Chapter 692: Mysterious Ancient Temple

The air was freezing cold and ice crystals were sparkling.

Luo Li's gaze was fixed on the sleeping woman's face. Her skin, illuminated by the ice jade, glowed with a faint blue light, like an ice lotus that never faded.

Di Xuanming tapped his fingers lightly on the ice wall beside him, making a crisp sound. His eyes were sharp, "Let's find the exit. I wonder where the others have gone."

Luo Li nodded and began to look for traces of exit in the cave.

Suddenly, the eyelids of the lifeless woman on the ice jade bed trembled slightly, as if she was about to wake up, and an inexplicable power quietly surged around her.

Luo Li and Di Xuanming's eyes immediately flashed, and they looked at the woman with a hint of fear in their eyes.

However, the woman did not wake up. Her body began to dissipate, but in an instant it turned into dots of fluorescent light, like the most delicate stars in the night sky, slowly drifting away in the cold cave.

A light and elegant fragrance filled the air, which was incompatible with the surrounding coldness and actually brought a hint of warmth.

The fluorescent light gathered into a stream, gently rotating around the cave, and finally gathered into a beam of soft light, illuminating the empty space where the woman was lying. There was only a faintly glowing ice jade pendant left there.

Luo Li detected that there was no other danger around, so she picked up the jade pendant, examined it for a few seconds, and handed it to Di Xuanming. "I don't see anything special about it."

Di Xuanming couldn't see anything special about it either. He said in a low voice, "Indeed, but did you feel it? The cold and gloomy air around us has disappeared."

Luo Li naturally felt it, and she nodded, "It seems that this female corpse is really the cause of this. Could it be that she just wants this jade pendant to appear in the world?"

"Put it away for now." Di Xuanming handed the jade pendant to Luo Li and asked her to keep it.

The two discussed for a while but still had no clues, so they simply started looking for an exit.

The place they came in was blocked, so they had to find another way out.

Just as the two were concentrating on finding the exit, the cave suddenly began to vibrate violently, and ice jade stones rolled down. Di Xuanming immediately released his soul power, "This place is going to collapse."

The vibrations in the cave became more and more violent, as if the entire space was shaking. Small pieces of gravel fell from the stone walls, raising a cloud of dust.

Luo Li frowned slightly, "Let's go to the Tower of Gods first. This place is too weird."

Emperor Xuanming's soul power was also restricted here, so he could only nod and say, "Okay."

Luo Li's eyes inadvertently swept across the corner, looking at the broken jade pendants scattered next to the dry bones, and she closed her palm and held them in her hand.

Her fingertips lightly touched the broken jade pendants. The jade was warm, yet had a slight chill to it.

Her heart moved, and a complex totem flickered faintly on the jade pendant, which seemed to echo the pattern on the jade pendant that fell from the woman's body.

Di Xuanming held her arm tightly. Seeing her lost in thought, he asked worriedly, "What's wrong?"

"It's okay." Luo Li shook her head and was about to take Di Xuanming to hide in the Tower of Gods temporarily, but the ice jade not far in front of her suddenly cracked and a door suddenly appeared.

Luo Li immediately changed her mind and looked at Di Xuanming. It was obvious that they were thinking the same thing.

Gravel fell like rain. Luo Li pulled Di Xuanming and jumped lightly, quickly entering the stone door that suddenly appeared.

The moment the door closed, the noise inside the cave was cut off.

Qin Chuan and others shouted from behind. The two looked at each other with a hint of confusion in their eyes. What was going on?

The two turned around and found that this was the ancient temple, but the cold aura had completely dissipated, leaving only a dilapidated ancient temple.

The two of them immediately walked out. As soon as they walked out of the ancient temple, Qin Chuan and others' eyes lit up and they immediately strode up the stairs, "You finally came out!"

Luo Li's eyes were a little complicated, "You have been here all the time?"

"Yes." Feng Jiusi breathed a sigh of relief. "You told the God that you wanted to go in and take a look, but you were gone for more than half an hour. We were just about to go in to look for you when you came out."

Luo Li frowned, "When did we say we were going in? We were forcibly pulled in by the power here."

"How could it be..." Qin Chuan asked doubtfully, "I remember that you two said you wanted to go in and take a look, and asked us to wait outside."

Luo Li's expression changed slightly. She looked at the others, only to see that they also looked confused. "We also remember it like this..."

The sunlight slanted down on the mottled stone steps of the ancient temple, stretching the shadows of several people out long, as if their thoughts were also stretched out.

Luo Li bit her lower lip lightly, her eyes once again sweeping across the seemingly calm gate of the ancient temple. There seemed to be a few barely perceptible rays of light lingering in the crack of the door, faintly revealing an irresistible majesty that made people feel chilled.

Emperor Xuanming immediately decided, "We can't stay here any longer, let's go."

Everyone felt a chill running down their spines and nodded immediately, "Okay, okay, this place is really weird!"

A cold wind blew by, causing the dead branches and leaves to rustle.

Everyone's hair was blown a little messy, and they subconsciously tightened their collars, with a bit of uneasiness in their eyes.

They strode across the ancient temple and headed towards the other area that Di Xuanming had just seen in the air.

They used their soul power to advance at full speed and left the area in just one day.

Under the moonlight, they stepped into a quiet bamboo forest. The bamboo leaves swayed gently, as if whispering.

The silvery moonlight added a touch of mystery to the night. The path under my feet was paved with thick bamboo leaves, which were soft to the touch and I could occasionally hear a slight rustling sound.

The air is filled with a faint bamboo fragrance, which makes people feel a little at ease.

Luo Li confirmed that there was no danger around, then raised her hand and said, "Rest where you are."

Feng Jiusi breathed a sigh of relief. "It should be alright now, right? What kind of place is that? It's really weird."

Qin Chuan shook his head, "We haven't even figured out which continent that area belongs to."

Jing Wanshu said confidently, "I often travel around the continent. That area at least doesn't belong to the Ten Thousand Beasts."

Yu Xuanning pressed his forehead and said, "That belongs to the gods. There is no aura of the dark world in that area."

Luo Li thought about the complete jade pendant and the fragment of jade pendant placed in an empty space ring, and her mind drifted away.

Emperor Xuanming also noticed her distraction and immediately said, "Rest here for one night and continue on tomorrow."

Everyone's minds had been tense all day, and now that they were relaxed, they felt a little tired. They nodded, "Okay."

The night is as dark as ink, dotted with stars, and the moonlight gently sprinkles on the open space between the bamboo forests.

Everyone sat around the campfire, the flames dancing and illuminating their tired yet relaxed faces.

Luo Li lowered her head, gently stroking the space ring with her fingers, her eyes complicated.

Firelight danced in her eyes as she said to Di Xuanming, "I'll go check on the jade pendant."
