As Bai Li Hongzhuang and Emperor Bei Xuan walked into the passage, they found themselves surrounded by an endless darkness.
Despite picking up their pace, the darkness stretched out before them, seemingly without an end.
"What kind of passage is this? It's so strange," Bai Li Hongzhuang furrowed her brows. They had been walking for quite some time, and logically speaking, even if this relic was enormous, they should have reached the end by now.
"It seems that there is no danger within this passage; it's simply testing whether we can find the way out," Emperor Bei Xuan's voice sounded slightly heavy. His gaze constantly scanned the surroundings of the passage, and without saying it, he had already guessed that they couldn't reach the exit by walking like this. There was something they hadn't noticed.
Bai Li Hongzhuang nodded slightly. The lack of danger within the passage relieved her. At least they didn't need to worry about their lives.
"If I'm not mistaken, what we're seeing here is most likely an illusion," Bai Li Hongzhuang's voice was resolute and confident. She had encountered illusions before, but each illusion set up by cultivators was different. The illusion they were facing now was designed to create a desperate darkness.
"Illusion?" Emperor Bei Xuan raised his voice, his brows filled with a hint of doubt and surprise.
Bai Li Hongzhuang smiled faintly. "Illusion is a scene constructed by cultivators in a special way. Those trapped within the illusion are unaware of it. Perhaps in the eyes of others, it seems like we've been standing in one place."
"We've seen the size of this relic from the outside. There's no way we could be walking for so long without finding the exit. Therefore, illusion is the only explanation."
"I never heard of such a special technique in the world," Emperor Bei Xuan sighed in admiration. His wife seemed to know a lot of things. Upon careful consideration, he realized that compared to her, his knowledge was lacking.
Whether it was the art of trembling needles, the expansive meridian-opening pill, or even the illusion they were facing now, he had never encountered or heard of them before. Bai Li Hongzhuang, on the other hand, was knowledgeable about all of them. It was truly remarkable.
However... who exactly was his wife? Why did she know so much about these lost techniques that no one else knew about?
With these thoughts in his mind, Emperor Bei Xuan unconsciously tightened his grip on Bai Li Hongzhuang's hand. She gave him a feeling of elusiveness, as if he couldn't fully grasp her.
It was as if there was an invisible veil covering Bai Li Hongzhuang's face, making it difficult for him to see her clearly.
