Time passed, and several hours later, the Azure Mist Saint slowly rose: "I have fully recovered. How are you all? Are you ready?"
Upon hearing Qinglan Saint's words, Jerry and the others opened their eyes.
"I'm ready."
"Me too, I've almost recovered."
“Me too, but I feel like the level of mental pollution here is even higher than the fog outside. If I stay here any longer, I feel like I won’t be able to hold on much longer,” Gina said.
At this moment, the wilderness was almost shrouded in mist, with visibility less than 100 meters.
Even in this desolate wilderness shrouded in mist, the golden halo was still faintly visible.
Saint Qinglan nodded and said, "Then let's get started."
An Lan put away the various instruments, then smiled and said, "I hope the next operation goes smoothly and we can leave this space."
The others also nodded with serious expressions.
Everyone lined up in formation, with Lu Ning leading the way as always, followed by Qinglan Saint Hall, with Jerry, Steve, and Yang Yin on either side, and An Lan protected in the middle.
Everyone tensed up, watching the surrounding white mist with vigilance.
They were all worried that monsters might appear in the white mist, just as they had in the wilderness and the underworld before.
However, even as they walked a long way and got closer to the golden circle of light, they still did not encounter any monsters attacking them.
This left the group somewhat bewildered.
Jerry couldn't help but say, "...Why does it feel safer here than before?"
The others nodded in agreement.
The Azure Mist Saint whispered, "Don't let your guard down!"
The others, though somewhat surprised and uncertain, also remained serious.
They didn't say anything more after hearing the rebuke from the Saint Qinglan.
Just then, Lu Ning, who was in front, suddenly stopped.
When the people behind him saw Lu Ning stop, their hearts tightened and their spiritual energy began to flow.
Everyone looked in front of Lu Ning, but they didn't see any monster.
An Lan asked, somewhat puzzled, "Lu Ning, what's wrong?"
Lu Ning reached out and pressed his hand into the air, but it felt as if he had pressed against a wall.
He calmly said, "There's no road ahead."
Upon hearing this, everyone was taken aback and somewhat astonished.
"No way out?" An Lan stepped forward and touched it, feeling as if she had touched an invisible wall in the air.
His expression changed slightly: "Could this also be a spatial barrier? The same as the one in the sky?"
The others immediately frowned.
"What should we do then?" Steve asked.
He could even see the golden halo in front of him!
Not only Steve, but Lu Ning could also see the aperture in front of him.
A golden halo floated in the air, surrounded by thick white mist. The inside of the halo also seemed to be filled with white mist, creating a fog-like atmosphere.
"Let's see if there are any entrances or exits nearby?" Gina suggested.
No one else had any objections.
The group groped their way along the invisible wall nearby.
However, after groping around for several kilometers, even exploring the sky, they still couldn't find a gap in the invisible wall.
Just as everyone stopped to rest, looking somewhat troubled, An Lan stared intently at the golden halo and suddenly asked, "Have you noticed something?"
Everyone looked at An Lan with confusion.
"Old An, what's the problem?"
An Lan slowly said, "We have clearly walked so far along the invisible wall, but this golden halo seems to have always been not far in front of us, and its relative position to us seems to have not changed much."
Everyone was taken aback, then realized that it seemed to be true.
"Why is this?" Saint Qinglan frowned slightly, looking at the golden halo with some confusion.
An Lan touched the golden halo through the invisible wall, a thoughtful expression on her face.
“I’m not entirely sure either, but the formation of this space we’re in might be closely related to that golden halo. No matter how we move, our relative position to the golden halo remains unchanged… It’s as if that golden halo is the core of this space, and we’ve been moving around it.”
Jerry's eyes lit up, and he immediately said, "Then as long as we can reach the core area, can we leave?"
An Lan did not give a definite answer, but only said, "It's possible."
Just then, Lu Ning, who had been observing his surroundings, suddenly spoke up: "Let's go this way."
He walked away from the golden sphere.
Everyone else was taken aback when they saw the direction Lu Ning was walking in.
"Lu Ning, have you taken the wrong road? This seems to be heading towards the Yellow Springs?" Yang Yin asked, frowning.
Others were also somewhat confused.
An Lan seemed to understand something and said, "You see something wrong with the mental pollution here?"
Lu Ning nodded slightly and said, "The level of mental pollution here... is a bit unstable, sometimes high and sometimes low."
Upon hearing this, An Lan's eyes lit up: "Perhaps it's a gap in this space, or perhaps it's because of the different spaces that the level of mental pollution is unstable."
Upon hearing this, everyone's eyes lit up.
They all followed Lu Ning and continued forward.
This time, Lu Ning didn't go far, only a few hundred meters away, when he suddenly used the Crimson Sword to swing at the empty air.
The next moment, something seemed to shatter in the air, and the air began to fluctuate.
Gradually, cracks appeared in the air and spread outwards.
