This hoarse voice seemed to be echoing directly in her mind, Qin Lingyun turned her head silently and glanced at Mei Han San You, who didn't have an overly surprised expression.

  "Hey, little girl, I'm talking to you, stop looking around and pay attention. Don't look around anymore, let me tell you, except for you, those three fools can't hear a thing." The old man's voice seemed somewhat displeased.

  Qin Lingyun looked around, not only to observe the expressions of Mei Han and his friends, but also to see if she could find out where the speaker was. As a result, she naturally gained nothing. Since this person said that Mei Han and his friends couldn't hear him, he should be telling the truth.

  "Senior, where are you?" Qin Lingyun deliberately lowered her voice so that Mei Han and the others couldn't hear it. In response to this sudden voice, she decided to be polite, lest she provoke this unknown existence.

  "Haha, can't find me, huh? I'm right in front of you, little girl. Tell those three fools behind you to scram, there are some things I need to discuss with you privately."

  Qin Lingyun thought for a moment and then turned around, saying: "Mei Han San You, the three of you temporarily return to the valley and wait for me to come back."

  Mei Han San You saw Qin Lingyun's unyielding gaze and reluctantly retreated behind the gray mist. They worried that Qin Lingyun would single-handedly break through the Wan Zhen Law Array, and then leave alone like that. However, this was also an unavoidable situation, as Qin Lingyun was much stronger than them, and not following her words might result in immediate annihilation.

  Waiting until Mei Han's three friends had left, Qin Lingyun slowly said: "Senior, can you come out now?"

  "Three annoying fools have left, I am inside the stone monument in front of you. As long as you split open the outer layer, I can come out." The old voice seemed somewhat impatient.

  Qin Lingyun did not split the stone stele as the ancient voice had said, but instead calmly asked: "Senior, how can I guarantee that you won't harm me after you come out?" She wasn't foolish enough to immediately believe the voice inside the stele. In the cultivation world, many cultivators fell because of carelessness, and Qin Lingyun didn't want to repeat their mistakes.

  The old man's voice was somewhat angry, saying: "I will go to harm you this little girl. If it weren't for the fact that you are an Ice Spirit Root and have not fully cultivated the Ice Jade True Magic, I wouldn't even snort, let alone let you go to the Wan Lian Law Array to die."

  That old voice unexpectedly saw that she had an Ice Spirit Root, and even said that she had cultivated the Ice Jade True Magic Technique. Qin Lingyun was somewhat surprised: "I have only cultivated two techniques, one of which is the basic Water System technique, Huishui Jue, and the other is Bingjing Mojue, where did this Ice Jade True Magic Technique come from?"

  "What? Little girl, don't deceive people! You clearly cultivated the Ice Jade True Devil's Technique, what's this about an Ice Crystal Demon Body? I'm afraid someone has deceived you!"

  "Whether it's called Ice Crystal Magic Body or Ice Jade True Magic, there's no big difference, just a different name. You, the senior on the stone tablet, what benefits do I get from releasing you? If there are no benefits, I won't do it." Qin Lingyun's lips curled up slightly with a smile.

  "What benefits? Of course, I'll give you the greatest benefits, release me and in the future, you will be the master of the Ice Jade Demon Palace. The benefits are boundless, do you know that?" The old man's voice sounded somewhat complacent.

  "Ice Jade Demon Palace? Never heard of it..."

  The old voice scolded: "Little girl, you have no knowledge, don't even know the Ice Jade Demon Palace. This is the number one sect of Da Yue Xing, not only controlling the entire Tian Yue continent of Da Yue Xing, but also the sea domain's demonic beasts dare not oppose it."

  "Qin Lingyun asked: 'How long have you been inside the stone tablet?'"

  "The old voice hesitated: 'Probably over ten thousand years.'"

  "It's been over ten thousand years, and the vast ocean can become a mulberry field. What Ice Jade Magic Palace probably doesn't exist anymore, right? Now on the mainland, there are numerous sects standing tall, and among the strongest few sects, not even one has the name of Ice Jade Magic Palace." Qin Lingyun said with a hint of mockery, she didn't even call him senior anymore. In her heart, she thought that the old guy inside the stone stele was probably an antique, foolishly thinking that Ice Jade Magic Palace was still the number one sect in Da Yue after all these years had passed.

  After that, no more voices came from the stone monument, and the whole scene fell silent. After a long time, an old voice finally let out a sigh: "The Ice Jade Demon Palace is gone, what's the point of me going out..."

  The old voice continued: "Originally, I wanted to take you with me and leave this Void Heaven Palace together. At that time, the inheritance of the Ice Jade Demon Palace's sect would have been passed down, but now that the Ice Jade Demon Palace is gone, there's no point in leaving either. I might as well just stay inside the stone tablet." The voice was filled with an unspeakable desolation and gradually fell silent.

  Qin Lingyun was taken aback. She hadn't expected her words to make the old antique inside the stone monument think irrationally and refuse to come out.

  She only then knew that this was a place called Xū Tiān Diàn, and if she wanted to leave, she would have to go through the Wàn Rèn Fǎ Zhèn ahead. However, that old antique had said before that if she were to charge into the Wàn Rèn Fǎ Zhèn, it would be seeking death on her own part. Nevertheless, the old antique seemed to know how to leave Xū Tiān Diàn.

  "Elder, if you're willing to leave, then so be it. Can you tell me the way out of Xū Tiān Temple?" Qin Lingyun said.

  But the stone slab was silent, and there was no response at all. Qin Lingyun continued to probe, but no matter what she said, inside the stone slab it remained calm and quiet, without a single sound. This made Qin Lingyun's mouth dry with anger, and she shouted: "Old man, whether the Ice Jade Demon Palace exists or not is none of my business! Even if it doesn't exist, you can just recreate one yourself after you get out!"

  "Little girl, this is what you said, not what I forced you to do. From now on, the heavy responsibility of opening the Ice Jade Magic Palace will be handed over to you." The old voice suddenly rang out.

  Qin Lingyun did not expect this old antique to be so cunning, it seemed that the desolate words just now were also fake, she said slowly: "I didn't say I would help you establish the Ice Jade Demon Palace after I spread the word."

  An aged voice said, "A fair deal. I'll take you away from the Void Heaven Palace and you help me establish the Ice Jade Demon Palace. You should know that without my guidance, you would never be able to leave the Void Heaven Palace and will ultimately die here."

  "What is the Xū Tiān Temple anyway?" Qin Lingyun couldn't help but ask.

  "Yu Tian Temple, ten thousand years ago, in my time, was a very mysterious existence. Inside, the restrictions were heavy, even if it was an old monster who had condensed his dan, he might have fallen within. Now, I won't tell you clearly, just know that this Wan Lian Fa array and the mountain valley behind are one of the most treacherous places, called Jue Tian Valley. At least two Dan condensing cultivators fell in the Wan Jian Fa array, and you, little girl, are only at the 8th layer of Qi refining. This level of cultivation is not seeking death, what is it?"

  Qin Lingyun said: "But those three cultivators have entered the Wan Jian Fa array many times in the past six years without incident."

  The hoary voice sneered, "Those three fools only took a few steps into the Wan Blade Formation before retreating. They didn't even exceed one hundred steps; it's impossible for them to have encountered any killing intent."

  Qin Lingyu thought for a moment, then finally said: "Alright, I agree to your fair trade, but you must swear on your own heart's demon that you won't harm me, won't do anything unfavorable to me, and everything you say is the truth. Of course, I will also make an oath to my own heart's demon."

  "I didn't expect you to be so careful, it's good that you are, or else you wouldn't live long in the cultivation world, haha." The old voice followed with a chuckle.

  Qin Lingyun finally put her mind at ease, and after making a vow to her heart demon, she patted her storage bag, and a black light flew out, striking the stone tablet.
