Mortal: I became invincible after becoming sworn brothers with Han Li.

Li Yunfan and the other ten disciples from the three sects were curiously observing their surroundings.

Looking at the desolate, misty, and damp pile of stones around them, the other nine people all wore expressions of disbelief. After all, this place didn't look like a treasure land with a Spirit Eye Tree at all.

"Listen up, this place is a forbidden area for the three factions. It is heavily fortified. Once inside, you must stay with us and are absolutely not allowed to wander around. Otherwise, you will bear all the consequences!" A bald, burly man who had come with Baiqiaoyuan immediately warned in a cold voice when he saw Li Yunfan and his group of ten constantly turning their heads and looking around.

Upon hearing the big man's words, Li Yunfan and the other ten immediately stopped their curiosity, said "yes," and stood quietly in place.

"Remember, after washing your eyes with the spiritual water, you must immediately sit in meditation and regulate your breathing, using spiritual energy to nourish your eyes. Only in this way can you maximize the effect of the spiritual water!" Elder Li of the Luoyun Sect suddenly reminded him.

The other two Core Formation elders glanced at Elder Li with some surprise, and then the righteous-looking middle-aged Core Formation elder from the Ancient Sword Sect said with a smile.

"Elder Li really takes good care of these younger generations, even personally reminding them of such a small matter."

"The spiritual water eye-washing can only be done once, so naturally we need to tell them the precautions," Elder Li said with a slight smile, as if it were the most natural thing in the world.

Li Yunfan glanced at Elder Li in front of him. When the elder was speaking, he clearly glanced at him, which made Li Yunfan feel a little puzzled.

Could it be that the other person deliberately spoke loudly to remind me?

After thinking about it for a moment, he smiled to himself and stopped worrying about it.

Just then, the thick fog around them suddenly began to churn, and then the fog in front of them vanished abruptly, revealing a moss-covered stone wall not far away.

"Is everyone here?"

A man's voice came from inside the moss-covered stone wall, followed by a blurry, water-like surface on the wall, which then burst forth with a dazzling green light that was impossible to look at directly.

A moment later, when Li Yunfan and the others came to their senses and looked ahead again, they were astonished to find that the moss-covered stone wall had disappeared, replaced by a huge stone door with two tightly closed doors.

The stone gate was covered with countless incantations, flashing in various colors, clearly indicating the presence of many powerful restrictions. Outside the gate, there were several layers of hazy yellow light curtains, enveloping the stone gate.

Before the stone gate stood a stern-faced, middle-aged cultivator with a small mustache.

After hearing the Ancient Sword Sect's affirmative answer that the cultivator had reached the Core Formation stage, the middle-aged cultivator nodded and took out a yellow token.

"Now that everyone is here, I will open a gap in the formation. However, the restrictions here were jointly set up by my three Nascent Soul stage senior uncles, so I can only open it for a short while. You must hurry and enter."

After he finished speaking, his expression turned solemn, and he muttered something under his breath.

Suddenly, the token emitted a bright yellow light, and a yellow glow swept out and engulfed the light barrier. Wherever it went, the light barrier melted and disappeared, revealing a passage several feet in size.

"Walk!"

The Core Formation Elder of the Ancient Sword Sect shouted loudly, then transformed into a golden light and shot inside.

Elder Li and the bald, burly man from Baiqiaoyuan gave the same command and then followed closely behind, rushing into the area.

Seeing this, Li Yunfan and the other ten dared not linger and followed him inside on their magical artifacts.

As soon as the group flew to the stone gate, the token in the middle-aged cultivator's hand emitted a burst of light, and the passage behind them vanished without a trace.

He then put away the token, faced the stone gate, formed complex hand seals with his hands, and then suddenly raised them, sending out two beams of red and yellow light that shot into the stone gate, which was covered with restrictions.

With a humming sound, the previously tightly closed giant door slowly opened, revealing a long, rectangular passageway inside.

Let's go!

The middle-aged cultivator gave a greeting and strode inside.

The three Core Formation cultivators exchanged glances and followed the middle-aged cultivator into the passage.

Li Yunfan and the other ten people naturally followed closely behind the three elders.

Before long, led by the middle-aged cultivator, the group arrived at a huge stone hall, fifty or sixty feet wide, at the end of the passage.

The middle-aged cultivator, however, did not stop and continued to lead the group into another corridor connecting to the stone hall. After turning a corner in the corridor, they came to another small stone hall, which was more than ten feet in size.

Inside, there was a pale yellow stone door, and two figures sat cross-legged in front of it, motionless.

One of them had disheveled hair, obscuring his face, but his hair was completely gray, indicating that he was quite old.

The other person was dressed in a yellow robe and wore a crown, and looked very young.

"Senior Brother Zhou!"

"Senior Brother Wei!"

The Core Formation cultivator from the Ancient Sword Sect and Elder Li immediately bowed respectfully to the two people in front of them and addressed them as Senior Brother.

Upon hearing Elder Li's address to the person with disheveled hair, Li Yunfan's eyes narrowed slightly, and he couldn't help but take another look, thinking to himself.

"Is he the 'Senior Brother Wei' who infiltrated the Falling Cloud Sect through the demonic path? I didn't expect him to be under house arrest here now..."

The two opened their eyes, glanced at the crowd that had arrived, then nodded to the Core Formation cultivator of the Ancient Sword Sect and Elder Li, before standing up from the ground.

"Brother Wei, now that the disciples of the Sword Testing Tournament have arrived, let's begin preparing the spiritual water to wash our eyes!" The yellow-robed cultivator said to the disheveled cultivator, his words subtly conveying respect.

"good!"

The man with disheveled hair simply replied with a single word, then turned and cast a spell that struck the yellow stone gate, instantly splitting it in two without a sound.

The moment the stone door opened, everyone felt an extremely pure spiritual energy rushing towards them from inside.

Led by Senior Brother Wei, the group entered the door and discovered that it was actually a huge stalactite cave.

The entire cave is hundreds of feet long and wide, and twenty or thirty feet high. Countless stalactites of different sizes grow on the ground, making it feel like being in a stone forest.

The group followed Senior Brother Wei to the edge of the stone forest, where he flipped his hand and revealed a palm-sized white ancient mirror.

As he chanted a spell, the white mirror gradually emitted a white spiritual light. Then, with a wave of his hand, a beam of white light shot out from the mirror, directly towards the stone forest in front of him.

With a "whoosh," the beam of light disappeared into the stone forest as if it had vanished into the sea.

A moment later, everyone suddenly felt the ground begin to tremble. Then, the stone pillars of all sizes simultaneously emitted a milky white glow, followed by a large yellow light rising from the forest. The stone pillars then began to move in a dazzling manner right before everyone's eyes.

After the shaking stopped, Li Yunfan and the other lower-level disciples were surprised to find that a straight path had actually opened up in the stone forest.

Following this path, the group easily reached the center of the stone forest and finally saw the legendary Spirit Eye Tree.

However, the appearance of this object is hardly reminiscent of that famous treasure, as it looks no different from a blue stone pillar.

However, judging from the astonishing spiritual energy it exudes, this thing is undoubtedly the Tree of Spiritual Eyes. Moreover, there is a layer of pale golden light covering it completely from top to bottom.

Ignoring the fervent and questioning gazes of the crowd, Senior Brother Wei strode forward, passing through the pale golden light barrier as if it were invisible, and picked up a jade bottle placed under the bluestone pillar.

"Please wait here for a moment, I will start preparing the Mingqing Spirit Water." Senior Brother Wei turned his head and said to everyone in a deep voice.

"We'll do as Brother Wei says!" The yellow-robed cultivator nodded, and the others had no further objections.
