I Can Deduce Arts by Slaying Demons

Chapter 408: Chapter 297: Coming In and Facing Brutal Trials Already?

The moment Lu Xuan stepped into the Spirit Ruins, his taut nerves finally relaxed slightly.

The obstruction Lu Xuan anticipated did not occur—among those old fellows, quite a few had grudges with him.

They actually allowed him to enter just like that.

"They truly can keep their composure..."

A hint of caution flashed in Lu Xuan’s eyes, for he did not believe those old fellows would be compassionate.

After entering, the white light gate connecting to the outside world behind Lu Xuan still remained there, unchanged.

The white light gate connected to the Spirit Ruins would exist for one year.

Only after one year would it continue to be concealed in the void.

The people of the eight great families and the five transcendent forces were guarding this gate to prevent anyone from daring to trespass into the Spirit Ruins.

Lu Xuan raised his eyes and looked around, the sight before him left him utterly stunned.

Boundless emerald pasture stretched to the horizon, a gentle breeze ruffled the waves of grass, and Lu Xuan could smell the fragrance of earth and wildflowers.

In the distance, mountains undulated like the spine of a giant dragon, and the wings of birds circling in the sky refracted a colorful radiance.

Everything here was unbelievably real—the damp touch of the soil beneath his feet, the flow of Spiritual Qi in the air, even the temperature of sunlight on his skin, indistinguishable from the real world.

"Is this... an independent Pocket World?"

"Or is it a mirage of the real world!"

After all, facing a brand-new world, even Lu Xuan couldn’t help but be a bit cautious.

Lu Xuan bent down and picked a blade of grass, its broken tip exuding a faint visual Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi.

What astonished Lu Xuan the most was that all the martial prodigies who entered together were now nowhere to be seen.

The whole world seemed left only with him.

"The Spirit Ruins are mysterious, one person, one realm."

"Fortune depends on one’s destiny, life, and death according to fate."

"It seems the information previously gathered from Zi Yao is true."

Upon entering the Spirit Ruins, everyone would be dispersed to various parts of the world by a mysterious force, commencing the so-called secret trial.

This mysterious world has always been a birthplace of divine treasures, Spiritual Objects, ritual implements, the Void Realm... countless rare treasures all come from here.

Mysterious force?

Could it be this force?

Purple radiance flowed in Lu Xuan’s eyes as he slowly raised his right hand, gazing at his palm where traces of almost dissipated white light lingered.

The white shadow, like smoke and mist, twirled and danced above Lu Xuan’s palm, carrying a certain mystical rhythm transcending earthly principles.

"So, it turns out..."

"Presumably, this mysterious force is why those people were teleported throughout the world’s secret realms."

Lu Xuan’s lips curled up slightly; to his Pocket World True Lord Heaven and Earth Dharma Aspect, the power had already been discerned for its essence.

The Power of Space Law, which ordinary cultivators found irresistible, simply could not affect someone like Lu Xuan, infinitely approaching the master of the Pocket World.

With his cultivation of having one foot in the true mastery of the Pocket World, Lu Xuan could even shatter this mysterious Power of Space Law in an instant.

The next moment, Lu Xuan squinted his eyes as he contemplated briefly, then suddenly abandoned the thought of resisting.

Lu Xuan deliberately restrained the surging Power of Heaven and Earth Laws around him, allowing the white light to wash over him like waves.

In the last moment as Lu Xuan’s body was enveloped by this white light, he keenly captured the hidden trajectory of time and space within this Power of Space Law.

"Swish——"

The white stream of light pierced the sky, and Lu Xuan’s body followed the white light across a thousand miles in an instant.

After Lu Xuan departed, only the grass waves oppressed by the gale remained on the prairie, soon straightening slowly again as though no one had ever passed.

Meanwhile, in other corners of this world, countless prodigies were each facing their own trials...

In a daze, Lu Xuan, by his remarkably strong might, could still see through the white light those scenes beyond the white stream.

Someone was in a secluded valley, fighting with beasts never before seen.

Someone was mixing among the locals in the city.

Someone was in the old village deep in the mountains...

The secret realm was abundant with Heaven and Earth Spiritual Objects, all-encompassing!

Lu Xuan suppressed the excitement within, yet he truly wished to forcibly shatter this Power of Space Law and madly collect Heaven and Earth Spiritual Objects below.

But now is not the time!

Lu Xuan feared what bad changes might transpire if he did this.

Should he break this world’s norms and alter its rule’s power, he feared that he would face life and death danger.

Currently, Lu Xuan had no possibility of surviving before the world’s rule power.

Even if he could be reborn from a drop of blood, that dreadful world rule power could instantly erase Lu Xuan without leaving a trace.

When his vision cleared again, Lu Xuan found himself standing in a strange crimson desert.

Scorching wind and sand battered his robes, and afar on the dunes, an ancient bronze palace stood amid, shimmering with bizarre light under the fierce sun.

"Interesting."

As soon as Lu Xuan spoke, intense purple luminescence surged in his eyes accompanied by an indescribable force sweeping around him.

Lu Xuan stepped toward the ancient palace, leaving deep footprints in the sand with each step.

Strangely though, these footprints were quickly smoothed by the shifting sands.

Such small disturbances, naturally, could not escape Lu Xuan’s awareness.

Until Lu Xuan entered the ancient bronze palace.

Simultaneously, at the desert’s edge in the void, a pair of eyes woven with white light patterns quietly opened, then swiftly concealed themselves...
