"Little Pen, have you discovered something?" Li Xuan's heart stirred upon hearing this, and he immediately sent a mental message to ask.
"Young Master, this place of Guixu is no treasure land. Although there are indeed some opportunities within, and those powerhouses attempting to enter and retrieve the souls of their loved ones and friends will leave behind some treasures if they perish."
The Heavenly Dao Pen paused and continued, "But within this Guixu, not only do fallen powerhouses from the outside world become combat puppets. Further in, there are guardians set up by the Master. To be blunt, I fear none of these people will survive."
Li Xuan frowned upon hearing this. "Are those guardians very powerful?"
The Heavenly Dao Pen replied indignantly, "Young Master, this is the Guixu where all living beings in the entire universe go after their demise. It can be said that as long as their spiritual souls can be taken from this place, they can be resurrected indefinitely. If that were the case, the calamity would be fatal. Do you think such an important place would not have powerful guardians?"
"More importantly, in the innermost core, there are restrictions set by the Master. I fear even powerhouses like Yi Qin wouldn't last more than a stick of incense there."
Li Xuan nodded slightly, clearly now aware of the importance of the matter. However, if he wanted An Batian and the others to retreat now, he would need to find a plausible reason.
With this thought, Li Xuan shook his head in frustration and his gaze fell upon his master, Luo Kang, who stood before him.
The next moment, Li Xuan directly pulled Luo Kang.
"What is it?" Luo Kang stopped and looked at Li Xuan, asking. With Luo Kang's movement, An Batian and the others also noticed and stopped, looking over.
Li Xuan took a deep breath and then said, "Master, all Peak Lords and Sect Masters, we cannot proceed further into this place."
"Why? Saint Son Li Xuan, have you discovered something?" Before Luo Kang could speak, An Batian, with a slight frown, directly looked at Li Xuan and asked.
Li Xuan gave a wry smile and replied, "The specific source, I am afraid, I cannot disclose. However, if we continue forward, I fear not a single one of us will survive. Sect Master, do you know the true origin of this Guixu?"
Looking at Li Xuan who was gazing at him, An Batian pondered for a moment before saying, "I have a rough understanding. Legend has it that this Guixu was built by the Scribe. After all beings in this universe perish, a wisp of their heroic spirit enters this place. I also heard that if one could bring it out, they could be resurrected."
"However, over the years, I haven't heard of anyone succeeding. Whether this matter is true or false, it's hard to say. But we have gained quite a lot on this journey, perhaps the rumors are not entirely true."
Li Xuan shook his head. "Sect Master, the rumors you speak of are true. As for why no one has succeeded, it's because they have all perished here. If we venture deeper, we will inevitably encounter the beings left by the Scribe to guard this place. To put it bluntly, none of us are their match."
Upon hearing Li Xuan's words, everyone present fell silent. Li Xuan's words, combined with An Batian's earlier statement and the encounters with the Teng Snake and the skeletal remains they had faced, led everyone to weigh the pros and cons.
Although some wanted to ask how Li Xuan knew the legend was true, Li Xuan had already stated he couldn't reveal the specific source. For a moment, everyone's gaze turned to An Batian.
After all, An Batian was the Sect Master, and the decision could only be made by him.
"Young Master, when you tell them to return, have them go towards the right. There, they might have unexpected gains," at this moment, the Heavenly Dao Pen suddenly transmitted to Li Xuan.
Li Xuan's heart stirred. The Heavenly Dao Pen would not speak without reason. The next moment, Li Xuan directly looked at An Batian and spoke these words.
"Towards the right... Saint Son Li Xuan, since you have said so, we will stop here. However, what do you mean by that? Aren't you returning with us?" An Batian looked at Li Xuan and asked.
Li Xuan nodded slightly and replied, "Sect Master, I have very important matters to attend to. Also, I am confident I can survive, so I will not be leaving with Sect Master and the others."
"Here?" An Batian asked, hearing this.
Li Xuan nodded slightly. "Further in."
"Very well. Since Saint Son Li Xuan has decided, we will await your return in the Azure Hall." An Batian now understood that Li Xuan must have secrets unknown to him. Even so, An Batian chose to believe Li Xuan.
"Let's go," An Batian waved his hand at everyone and said, then directly headed towards the right.
"Li Xuan..." As everyone moved, Luo Kang looked at Li Xuan with hesitation.
Li Xuan smiled slightly. "Master, please rest assured, your disciple has it under control."
"Alright, since you insist, this master will not force you. I hope you can return safely." Luo Kang also knew this was not the time for indecision, and seeing Li Xuan's firm expression, he knew he couldn't dissuade him. After patting Li Xuan's shoulder, Luo Kang moved and followed An Batian and the others.
As An Batian and the others departed, Li Xuan exhaled a breath and looked towards the depths.
"Little Pen, let's continue."
