The heroine of Black Lotus just wants to ascend

After coming out of that space, Ru Xiyao took a deep breath, feeling the air without the smell of sea and the clean aura that kept penetrating into her body, and smiled easily.

"It's better to be somewhere with spiritual energy."

"If the spirit stone mine hadn't been discovered on the isolated island, I don't know how long it would have taken to leave that space."

Yun Feiyang: "Yes, it's all thanks to you breaking through the Mahayana stage."

"If it hadn't been for the thunder catastrophe that came due to the breakthrough of the Mahayana period, we might still be trapped there at this moment."

Hearing what Yun Feiyang said, Ru Xiyao's mind couldn't help but flash back to the thunder disaster she experienced before leaving the space.

Thinking back to the successful breakthrough in the integration period at the beginning, Ru Xiyao's original doubts seemed to have been answered.

"When I first broke through the integration stage, it didn't cause thunder disaster."

"Thinking about it now, it's probably because the intensity of the thunder tribulation during the integration period is not enough to cause cracks in that space."

Yun Feiyang: "What you said makes sense."

"Maybe the condition for leaving that space is to break through the Mahayana stage within a limited time."

Ru Xiyao: Limited time?

Yun Feiyang: Yes, haven’t you noticed that as each month passes, the number of sea beasts climbing onto the isolated island in the sea becomes more and more?

Thinking of the corpses of sea beasts piled up like hills on the beach, and thinking of what Yun Feiyang said, Ru Xiyao couldn't help but raise her hand and pat her forehead.

"No wonder the further we go, the more tired I feel. I thought it was because the levels of sea beasts are generally getting higher."

"Now that I think about it carefully, there are indeed more and more sea beasts climbing ashore, and because of this, I have less and less time to rest."

"Why didn't this problem be discovered at that time? It's so wrong!"

Yun Feiyang: It’s normal that you rushed too far and didn’t pay attention to this problem.

Hearing what Yun Feiyang said, Ru Xiyao raised her hand and touched her nose slightly, and said with a dry laugh: "That's true. At that time, all I could think about was killing those sea beasts and preventing them from landing on the island. I didn't even pay attention to the bodies of the sea beasts. It’s a question of quantity.”

"By the way, Senior Brother Yun, now that we have returned to the palace, have we passed the palace master's trial?"

Yun Feiyang: Probably so. Let’s go and take a look inside the palace.

Ru Xiyao: Okay.

Ru Xiyao responded with a smile, and then walked towards the depths of the palace with Yun Feiyang.

This palace is different from the one the little fox mentioned. It is not empty and there are not countless steps.

Rather, it is like a treasure pavilion, filled with precious and rare treasures everywhere, some placed on the table, and some placed randomly on the ground.

Ru Xiyao has seen some of these things before, but she can only name some of them. Some of them have only been seen in picture albums, and she only has superficial impressions in her mind, but cannot name them.

Looking at this palace that was different from what she had imagined, Ru Xiyao couldn't help but wonder. Could this be a test as well?

Are you displaying so many good things to see if they will be greedy?

Yun Feiyang: "Why did you stop?"

"Do you like anything here?"

Hearing Yun Feiyang's voice, Ru Xiyao came back to her senses. After walking to his side, she said: "No, I just feel a little strange."

Yun Feiyang: Oh? What’s weird?

Ru Xiyao: "When I first entered this ruins, I met a ninth-level octopus that was about to end its lifespan in a pool in a canyon."

"After we met, I gave him the longevity fruits in my hand, and he agreed to leave the pool with me."

"It was also because of him that I met his former friend, a ninth-level fox."

"That little fox said that he once entered a certain palace here when he first entered the ninth level."

"And that palace was very empty, with only countless steps, but here..."

Saying that, Ru Xiyao paused for a moment, looked around, and then asked softly to Yun Feiyang: Senior Brother Yun, are we not out of that space yet?

After listening to Ru Xiyao's words, Yun Feiyang finally understood what she meant. He thought he had entered an illusion!

Seeing her frowning and looking distressed, Yun Fei raised the corners of his lips and said in a warm voice: "There is more than one palace, so the layout and furnishings inside will naturally be different."

Ru Xiyao: In that space, land can turn into the sea in an instant, and it doesn’t seem that difficult to turn into a palace, right?

Yun Feiyang: Don’t worry, this is not an illusion.

Even after receiving Yun Feiyang's confirmed words, Ru Xiyao looked around, still a little unable to understand.

"But here...it's too different from what the little fox said, isn't it?"

"Also, even if you practice spirituality, you can't have no desires and no desires, and treat money like dirt."

"Are there so many things in the palace to find a destined Buddhist who has pure six roots and empty four elements?"

Yun Feiyang: Why do you think that many of the things placed here are tests?

Ru Xiyao: It’s not a test, it can’t be given away for free, right?

Yun Feiyang was noncommittal and ignored the topic for the time being, then continued walking forward with Ru Xiyao.

In the center of the palace is a stone staircase whose top cannot be seen clearly. It hangs there, guiding people to take a closer look.

Ru Xiyao: Is it a step?!

Yun Feiyang: Go up and have a look?

Hearing this, Ru Xiyao couldn't help but take another look at the environment inside the palace. For those sparkling treasures, she still felt that the stone staircase in front of her was more realistic.

So, not long after Yun Feiyang asked, Ru Xiyao nodded and agreed.

"Let's go then."

After walking up the stone steps for an unknown amount of time, Ru Xiyao and Yun Feiyang reached the top of the stone steps.

I saw a phantom sitting cross-legged on the high platform. I don't know whose spiritual consciousness was left behind. The aura around him was so terrifying that it made people's scalp numb.

Ru Xiyao only glanced at it and then withdrew her eyes.

"Except for the things placed under the high platform, everything else is consistent with what the little fox said."

As soon as Ru Xiyao finished speaking, the shadow sitting cross-legged on the high platform slowly opened its eyes.

His eyes were unwavering. When he looked at Yun Feiyang, he paused for a moment, and then his eyes fell on Ru Xiyao.

"It only took about a year to get out of that space. You are progressing very quickly."

Ru Xiyao: Are you the owner of this palace?

Xuying: No, I'm just guarding this palace here, and I can't be called the master.

Hearing this, Ru Xiyao looked at him and asked curiously: Are the many treasures displayed in the palace a test?

I saw this phantom sitting cross-legged in front of me, and with a slight wave of my hand, a feather fan suddenly appeared in my hand.

"Are you talking about these small objects?"

Glancing over, Ru Xiyao was somewhat impressed by this feather fan, so she nodded and said: Yes, these are the things.

Phantom: It's just some decorations. If you like anything, feel free to take it.

Seeing that this shadow had a very kind attitude and seemed to be able to take whatever he wanted in the palace, Ru Xiyao blinked slightly and couldn't help but say, "You are so easy to talk to?"

"Let's not talk about this issue for now. I have something to ask you."

Phantom: What's going on?

Ru Xiyao: You said you guarded this palace because there are some important secrets hidden here?
