After the individuals awoke, the various factions harmoniously divided up the remaining spiritual liquid in the spirit pool.

Although the spiritual liquid here will have its spiritual power greatly reduced once it is taken out, and its effect on martial artists will also be greatly reduced.

However, for many forces, it can be used for research.

If some alchemists can concoct the corresponding ingredients, it can be said that it will elevate the cultivation of future martial artists to a new level.

After discussion, for safety reasons, all those with the cultivation level of Yuanfu Realm were required to leave the inner chamber first and go to the outer perimeter of the tomb to search for some items.

After all, the mysterious skeleton of the martial artist was quite strange, and if any problems arose, it would be difficult for these Void Core Realm martial artists to guarantee that they could protect them.

Qin Xin chose to stay, despite opposition from Shui Qingxi and Xia Yue.

However, Qin Xin's decision was very firm. Seeing that he was not swayed, Shui Qingxi and Xia Yue had no choice but to give up. They figured that with Wen Lan's protection, they could escape quickly even if some danger occurred.

Furthermore, they were aware of some of Qin Xin's methods for protecting himself.

After the others left, only four people remained by the spirit pool.

Unlike the previous four, Shui Qingxi and Xia Yue have been replaced by Li Yuan and Zhou Lu.

The two women wanted to go to the location of the tomb mainly to find out about Murong Fu. As the three major families of Chiling City, they naturally did not want to watch Murong Fu obtain good things, as this would be very bad news for their two families.

In recent years, the Murong clan has been constantly clashing with the Li and Zhou clans in Chiling City, swallowing up many of the two families' businesses. If the Zhou and Li families had not seen the situation was not good and chosen to join forces, the entire Chiling City would probably be dominated by the Murong clan.

Led by Li Yuan and Zhou Lu, the four of them sped off forward.

Previously, due to the spirit pool, they had already wasted a lot of time, and now they did not know the specific situation of Nangong Haoxuan and his group. It was very likely that the good things left behind by the Old Man of Si Huo had already been taken away by the group.

Because there was no map leading to the location of the coffin in the inner chamber of the Old Man of the Fire, although martial artists had come here before, they had only discovered the spirit pool here.

Fortunately, with Nangong Haoxuan and his group leading the way, they saved some effort and directly followed the trail of the group.

"Hmm? It's blood?"

Along the way, Wen Lan noticed some bloodstains on the road, but these bloodstains were black, which seemed very strange.

Li Yuan and the others naturally noticed it as well. After squatting down to examine it, they frowned and said, "This blood must be from Hu Zhe. It seems that some changes occurred after he was bound by that white bone warrior."

Li Yuan was able to make these judgments not only based on the blood left here, but also because there were signs of a battle in the surrounding area.

It was simply a matter of one side rapidly escaping while the other relentlessly pursued.

Wen Lan and the others did not delay, but chose to move quickly, and Qin Xin also quickly converted his Yuan Power to follow.

About half a quarter of an hour later, all the surrounding buildings and pavilions disappeared, and what came into view was an open space.

In this open area, a bone tower made of white bones came into view.

The sudden appearance of the bone tower surprised the group, as it had nine floors and, normally, could be observed with the naked eye from a great distance.

However, this bone tower seemed to shield all auras, and even Qin Xin could not detect it through his spiritual sense.

Even more bizarrely, on this bone tower, blood-red patterns were slowly flowing, seemingly like a living thing. Qin Xin had never seen such a thing before, and a sense of unease rose in his heart.

"Teacher, what is this bone tower?!" Qin Xin hurriedly asked in his mind.

But at this moment, Danqing seemed to have lost all contact. No matter how Qin Xin called out, he still could not get Danqing's memory.

"Look, those are all Celestial Spirit Crystals!"

Just as Qin Xin was getting anxious, Zhou Lu pointed to the body of the bone tower with some surprise.

On the body of the bone tower, there are some scattered points of spiritual energy flashing, and each of these flashing points of light means a crystal of heavenly spirit.

This Heavenly Spirit Crystal is born of heaven and earth, condensing almost pure spiritual energy. It is a valuable item for both martial artists in the Core Formation stage and those in the Dharma Aspect stage to break through their bottlenecks.

Wen Lan's trip was precisely for this Heavenly Spirit Crystal, which she hoped would allow her to materialize her illusory core and enter the Real Core Realm.

"I feel like something's wrong with this bone tower."

Just as Zhou Lu and Li Yuan were about to fly into the bone tower to collect the Heavenly Spirit Crystals, Qin Xin stopped them and said with a frown.

Since Qin Xin stepped into the Bone Tower, he has lost contact with Danqing and has been unable to sense the mysterious fragment of the map or the Heavenly Phoenix Futon. This phenomenon is extremely strange.

"Something is definitely strange!"

Wen Lan, who hadn't made a move, was also watching the nine-story bone tower warily, muttering to herself.

"The temperature here is so high, yet the bone tower shows no signs of melting. And look at the blood-red patterns on the bone tower; don't they look like flowing blood?"

After hearing Wen Lan's words, the group felt a chill run down their spines.

Let's leave here first!

Qin Xin said softly, "Although the Heavenly Spirit Crystal is a good thing, life is more important."

It would be clearly not worth risking one's life to obtain this Heavenly Spirit Crystal.

Because around this bone tower, one can see the skeletons of many demonic beasts and human warriors. These skeletons vary in size, many have been buried in the soil, while others are exposed on the surface.

After exchanging glances, the four immediately agreed to leave. This bone tower was beyond their control. Once they left, they would inform their clan or sect elders and have them deal with it.

As the four retreated, a sudden tremor occurred, as if their retreat route had been completely blocked. Although they could see what was behind them, they were unable to take another step forward.

"This is a domain space!"

Wen Lan spoke with some fear, waving her Yuan Power in an attempt to break through the domain space.

"Buzz!"

As a ripple of energy spread, the space within this domain remained unchanged.

Upon hearing Wen Lan mention the domain space, Qin Xin felt a sense of unease. This domain space was something that only those at the Dharma Aspect Realm could possess, yet such a space existed around the Bone Tower, allowing martial artists to enter but not exit. He immediately suspected it was a conspiracy.

Furthermore, the Heavenly Spirit Crystals on those bone towers seemed to be placed intentionally, with the purpose of making people approach the bone towers and step into this domain space.

However, Qin Xin glanced at the area and found that it spanned over a hundred feet, clearly indicating that this was not something a mere Earth Profound Realm expert could accomplish.
