Ye Huan had previously considered the possibility of becoming the leader of Yuxu Palace, but he knew that it would mean being firmly tied to the palace. Moreover, he was well aware that he lacked any real management skills. To him, the position of leader was nothing more than a hot potato—something he couldn't even bear to touch, let alone grasp.
He was tempted to outright refuse Yu Wuxia's suggestion, but after a moment's thought, Ye Huan sensed an unusual undertone in Yu Wuxia's words. Especially with Yu Wuxia's confident demeanor, Ye Huan felt that there might be other ways to break through the formation leading to the Eight Gates of Immortal Trapping Formation.
The thought filled Ye Huan with excitement. He could no longer concern himself with the implications of leadership and turned to Yu Wuxia, asking eagerly, "Elder Yu, do you have another way to get out of here? Please tell me!"
"What other way could I possibly have? Stop trying to change the subject. Tell me! Do you want to become the next leader of Yuxu Palace or not?"
Yu Wuxia did not let Ye Huan divert the conversation. It seemed that he was very interested in Ye Huan's answer to his question. However, this pressure left Ye Huan feeling stuck and unsure how to respond.
After hesitating for quite some time, realizing that he had to give Yu Wuxia an answer regardless, Ye Huan decided to be straightforward. With a mindset of having nothing to lose, he said directly to Yu Wuxia, "Elder Yu, to be honest, I really don’t want to become the leader of Yuxu Palace!"
"What?!"
Yu Wuxia seemed unable to believe his ears. After hearing Ye Huan's response, he genuinely questioned whether Ye Huan had lost his mind. After all, for a Cultivator, becoming the leader of Yuxu Palace meant access to countless treasures and elixirs that could enhance one's cultivation. Additionally, having numerous disciples at his command and considering Yuxu Palace's current standing in Eastern State made it an irresistible temptation for any normal Cultivator.
"I said I absolutely do not want to become the leader of Yuxu Palace!"
Ye Huan reiterated his earlier statement firmly. He understood that there were many advantages to being the leader of Yuxu Palace, but he was simply not inclined to be bound by a sect. Furthermore, at just over twenty years old—considering a Cultivator's lifespan typically spans several hundred years—becoming the leader would mean that every decision he made for the rest of his life would revolve around Yuxu Palace. In such a scenario, how could Ye Huan ever hope to have any freedom?
Staring intently at Ye Huan, Yu Wuxia realized that he didn't know much about Ye Huan, having spent only a short time together. Therefore, when he heard Ye Huan say that he had never considered becoming the leader of Yuxu Palace, a look of shock crossed his face. He stammered, "This... Ye Huan... are you sure your head isn't on fire?"
"Hey, Elder Yu, if I tell you I'm not crazy, would you think it's this formation that's messing with my mind?"
Ye Huan rolled his eyes in frustration at Yu Wuxia. He didn't believe that becoming the leader of Yuxu Palace was a good thing for him. As the saying goes, everyone has their own aspirations; since Ye Huan's ambitions lay elsewhere, why should Yu Wuxia insist?
"I really think it might be this formation we're in that's causing the trouble..."
Nodding seriously, Yu Wuxia's words nearly made Ye Huan choke on his own thoughts. Fortunately, seeing that Ye Huan seemed determined, he decided not to dwell on the issue any longer. Instead, he glanced around the dark space and said, "Never mind; the position of leader of Yuxu Palace will eventually be yours anyway. Let's focus on how to get out of here!"
"Elder Yu, do you really have no way to leave this place?"
Feeling as though Yu Wuxia was hiding something, Ye Huan perked up at the mention of finding a way out. His eyes darted back and forth at Yu Wuxia, which irritated him enough to give Ye Huan a light smack on the head. Only after seeing Ye Huan rub his sore head did he smile slightly and say calmly, "I truly have no way to leave here. However, I can responsibly tell you that since we are already within this formation, everything we see is merely an alternate space created by it!"
"An alternate space? Are you saying we are no longer beneath Yuxu Palace?"
Confused by Yu Wuxia's words, Ye Huan mimicked him and looked around. Yet in his mind, he still believed that both he and Yu Wuxia were still in the underground world beneath Yuxu Palace. After all, no matter what kind of formation lay beneath Yuxu Palace, there was only one entrance. Could it be that the path leading down from the square of Yuxu Palace could also lead upward?
"No, we are still in the underground world beneath Yuxu Palace; we are just enveloped by a sub-formation leading to the core of the Eight Gates of Immortal Trapping Formation. To put it simply, this sub-formation has created a space trapping us inside; everything we see with our naked eyes is an illusion."
Confirming that Ye Huan's guess was correct, Yu Wuxia attempted to gather a ball of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy in his hand. Using the faint white light emitted by it, he quickly approached the walls on either side of the stone steps and pressed his hand against them...
As expected, just as Yu Wuxia had said, everything here was an illusion created by the sub-formation. With his naked eye, it was clear to see that when Yu Wuxia pressed his hand against the walls on either side of the passageway, wave-like ripples appeared on the surface. However, no matter how much strength he exerted, the walls remained unchanged and could not be destroyed at all.
"Elder Yu, even if everything around us is just an illusion created by the formation, what can we do about it?"
Looking at Yu Wuxia in confusion, Ye Huan did not understand what Yu Wuxia meant. Just as he was about to voice his doubts, Yu Wuxia took out a Flying Sword from the storage device he carried and forcefully thrust it into the wall.
Bang!
With a loud crash, as the Flying Sword made contact with the wall, ripples began to spread across the surface. The change was significant compared to when Yu Wuxia had touched it with his hand. The most noticeable difference was that the area of the ripples had increased. In that moment, Ye Huan understood Yu Wuxia's intention and even began to grasp how they might escape from this place...
