"Hmm?"

Wang Ye looked up with a hint of confusion at Zhou Xuan Ying's words, glancing toward Zhou Xuan Ying.

Unremarkable?

Even if you pass by the relic, you might not necessarily feel its presence?

Impossible!

It's a relic, after all!

And within relics, there are inheritances and treasures to be found.

Seeing Wang Ye's obvious disbelief, Zhou Xuan Ying explained with a bit of resignation, "Think about it, if it were an obvious relic, it would have already been discovered."

"So a relic that hasn't been found until now must be unremarkable."

"At this time, whoever finds the relic will have a significant opportunity."

Wang Ye nodded at Zhou Xuan Ying's words.

He understood now.

Previously, Wang Ye imagined relics to be grand and majestic, so in his mind, he conceived relics as also being grand.

But now, thinking clearly...

Relics are much like tombs.

Inside a tomb, the buried items are incredibly valuable and precious, but essentially, it's just a tomb.

Furthermore, relics, in terms of classification, mostly are just places the predecessors trained without noticing the passage of time, coupled with their inability to rapidly improve their strength, leading to their death.

In such cases, these predecessors naturally didn't have the mind to beautify the entrance of the relic from the beginning.

As training grounds, these predecessors often wished not to be noticed.

Otherwise, anyone who could see there was someone around might enter directly, kill, and plunder.

Even disturb others in their training.

Various possibilities exist.

Many cultivators are actually quite like students on Earth Star; if they can't learn or understand, when they see the top students studying, they'll think of disturbing them, interfering, not wanting the top students to learn this knowledge.

Thus, relics are generally hard to find.

Reflecting a bit, Wang Ye quickly grasped the logic.

Together with Zhou Xuan Ying, stepping into the relic, the moment Wang Ye and Zhou Xuan Ying entered, their bodies were instantly suspended, as if an invisible force from below was pulling them up.

"No rush, this is how it starts in this relic, look down."

Zhou Xuan Ying's voice rang near Wang Ye's ear.

Following Zhou Xuan Ying's words, Wang Ye glanced downward.

Below, it was like a cliff with no visible bottom, filled only with a white abyss, but instead, it felt like being in the sky, except they were upside down.

Very high above the ground.

That was the conclusion Wang Ye reached.

Yet, Wang Ye showed no sign of fear.

On Earth Star, with his strength, flying was the simplest thing, although he'd never reached such a height, he was quite immune to such scenes due to his frequent ascents.

Zhou Xuan Ying observed Wang Ye's expression and, seeing Wang Ye glancing down without any trace of fear, felt a bit disappointed.

He had really wanted to see Wang Ye anxious and scared.

Therefore, he hadn't warned Wang Ye when telling him to look below.

Unexpectedly, he failed to frighten Wang Ye at all.

Zhou Xuan Ying softly said to Wang Ye, "This relic was a research lab by a Feng Shui Master predecessor on how to extend a magician's lifespan without enhancing their strength through the Feng Shui Path."

"Everyone knows..."

Zhou Xuan Ying briefly explained to Wang Ye about the magician's lifespan issues.

In about two to three minutes, Zhou Xuan Ying finished his explanation to Wang Ye.

Throughout this process, Zhou Xuan Ying didn't display any sort of melancholy or anxiety about aging but rather openly spoke to Wang Ye.

Seemingly caring not at all about the impending end of his own lifespan.

But Wang Ye felt a torrent of emotions from Zhou Xuan Ying's tone.

Zhou Xuan Ying continued:

"Magicians.

Using techniques to borrow power from all things.

It's essentially an opportunistic method.

Yet, no one can deny the effort magicians put into researching these methods.

On the contrary, the effort put forth by magicians sometimes exceeds that of many cultivators.

But the borrowed power remains borrowed and can't extend their lifespan.

Still, magicians have continually sought ways, through their own means, to extend their own lifespan."

Zhou Xuan Ying paused and gazed downward.

In the white abyss, not just void, but there were small boats like folded white paper, coated with a faint silver glow.

The silver glow emitted a gentle radiance that didn't feel cold, rather imparting a sense of redemption from body to soul.

Especially for magicians, who upon seeing the silver glow, feel a warmly reassuring sensation from the depth of their being.

"And this relic's predecessor was named Situ Qingfeng. When Senior Situ's lifespan was nearing its end, his realm had reached the Fifth Grade Peak. With a little more training or by consuming a pill, he could directly breakthrough to the Fourth Grade Cultivator realm."

"With Situ Qingfeng's status in the Feng Shui Path back then, regardless of the method, if he wanted to advance to the Fourth Grade Cultivator realm, it was simple."

"At that time, his lifespan would be extended."

Wang Ye's lips slightly moved; although Zhou Xuan Ying hadn't spoken yet, from Zhou Xuan Ying's previous words, Wang Ye roughly knew what Senior Situ decided.

Facing Wang Ye's gaze, Zhou Xuan Ying sighed, eyes showing regret, admiration for Situ Qingfeng as well as frustration with the elder's stubbornness:

"But specifically, Senior Situ refused to accept these methods, even though he possessed pills to enhance his strength to the Fourth Grade Cultivator level."

"He decided to risk it all; if he could find a way to extend his lifespan using the Feng Shui Path, he would live, otherwise, he would die."

"But the result..."

Zhou Xuan Ying's eyes turned gloomy.

With the existence of a relic here naturally signifying that ultimately, Situ Qingfeng never found a solution and passed away forever.
