At the age of one hundred, I inquired about the Dao, awakening the supreme spiritual root that shatt

Even if an ordinary cultivator possesses a strong divine sense, they lack sufficient patience and attention to detail, making it impossible for them to detect the ever-changing flaws in the restriction.

Ling Xiu's divine sense was honed through arduous cultivation of the "True Secret of Longevity" and further refined over many years using the Qiankun Mystic Gourd.

Its strength far exceeds that of ordinary cultivators by more than a hundred times, and it can precisely control the divine sense, without missing any subtle clues.

His ability to detect and capture with his divine sense had already reached a terrifying level.

Time passed slowly, and fine beads of sweat appeared on Ling Xiu's forehead as he focused his mind and concentrated his attention.

"Found it!"

brush!

Within this distorted space, Ling Xiu instantly locked onto a spatial connection rift.

He saw through the ever-changing spatial trajectory, which was essentially nothing more than a cycle of compression, expansion, and connection.

Ling Xiu suddenly opened his eyes, and a sharp fingertip burst forth.

The condensed fingertip beam, imbued with profound longevity essence, possessed a chilling power and precisely pierced the crack.

The entire rotating and twisting restricted space was suddenly subjected to a tremendous impact, and the originally tangled and chaotic array patterns instantly collapsed.

The halo of light flowing at the node quickly dimmed and dissipated.

The seemingly unsolvable spatial restriction was shattered by Ling Xiu with a single finger, thanks to his extraordinary mental strength and top-notch divine sense.

"Be careful!"

Mu Yinxue suddenly cried out in surprise.

Once the third restriction is broken, the fourth Blood Feather Restriction will activate automatically.

The five elements of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth manifested in turn, transforming into swords, formations, and thunder, with various attacks coming one after another.

Ling Xiu and Mu Yinxue were prepared, and both of them simultaneously activated their innate techniques with all their might.

This time, Ling Xiu held nothing back, revealing all his trump cards.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

In front of the Xuan Tie Palace, two powerful forces collided violently, joining forces to resist the final layer of restrictions.

The Great Evolution Sword Net Illusion Killing Technique, the Thunderclap Sword Technique, the Azure Thunder Profound Spirit Technique, the Fiery Palm...

Ling Xiu narrowly escaped death several times, and was almost severely injured by the Five Elements attack.

Fortunately, the power of the restriction's origin is constantly diminishing as it is continuously consumed.

The two managed to hold out until the barrier was exhausted. Although they were both injured, fortunately neither of them suffered any serious damage to their vital organs or foundations.

Rumble!

The heavy iron gate trembled and roared, and all four killing restrictions shattered and dissipated.

The moment the palace doors opened, a vast, ancient, and profound aura surged forth from within.

"Walk!"

Mu Yinxue let out a low shout, a hint of joy flashing in her eyes, and took the lead in leaping into the ancient hall.

Ling Xiu hesitated for a moment, remaining vigilant, before following closely behind into the hall.

The interior of the ancient hall is extremely spacious, clearly created using ancient spatial expansion techniques, but the hall looks exceptionally empty.

Only a few dilapidated wooden frames remained, long since rotted and fallen apart under the erosion of time, with countless jade slips and ancient books scattered all over the ground.

The various furnishings in the hall were all dilapidated and damaged, which made it easy to see that a fierce battle had taken place here in the past.

It is obvious that the group of powerful individuals who were the first to enter this ancient palace had already been here.

"Someone beat them to it; could it be that the core inheritance has already been taken?"

Mu Yinxue's expression was cold and aloof, filled with resentment. Even though she had been mentally prepared, she could not hide her disappointment.

She surveyed her surroundings, spreading her divine sense to sweep across the entire hall.

He raised his hand and summoned a surge of magical power, sweeping all the scattered jade slips and books on the ground into his own Qiankun bag.

Ling Xiu did not hesitate, and used his spiritual power to roll up several jade slips and hold them in his hand.

At the same time, he unleashed his divine sense to meticulously examine every corner of the hall.

Before long, he noticed something unusual in the cracks in the wall next to the rotten wooden shelf in the back row.

Hidden in the crevice was a dusty, dark jade slip, its surface surrounded by a faint, strange halo, indicating its unique material.

If his divine sense were not far beyond that of ordinary people, such a hidden and faint spiritual light would be extremely difficult to detect.

Ling Xiu slowly walked towards the gap. At that moment, Mu Yinxue was looking down at the jade slip in her hand, completely unaware of his actions.

brush!

Ling Xiu quietly channeled his spiritual power, silently rolling the ancient black jade slip into his sleeve.

The movement was so fast that Mu Yinxue didn't notice it at all.

The two men looted all the valuable jade slips in the hall.

Mu Yinxue's face was gloomy, clearly dissatisfied with this outcome.

"It seems we are too late. Our predecessors have already plundered this place, and what remains are mostly useless low-level books."

After Mu Yinxue finished speaking, she turned to look at Ling Xiu with a cold expression.

"These jade slips will be divided among you in thirty percent as previously agreed. You can choose whichever you like."

Ling Xiu didn't stand on ceremony, nodded slightly, and casually picked out a batch to put into his Qiankun bag.

"Thank you, fellow Daoist."

He was secretly on guard, but he never expected that this female cultivator from the Divine Demon Sect would actually keep her promise.

Even so, Ling Xiu did not relax his guard in the slightest, and his vigilance remained undiminished.

Mu Yinxue suddenly asked.

"This cooperation went smoothly, and I trust you quite a bit. However, I still don't know your name, fellow Daoist. May I ask?"

Ling Xiu's eyes flickered slightly, and he answered calmly.

"My name is Li Xiuyuan. I have been traveling around small towns for many years and am just a rogue cultivator."

"Li Xiuyuan?"

Mu Yinxue looked Ling Xiu up and down, silently reciting the name in her heart, a faint smile appearing beneath her veil.

"Nice name, I'll remember it. If we happen to meet again someday, we can team up to search for treasure."

As soon as she finished speaking, she didn't linger any longer. She transformed into a streak of green light and left the ancient palace.

She had no intention of snatching anything, nor did she cause Ling Xiu any trouble.

Ling Xiu stood there, slightly taken aback.

Everyone says that demonic cultivators are extremely vicious, but this person acted so decisively and efficiently. Just now, he was even prepared to confront him.

"No matter what, this person kept his word this time, but he is cunning and not someone to be trifled with."

These jade slips must not be of much value to her. If she had found a top-tier treasure, the ending would certainly not have been so peaceful.

Ling Xiu thought to himself, and then carefully searched the entire hall again.

Only after confirming that no further opportunities had been missed did they set off to leave.

He used the Hidden Soul Earth Escape technique and fled towards the exit of the secret realm.

This place is fraught with danger; no one can say for sure what kind of peril they might encounter next.

Ling Xiu was never greedy or demanding. Most cultivators in the secret realm were ruthless and cunning, so the sooner he got out, the safer he would be.

During this trip to the secret realm, he has already obtained the Immortal Spirit Rain Pool, the Thousand-Year Fire Yang Spirit Fruit, as well as a number of ordinary jade slips and that special black jade slip, and his harvest is already quite abundant.

If we continue to vie for opportunities, we will only get caught up in even greater conflicts and troubles.

Ling Xiu activated his escape technique, intending to leave this place of trouble for good.

Suddenly, a deafening roar that shook the heavens and the earth resounded from the deepest part of the secret realm.

Above the distant mountain peaks, space suddenly shattered.

A dazzling pillar of light shot into the sky, surrounded by a purple-gold radiance, piercing straight into the clouds, its surface swirling with countless mysterious runes.

Wisps of ethereal and obscure celestial music drifted from the void, while the purple-gold divine light carried an unparalleled sacred aura.

Immediately afterwards, a white jade staircase slowly appeared from the void.

Ling Xiu was shocked and filled with horror.

"What is that?"

The white jade steps stretched upwards, disappearing into layers of clouds.

A magnificent and vast white jade palace appeared in the sky tens of thousands of meters above the ground.
