Xia Ruofei originally thought that after passing through this stone door, there would be a stone room or several stone rooms. If nothing unexpected happened, he would be able to find the World Stone here.
However, everything in front of him greatly exceeded his expectations.
After walking out of the doorway, Xia Ruofei was presented with a huge and empty space. The height was at least a hundred meters and the size of a dozen or so soccer fields. It was as if the center of the island had been hollowed out.
On the walls and ceiling of this huge cave, there were round beads emitting a misty green light. They were like stars adorning the dome. It was a magnificent sight.
It was also these round beads that shrouded the entire cave in a misty green light. It looked very dreamy.
No wonder when the stone door opened, Xia Ruofei saw the green light coming from inside.
The stone door was located at the bottom of the huge cave. Looking out from here, one could see pavilions scattered all over the place. There were also secluded winding paths, exquisite little bridges, winding streams … Under the misty green light, it looked like a paradise on earth.
Xia Ruofei stood in a daze for a long time, unable to take a step forward.
He could never have imagined that there would be such a beautiful paradise more than two hundred meters underground on this desolate island. Every building here was magnificent, and every scenery was unforgettable. Moreover, it looked chaotic and disorderly, but in fact, it was in accordance with the principles of heaven and earth. Everything seemed to be made by nature. Even an ordinary rock was just right, as if it was born there. Without this rock, the entire complex of buildings would be out of place.
"It's too amazing …" Xia Ruofei could not help but sigh.
Could it be that this was the work of immortals? Xia Ruofei was sure that even the most amazing architect of ancient buildings in the mortal world would not be able to design such a perfect complex of buildings.
Especially that natural charm, it was a realm that mortals could not achieve.
Xia Ruofei walked forward.
From the exit of the doorway, there was a small path paved with bluestone that led to the huge ancient building complex. Purple bamboos were planted on both sides of the path.
These bamboos perfectly blocked part of the scenery, and on the winding path, the scenery was completely different every few steps, but each had its own charm.
Xia Ruofei had visited the Humble Administrator's Garden before. This garden could be considered the pinnacle of the history of gardens, and its most famous feature was "Shifting Scenery". Now, in comparison, the Humble Administrator's Garden's "Shifting Scenery" was at a beginner level compared to this complex of buildings that were more than 200 meters underground.
Xia Ruofei couldn't help but think that if he could live in such an environment for a long time, even if it was over 200 m deep underground, he would still enjoy it!
Of course, if he could bring his confidante to live here, then he would have nothing more to ask for in this life.
However, it was not easy to enter this underground cave. Just the low temperature of the pool and the fact that it was over 200 meters deep was enough to keep most people out.
Xia Ruofei thought about it as he walked forward on the small path.
After passing through the purple bamboo forest, there was a huge garden in front of him, and the small path went through the garden.
Xia Ruofei could see a large number of Spirit Herbs and Spirit Herbs planted in the gardens on both sides. Among them, there were quite a few that she had seen on the island in the Spirit Map Space. The only difference was that these Spirit Herbs and Spirit Herbs were all in a mature state.
However, there were no flowers that were commonly seen in the outside world.
Xia Ruofei had also read a lot of books on cultivation and was no longer a cultivation novice. However, he could not recognize more than 30% of the Spiritual Grass and Spiritual Medicine.
Just the spirit herbs that he recognized were so precious that his body trembled with excitement.
"Rainbow Miscanthus! Ice Soul Jade Leaf! Damn … there's even a Snow Sepal Golden Lotus … "Xia Ruofei muttered to himself as he walked into the garden.
The spirit herbs here were no less precious than the ones on the islands in the Ring-Tu space. Although he did not see any spirit herbs as precious as the Heart Congealing Grass, Xia Ruofei did not recognize at least two-thirds of the spirit herbs here. It was possible that there were even more precious spirit herbs here!
However, it was obvious that he was happy too early. Before he could step into the garden, a halo lit up. It was obvious that the array had been activated.
Xia Ruofei realized that other than this small path, there was no way for him to enter the garden.
Moreover, this array was obviously much more advanced than the one in the pool. Furthermore, it was not damaged at all and was operating normally. Even if he wanted to try to break it, there was no way for him to enter.
Xia Ruofei thought about it and could only give up for now. Although he was envious, he knew that there was no hope. Naturally, he would not waste any more time here.
What he was worried about now was that if he found out that the World Stone was also in this array, what should he do?
Could it be that he had gone through so many hardships to come here and even almost lost his life just to broaden his horizons?
Yes, he saw an awesome array, an almost perfect immortal treasure land and a garden full of spirit herbs. It was a pity that it had nothing to do with him. He didn't take anything away!
Just thinking about it made him feel vexed!
Xia Ruofei carried a trace of worry as he continued to move forward.
After entering the interior of this beautiful building, the path was naturally not the only path.
However, Xia Ruofei relied on the guidance of the jade leaf and the white world raccoon. He kept thinking that there might be a World Stone nearby.
Along the way, he also saw many treasures. Other than spirit herbs, there were also extremely sharp treasured swords and crystal stones that had a higher concentration of spirit energy than spirit crystals.
However, these treasures all had a common characteristic. They could be seen but could not be touched!
It was as if they were specifically left here to annoy people.
Xia Ruofei was also worried about his gains and losses. On one hand, he was naturally unwilling to enter a treasure mountain empty-handed. On the other hand, he was secretly rejoicing. At least until now, he had not seen a World Stone protected by an array.
There was a saying in the West, no news was good news.
This saying was very suitable for the current Xia Ruofei. As long as he did not see a World Stone protected by an array, it was good news to him.
Xia Ruofei walked through this immortal palace-like ancient building complex for more than ten minutes. He was already a bit numb to the magnificent scenery.
Of course, he did not dare to let his guard down. After all, this place was clearly set up by a cultivation senior with a very high cultivation level. There might be unknown dangers.
Just like that, Xia Ruofei finally arrived in front of a palace.
Yes, in Xia Ruofei's eyes, this was a palace. It was even more magnificent than the palaces in the Forbidden City.
This palace was thirty to forty meters tall and was unique in the entire ancient building complex. It was also the largest building.
In front of the palace was a huge square paved with bluestone. These bluestone slabs were polished to the point that they could be used as mirrors. Xia Ruofei was even worried that his feet would slip when he walked on them.
After passing through the square, there were a total of 99 steps.
On both sides of the steps were railings made of white marble. Every three steps, there was a lifelike beast head on the railings. There were a total of 66 beast heads on both sides. Not a single one was the same. The carving was simply a work of art.
After walking up the steps, Xia Ruofei stood in front of this nameless palace.
At the entrance of the palace were two three-meter-tall stone sculptures. The sculptures were of two guardian beasts that Xia Ruofei could not name. They looked a bit like lions from the front, but had a tail full of scales. At the same time, the claws of these guardian beasts were not lion claws. Instead, they were similar to the legendary dragon claws.
Xia Ruofei stood in front of these guardian beasts that looked like dragons and lions. He could not feel a trace of vitality, but he could still feel the pressure coming from them.
He was very sure that these were two stone sculptures. However, just their appearance alone could produce such a strong pressure, especially the pair of eyes of the guardian beasts. They were cold, ruthless, and bloodthirsty. Xia Ruofei felt his heart palpitate just by looking at them.
Xia Ruofei steadied his mind, stepped over the high threshold, and walked into the palace.
Inside the palace, there were huge pillars that were thirty to forty meters high. The roof was also inlaid with round beads that emitted a blue light. In the blue halo, the interior of the palace seemed a bit empty.
At the entrance, there were two rows of pillars neatly arranged, extending forward one to two hundred meters. Between the pillars was a path paved with bluestones.
Xia Ruofei looked into the distance. At the end of the bluestone path, there were more than ten steps, and then there was a platform at the top. He could vaguely see a quaint throne, and in front of the throne was a table.
The white world raccoon in the space was extremely excited. It kept urging Xia Ruofei to move in the direction of the throne.
Xia Ruofei took a deep breath and carefully stepped forward.
One step, two steps … In this spacious palace, the sound of footsteps could form echoes. In this strange silence, Xia Ruofei was also fully focused on guarding against any possible danger that might occur.
Xia Ruofei took five to six minutes to walk this distance of more than a hundred meters. Every step was carefully taken.
When he was about three or four meters away from the bottom of the steps to the throne, he suddenly heard a squeaking sound.
Xia Ruofei suddenly turned around and found that the palace door had closed by itself.
With a clang, the palace door was completely closed.
Xia Ruofei became more and more nervous. He even summoned the Spirit Map Scroll and held it tightly in his hands.
It was precisely because of the existence of the Spirit Map Scroll that Xia Ruofei had a trace of confidence.
Once there was a danger that he could not fight against, he only needed a thought to hide in the space.
Although this underground complex was magnificent, and he saw many spirit herbs, spirit medicines, and heaven and earth treasures along the way, he faintly felt that none of them were as precious as the Spirit Map Scroll.
The Spirit Map Scroll had opened up a stable space, and it was not the kind of storage space that was dead silent. Instead, it was filled with the spirit energy of heaven and earth, and it could even evolve the rules of the natural space in the outside world.
And although this underground complex was ingenious, the difficulty of construction was obviously not as great as opening up another space.
Therefore, Xia Ruofei deduced that the owner of this place should be much weaker than the owner of the Ring-Tu space.
He was also very confident that in this environment, the Ring-Tu space would definitely be able to protect his safety.
After the palace door closed, Xia Ruofei was only slightly shocked. Then, he turned around and focused his attention on the table in front of the throne.
Previously, he was too far away to see clearly, but now, he could clearly see that there were three boxes placed side by side on the table.
Xia Ruofei's gaze became fervent. Whether or not he would be able to gain anything this time, it all depended on these three boxes...
Just as he was about to step onto the stairs, a burst of hearty laughter suddenly came from the palace.
"Hahaha..."
Xia Ruofei was so scared that he almost hid in the Ring-Tu space.
Along the way, he never thought that there would be someone here.
The laughter was very loud, and it formed waves of echoes in the spacious palace. It sounded even more eerie.
"Who is it!" Xia Ruofei could not help but shout.
At this moment, a ray of light fell on the throne behind the table. Then, Xia Ruofei watched as a figure appeared on the throne.
This figure was very strange. It appeared from the feet, and then the light slowly moved up the legs, waist, and finally the body and head. The entire person seemed to be bathed in a layer of light, and it looked a little hazy.
This person was wearing a moon-white Daoist robe, and his hair was tied up in a Daoist bun. His face was thin, and there was a faint smile on his face. He even held a horsetail whisk in his hand, which was casually placed on his arm. He looked very sage-like.
Xia Ruofei suddenly realized and could not help but exclaim, "3D projection? This is too advanced... "
The Daoist seemed to be looking at Xia Ruofei, and began to speak with a smile, "Junior, you can enter my Immortal Island, which means that we are fated. And you have come here, at least in terms of formation, you have reached a higher level. Moreover, you can pass the test of the Purple Blood Spiritual Python, which means that your cultivation has at least reached the peak of the Gold Core stage..."
Speaking of this, the Daoist hesitated for a moment, and then said with a smile, "Speaking of which, I don't know how many years it will be when you see this video. If it is too long, the Purple Blood Spiritual Python might have broken through to the Nascent Soul stage. Then, wouldn't it be very difficult for someone to pass the test? "
Hearing this, Xia Ruofei could not help but smile bitterly. It turned out that the Daoist had originally estimated that only the peak of the Gold Core stage could enter, which meant that the giant python was at least in the middle or late stage of the Gold Core stage. After all, spirit beasts were much stronger than humans. Human cultivators of the same level would not be able to defeat spirit beasts.
If the Daoist knew that Xia Ruofei was only at the sixth level of the Qi Refining stage, and that he had relied on the Ring-Tu space and a trace of luck to break in, what would his expression be?
The Daoist immediately shook his head and said, "Forget it, I won't worry too much. In such an environment, even if the Purple Blood Spiritual Python cultivated for two years, it would be very difficult for it to break through! Let's get back to the point! "
