Chapter 1230: Space Crystal

When Zhuge Qingxuan saw this wilderness, his face instantly fell.

This scorched earth was still warm, the land burned to a charred black.

There were not many who could accomplish such a feat.

This further confirmed their earlier speculation.

The one who had volunteered to go up the mountain was most likely Ye Yuan!

At this thought, Zhuge Qingxuan felt as uncomfortable as if he had swallowed a fly.

"Ye Yuan's primal flame is the Pure Sandal Sacred Flame, and it has already given birth to a spirit. Its power is extraordinary. This place was probably caused by him!" Old Han said, casting a meaningful glance at Zhuge Qingxuan.

"I know that well enough without you telling me! Once I catch up to him, I'll tear him limb from limb!"

Zhuge Qingxuan snorted coldly and shot Old Han an unfriendly look.

Old Han just smiled slightly, unperturbed by Zhuge Qingxuan's attitude, and added, "This area forms its own space, likely carved out by a Divine Path powerhouse with great divine abilities. There are probably many good things here."

Zhuge Qingxuan's face darkened, and he ground his teeth in anger.

Ye Yuan had slipped in right under his nose and was now gaining the upper hand at every turn.

"Hmph! An ancient Divine Path sect isn't something he can do as he pleases! Does he think coming in first gives him an advantage? Don't let him die without even knowing how!" Zhuge Qingxuan said.

"Oh? Do you know this sect?" Old Han asked curiously.

"The Ancient Soul Refining Sect was a powerful sect contemporary with the Heaven Unity Sect. It is said that their sect master was also an unparalleled genius, having cultivated his heretical techniques to the extreme, a peak Profound Gazing Divine Realm expert. Unfortunately, he ran into Jue Tian!"

The Holy City was now the oldest inheritor of traditions, and upon seeing the name Soul Refining Sect, they quickly recalled its origins.

However, according to the sect's records, this sect had been destroyed by Jue Tian. They never expected its ruins to appear in the Godfall Mountains.

But one thing was certain: this sect was not to be trifled with.

"So Ye Yuan might not necessarily have an easy time in there. If he's not careful, he might really end up getting himself killed. Lord Kano said that Ye Yuan's fate is obscured in the Godfall Mountains. This is the best place to kill him. Or maybe he'll just get himself killed," Old Han said, his eyes lighting up.

At this, Zhuge Qingxuan's expression finally softened a bit, and he said with a hint of mockery, "Let's go in. I hope Ye Yuan doesn't get himself killed too soon."

...

Earlier, Ye Yuan and the others, led by the ghost talisman, entered the tomb.

Inside the tomb was a self-contained space, like a huge imperial mausoleum.

The mausoleum had numerous passages and countless mechanisms.

One misstep would lead to death and destruction.

But Ye Yuan had searched the ghost talisman's memories and knew the place like the back of his hand.

With him leading, the group advanced unimpeded.

"Is the space crystal behind this door?" Ye Yuan asked.

Ahead was a large door. According to the ghost talisman's memories, behind it lay a space crystal.

That space crystal was the foundation of this space.

By controlling the space crystal, Ye Yuan could manipulate the tomb at will.

Of course, that was provided Li Kui did not awaken.

"Yes, master! But this door has a very powerful restriction, personally set by Sect Master Li Kui, specifically targeting the soul. Even a Cave Profound Divine Realm expert would find it hard to withstand," the ghost talisman warned.

The Soul Refining Sect was founded on 'souls,' delighting in refining souls, and was extremely formidable in the way of the soul.

Li Kui was the one who had gone the farthest in this path within the Soul Refining Sect, with cultivation reaching the peak of the Profound Gazing Divine Realm.

The power of the restriction he personally set was evident.

Even after a million years, it was by no means something a Dao Profound Realm martial artist could resist.

Along the way, everyone had grown accustomed to the ghost talisman's presence.

At Ye Yuan's request, the ghost talisman used a secret technique to manifest itself.

Now under Ye Yuan's control, the ghost talisman naturally worried about his master's safety.

"A restriction targeting the soul?"

Ye Yuan curled his lips in disdain and reached out to push the door.

Seeing this, the ghost talisman was startled and quickly said, "Master, be careful!"

When Ye Yuan's hand touched the door, a restriction force that made everyone's heart tremble instantly invaded Ye Yuan's sea of consciousness.

"Sir, be careful!"

"Sir!"

...

They all cried out in alarm, warning Ye Yuan.

After all, Ye Yuan was now their only hope.

Without Ye Yuan, they would surely die here, with no other possibility.

Yet Ye Yuan, as if nothing had happened, pressed his hand directly on the door.

And then... pushed it open.

Everyone's eyes bulged, looking as if they had seen a ghost.

Only Yue Mengli and the other two looked as if it were only natural; they all knew that Ye Yuan was essentially immune to soul-based attacks.

If it had been some powerful primal force restriction, Ye Yuan might have had to put in some effort.

But a restriction targeting the soul... was simply not challenging enough.

The ghost talisman felt that his new master was the real 'ghost.'

"Master's methods are truly beyond belief!" the ghost talisman exclaimed.

"Creak..."

Ye Yuan easily pushed open the stone door, revealing a dreamlike scene before everyone.

This was a void, displaying a riot of colors, magnificent and splendid.

In the middle of the void, a white crystal hung in the air, emitting powerful fluctuations.

"Such powerful space energy! I never thought the Divine Realm would have such a wondrous thing!"

Ye Yuan was also full of admiration upon seeing the space crystal.

Since the decline of the Divine Path, the powers that once transcended the mundane had gradually disappeared into the river of history, leaving few traces.

This space crystal was clearly one of them.

The fact that it could sustain this space for a million years without collapsing spoke volumes about its energy.

Of course, Li Kui's ability to use the space crystal to carve out this space was also unimaginable.

"The space in the Godfall Mountains is extremely unstable. Back then, Li Kui used the space crystal to open up this Soul Refining Sect space at a spatial node, thus evading Jue Tian's notice. But after a million years, the space crystal's power has weakened considerably, and it can no longer exist independently in the void, which is why it appeared in the Godfall Mountains," the ghost talisman said.

Ye Yuan sighed, "It seems the means of Divine Path experts are truly beyond our imagination! Even if it weren't for dealing with Kano, the allure of the Divine Realm is something we mortals cannot resist."

Not far from the space crystal was a small formation.

Ye Yuan channeled his primal force and struck out the nine Ten Thousand Soul Banners in nine directions.

Then, he slowly stepped into the formation.

Everything in the Soul Refining Sect space was now under Ye Yuan's control!
