23: Leave the illusion and enter the lava cave.

Wang Shiyan listened to Su Yun's words and looked around, thinking for a while.

"It seems so."

"I've seen these trees several times."

"How did this Secret Realm become like this?"

In Wang Shiyan's view, this Secret Realm was much more dangerous than before; previously, there were only some Spirit Beasts.

Those Spirit Beasts' Realms were basically around the Golden Core Stage, and defeating them would yield many Artifact Refining Materials.

There were also beast cores randomly produced after the Spirit Beasts' deaths.

After hearing Wang Shiyan's words, Su Yun knew his feeling wasn't an illusion.

He felt he might have fallen into an illusionary realm.

Could it be that I'm the only one here?

Is Wang Shiyan also part of the illusionary realm?

Thinking of this, Su Yun quickly opened the System to check the life script of Wang Shiyan in front of him.

Correct, it was the same as before. It seemed this wasn't an illusion.

"System, help me analyze what's going on here?"

[Ding! Analysis shows the Host is currently trapped in an illusionary realm. Based on the strength of the illusion, it is estimated that there is a Magic Treasure at least beyond the level of a supreme grade spirit tool acting as the formation eye. However, this illusionary realm is unstable.]

Su Yun originally wanted to spend some Luck Points to have the System break the illusionary realm directly.

But seeing his Luck Points, he gave up on that plan.

He entered the Secret Realm to find more Opportunities and accumulate more Luck Points.

He hadn't even seen an Opportunity yet; he couldn't just spend all his remaining Luck Points, could he?

From what the System said, the most valuable things in this Secret Realm, besides the blazing flame twin swords, included a mysterious Magic Treasure.

Su Yun stopped walking and began to observe his surroundings carefully.

Besides the trees, there were the Stone Golems he had shattered during the battle just now.

Stone Golems?

Su Yun suddenly walked toward the pile of Stone Golem remains.

He felt the only oddity in this forest was the Stone Golems from earlier.

Seeing Su Yun suddenly walk toward the Stone Golem remains, Wang Shiyan was also a bit curious.

"Did you find something?"

Su Yun didn't answer. At this moment, he was squatting on the ground, rummaging through the pile of stones.

In his mind, he connected all the clues.

In this illusionary realm, neither he nor Wang Shiyan could use Spiritual Qi, yet those Stone Golems were driven by Spiritual Qi.

However, that Spiritual Qi was hidden behind those mysterious patterns.

Those mysterious patterns might be connected to the outside world, which is why they had Spiritual Qi.

Recalling the patterns he saw on the Stone Golems during the fight.

Su Yun began to rummage through the pile of stones.

Seeing Su Yun didn't reply, Wang Shiyan wanted to say something.

But seeing Su Yun's serious expression, she didn't dare disturb him.

Unknowingly, she became entranced watching Su Yun's handsome profile.

"Success!"

After searching for a long time, Su Yun finally found the stones that still had patterns on them.

Based on his memory, he reconstructed those patterns.

Once the patterns were pieced together, a surge of Spiritual Qi gushed out from within the Stone Golem body behind the patterns.

Because he only pieced together a stone the size of half a person and hadn't assembled the limbs,

the Stone Golem did not come back to life.

Previously, the patterns on the Stone Golem were on all four sides; now that only one side was pieced together, a passage to the outside appeared.

However, perhaps due to the illusionary realm, the Spiritual Qi disappeared as soon as it surged out.

The Stone Golem's ability to move was likely due to the patterns wrapping around all four sides.

The spiritual power circulated inside the stone, allowing the Stone Golem to be driven by spiritual power.

"The exit is inside these Stone Golems."

"Su Yun, you're pretty good."

Wang Shiyan's beautiful eyes remained on Su Yun, and she couldn't help but admire his capability in her heart.

Although Su Yun was somewhat shameless, his talent and Comprehension Ability were both top-tier.

As a favored daughter of heaven among the younger generation, she had never taken her peers seriously.

Yet Su Yun, whose Realm was lower than hers, had repeatedly made her see him in a new light.

"What are you dazing for? If you're not leaving, I am."

Su Yun looked at Wang Shiyan's dazed expression and felt a bit speechless.

"I'm going, I'm going right now."

Su Yun pressed his hand against the back of the stone patterns and found that his hand passed right through.

A powerful suction appeared from behind the patterns, and both Su Yun and Wang Shiyan were sucked in... Su Yun once again felt the world spinning and his vision went black.

When light appeared before his eyes again, he was falling from a great height.

Su Yun tried to circulate his spiritual power and found that the spiritual power in his body could be used.

With a flash of spiritual light in his hand, Su Yun took out a spirit sword.

After injecting spiritual power, Su Yun stood steadily on the spirit sword, finally stopping his fall.

"Ah!"

A scream came from above.

Su Yun looked up and saw a light red figure falling from above.

It was Wang Shiyan, who had been with him just now.

Su Yun noticed that the clothes on Wang Shiyan were still intact.

It seemed the place just now was indeed an illusionary realm; a treasure capable of generating such an illusion was powerful just to think about.

"You bastard, save me quickly!"

Seeing Su Yun, Wang Shiyan hurriedly called for help.

Su Yun circulated his spiritual power, elegantly flew beneath Wang Shiyan, and caught her in his arms.

It was that familiar feeling, that familiar body fragrance.

"Haven't you realized you can use spiritual power now?"

Su Yun looked at her with a half-smile.

"Ah!"

Wang Shiyan's face instantly turned red. Feeling extremely embarrassed, she quickly jumped out of Su Yun's embrace.

A spirit sword appeared in her hand, and she stood on it.

Twice. She had been taken advantage of twice today.

She had never suffered such a big loss in her life.

I'm so angry!

Seeing that Wang Shiyan was about to explode again, Su Yun quickly changed the subject.

"Wang Shiyan, haven't you noticed it's a bit hot nearby?"

"The fire-attribute spiritual power around here is particularly abundant."

"fire-attribute spiritual power?"

Hearing the topic about the Secret Realm, Wang Shiyan stopped dwelling on what just happened.

She planned to act as if nothing had occurred.

Su Yun looked around and found that the place they were in was actually similar to a Lava Cave.

The ground was covered with dark red stones, and sparks appeared here and there.

The two flew down to the ground.

As for why they didn't continue flying, it was because Su Yun felt the air wasn't safe.

If flying enemies appeared, they would be like sitting ducks.

After all, neither Su Yun nor Wang Shiyan was at the Nascent Soul Stage.

Only those at the Nascent Soul Stage Realm can fly in the air using their own spiritual power without relying on a Spiritual Artifact.

Realms below the Nascent Soul Stage required using spiritual power to drive a Spiritual Artifact to fly.

Therefore, without being at the Nascent Soul Stage, flying with a Spiritual Artifact is generally used for traveling.

After descending from the spirit sword, Su Yun only felt that the ground beneath his feet was extremely hot.

If he didn't have the Glazed Sacred Fire on him to absorb the heat, it would definitely be hard to endure such high temperatures.

Wang Shiyan, however, felt like a fish in water here, as the surroundings were full of fire-attribute spiritual power.

Her Scarlet Flame Sacred Body could exert even more powerful strength than before.

Just as Su Yun was walking forward while observing the surroundings,

*Crack!*

*Crack!*

two faint sounds came from the stones in the distance.

Su Yun's attention was immediately drawn to the sound.

He quickly looked over there.
