Although it was also their first time here, Li Sisui and Leng Rushuang were noticeably calm, strolling leisurely. However, the three of them had only taken a few steps in the courtyard when they were startled to stop in their tracks by Li Sisui's sudden shout:
"Don't move! There's a trap ahead!"
From the moment he entered, Li Sisui unleashed his divine sense without reservation. After all, this was a place where a sage had once stayed, and he could not afford to be careless. He dared not be arrogant and went all out. Under the scan of his divine sense, he quickly discovered the anomaly ahead.
At the exit of the courtyard, there was a hidden array, like a transparent spider web, covering the exit. If it weren't for Li Sisui's keen senses, the naked eye would not have been able to see anything unusual. When Leng Rushuang and Feng Teng Daoren arrived, they glanced at the courtyard and walked straight through the exit. If it weren't for Li Sisui's reminder, they would probably have been cut into countless pieces by the dense spiritual energy of the array!
At Li Sisui's timely reminder, the two hurriedly retreated until they were beside Li Sisui, at which point they stopped. Feng Teng Daoren, still shaken, said:
"This place is indeed extremely dangerous. Who would have thought that there would be such a hidden killing formation at the exit? However, the divine sense is suppressed so severely here that it is impossible to activate it or investigate in such detail. What should we do? Are we just going to sit and wait?"
Li Sisui's heart skipped a beat. He had only been able to scan it with his divine sense just now, but judging from Guang Bai's words, divine sense didn't seem to work here. So why could his divine sense pass through unimpeded? But now was not the time to get to the bottom of it. In the end, Li Sisui could only attribute the special nature of his divine sense to the cultivation technique in the booklet...
"It seems this path is blocked, and we'll have to take a detour. I just took a closer look, and the great formation in front of us is actually made up of countless spatial rifts. This place is much more dangerous than we imagined, so everyone should be careful!"
Leng Rushuang's expression was solemn, and she spoke earnestly. Clearly, this invisible array formed by spatial rifts was far beyond her expectations, which made her extremely cautious!
Seeing this, Feng Teng Daoren quickly composed himself, his excitement subsiding, and cautiously surveyed his surroundings.
"It seems that the route we took this time is different from the ones Qingdai and the others have taken before. The experience she imparted is therefore meaningless. We can only rely on ourselves from now on. We've gone to so much trouble, but we don't even know what treasures are hidden inside. Could it be that the sage had no intention of passing on his mantle?"
Li Si casually remarked, but Leng Rushuang took it to heart. A thought struck her, and she hesitated slightly before replying:
"If the goal is to select the most suitable successor, a swift test should be set up. This kind of fissure formation that kills upon contact seems to have no purpose in selecting a successor..."
With this path blocked, the three had to find another way. Fortunately, Li Sisui's divine sense was unrestricted, and he quickly found another path. However, this path was different from the open road they had just crossed. Instead, it was a secluded path with small, unidentified pebbles underfoot and unknown plants growing freely on both sides, exuding a rich and fragrant aroma.
Having learned from their previous experience, the three of them were more cautious this time. They moved carefully along the way, only taking a small step after confirming several times. After Li Sisui and Leng Rushuang confirmed their steps, the three of them slowly moved forward. It took them most of the day to finally cross the dark path!
To the three's surprise, the path they had walked on was completely free of traps and mechanisms. The sudden depletion of their spiritual energy left them somewhat bewildered and amused. From then on, they would proceed with peace of mind as long as Li Sisui confirmed the route was correct.
And so, they passed through a dark path and then through a long, dark tunnel where you couldn't see your hand in front of your face. The road surface was uneven and slowly extended into the depths of the ground. But having come this far without any results, the three of them had no reason to turn back. So they decided to go all the way and see it through to the end!
Because of the divine sense scanning and probing, Li Sixui consumed a lot of his divine sense. He even had to stop to rest and recover. Later, he even had the idea of going to the Mountain Ring to pick a few mysterious fruits. He did not expect that although there was no restriction on his divine sense here, the consumption rate was so fast!
However, this wasn't the first time he'd thought of those mysterious fruits. Ever since he absorbed one and his divine sense surged, he'd checked on them every few days. Unsurprisingly, the remaining mysterious fruits were all untouchable, clearly not ripe enough to be harvested...
During the rest, Qingdai's voice came from the jade pendant in her bosom. She observed from the outside that the Sage's Mansion had begun to rise slowly, which was a sign that the Sage's Mansion was about to leave. The short duration of this stay exceeded all expectations. However, because the speed of ascent was very slow, it did not disappear without a trace in the blink of an eye as she had seen before. As for when to leave, the three of them would have to decide!
Although the three of them traveled smoothly without any obstacles, they gained nothing. Not to mention the Feng Teng Dao Ren who was full of expectations, even the other two, who had no desires before entering the mansion, were very annoyed. How could this be? The Saint Hill boasted so much outside, but in the end, they just visited the place.
Absolutely not!
After Qingdai confirmed repeatedly, the Saint's Mansion was ascending very slowly this time and there was no risk of it disappearing for the time being. The three of them should still have time to go deeper, but they should still be prepared to evacuate at any time. The anomaly that occurred in the Saint's Mansion this time was really rare, and no one could be sure what would happen next!
Due to time constraints, Li Sisui had no choice but to shorten his recovery time. He swallowed all the cultivation pills he had accumulated, determined to see what kind of earth-shattering treasure was hidden at the end of this passage!
