the Buddha Sect cannot stand idly by. They just lacked a suitable opportunity until now. With Lu Xiaottian's appearance, the opportunity presented itself. It was almost inevitable that the Buddha Sect..."Perhaps we should forget about it." Lu Xia Tian hesitated for a moment before giving up the idea of an adventurous expedition. If it were just him, that would be fine, but this time, Lou Yikong and Fu Lian Yue were also accompanying him. Not to mention Wen Ting Feng and his sister, who also had significant backgrounds, though perhaps slightly less impressive than the previous two.
Lu Xiaoxian, although invited to travel with a few others, in theory, even if there were casualties, Lu Xiaoxian wouldn't be held responsible. But theory is one thing, and reality is another. If he were the only one returning, he probably wouldn't be absorbed back into Yuxuan Heavenly Court. Staying here long-term was also unrealistic. The Faming Immortal Tree wasn't fixed in one place. The fluctuating power of its laws wasn't always overwhelming. Once Yuxuan Heavenly Court stopped protecting him, given his grudge with Honghao Heavenly Court, the chances of escaping their pursuit wouldn't be high.
Moreover, he is currently acquainted with Lou Yikong and Fu Lianyue. While they aren't close friends, people aren't wood or stone. After spending time together, even if Lu Xiaoteng didn't consider them as life-and-death comrades, he wouldn't stand idly by while they perished easily.
"Well, there's no other way. We can only act according to our past experience and see how things go. At this point, we're extremely close to the Fa Mirror Immortal Tree. To cross this final barrier, besides needing to persevere and repeatedly explore, we also need a bit of luck." Nie Qiantong spread her hands, acknowledging that there were no easy solutions. She wanted to avoid danger but also wanted to obtain the treasure as quickly as possible – a wish that was unrealistic for anyone. However, Nie Qiantong didn't think that staying here and continuing to search for ways to approach the Fa Mirror Immortal Tree was a bad choice either.
Even traveling with a powerful warrior like Lu Xiaoteng, Nie Qiantong still wasn't sure if they could safely pass through that dangerous place. But if Lu Xiaoteng was willing to go, Nie Qiantong thought it would be worth a try.
While Nie Qian Tong's mind raced, she and Lu Xiao Tian had already changed locations several times. Along the way, they left behind clues for Mu Xia, Wen Tingfeng, and others to follow. This way, if anything happened to them, the others could track them down.
Mu Xia's removal of the Xianshen Ma Teng from her body was much slower. Wen Tingfeng and others could have gone to find the Fa Jingxian tree, but since Lu Xia Tian and Nie Qian Tong went, leaving them behind wasn't without its meaning - it was a form of protection for Mu Xia.
Fu Lianyue and Wen Tingyu both felt a bit unhappy about this. However, they couldn't say anything since Lu Xiaottian had made the arrangement. On one hand, Mu Xia played a significant role in the previous battle against the Demon Vine Spirit. More importantly, even if they were unhappy with Mu Xia's inclusion, they had to obey Lu Xiaottian's orders.
In the blink of an eye, several years had passed. During this time, Lu Xia Tian and Qu Qian Tong returned several times, and Mu Xia’s removal of the Xianshen Demon Vine from her body was nearing its end.
Half a month after parting ways with Lu Xiaotian and the others, Lu Xiaotian and Nie Qian Tong each stood on a cloud of mist. Nie Qian Tong was slightly surprised. In front of them, a mountain formed from a sheet of glass twisted like liquid, faintly reflecting the shadow of the mirror-like immortal tree.
“Eastern Saint of the Orient, we’ve been patrolling this area for some time now. The aura of the Dharma Mirror Immortal Tree is the strongest we've encountered so far. If we can find a way to pass through this mountain made of liquid glass, perhaps it's the Dharma Mirror Immortal Tree.” Nie Qian Tong's expression was full of excitement. After enduring countless hardships and dangers along the way, they finally had hope of reaching their target.
Lu XiaTian nodded lightly and swallowed, but he didn't move directly.
"Eastern Divine Saint, if you don't make a move now, once this Glass Mountain disappears, we might not have such a good opportunity again." Seeing the Glass Mountain getting smaller and smaller, Nie Qian Tong couldn't help but look anxious.
“No rush.” Lu Xiaoteng naturally knew this truth. Perhaps because he was closer to the Fa Jing Xian Shu, Lu Xiaoteng inexplicably felt that the sense of familiarity seemed stronger than before. The law power here didn't seem as repulsive to him as before. Lu Xiaoteng couldn't say why, this was his first time looking for the Fa Jing Xian Shu, and he couldn't explain the origin of the familiarity. Maybe it was because he had cultivated near the Fa Jing Xian Shu for a while, and his own cultivation power was relatively close to that of the Fa Jing Xian Shu.
In the past, Lu Xiaoteng's projection avatars had hovered around the area near the Faji Xian Shu tree for a while. However, at that time, his projection avatars were extremely weak, and many dangers were avoided as much as possible. Besides a few incredibly dangerous areas, his knowledge of the surroundings was relatively limited. There was nothing he could provide as a reference at this time. However, if Lu Xiaoteng were to encounter a large enemy force pursuing him, as long as he wasn't completely surrounded or too far away, he wouldn't be unable to lead them into dangerous areas for a gamble.
He couldn't pinpoint the source of the familiar feeling, but Lu Xia Tian wouldn't let it stop him. Reaching out, he sent a thread of immortal energy forward, not intending to attack the Glass Mountain with brute force. At this moment, the immortal energy he released from his body wouldn't be able to inflict much damage at all.

In Nie Qian Tong's astonished gaze, Lu Xiao Tian released his power outwards. It was constantly being crushed by the surrounding laws of power, but Lu Xiao Tian was enjoying himself immensely, repeatedly attempting this over and over again.
“Could it be that the Eastern Saint of Alchemy found a way through this Glass Mountain” Nie Qiantong was startled. In fact, she didn't have much time to wonder. After being crushed dozens of times in succession, Lu Xia Tian released his immortal essence outside his body, imbued with the power of law, and had already penetrated into the Glass Mountain.

Suddenly, the Glass Mountain shone with a brilliant light. It then began to shake violently. Before long, with a series of cracking sounds, a passage opened up. On the other side of the passage, there were towering trees and white cranes soaring through the sky, a scene of pure earthly paradise.

“Found it!” Nie Qiantong’s body trembled inexplicably. After a thousand turns and twists, she finally found it.
“Let's go, this passage won't last long.” Lu Xia Tian frowned. Originally, he wanted to take Lou Yi Kong and the others in together, but the passage wasn't fixed, and opportunities were rare. Lu Xia Tian could only enter with Nie Qian Tong first. He would see if they could assist Mu Xia and the others in coming in later.
After leaving a mark on the outside, Lu Xiaoteng and Nie Qian Tong stepped inside the channel.
Once he crossed the passage, the Glass Mountain behind him closed shut. Lu Xiaoteng tried to blend his fairy essence with the power of laws and pour it into the Glass Mountain. He quickly found a familiar feeling and discovered that opening the passage from the inside was even easier. Lu Xiaoteng felt a little relieved. When he turned around, what lay before him was a scene of lush greenery and a bright blue sky.
The lush trees towered high, resembling pine trees with numerous platform-like branches. One could often see white cranes and various other birds resting on them.
Furthermore, one can also see various monsters, beasts running on tree trunks as thick as mountains.ke this ferocious and extreme demonic energy.The heavily wounded Gāi Yǎn demon tribe, besieged and at their wit's end, found a glimmer of hope.
