A few hundred meters underground, in a spacious stone chamber, Yi Yun had been sitting there for a long time.
Wisps of pure Yang flames emerged from the pores of his body, rising into the air like golden butterflies. They flashed for a few breaths of time before disappearing into the void.
The dark stone chamber was covered in a layer of golden-red light under the illumination of the flames.
Under the illumination of the light, Yi Yun sat cross-legged. His expression was calm, but in his body, pure Yang Yuan Qi was circulating crazily.
With every circulation, pure Yang Yuan Qi would accumulate in Yi Yun's Dantian, making Yi Yun's cultivation level more profound and his foundation more solid.
Now, Yi Yun had just entered the peak of the Yuan foundation realm. It was the time for his cultivation level and strength to increase by leaps and bounds.
From the peak of the Yuan foundation realm to the Dao Seed realm, a large amount of energy was needed to complete the condensation of a nomological seed.
And just as Yi Yun was fully focused on his cultivation, a white-dressed female appeared silently in front of him.
Even the illusion array that Yi Yun had set up was unable to obstruct the white-dressed woman from entering the depths of a few hundred meters.
Yi Yun seemed to sense something as he suddenly opened his eyes. When he saw the white-dressed female appear less than three meters in front of him, Yi Yun's hair stood on end. He leaped backwards almost instantly and unsheathed his Blood Red Lotus Saber!
"Who are you!?"
In this kind of environment, a ghost-like woman suddenly appeared. The situation was too strange, and anyone would be shocked to the point of breaking out in a cold sweat.
However, although Yi Yun was alarmed, he did not panic. He did not sense any killing intent from the white-dressed female.
The white-dressed female did not say a word. She only looked at Yi Yun and let out a light sigh.
This sigh contained an indescribable emotion. It inexplicably made people feel pity for her. Yi Yun's heart stirred as he asked, "You come from the Great Empress mystic realm?"
Yi Yun had built such a well-hidden cave abode, yet she had easily found it. Furthermore, she had managed to sneak in without alerting him.
Other than the Great Empress mystic realm's guardian, or the energy-based lifeform that was in charge of the next assessment, there was no other possibility.
"You guessed correctly. I … am the God Advent Tower's Item Spirit." The white-dressed female said with a cold voice.
Even though Yi Yun had a rough guess, he was still extremely alarmed when he heard the white-dressed female's words. He originally believed that the white-dressed female in front of him was similar to the energy body mirror image he had encountered when he went from the second level to the third level of the God Advent Tower. However, it was unexpected that it had such a great background. It was the Item Spirit of the God Advent Tower.
After the ancient Great Empress, the God Advent Tower no longer had an owner. The Item Spirit was actually the controller of the God Advent Tower. From the looks of it, the white-dressed female in front of him was the true ruler of the Great Empress mystic realm.
How could Yi Yun not be surprised by such an identity?
He didn't know why the woman in white had come to find him. With the power she controlled and the position she held, he was just a nobody.
"You seem to be injured?"
Yi Yun probed. He sensed that the white-dressed female in front of him was not in a good situation. In the Purple Crystal's energy vision, her energy form was extremely unstable, as though it could collapse at any time.
The artifact spirit of a powerful divine artifact shouldn't be like this.
"Yes." The white-dressed female said faintly, "Because of the evil race that entered the God Advent Tower, I used the energy that Master had sealed in the God Advent Tower's extreme frost icy plains. This energy is too great, so I used my body as a medium to power it. It caused me to overdraft my energy, so I need to enter a deep slumber … If not, my body will collapse."
What? Evil race?
Yi Yun was confused. What was an evil race?
The Great Empress mystic realm had such terrifying restrictions, and a divine artifact at the level of the God Advent Tower as a stabilizing force, yet it was invaded by an evil race?
What was the identity of the evil race? Was it the Desolate race?
Could it be … that the tremors from before had something to do with what the white-dressed female said?
The white-dressed female ignored Yi Yun's questions and carried on, "After I enter a deep slumber, the remaining energy in the Great Empress mystic realm will support the continuation of the assessment. However, this energy will only last for a few months. Once the energy is depleted, all the opportunities and treasures in the mystic realm will be sealed. Correspondingly, the restrictions and laws will lose their effectiveness …"
The white-dressed female's words made Yi Yun's heart sink. Sealing treasures, causing restrictions and laws to lose their effectiveness?
If that was the case …
All sorts of thoughts flashed through Yi Yun's mind. The news the white-dressed female brought was too shocking. He did not have the time to think about it carefully.
"Then why did Senior come looking for me?"
At the moment when the white-dressed female was about to enter a deep slumber and the Great Empress mystic realm's laws losing their effectiveness, Yi Yun did not understand why the white-dressed female would suddenly come looking for him. He had never interacted with the white-dressed female before.
The white-dressed female said, "According to the standards set by Master, be it you or that girl named Lin Xintong, you do not have the strength to inherit Master's heritage … However, your performance in the trials, especially yours, has surprised me."
"That girl is now walking in the extreme frost icy plains. I just said that a portion of Master's energy is sealed in the extreme frost icy plains. That girl is tracing the path that Master had once taken. "
"That path is nearly impossible for her to complete. If I still had my strength, I could guide her and protect her. When she cannot withstand it, I could shield her from the extreme frost icy plains' frost Qi."
"But … I am already too weak now. If I use any more energy, it might cause my body to collapse. I need to enter a deep slumber … As for that girl … she has made up her mind. She wants to walk through the extreme frost icy plains. I can no longer protect her … If she is alone, she might die there."
What!?
Hearing the white-dressed female's words, Yi Yun was greatly alarmed. Lin Xintong was going to die in the extreme frost icy plains?
"Go find her. After you pass the third level, you will enter the fourth level. You will then appear in that icy plains. You can choose to bring her back, or you can attempt to cross the icy plains together to obtain Master's recognition … "
"What I want to say is … I will already be in a deep slumber by then. The extreme frost icy plains will become a land of death. If you insist on proceeding forward, you might walk into an abyss. That will become a path of no return."
When the white-dressed female said this, her figure became fainter and her voice became more ethereal.
Yi Yun still had many questions in his mind. He wanted to ask more, but the white-dressed female only gave a faint sigh. Before she disappeared, the last thing she said was, "There's no time …"
There's no time?
Yi Yun did not know if she was talking about the so-called evil race, or if she was talking about him saving Lin Xintong.
At this moment, he could not think carefully, nor did he dare to delay. With his Blood Red Lotus saber in hand, he crushed the mountain rocks and leaped out of the cave. Following the long tunnel, he charged forward!
