The narrow room was quickly stirred by the shattering of the barrier.
Gu Qianying finally became angry, looking coldly at the person before her.
"How long are you two going to argue?"
Power burst forth from this person, their pupils slightly reddish, exuding an instant oppressive aura.
This caused Bai Yu Lan and Nangong Li to retreat instantly.
Bai Yu Lan chuckled and hid in a corner to read, "I was wrong."
Nangong Li acted as if nothing had happened, "Nothing happened just now, what does it have to do with me?"
Gu Qianying let out a cold laugh, narrowing her sharp eyes.
"You two are truly interesting!"
Nangong Li stiffened for a moment, then simply picked up a book and covered his face with it, "I don't understand what you're saying."
Gu Qianying remained silent, continuing to smile.
"I understand!"
Nangong Li's body froze, and he fell silent.
The books on the bookshelf were divided into two layers.
The books they were looking at earlier were disguises, while the real books were on the second layer of the bookshelf.
These real books were long-lost forbidden texts.
They contained many unknown secrets.
Even records of the Celestial Realm were inscribed upon them.
Bai Yu Feng held a tattered atlas in his hand. As he examined its contents, his brows furrowed repeatedly.
"Records from the Celestial Realm ten thousand years ago, why would they appear in such forbidden texts?"
He scanned the text above, inexplicably sensing a connection with these words.
As Bai Yu Feng prepared to read further,
A strange feeling suddenly surged into his mind.
With a bang, the book in his hand fell to the ground.
In a deserted corner, Bai Yu Feng quickly clutched his head.
Those memories continuously devoured him, invading his thoughts.
He covered his nearly fractured head, forcing himself to sink into them.
Within those memories,
There was a person who looked exactly like him.
But that person was different from him.
That man was clad in armor, positioned above all else. His posture was upright, and his spiritual power was unmatched.
Amidst a void, that man opened his eyes and looked towards Bai Yu Feng.
Bai Yu Feng was startled and tried to rush forward.
He clearly sensed an inseparable connection with that person.
"Who are you? Why do you have the same face as me?"
The man's voice was ethereal, as if coming from a thousand miles away. His lips parted slightly.
"I am you, and you are me."
"I am you. You are me."
These eight words echoed in Bai Yu Feng's mind, overwhelming him. His body quickly recoiled until he hit the bookshelf, where he finally stopped.
His eyes widened instantly, revealing a hint of crimson.
"No, I am me, who are you?"
The man suddenly revealed a sinister smile, as if mocking, "I told you, you are me."
Just as Bai Yu Feng finally reached him,
The upright figure suddenly vanished, dissolving into wisps of nothingness.
Bai Yu Feng's head throbbed, and his body could no longer support itself.
He cried out in pain and his eyes snapped open.
Bai Yu Feng suddenly realized he was still in the same spot, not having moved elsewhere.
At that moment, the fragmented memories in his mind reassembled.
This time, the scene was different from before.
This scene was exceptionally beautiful, filling him with longing.
In the memory, it was also him.
He held a woman's hand, laughing and playing, their affection evident, their eyes only for each other.
Bai Yu Feng tried to get a clear look at the woman's appearance.
But the result was the same.
It was only composed of fragments, with no complete image. He could only see a phantom.
Yet, even so, he could feel it.
He was deeply in love with this woman, their souls intertwined, neither able to leave the other.
Everyone finally noticed Bai Yu Feng standing there in a daze, thinking his spiritual power had ceased and he was in trouble again.
They asked worriedly, "Are you alright? Why are you covered in sweat?"
Bai Yu Feng picked up the book from the ground, brushed off the dust, and said calmly, "Everyone, don't worry, I'm fine. Please continue searching!"
Gu Qianying finally breathed a sigh of relief.
The situation was dire, and they didn't know what was happening outside. They had to get out immediately!
Otherwise, by staying here, they would only be at the mercy of others.
Gu Qianying turned her body and focused even more intently on examining the books.
Just as she was struggling, a cultivation technique suddenly appeared before Gu Qianying.
This technique could enhance spiritual power.
And the method within it was something Gu Qianying had never seen before.
Bai Yu Feng had sacrificed spirit pills and his own spiritual power for them, causing his entire family to fall into this desolate place.
Gu Qianying felt uneasy, constantly wanting to find a way to compensate.
This book appearing here was like timely rain.
She quickly opened it, carefully examining the incantations, and decided to test it on herself.
Gu Qianying bit her middle finger, drawing a drop of blood.
She then let it drip into the air and, following the depiction in the cultivation technique, forced out the breath from her dantian, drawing a talisman in the air.
Her gaze was sharp and unwavering. As the last stroke fell,
The atmosphere in the secret chamber seemed to sense something and began to churn, flickering.
Facing the raging wind, Gu Qianying gritted her teeth, unwilling to retreat for a moment.
The books also began to shake continuously.
They all floated in mid-air, condensing together.
That power transformed into a monstrous force, actually resisting Gu Qianying.
Unbeknownst to Gu Qianying, her blood surged within her.
Her expression changed, and she suddenly glimpsed the peculiarity of the place.
Gu Qianying rejoiced. Perhaps this book was the best way to find the exit.
She bit her middle finger again, drawing a few drops of blood.
The blood flowed into the talisman, bringing with it a torrential force, contending with the malevolent aura from the books.
The shaking of the bookshelf intensified, causing the entire secret chamber to tremble.
Everyone stopped what they were doing and moved towards the commotion.
Nearby, Gu Qianying was suspended in mid-air, confronting the force before her.
Everyone's expressions were distorted.
"What on earth is happening?"
They had been engrossed in their research and were unaware of the situation.
While they were worried, they did not step forward.
If they were to suddenly break into the formation Gu Qianying was in, it would undoubtedly cause great trouble.
However, they did not cease their efforts.
Everyone, including Bai Yu Lan, sat down and channeled spiritual energy to assist Gu Qianying from behind.
Gu Qianying had been gritting her teeth.
But upon receiving the spiritual energy from behind, coupled with the enhancement of her own spiritual power,
The immense force before her posed no danger.
Gu Qianying circulated her energy, and a blue light emanated from her palms.
She shouted forward, "You juniors, why don't you reveal yourselves? What skill is there in hiding behind others."
After this surge of power,
The original resistance from the bookshelf instantly dissipated.
The books imbued with demonic energy also turned into shredded paper, vanishing into thin air.
A rumbling sound echoed from beside the bookshelf.
Their expressions also changed. With a twist, the illusionary phenomena on the bookshelf disappeared, leaving only a stone door.
Gu Qianying's eyes lit up.
So this was the exit.
