"Don’t open your eyes."
Xiao Yinruo emphasized, then directly headed forward in a chosen direction.
The Dead Tide couldn’t possibly cover all places, as there was also a large Spirit Gathering Array here. Since it collected spiritual energy, certain areas mustn’t be eroded by the Dead Tide.
Lu Jin’an kept his eyes tightly shut, not knowing where he had reached or which direction to discern, but could clearly feel the sweat seeping from Xiao Yinruo’s palm.
At this moment, Xiao Yinruo wasn’t relaxed either.
"Nine Luminaries in order, Primordial Wandering, Huajing Yingming, Yuan Ling Opens, Endless Flowing, bring forth my brilliance!"
A majestic, clear voice of Xiao Yinruo reached his ears. The next second, Lu Jin’an felt as if the world was collapsing around him. Even with his eyes closed tightly, he seemed to see endless radiance falling from the heavens, sweeping through the eight directions.
’Heavenly Testing Technique.’
Lu Jin’an thought silently, not knowing how much time passed before Xiao Yinruo beside him stopped.
He opened his eyes, immediately looking at Xiao Yinruo next to him.
Xiao Yinruo’s aura remained as ethereal and aloof as ever, but the tassel holding her long hair was long gone, her ink-black hair scattered messily, and a faint, unusual flush appeared on her face.
"It’s fine." Xiao Yinruo pinched a spell with her right hand, suppressing the turbulent spiritual power within her body, then looked ahead, the seriousness in her eyes dispelling slightly: "This is one of the array eyes of the Spirit Gathering Array, inside the mountain. The spiritual energy here is much denser than outside."
Lu Jin’an glanced back, seeing only rocky cliffs, not forests.
Apparently, a certain array existed on the cliff, and Xiao Yinruo had broken through this array to enter here.
Her spiritual energy had been significantly depleted.
"Do you have any Spirit Crystals on you?" Xiao Yinruo asked softly.
Lu Jin’an hurriedly moved his hoarded wealth from the storage space, which amounted to about two billion over all these years.
And just as these Spirit Crystals emerged from the storage space, Xiao Yinruo directly absorbed the spiritual energy from them, like a dragon drinking water, to replenish the spiritual power she had lost. Follow current novels on NovєlFіre.net
"Though the spiritual energy here is dense, it can’t be used." Xiao Yinruo said blandly: "It has already merged with the Five Desires and Six Dusts, and since these Five Desires and Six Dusts originated from the Buddha, they can’t be used even more so.
Also, don’t leave my Dao Domain, the air outside is poisonous, it will invade your seven orifices, and you won’t withstand it."
"Hmm." Lu Jin’an nodded obediently, understanding that Xiao Yinruo was purifying the Five Desires and Six Dusts from the outside world through the Forget Love Dao Domain before allowing it into the Dao Domain.
Lu Jin’an gripped Xiao Yinruo’s hand tightly, knowing she had to expand her Dao Domain to protect him. If it were only herself, the impact on an Immortal body would be minimal.
"There is also gravity here." Xiao Yinruo looked at him, her voice still calm: "It affects me as well."
Lu Jin’an didn’t believe it, but he didn’t refute it either.
Because the thin strands of spiritual power between their wrists subtly ’bound’ his body.
Xiao Yinruo was afraid he’d break an arm by himself.
Lu Jin’an looked at the dim surroundings, suppressing certain agitation in his heart, and asked softly: "Aunt Ruo, don’t you have Spirit Crystals?"
"Used up." Xiao Yinruo didn’t elaborate. After all, she had spent fifteen billion Spirit Crystals on his Crossing Tribulation, and if she said this, the child would undoubtedly feel more pressured.
She stepped forward and continued: "We’re now considered to be within the ’Life Gate’, and we’re more than halfway to success."
Listening to Xiao Yinruo’s voice, Lu Jin’an knew they were now inside one of the ’root systems’ of the Green Lotus Secret Realm’s ’seed’. Finding the source and disrupting it indeed offered a chance to escape directly.
However, Xiao Yinruo’s comfort did not relax Lu Jin’an. The Green Lotus Secret Realm was the Sumeru Mountain’s back garden; breaking into this secret realm would not be an easy task.
He followed Xiao Yinruo’s steps, gradually seeing the light ahead in the dark, and Xiao Yinruo did not halt, leading Lu Jin’an toward the light.
In the silent crossing, Xiao Yinruo pinched a spell with one hand, and a twin-petaled ice-blue lotus flower bloomed from her fingertips, illuminating the darkness.
Lu Jin’an was about to speak when Xiao Yinruo suddenly changed direction, heading straight for the stone wall ahead.
Lu Jin’an followed, closing his mouth without asking further.
At this moment, Xiao Yinruo pulled him into her embrace again, taking a step forward that led them through the stone wall directly.
As the world whirled around, Lu Jin’an instinctively wanted to wrap his left hand around Xiao Yinruo’s waist, but he suppressed the tension, tightening his left hand without overstepping.
Xiao Yinruo patted his back, calmly looking ahead.
Returning to her side, Lu Jin’an glanced at the twin-petaled lotus flower in mid-air ahead, its brilliance shining brightly, as if dispelling something.
A spell used by the Qingmiao Palace to suppress corruption through the Forget Love Dao Domain, depriving ominous emotions.
The lotus flower’s strong light indicated numerous ominous presences here.
A clean place of the Buddhist Sect, where did so many ominous presences come from?
Unfortunately, within Xiao Yinruo’s Forget Love Dao Domain, he still couldn’t see anything.
He turned to look at Xiao Yinruo, noticing some hesitation on her face, and couldn’t help but ask: "Aunt Ruo, what’s ahead?"
Xiao Yinruo sighed lightly in her heart, waving her right hand before his eyes. Lu Jin’an then saw a towering and grand archway erected several kilometers ahead.
The arch was devoid of excessive carvings but exuded an ancient and desolate aura.
