì liǎng rén ān shàng jīng shí ， shuāng shuāng zhàn le shàng qù 。
好在此阵虽然年代久远，但却并没有损坏，于是两人安上晶石，双双站了上去。
Fortunately, although the array was old, it hadn't been damaged. So, they installed crystal stones and stood on it together.
yī dào fǎ jué dǎ chū ， liǎng rén biàn zài guāng yùn zhōng xiāo shī le 。“。”
一道法诀打出，两人便在光韵中消失了。“。”
A spell was cast, and both vanished in the radiant light.
“ kàn lái wǒ men bìng méi yǒu táo chū nà shén mì de kōng jiān 。”
“看来我们并没有逃出那神秘的空间。”
"It seems we haven't escaped that mysterious space."
lín xuān tàn le kǒu qì ， biǎo qíng yě suí zhī yīn chén le xià qù 。
林轩叹了口气，表情也随之阴沉了下去。
Lin Xuan sighed, his expression darkening.
sì hū jǐ jīng chū le nà jù dà de jiàn zhù ， bù guò sì zhōu yī jiù huī méng méng de ， chú le luàn shí yǔ zá cǎo bié wú tā wù ， tè bié shì yāo qì hěn nóng ， yī kàn jiù hái shēn chù nà shén mì de kōng jiān zhī zhōng 。
似乎己经出了那巨大的建筑，不过四周依旧灰蒙蒙的，除了乱石与杂草别无他物，特别是妖气很浓，一看就还身处那神秘的空间之中。
It seemed they had left the massive building, but everything around them remained dimly gray. Apart from scattered rocks and weeds, there was nothing else. The aura of evil was particularly strong, indicating that they were still in that mysterious space.
nuǎn kē yī jiù zhuǎn tóu sì gù ， zhè wèi xuě hú zú dà gōng zhǔ měi lì de yǎn móu zhōng tū rán shǎn guò yī sī jīng yí zhī sè ：“ lín dào yǒu ， nǐ gǎn jué dào le me ？”
暖珂依旧转头四顾，这位雪狐族大公主美丽的眼眸中突然闪过一丝惊疑之色：“林道友，你感觉到了么？”
Yue Kuo turned her head to look around. A hint of suspicion flashed across her beautiful eyes as she asked Lin Daoist: "Did you feel it?"
“ shén me ？” lín xuān méi tou yí zhòu ， lüè yǒu xiē chà yì de kāi kǒu 。
“什么？”林轩眉头一皱，略有些诧异的开口。
"What?" Lin Xuan frowned, slightly surprised.
zhè yī lù shàng ， suī rán rén yāo shū tú ， dàn xiāng hù fú chí ， bǐ cǐ jiān de guān xì yě róng hā le xǔ duō ， zhì shǎo nuǎn hé duì yú lín xuān bù zài bào yǒu shén me jiè yì le ， cǐ kè xiāng ér jiù zài shào nián de huái zhōng ， bù zhī wèi hé ， zhè yā tou duì lín xuān bǐ duì jiě jiě hái yào qīn jìn yī xiē de 。
这一路上，虽然人妖殊途，但相互扶持，彼此间的关系也融哈了许多，至少暖何对于林轩不再抱有什么戒意了，此刻香儿就在少年的怀中，不知为何，这丫头对林轩比对姐姐还要亲近一些的。
Throughout their journey, although humans and demons followed different paths, they had supported each other, making their relationship more harmonious. At least Yue Kuo no longer harbored any suspicions towards him. Little Fragrance was in the boy's arms, and for some reason, she seemed to be closer to Lin Xuan than her sister.
“ zhè lǐ de yāo qì hěn nóng ， jī hū dào le bù kě sī yì de dì bù ， kōng jiān qí tā dì fāng yě bù néng yǔ zhī xiāng bǐ ， nǐ zhī dào zhè yǒu shén me yì yì ？” nuǎn kē méi tou yí zhòu ， huǎn huǎn kāi kǒu 。
“这里的妖气很浓，几乎到了不可思议的地步，空间其他地方也不能与之相比，你知道这有什么意义？”暖珂眉头一皱，缓缓开口。
"The aura here is incredibly strong, almost beyond comprehension. The rest of this space can't compare. Do you know what it means?" Yue Kuo frowned and slowly spoke.
“ gōng zhǔ shì shuō ” lín xuān de fǎn yìng yě hěn xùn ， lì kè huí guò wèi lái le ：“ zhè lǐ shì yāo mài de quán yǎn ？”
“公主是说”林轩的反应也很迅，立刻回过味来了：“这里是妖脉的泉眼？”
"Princess, are you saying..." Lin Xuan quickly understood: "This must be the source of a demon vein?"
“ bù cuò ” yě zhǐ yǒu rú cǐ cái néng shuō dé tōng 。“ nuǎn hé diǎn le diǎn tóu ， hé cōng míng rén jiǎng huà jiù shì qīng sōng 。” nà wǒ men guò qù kàn kàn ba ， jiǎ ruò zhēn shì quán yǎn ， yě xǔ huì yǒu chū kǒu 。“ lín xuān chén mò le piàn kè ， cái yǎn zhū yī zhuǎn de kāi kǒu 。” hǎo 。“ nuǎn hé zì rán méi yǒu yì yì ， yú shì liǎng rén huà zuò bù tóng yán sè de jīng hóng 。 xiàng zhèng qián fāng fēi lüè ér chū 。
“不错”也只有如此才能说得通。“暖河点了点头，和聪明人讲话就是轻松。”那我们过去看看吧，假若真是泉眼，也许会有出口。“林轩沉默了片刻，才眼珠一转的开口。”好。“暖何自然没有异议，于是两人化作不同颜色的惊虹。像正前方飞掠而出。
"That's right," she nodded. "Only then would it make sense." With a smile, she said, "Let's go check it out. If it is indeed the source, perhaps there will be an exit."
yǔ cǐ tóng shí ， xuě hú wáng yǔ yuè xián fēng yě tōng guò zǐ zhú lín lái dào le zhè shén mì de kōng jiān zhī zhōng ， bìng shùn lì chuān yuè hēi dòng 。
与此同时，雪狐王与岳弦峰也通过紫竹林来到了这神秘的空间之中，并顺利穿越黑洞。
Lin Xuan remained silent for a moment before replying with a quick glance: "Alright."
bì jìng liǎng rén dōu shì hòu qī de xiū wèi ， nà xiē mó qì huà chéng de guài wù bìng bù néng duì tā men zào chéng duō shǎo wēi xié 。
毕竟两人都是后期的修为，那些魔气化成的怪物并不能对他们造成多少威胁。
Yue Kuo naturally had no objections. Thus, they transformed into different colored streaks of light and flew towards the front.
lái dào guǎng chǎng ， kàn zhuó yǎn qián mì mì má má de diāo xiàng ， yī rén yī yāo de liǎn shàng yě bù yóu de lù chū le hài rán de biǎo qíng 。” shí huà shén tōng ， jū rán yī cì néng gòu shí huà rú cǐ duō de xiū shì yǔ yāo zú ， nà hái luó gǔ mó wèi miǎn yě tài kě pà le 。“ yuè xián fēng nán nán de kāi kǒu ， yǎn dǐ shēn chù ” yǐn yǐn shǎn guò le yī sī wèi jù zhī sè 。
来到广场，看着眼前密密麻麻的雕像，一人一妖的脸上也不由得露出了骇然的表情。”石化神通，居然一次能够石化如此多的修士与妖族，那还罗古魔未免也太可怕了。“岳弦峰喃喃的开口，眼底深处”隐隐闪过了一丝畏惧之色。
At the same time, Snow Fox King and Yue Yanxian also arrived in this mysterious space through the purple bamboo forest and successfully passed through the black hole.
yuè xiōng cǐ yán chà yǐ ， nà jiā luó gǔ mó de shén tōng gù rán fēi tóng xiǎo kě ， dàn shuō dào dǐ ， yě bù guò lí hé qī ， zěn me kě néng yī cì jiāng nǐ wǒ liǎng zú de qián bèi shùn jiān miè qù 。“ xuě hú wáng què yáo le yáo tóu 。 bù yǐ wéi rán de kāi kǒu 。” nà yǎn qián ……“” wǒ zěn me qīng chǔ ， dàn kěn dìng shì yǒu bié de yuán gù ， miǎo shā shù yǐ bǎi jì de xiū shì yǔ yāo zú ， zhè zhǒng shí huà shén tōng “ zhì shǎo yào dòng xuán qī de gǔ mó cái néng zuò dào de 。”
岳兄此言差矣，那迦罗古魔的神通固然非同小可，但说到底，也不过离合期，怎么可能一次将你我两族的前辈瞬间灭去。“雪狐王却摇了摇头。不以为然的开口。”那眼前……“”我怎么清楚，但肯定是有别的缘故，秒杀数以百计的修士与妖族，这种石化神通“至少要洞玄期的古魔才能做到的。”
After all, both were late-stage cultivators, so the demons formed from the dark energy posed little threat to them.
“ dòng xuán qī ， zěn me kě néng ， nà zhǒng céng cì de guài wù ， zài shàng jiè yě shì yī fāng bà zhǔ ， jiù suàn yǒu kòng jiān liè fèng ， yīn wèi yǒu jiè miàn zhī lì de yuán gù ， yě jué bù kě néng chuān yuè dào wǒ men zhè zhòng xià wèi jiè miàn lái de 。” yuè xián fēng liǎn sè dà biàn de kāi kǒu 。
“洞玄期，怎么可能，那种层次的怪物，在上界也是一方霸主，就算有空间裂缝，因为有界面之力的缘故，也绝不可能穿越到我们这种下位界面来的。”岳弦峰脸色大变的开口。
Upon arriving at the square, they saw countless statues. Both the human and demon faces showed shock.
“ dòng xuán qī yāo mó de běn tǐ dāng rán bù xíng ， bù guò fēn hún què wèi bì bù néng gòu jiàng lín ， suàn le ， zhè xiē dōu shì bǎi wàn nián qián de jiù shì ， zhǐ wǒ men méi yǒu guān xì ， wǒ men zhǐ yào què rèn yǒu méi yǒu wài rén chuǎng rù zhè lǐ ”“” xuě hú wáng huà yīn wèi luò ， tū rán biǎo qíng lèng lèng de dāi zhù le 。
“洞玄期妖魔的本体当然不行，不过分魂却未必不能够降临，算了，这些都是百万年前的旧事，旨我们没有关系，我们只要确认有没有外人闯入这里”“”雪狐王话音未落，突然表情愣愣的呆住了。
"Stone petrification technique. It can petrify so many cultivators and demons in one go. This Luo Gu魔 must be incredibly terrifying," Yue Yanxian muttered, a hint of fear flashing in his eyes.
yuè xián fēng zhòu le zhòu méi ， máng shùn zhe tā de mù guāng wàng le guò lái 。
岳弦峰皱了皱眉，忙顺着他的目光望了过来。
Brother Yue is wrong. While that Jialuo ancient demon's power is formidable, he is still at the Separation Stage. How could he possibly eliminate our predecessors from both races instantaneously? "The Snow Fox King shook his head and spoke disbelievingly.
suí hòu “ zhè wèi rén lèi xīn jìn jí de dà xiū shì yě liǎn sè kuáng biàn ：” bù hǎo ， diàn mén jǐ bèi dǎ kāi ， kàn lái shì zhēn yǒu rén chuǎng le jìn lái ， zěn me bàn ？“” fèi huà ， dāng rán shì qù zǔ zhǐ tā ， suī rán guò le zhè me jiǔ ， hái luó gǔ mó de yuán shén yīng gāi jǐ jīng bèi fǔ yǐn dài jìn le ， kě wàn yī chū diǎn shén me chā cuò ， nà kě bú shì nào zhe wán de 。“ xuě hú wáng liǎn sè yīn chén de kāi kǒu 。
随后“这位人类新晋级的大修士也脸色狂变：”不好，殿门己被打开，看来是真有人闯了进来，怎么办？“”废话，当然是去阻止他，虽然过了这么久，还罗古魔的元神应该己经被腐饮殆尽了，可万一出点什么差错，那可不是闹着玩的。“雪狐王脸色阴沉的开口。
"Before your eyes..."
suí hòu zhè yī rén yī yāo ， gè zhǎn shén tōng ， yǐ jí kuài de dùn fēi rù le dà diàn zhī zhōng 。” zhè shì shén me ？“ lín xuān wàng zhuó yǎn qián zhī wù ， mǎn liǎn zhèn bó zhī sè ， nán nán de kāi kǒu le 。
随后这一人一妖，各展神通，以极快的遁飞入了大殿之中。”这是什么？“林轩望着眼前之物，满脸震搏之色，喃喃的开口了。
"I don't know, but there must be other reasons for this. A petrification technique that can instantly petrify hundreds of cultivators and demons requires a Cave Profound期 ancient demon at the very least."
cǐ kè tā shēn chù yī shān zhī zhī zhōng ， rán ér miàn jī què shì jí guǎng ， sì zhōu dōu shì huī méng méng de yāo wù ， duì yú shén shí yě lüè yǒu zǔ gé 。” bù qīng chǔ ， bù guò cǐ dì yīng gāi jiù shì jí pǐn yāo mài de quán yǎn méi cuò ， yāo qì rú cǐ zhī nóng ， zài zhè lǐ ， wǒ de shén tōng dōu néng píng kōng zēng jiā bù shǎo de 。“ yuàn kē jiù zhàn zài lín xuān shēn cè ， liǎn lù xīng fèn de kāi kǒu 。” gōng zhǔ xiān bú yào gāo xìng tài zǎo le ， nǐ néng fǒu gào sù wǒ ， yǎn qián zhè bàng gǔ mù shì shén me ？“ lín xuān què mù guāng shǎn dòng ， liǎn sè níng zhòng de kāi jiàn jiù zài liǎng rén shēn qián shù zhàng yuǎn chù ， yǒu yī cān tiān gǔ mù ， lín xuān tà rù xiū xiān jiè ， yě suàn jiàn duō shí guǎng ， rán ér què cóng méi jiàn guò rú cǐ jù shù ， gāo bǎi yú zhàng ， zhī fán yè mào 、 gèng jiā gǔ guài de shì ， cǐ shù hái sàn zhe yī gǔ nóng liè de yāo qì 。
此刻他身处一山蜘之中，然而面积却是极广，四周都是灰蒙蒙的妖雾，对于神识也略有阻隔。”不清楚，不过此地应该就是极品妖脉的泉眼没错，妖气如此之浓，在这里，我的神通都能凭空增加不少的。“媛珂就站在林轩身侧，脸露兴奋的开口。”公主先不要高兴太早了，你能否告诉我，眼前这棒古木是什么？“林轩却目光闪动，脸色凝重的开见就在两人身前数丈远处，有一参天古木，林轩踏入修仙界，也算见多识广，然而却从没见过如此巨树，高百余丈，枝繁叶茂、更加古怪的是，此树还散着一股浓烈的妖气。
"Cave Profound period? How is that possible? Demons of such a level are lords in their own domains above. Even with spatial rifts, they would never be able to cross into our lower realm due to the realm's power," Yue Yanxian said, his face turning pale.
yuàn kē yáng qǐ tóu ， mù guāng shǎn dòng ， lín xuān yě jiāng shén shí fàng chū ， shí cǐ shù xì xì dǎ liàng 。” yí ？“ lín xuān tū rán méi tóu yī tiāo ， hún shēn qīng máng dà qǐ ， xiàng zhe shàng kōng fēi qù ， yuàn kē lüè yī yóu yù ， yě gēn le shàng lái 。
媛珂扬起头，目光闪动，林轩也将神识放出，时此树细细打量。”咦？“林轩突然眉头一挑，浑身青芒大起，向着上空飞去，媛珂略一犹豫，也跟了上来。
The physical body of a Cave Profound demon couldn't possibly come here, but its soul fragment might still be able to descend. Let's not dwell on this; it was something from over a million years ago and had nothing to do with us. We just need to confirm if anyone else has intruded," the Snow Fox King said.
jǐn jǐn bá gāo le wǔ shí yú zhàng ， lín xuān jiù tíng xià shēn xíng ， wàng zhuó yǎn qián de jù mù ， chén yín bù yǔ 。
仅仅拔高了五十余丈，林轩就停下身形，望着眼前的巨木，沉吟不语。
Before he could finish speaking, his expression suddenly froze.
zhǐ jiàn nà jù mù de shù gàn zhī shàng ， jū rán chū guān le yī zhāng rén liǎn ， wéi miào wéi xiào ， yǎn ěr kǒu bí ， wú yī huò quē ， bù guò zuì ràng lín xuān zài yì de shì pāo de é tóu ， xiāng qiàn zhe yī wù 。
只见那巨木的树干之上，居然出观了一张人脸，惟妙惟肖，眼耳口鼻，无一或缺，不过最让林轩在意的是抛的额头，镶嵌着一物。
Yue Yanxian frowned and followed his gaze.
yuē yǒu quán tou dà xiǎo ， fēi jīn fēi yù ， míng míng huī méng méng de ， què gěi rén yī zhǒng fēi cháng guǐ yì de huá měi gǎn jué ， lǐ miàn gèng yùn hán zhe ràng rén nán yǐ zhì xìn de yāo lì 。
约有拳头大小，非金非玉，明明灰蒙蒙的，却给人一种非常诡异的华美感觉，里面更蕴含着让人难以置信的妖力。
Then, the human cultivator who had just advanced shouted: "Not good, the gate is open! It seems someone really did enter. What should we do?"
lín xuān sǒng rán dòng róng ， suī rán rèn bù chū ， dàn zhè míng xiǎn shì yī jiàn bù dé le de bǎo wù 。” yāo yǎn shě lì ， mò fēi zhè jiù shì chuán shuō zhōng de yāo yǎn shě lì ？“ bèi hòu chuán lái jiāo hū ， lín xuān huí guò tóu ， guān yú hé yǐ shǒu yǎn kǒu ， mǎn liǎn de nán yǐ zhì xìn zhī sè d yāo yǎn shě lì ， nà shì shén me ？” lín xuān huí guò tóu ， dàn dàn de kāi kǒu 。
林轩耸然动容，虽然认不出，但这明显是一件不得了的宝物。”妖眼舍利，莫非这就是传说中的妖眼舍利？“背后传来娇呼，林轩回过头，观娱河以手掩口，满脸的难以置信之色d妖眼舍利，那是什么？”林轩回过头，淡淡的开口。
"Of course, we must stop him," the Snow Fox King said with a grim expression. "Although it's been so long, Luo Gu's soul might have decayed to nothingness. But if something goes wrong, that wouldn't be good."
yuàn kē tīng le ， xīn zhōng yī lǐn ， kàn le yī yǎn lín xuān ， jǐ qīng xǐng guò lái ， zì jǐ gāng gāng tài shī tài ， tā lüè yī chí yí ， bìng méi yǒu mǎ shàng jiě shì 。
媛珂听了，心中一凛，看了一眼林轩，己清醒过来，自己刚刚太失态，她略一迟疑，并没有马上解释。
Lin Xuan looked at the object before him, his face filled with shock as he murmured: "What is this?"
yī nǎi shēng nǎi qì de shēng yīn què chuán le guò lái ：
一奶声奶气的声音却传了过来：
He was in a mountain cave, but its vast area was shrouded in gray demon fog, slightly blocking his divine consciousness.
“ gē gē ， yāo yǎn shě lì wǒ tīng shuō guò ， nǎi shì yāo jiè shí dà bǎo wù zhī yī ， yǒu le xī jiù děng yú suí shí jiāng yī shàng pǐn de yāo mài dài zài shēn biān ， kě yǐ suí shí suí dì tí shēng xiū wèi ， bù lùn duì yú xiū yāo zhě ， hái shì yāo zú ， dōu dà yǒu hǎo chù ， wǒ céng jīng tīng fù wáng shuō qǐ guò 。”
“哥哥，妖眼舍利我听说过，乃是妖界十大宝物之一，有了牺就等于随时将一上品的妖脉带在身边，可以随时随地提升修为，不论对于修妖者，还是妖族，都大有好处，我曾经听父王说起过。”
"I'm not sure, but this must be the source of an upper-grade demon vein. The aura here is so strong that my abilities seem to increase," Yue Kuo said excitedly beside him.
"Princess, don't get too excited. Can you tell me what this ancient tree in front of us is?" Lin Xuan's expression turned serious as he asked.
Just a few dozen feet away from them stood an enormous ancient tree. Lin Xuan had seen many things since entering the cultivation world, but he had never encountered such a massive tree—over a hundred zhang tall with lush branches and leaves. More bizarrely, this tree emitted a strong aura of evil.
Yue Kuo raised her head, her eyes flashing as Lin Xuan released his divine consciousness to examine the tree carefully.
Lin Xuan suddenly frowned, his body emitting intense green light as he flew upwards. Yue Kuo hesitated before following him.
After climbing more than fifty zhang, Lin Xuan stopped and looked at the giant tree in silence.
On the trunk of this giant tree was a face, lifelike with every detail present—eyes, ears, nose, and mouth. What caught Lin Xuan's attention most was the forehead, which had something embedded within it.
About the size of a fist, neither made of gold nor jade, though grayish in appearance, it gave off an eerie yet beautiful aura, containing unimaginable demonic power.
Lin Xuan was greatly impressed. Although he couldn't recognize it, this clearly seemed to be a precious treasure.
"Jade Eye舍利? Could this be the legendary Jade Eye舍利?" A soft voice came from behind.
Lin Xuan turned around and saw Yue Kuo covering her mouth with her hand, her expression filled with disbelief.
"What is a Jade Eye舍利?" Lin Xuan asked calmly.
Yue Kuo's heart raced as she looked at him. She had overreacted just now. After a moment of hesitation, she didn't immediately explain.
A soft voice continued: "Brother, I've heard about the Jade Eye舍利. It is one of the ten treasures in the demon realm. With it, you can carry an upper-grade demon vein with you at all times, enhancing your cultivation whenever and wherever. It benefits both cultivators and demons greatly. I once heard my father mention it."
"Here we are..."
In the midst of the radiant light, Lin Xuan immediately released his divine consciousness and carefully summoned the Nine Heavens Spirit Shield to guard against any unknown dangers.
Yue Kuo hovered beside him. The expression on her face was similar.
To be honest, they were both quite unlucky. After entering this mysterious building, they cautiously searched for an exit.
Finally, in a not-so-large room, they found the teleportation array.
Lin Xuan and Yue Kuo naturally felt overjoyed. Although they didn't know where this array led, it seemed like it might take them out.
Besides, with no other options at this point, they had to give it a try regardless of success or failure.
Fortunately, although the array was old, it hadn't been damaged. So, they installed crystal stones and stood on it together.
A spell was cast, and both vanished in the radiant light.
"It seems we haven't escaped that mysterious space."
Lin Xuan sighed, his expression darkening.
It seemed they had left the massive building, but everything around them remained dimly gray. Apart from scattered rocks and weeds, there was nothing else. The aura of evil was particularly strong, indicating that they were still in that mysterious space.

Just a few dozen feet away from them stood an enormous ancient tree. Lin Xuan had seen many things since entering the cultivation world, but he had never encountered such a massive tree—over a hundred zhang tall with lush branches and leaves. More bizarrely, this tree emitted a strong aura of evil.
Yue Kuo raised her head, her eyes flashing as Lin Xuan released his divine consciousness to examine the tree carefully.
"Eh?"
Lin Xuan suddenly frowned, his body emitting intense green light as he flew upwards. Yue Kuo hesitated before following him.
After climbing more than fifty zhang, Lin Xuan stopped and looked at the giant tree in silence.
On the trunk of this giant tree was a face, lifelike with every detail present—eyes, ears, nose, and mouth. What caught Lin Xuan's attention most was the forehead, which had something embedded within it.
About the size of a fist, neither made of gold nor jade, though grayish in appearance, it gave off an eerie yet beautiful aura, containing unimaginable demonic power.
Lin Xuan was greatly impressed. Although he couldn't recognize it, this clearly seemed to be a precious treasure.
"Jade Eye舍利? Could this be the legendary Jade Eye舍利?" A soft voice came from behind.
Lin Xuan turned around and saw Yue Kuo covering her mouth with her hand, her expression filled with disbelief.
"What is a Jade Eye舍利?" Lin Xuan asked calmly.
Yue Kuo's heart raced as she looked at him. She had overreacted just now. After a moment of hesitation, she didn't immediately explain.
A soft voice continued: "Brother, I've heard about the Jade Eye舍利. It is one of the ten treasures in the demon realm. With it, you can carry an upper-grade demon vein with you at all times, enhancing your cultivation whenever and wherever. It benefits both cultivators and demons greatly. I once heard my father mention it."
