The sky gradually brightened as they galloped through the dark forest. The rain stopped and the wind stopped. The first ray of light shone through the thick clouds in the sky and the fog drifting in the Dead Swamp.
The forest was silent all around. With the ray of light, it gradually became noisy. In an unknown place, the sound of birds chirping could be heard.
Suddenly, the entire forest seemed to have awakened from a deep sleep as rays of light shone through the branches and leaves. Everywhere, there were joyous cries in the morning breeze, as if they were welcoming the arrival of a new day.
Hearing the chirping of birds, Mu Qingxiao's gaze focused and her sword-like eyebrows knitted together. She recalled a sentence in the plot, "When the golden light appears, the yellow bird will appear." And this yellow bird was the ancient divine beast — the Ninth Heaven Spirit Bird!
At this moment, the forest was filled with fog as thin as white gauze. It was obviously different from the aura of the Dead Swamp a few days ago. As they galloped through the forest, the poisonous insects and wild beasts were nowhere to be seen.
It was probably because of the shocking phenomenon from before that they were all scared away.
Dozens of meters ahead was the direction of the golden beam of light from last night. Mu Qingxiao hugged Lu XueQi and floated down to the ground. His footsteps slowed down because the fog ahead had thickened and blurred, making it hard for people to see clearly.
However, this fog was different from the miasma at the edge of the inner swamp. It was not gray in color, but pure white. Looking at it, one could only see the fog drifting gently in the forest, layer by layer.
Mu Qingxiao did not speak. She held Lu XueQi's hand and walked inside. Soon, the two of them were swallowed by the pure white fog.
Walking in the forest, Mu Qingxiao looked for the location of the Celestial Emperor's Treasure House while observing the giant trees in the forest. They were not rare trees. There were oak trees, maple trees, locust trees, and so on.
Even if it were an ordinary mountain outside the Dead Swamp, there would be countless of these trees.
However, the strange thing was that the various trees here were especially huge. Ordinary trees that were half their size were already shocking, let alone so many of them gathered together.
What was even stranger was that the place where these giant trees were located should have been full of vitality, but under this fog, not only was there not a single animal, even the thorny shrubs that they could occasionally see when they first entered had all disappeared without a trace.
Even the surrounding ground, other than the roots of the giant trees that occasionally poked out of the ground, there was only the firm and slightly yellow soil. There wasn't even a single blade of grass, which was really strange.
In such a strange domain, Lu XueQi felt the warmth of Mu Qingxiao's palm and immediately felt safe.
Mu Qingxiao's expression was calm. He had been through a lot, so he was able to remain calm in this kind of situation. There was not even a ripple in his heart.
He stopped and muttered to himself for a long time. He looked around and saw huge trees that towered into the sky. The two of them strolled in the forest as if they had entered a huge maze. He tapped his feet lightly and held Lu XueQi in his arms as they soared into the air and continued to venture deeper.
Since they had come, there was no reason for them to return empty-handed. No matter what demons and monsters there were in front of them, they would be cut down with a sword!
The speed of their advance was obviously much slower than when they were in the periphery. After all, the Celestial Emperor's Treasury was very likely to be nearby. Mu Qingxiao did not fly above the forest, but six feet above the ground. While flying, he did not forget to search carefully.
In this strange forest, Mu Qingxiao did not dare to casually release his Divine Sense. Divine Sense was the power of a person's soul. If his Divine Sense was severely damaged, he would be injured as well.
After all, he was not clear about the situation inside. The strangeness of the Death Swamp could not be estimated. If he casually released his Divine Sense, wouldn't he be sending it up to be attacked by other things?
If he touched the restriction and activated the formation, the consequences would be even worse!
Moreover, each sect had a magic weapon that specialized in dealing with spiritual power. Even in the outside world, he did not dare to casually release all of his Divine Sense, not to mention the Celestial Emperor's Treasury was an important place. If he was not careful, he could be buried here.
Therefore, the Divine Sense had its advantages and disadvantages. If it was used well, it was absolutely like a cheat. If it was not used well, he would die early!
Time passed quietly, but the forest was still silent. Lu XueQi lay in Mu Qingxiao's arms silently. The Joyous Union Bell on his wrist occasionally rang with a few crisp and pleasant sounds.
As Mu Qingxiao gradually went deeper into the forest, the trunks of the trees in the forest became larger and larger. At this moment, what was reflected in their eyes was mostly inconceivable. The ancient trees were so thick that six or seven thick Chinese characters were needed to encircle them.
One did not need to think to know that the trees here were probably thousands of years old!
In the increasingly dense and strange atmosphere, Mu Qingxiao quietly landed on a branch with Lu XueQi in his arms.
At this moment, the sky had been bright for a long time, but the fog here did not seem to show any signs of dissipating. It was as if this strange fog had coexisted with this forest since ancient times.
Standing on a small branch in the deepest part of the forest, the two of them looked forward. What blocked their way was actually a towering wall. It was a wooden wall!
The rough texture of the trees was hard and had traces of cracks. Suddenly, from the depths of the fog, a wooden wall that was 30 feet tall suddenly appeared. It was as strong and powerful as a horned dragon, lying horizontally in the forest of giant trees. It was as if it had sunk deep into the soil.
Mu Qingxiao carefully observed the wooden wall in front of them. Lu XueQi also looked at the scene in front of them curiously. After a while, the corners of his mouth twitched violently a few times. His figure had already reached the side of the wooden wall and he tried to touch it with his hand.
The moment he touched it, he felt a gentle and rough feeling. Mu Qingxiao faintly thought of something in his heart. His eyes were filled with a strong sense of disbelief. He withdrew his hand, hugged Lu XueQi, and floated along the wooden wall.
"XueQi, rumor has it that the treasure vault is located on a hundred-million-year-old divine tree. I did not believe it at first, but now it seems that there is no smoke without fire. The rumor is not completely false."
Lu XueQi glanced at him with her beautiful eyes. She was a little confused.
The white fog gradually dispersed in front of them and slowly condensed behind them. The wooden wall in front of them grew taller and thicker. It gradually became a circular shape, and its height was also slowly rising.
Finally, when the height reached 60 feet, the two of them finally reached the end of the wooden wall. Mu Qingxiao also landed lightly on it.
However, even though Mu Qingxiao's heart was calm and steady, he still could not suppress the shock in his heart. A ripple appeared in his originally calm eyes. In his unstoppable heartbeat, everything in front of him passed through the fog and finally appeared in front of him.
Lu XueQi raised her small head and looked up. Her slender jade-like hand covered her pink lips. She could not believe the scene in front of her. The impact was too great. The two of them stood on the wooden wall for a long time, speechless.
