"Splash!"
Qin Xuan burst out of the water, leaping towards the outside!
"Splash!"
Water splashed in all directions.
"Whew!"
Exhaling, Qin Xuan looked around, a bit dazed.
"What's going on?"
Looking at the entrance of the Ancient Well before him, Qin Xuan had no idea what was happening.
"Didn't I clearly dive into the bottom of the Ancient Well? How did I come out from here again?"
Looking at the Ancient Well before him, Qin Xuan truly couldn't figure it out.
Unlike the Ancient Well at the bottom of the lake, this Ancient Well was also full of water, but outside the well was a scene of beautiful mountains and clear waters.
The surroundings were bathed in bright sunlight, with lush green grass, looking like a fairyland on earth.
"It seems this Ancient Well is indeed the entrance to the relic!"
Little White jumped out of Qin Xuan's embrace, looked around, and then spoke, looking forward.
"The entrance to the relic? What do you mean?"
Qin Xuan was a bit confused and quickly asked.
Hearing this, Little White began to explain.
"It's simple. This Ancient Well connects the outside world to where this relic is located."
"Did you notice that at first, you were diving downwards into the Ancient Well, but at some point, your direction of swimming changed to upwards?"
Hearing this, Qin Xuan pondered for a moment and nodded slightly.
Indeed, at first, he was swimming downwards, as if falling into an abyss.
But at a certain moment in the Ancient Well, he, who had been constantly falling, began to swim upwards.
"The center of the Ancient Well has the entrance to this relic. The moment you cross the Ancient Well, you can arrive here at the relic."
Little White said, then looked around.
"That's right, this is how this Sect on Luo Feng Mountain was originally meant to be."
Saying this, Little White looked around with some nostalgia.
"This Sect always hung the wings of the Heavenly Phoenix they slayed outside their Sect's mountain gate. Everyone who came to visit here would come to pay their respects."
Hearing this, Qin Xuan nodded slightly.
It was clear that Little White knew a lot about this place.
"Next, where should we go? You should know this, right?"
Qin Xuan looked at Little White.
"Of course, follow me, I'll take you!"
Little White said triumphantly, then dashed forward.
Qin Xuan tapped his toes and followed suit.
Little White's speed was indeed very fast.
However, compared to Qin Xuan's extreme speed, it was not enough.
Soon, Qin Xuan picked up Little White and threw him back onto his shoulder.
"Just show me the way!"
Little White was not polite either, and immediately began to direct him forward.
In the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, Qin Xuan arrived before a Mountain Peak. Looking at this Mountain Peak, Qin Xuan raised his eyebrows.
"This mountain looks exactly like the Main Peak of Qixia Sect."
Hearing this, Little White nodded.
"Of course it's the same, because these few Mountain Peaks of Qixia Sect were originally within the sphere of influence of this Sect. However, when this Sect was at its peak, the area within ten thousand miles around here was their territory. This is not something Qixia Sect can compare to now."
"Now, let's go up the mountain. What I want is up there!"
Little White said with burning eyes, signaling Qin Xuan to rush up.
Qin Xuan nodded and immediately stepped onto the stone steps, heading upwards.
However, just as he was about to step onto the second stone step, he suddenly frowned in surprise.
"What's wrong?"
Seeing Qin Xuan's expression change erratically, Little White immediately asked.
Taking a deep breath, Qin Xuan continued to step forward. After walking more than ten steps in one go, he stopped.
"This place isn't right!"
Hearing this, Little White scratched his head strangely.
"Not right? How is it not right? Tell me!"
Qin Xuan pointed to his feet.
"Every step I take now, I feel a huge pressure on my body, and the higher I go, the greater the pressure!"
Qin Xuan frowned. If this trend continued, the more he advanced, the greater the pressure he would experience.
He looked up at the hundreds of stone steps ahead, and Qin Xuan couldn't help but feel his scalp tingle.
He was really not sure if he could reach the end.
"That shouldn't be the case. Last time when I came with that Great Figure, we weren't affected at all!"
Little White extended his paw and rubbed his head.
"Last time, did that Great Figure also carry you up?"
Qin Xuan asked Little White.
Little White nodded.
"That Great Figure just waved his hand, and then he took me to the top of the mountain. It didn't seem to take much effort."
Hearing this, Qin Xuan rolled his eyes.
Although he had some strength now, he was far from being comparable to those powerful individuals.
Of course, he couldn't just wave his hand and cross so many stone steps.
This was an absolute gap in strength and Realm, not something he could achieve with a casual lift of his hand.
"Since your strength isn't enough, then just keep moving forward. In any case, there's no other way."
Little White squinted at Qin Xuan.
"So unconvinced? Then you walk yourself?"
Qin Xuan said, raising his hand to throw him to the ground.
Hearing this, Little White quickly shrank his head, not daring to speak.
Taking a deep breath, Qin Xuan continued forward.
With every step he took, Qin Xuan could feel the pressure around his body becoming stronger and stronger.
Enduring this pressure, Qin Xuan continued to advance.
"Taihuang Aura!"
Qin Xuan enveloped himself with Taihuang Aura to reduce the pressure he was experiencing.
His physique was already a Chaotic Body, and with so much Taihuang Aura assisting him, there should be no problem.
As the Taihuang Aura enveloped Qin Xuan, the pressure Qin Xuan felt immediately eased significantly.
However, even so, when he advanced several hundred stone steps, his pace still slowed down.
Nothing else, the pressure around him was simply too great.
By this time, Qin Xuan was already struggling to bear it.
"This place is a bit too terrifying."
Qin Xuan gasped, looking at the hundreds of stone steps remaining above with a hint of speechlessness.
He had heard Little White say it was easy before, but now, he realized how difficult it was to persist on these stone steps.
"Is there no way? I saw that Great Figure do it very easily before."
Little White said suspiciously.
Hearing this, Qin Xuan threw Little White to the ground, then stared coldly at her.
"You talk a good game, try it yourself."
Hearing this, Little White snorted coldly, and very human-like, raised his head and looked at Qin Xuan disdainfully.
"It's just a few stone steps, what's there to talk about."
Saying that, he tentatively took a step forward.
"Thud!"
Little White was directly pressed to the ground, unable to move.
"Damn it, how is this possible!"
Little White struggled in a panic, but the pressure on the ground made it almost impossible for him to lift his body.
