The invisible barrier, this kind of intangible protection, cannot be provided by her illusory eye alone.

Although her Illusionary Eyes can see through all illusions, things like invisible barriers are not within the scope of what her Illusionary Eyes can see.

Having the Eye of Illusion also has an advantage: although she cannot see the invisible barrier, she can roughly sense where the barrier is, thus enabling her to take the next step.

Once she knows the approximate location of the invisible barrier, dealing with it will be a piece of cake for her, given her status as a card maker.

After roughly determining the central location of the invisible barrier, and relying on powerful mental strength and the card maker's abilities, the exact location of the invisible barrier was calculated. Then, using the barrier-breaking card, the card landed precisely at the center point of the invisible barrier.

As the Boundary-Breaking Card was thrown forward, it suddenly stopped about ten meters away from her, resisting an invisible force. However, not long after, the invisible energy was broken and the invisible barrier dissipated.

Shen Jue also found what she was looking for.

Beneath the invisible barrier, the humanoid stone sculpture is hidden within a small array composed of six gems.

There was only one way for her to obtain the human-shaped stone sculpture: to break this small array.

So here's the problem: before breaking the formation, she needs to confirm whether the human-shaped stone sculpture is real. If it's fake, wouldn't she be asking for trouble by trying to break the formation?

Shen Jue carefully checked and found that there were indeed marks left by Xiao Ka on the human-shaped stone sculpture, so it seemed that the human-shaped stone sculpture was real.

Although she didn't understand why the human-shaped stone sculpture arrived here immediately even though it had fallen with them.

The only positive thing right now is that we've found the human-shaped stone sculpture, which means we're not far from finding the real August.

She didn't know how to break the formation, but she could use her calculation abilities to unravel this small formation bit by bit.

This is a good opportunity to practice her calculation skills.

At the beginning of the calculation, Shen Jue followed the direction of the calculation ability step by step. Over time, he was able to figure out some of the tricks of the gem array. Based on the hints given by the calculation ability, he could apply what he learned to other situations and solve the small arrays step by step. Finally, he obtained the human-shaped stone sculpture without any damage.

Once the human-shaped stone sculpture was in hand, the valley lost its value for exploration.

She needs to investigate the connection between this humanoid stone sculpture and the fragment of the story she saw.

Moreover, she triggered a hidden storyline before, and it's interesting to see what that hidden storyline will bring her.

However, this place is prone to danger, so let's find a secluded spot to watch.

After leaving the valley, Shen Jue headed southeast. In the fragments of the story, the real August, the thorny land where she was trapped, was roughly in the southeast. As long as she went in that direction, she could find the result she wanted.

However, before heading to the thorny lands to the southeast, Shen Jue found a dry, uninhabited cave and set up protective barriers.

Shen Jue: [Watch the triggered hidden storyline.]

The hidden storyline you've triggered is still one node away from being completed.

Node 1: The human-shaped stone sculpture has been found. This is now complete.

Node 2: Determine the direction of the Thorn Land. Completed.

Node 3: Deciphering the guiding ability of the humanoid stone sculpture; incomplete.
