The man stood beneath this lamppost and turned to take the Empress’s hand.

"Fair lady, look, this is the Qingling rare treasure, the Golden Scale Stone."

The woman lowered her head to glance at the dazzling crystal stone on the lampstand.

She gently stroked her graceful hair, revealing a worried expression.

"Where did the King obtain this treasure?"

"Hehehe."

The man chuckled without answering, then wrapped his arm around the woman’s slender waist and started leading her to a bed within the store.

The servants behind them waited quietly at their previous positions.

Once the two of them sat down, the man finally began to speak.

This stone contains a surge of Innate Primordial Power, with infinite energy gathered within it.

"By placing this object here, as long as I absorb a little each day, it will greatly enhance my cultivation. On the day my divine skill is perfected, I will surely personally deal with the traitor Fan Yong."

The man’s words were earnest, and he spoke with extreme hatred when mentioning Fan Yong.

Lin Feng watched everything before him, yet he seemed as though he wasn’t in the same world as them, able only to stand invisibly without touching anyone or anything here.

Then, a maid, carrying a bowl, walked gracefully toward the regal couple. Her demeanor was very humble, head slightly bowed, displaying great etiquette.

"Empress, have some bird’s nest soup."

The woman saw the bowl of bird’s nest soup brought by the maid, her expression soft and gentle.

"Come, let me feed you," the King said.

The man took the bowl from the maid’s hands, picked up a spoon, and began to feed the woman.

The woman parted her rosy lips slightly, sipping the soup that the man fed her.

Their eyes conveyed emotions, and every smile and frown was incredibly infectious.

Watching this deeply affectionate scene, Lin Feng couldn’t help but think back to himself, recalling his own woman, and feeling a pang of sadness in his heart. Though it was just a brief moment, it felt like an eternity had passed.

Suddenly, the scene restored to how it was when he first entered. Lin Feng, still immersed in the beautiful moment before, wanted to know what would happen next between the couple, but just at this critical moment, his curiosity was abruptly left hanging. This left Lin Feng feeling quite depressed.

Then Lin Feng, pulling himself from the previous scene, saw an entrance leading underground. This entrance was located just beneath the bed where the couple had been sitting earlier.

Although a bit surprised, Lin Feng controlled himself.

He hurriedly rushed down toward the entrance...

Inside the entrance, he could see flickering firelight, clearly illuminating the surroundings, indicating whether to change direction.

The entrance was not a straightforward descent; it twisted and turned, continuously leading entrants in circles.

As Lin Feng walked along the stairs, he couldn’t reach the bottom. He found the stairway’s structure puzzling.

He then stopped, closed his eyes, and began to seriously contemplate.

At this moment, Hua Shengmi also sensed the oddity within, and told Lin Feng: "Everything here is beyond our control, like traversing an endless desert relying solely on perceived direction; no matter how far you walk, you’ll end up back at the start."

Hua Shengmi’s words were clear, indicating to Lin Feng that despite their progression, they hadn’t reached the bottom because, by exactly following the stairway’s path, they had fallen into a trap within.

"I’ve heard that in the secluded Immortal Realm, there’s something called the Enchanting Path, which one can never escape. Could this be it?"

Lin Feng whispered softly.

Hua Shengmi immediately recalled something.

"I understand now; this is the Enchanting Stairs. It uses a peculiar trick to deceive the eyes of those who enter. People typically judge their direction based on visual input, and this Enchanting Stairs manipulates that by creating subtle visual errors, making us believe we’re descending when we’re actually circling."

With Hua Shengmi’s explanation reaching this point, Lin Feng realized the truth, prompting him to ask Hua Shengmi how to break this array.

Hua Shengmi, though knowledgeable, hadn’t thought of a way to break through.

Thus, Lin Feng was left to figure out his way.

With a thought, Lin Feng used the Void Technique, but still failed to escape.

He then deployed his spiritual sense to explore, stretching it forth to find a way out.

Suddenly, Lin Feng felt his spiritual sense touch a barrier and bounce back.

"My spiritual sense bounced back," Lin Feng said calmly.

Hua Shengmi speculated that an ancient prohibition must be in place here.

Lin Feng then summoned his Demon Suppressing Sword, moving toward where his spiritual sense had hit the barrier.

Though Lin Feng’s spiritual sense didn’t find a way through, it inadvertently triggered a prohibition present here during its search.

He summoned his Demon Suppressing Sword, which could, through its power, channel the user’s spiritual energy to release a Sword Intent capable of breaking prohibitions.
