Lin Tian cautiously stepped into the valley and immediately felt a strong sense of oppression. This valley was extremely strange. A light black fog pervaded the area, emitting a rich corrosive smell. What made Lin Tian even more uneasy was that he found the operation of his spiritual energy within his body became extremely sluggish, as if being suppressed by some invisible force. "What's going on?" Lin Tian frowned and muttered to himself, his heart raising a hint of vigilance. Although he had experienced many tests in secret realms before, he had never encountered such a strong suppression. It was obvious that this valley was arranged with an extremely complex array, deliberately weakening the strength of those who entered. He dared not be careless and immediately sat cross-legged, attempting to mobilize the spiritual energy within his body. After a moment of effort, Lin Tian finally confirmed that although this suppression was powerful, it was not impossible to break. He operated the "Xuan Tian Zhen Jie", adjusting the flow of spiritual energy in a unique way, and slowly found some gaps in the suppression, gradually restoring the normal operation of the spiritual energy. "Sure enough." Lin Tian's heart slightly relaxed, but he did not completely relax his vigilance. He knew that the suppressive force in this valley was only the beginning of the test, and every step next would be even more dangerous. He collected his thoughts, stood up, and continued to move deeper into the valley. The black fog in the valley became denser, gradually blocking Lin Tian's sight as if entering an endless darkness. Occasionally, a cold wind blew, making his skin tingle slightly, as if countless pairs of eyes were peeping at him in the dark. "This place is really not simple." Lin Tian secretly guarded in his heart, slowed his pace, and carefully explored in the black fog. He knew that in such a strange environment, any negligence could bring fatal danger. After walking in the valley for about half an hour, Lin Tian suddenly stopped. He felt an extremely weak fluctuation of spiritual energy in the black fog ahead, as if hiding some dangerous existence. He concentrated and held his breath, extending his divine sense to try to explore the situation in the black fog. However, it seemed that there was some kind of force in the black fog that blocked his divine sense, making him unable to explore further. This situation made Lin Tian feel a bit uneasy, but he did not stop because of this but moved forward more carefully. Suddenly, Lin Tian felt a cold breath behind him. He quickly turned around and sacrificed a flying sword in his hand. The sword light flashed, pointing directly at the darkness behind. A black shadow pounced out of the black fog like lightning, so fast that it was unexpected. Lin Tian was well-prepared. The flying sword suddenly stabbed forward, and the tip of the sword hit the black shadow right in the middle. With a "chi" sound, the black shadow was actually pierced through by the sword light and turned into a wisp of black fog that dissipated in the air. Lin Tian's heart shuddered. The flying sword danced again, vigilantly scanning the surroundings. However, there was no other movement in the black fog, as if everything just now was just an illusion. "This valley is really not simple." Lin Tian secretly warned in his heart. He understood that although the black shadow was repelled just now, the crisis in this valley was far from being lifted. Sure enough, not long after he continued moving forward, the black fog around suddenly became wild, as if countless black shadows were wandering in it. These black shadows sometimes approached and sometimes moved away, as if waiting for the best time to launch an attack. Lin Tian infused spiritual energy into the flying sword, making the sword light brighter and dispersing some of the black fog around. However, those black shadows still wandered in the dark, as if they might pounce at any time. "Can't be passive like this anymore." Lin Tian had an idea and decided to take the initiative. He joined his hands to form seals and silently recited spells. With the surging of spiritual energy, a blazing flame suddenly erupted from his hand and quickly turned into a wall of fire, forcing back the black shadows around. The high temperature of the flame dispersed the black fog, and the black shadows also retreated. But Lin Tian did not relax his vigilance. He knew that these black shadows were only part of the crisis in the valley, and the real danger might still be ahead. Lin Tian continued to move deeper into the valley. The black fog around gradually became thinner, but the unease in his heart became more intense. He felt that there seemed to be an extremely powerful force waiting quietly ahead, as if it was a huge net, ready to completely swallow him. Finally, he came to an open area. The black fog suddenly disappeared here, revealing a huge and complex array. The runes of the array were ancient and complex, as if containing infinite power. Lin Tian felt that this array seemed to be closely related to everything in the valley. It could even be said that all the crises in this valley were triggered by this array. "Is this... the Sealing Array?" Lin Tian stared at the array, his heart slightly shaking. He had read about this array in ancient books before. It was rumored that it was a means used by ancient powerful figures to seal powerful existences. This array could not only suppress the sealed power but also suppress all external spiritual energy. "The suppressive force in this valley is probably triggered by this Sealing Array." Lin Tian speculated secretly. He knew that this array not only suppressed the flow of spiritual energy in the valley but might also seal some powerful existence. However, passing through this array was obviously not an easy thing. Lin Tian carefully observed every detail of the array, trying to find its weakness. However, this array was extremely perfect and seemed to have no flaws that could be exploited. Lin Tian couldn't help feeling a bit impatient. He knew that if he couldn't break this array, he would not be able to move forward. And staying in this dangerous valley for too long was obviously not a wise choice. Just as Lin Tian was thinking of a countermeasure, the array suddenly vibrated violently, as if sensing his existence.Immediately after, countless black rays shot out from the array, directly aiming at Lin Tian. Lin Tian was shocked and immediately used his body technique to quickly dodge. However, those black rays followed him closely, their speed astonishing. Lin Tian had to fully operate his spiritual energy and use the Dark Nether True Fire to protect his body, trying to block these attacks. "Boom!" The black rays hit the flame, making a loud noise. Lin Tian only felt a huge force coming, and his body involuntarily took several steps back. His heart sank, knowing that the power of this array was extremely powerful, far beyond his imagination. "Can't be beaten passively like this!" Lin Tian gritted his teeth in his heart and decided to attack instead of defending. He quickly mobilized the spiritual energy within his body, joined his hands to form seals again, and pushed the Dark Nether True Fire to the extreme. A blazing flame turned into a fire dragon and fiercely rushed towards the core of the array. However, just as the flame was about to touch the core of the array, a powerful counterattack force suddenly burst out from the array. This force came like a tide, instantly annihilating the flame.Immediately after, countless black rays shot out from the array again, directly pouncing at Lin Tian. Lin Tian was greatly shocked and immediately fully mobilized his spiritual energy, trying to resist this attack. However, those black rays were extremely fast, almost approaching him in an instant. Lin Tian only felt that everything went dark in front of him, as if everything was coming to an end. At this critical moment, a strange force suddenly emerged from within Lin Tian's body. This force directly ran through his entire body, as if pulling him back from the verge of death. Lin Tian was astonished to find that the spiritual energy within his body actually recovered rapidly under the effect of this force, even purer than before. "This... This is..." Lin Tian was extremely surprised in his heart. He realized that this force did not come from himself but from the inheritance he obtained from the stone tablet before! With the surging of this force, Lin Tian felt a subtle connection with the surrounding array, as if he could perceive every tiny change in the array. He immediately seized this opportunity, concentrating all his spiritual energy at one point, and fiercely bombarding the weak point of the array. "Boom!" Accompanied by a loud noise, a crack was actually forcibly torn in the core of the array. The black rays suddenly disappeared, and the power of the array also rapidly weakened. Lin Tian heaved a sigh of relief. However, he did not relax his vigilance but immediately continued to launch attacks along the crack of the array. After a fierce struggle, the array was finally completely broken, turning into countless light spots and dissipating in the air. With the collapse of the array, the black fog in the valley quickly dissipated, and the suppressive force around also disappeared without a trace. Lin Tian finally felt that the spiritual energy within his body returned to normal, and he felt like being reborn. "This array was so dangerous..." Lin Tian looked at the remains of the collapsed array with lingering fear, knowing that he almost died here just now. He secretly congratulated himself on obtaining the power of the inheritance from the stone tablet. Otherwise, he would not have been able to break through this difficult hurdle. However, Lin Tian was not satisfied because of this. He knew that the crisis in the valley was not over, and the front was still full of unknown challenges. After breaking the array, Lin Tian continued to move deeper into the valley. Not far ahead, he saw an ancient stone platform, and a very strong fluctuation of spiritual energy emanated from the stone platform. "Could it be..." Lin Tian's heart stirred and immediately quickened his pace, arriving in front of the stone platform. There was a simple and ancient spiritual artifact suspended in the center of the stone platform. The surface of this spiritual artifact was inlaid with countless complex runes, as if carrying endless history. Lin Tian could feel that this spiritual artifact contained extremely powerful force, even much stronger than all the spiritual artifacts he had encountered before. "The power of this spiritual artifact is so strong..." Lin Tian exclaimed in his heart. He knew that if he could refine this spiritual artifact, his strength would be greatly enhanced. However, Lin Tian did not rush to act. He knew that such a spiritual artifact was often accompanied by great danger. A little carelessness might lead to unpredictable consequences. He carefully observed the environment around the spiritual artifact and found that the fluctuation of spiritual energy here was extremely stable, and there seemed to be no restrictions or traps set. But Lin Tian still remained highly vigilant and slowly reached out his hand, attempting to touch the spiritual artifact. Just as his finger was about to touch the spiritual artifact, the spiritual artifact suddenly burst out a strong light, and a powerful force emerged from it, wrapping Lin Tian inside. Lin Tian only felt his vision blur, and then felt that his body was pulled by a strong suction force, as if entering a brand new world. When he opened his eyes again, he found that he was actually in a radiant inner world. This inner world was filled with endless spiritual energy and runes, as if it was a world completely composed of spiritual energy. "Is this... the inner world of the spiritual artifact?" Lin Tian was extremely astonished in his heart. He understood that he had entered the core area of this spiritual artifact. And only by passing the test here could he truly control the power of this spiritual artifact. However, the fluctuation of spiritual energy in the inner world was extremely complex, as if containing countless dangers. Lin Tian took a deep breath and quickly operated the "Xuan Tian Zhen Jie" to adjust his spiritual energy to the best state, preparing to meet the upcoming test. The runes in the inner world began to flow slowly, as if hinting at something. Lin Tian carefully observed the changes of these runes, trying to find the pattern. However, as the runes gradually changed, the fluctuation of spiritual energy in the inner world became more and more intense, as if a huge storm was coming. Lin Tian's heart shuddered, knowing that the test was about to begin. He did not dare to be negligent and quickly formed seals, condensing the Dark Nether True Fire in the palm of his hand, ready to deal with possible dangers at any time. Finally, the fluctuation of spiritual energy in the inner world reached its peak, and a blazing light suddenly burst out from the runes, directly rushing towards Lin Tian. Lin Tian did not dare to be careless and immediately sacrificed the Dark Nether True Fire, trying to block the impact of this force. However, that light seemed to have endless power and instantly defeated the Dark Nether True Fire, directly approaching Lin Tian's body. Lin Tian felt a huge pressure coming, almost crushing him completely. At this critical moment, the spiritual energy within Lin Tian surged again, quickly forming a wonderful resonance with the spiritual energy of the inner world. This resonance seemed to integrate him with the entire inner world, making the huge pressure instantly weaken. "Is this... the recognition of the spiritual artifact?" Lin Tian was extremely surprised. He did not expect to obtain the recognition of the spiritual artifact at this critical moment. With the gradual increase of the resonance in the inner world, Lin Tian felt that his spiritual energy was greatly enhanced, as if a breakthrough was imminent. And the power of that spiritual artifact also gradually integrated into his body, becoming part of his cultivation. When the light in the inner world gradually dissipated, Lin Tian found that he had returned to the valley, and that spiritual artifact was quietly suspended in front of him, as if waiting for him to put it away.
