Deep within the great hall.
Ye Xuan had followed the Saint's bones all the way to the deepest part of the hall, where he caught sight of a mysterious stone pool, its waters a peculiar milky white, shimmering brightly.
Both the Saint's bones and Ling Qianxue had plunged directly into the stone pool, jumping in and immediately causing a startling splash.
Seeing this, Ye Xuan hurriedly rushed forward, only to be stopped by a barrier surrounding the pool.
"What is this?"
Ye Xuan was startled as his palm touched the barrier, only to be immediately repelled, a strong force pushing him back.
Clang!
Drawing the Rain Saint Sword, Ye Xuan slashed fiercely at the barrier, but the result was merely a shower of sparks, utterly useless.
"Stop attacking. This barrier cannot be broken by your power."
At that moment, the voice of the Human Emperor's Scepter suddenly reached him.
"So I can only stand by and watch?"
Ye Xuan's eyes darkened slightly.
