Facing the suddenly transformed passage, Yang Fei stepped in without any hesitation.

Then, just like last time when he fell into the Nine-Nine Reunification Illusion Array, he began to search endlessly for a way out in this seemingly endless illusionary world.

However, Yang Fei was now at the Core Formation Stage, and besides the enhancement of his own realm, his understanding of formations had also increased. Moreover, he had been to the Nine-Nine Reunification Illusion Array and even cracked it before. Therefore, although this illusion array seemed stronger, it still couldn’t stump him.

He reached the cave where he originally discovered the four Fluorescent Gates in just a few hours.

Despite the years that had passed, his memory of the place remained vivid.

"Huh, clearly it’s the same place, so why is there only one Fluorescent Gate left now?" Yang Fei looked at the scene inside the cave with a puzzled expression.

Back then, when he and Qin Yanyang brought Li Yue and Sun Lei here, four Fluorescent Gates gradually transformed on the cave walls, but now, only one appeared.

"Could it be determined by the number of people entering here?" Yang Fei pondered.

Previously, four people came here, hence four gates appeared. Now that only he entered, there’s only one Fluorescent Gate.

It must be like this.

But no matter, last time after entering the Fluorescent Gate, I received Li Er’s legacy. Returning now, there might be good things waiting for me behind this Fluorescent Gate.

He couldn’t wait to delve inside.

But just then, his eyelid twitched, and he noticed a flickering fluorescence on the nearby cave wall.

It was a door’s outline.

Only that door flickered, seeming to appear the next moment, but then quickly vanished.

Yang Fei halted his steps, closely watching the position of that flickering Fluorescent Gate, and tried to recall that the appearing Fluorescent Gate was the one he chose back then, while the flickering gate was the one Qin Yanyang chose.

As for the doors chosen by Li Yue and the long-deceased Sun Lei, they hadn’t appeared.

"I came here so this door appeared, and does the flickering gate signify that Yanyang is nearing?" Yang Fei stood pondering.

He stared at the flickering gate trying to discern something, yet ultimately found nothing.

At that moment, from the Fluorescent Gate he entered years ago, an intense attraction emanated.

Yang Fei felt a strong magic power beckoning him to enter.

Just like when he first saw the door, his consciousness was deeply attracted.

He moved his steps to stand before the Fluorescent Gate, then his worries about Qin Yanyang’s safety dissipated and his eyes became enthralled.

"Boom!"

Suddenly, a loud noise rang in his ears, followed by a subtle tremor from beneath his feet.

He abruptly woke up, hurriedly stepping back several paces.

Hiss!

Was he just losing his mind?

He looked up again at the Fluorescent Gate, his eyes filled with caution.

Indeed.

His consciousness had completely been drawn to the Fluorescent Gate, neglecting Qin Yanyang’s safety.

The power of this illusion array is truly formidable; although he’s in Core Formation Realm and his Divine Soul is exceptionally strong, his mind is incredibly firm, yet just now he was unresistingly drawn into the Fluorescent Gate.

If not for the sudden loud noise and tremor, he would have already entered the Fluorescent Gate.

Even though Yang Fei subconsciously felt that there were only benefits behind the Fluorescent Gate, the feeling of losing control over his own consciousness made him very uncomfortable, to be precise, very unpleasant.

Even repulsed and fearful.

He didn’t want to become a puppet, a marionette under someone else’s control, which would make him no different from the spiritual puppets he refined.

Without any hesitation, Yang Fei turned around and left.

He knew he would definitely enter the Fluorescent Gate, but not now; now, the most important thing was to find his wife first.

Various doors appeared in sight, and Yang Fei searched in the general direction from which the loud noise emanated.

This time, the path he took wasn’t the correct Life Gate; various mechanisms and Killing Arrays appeared in the passage, far more powerful than when they first entered.

The array seemed able to automatically adjust its power effects based on the realm of the person entering it.

Initially, when Foundation Establishment cultivators entered, its power could only trap them, and as long as they had enough talismans, magic treasures, and resources, Foundation Establishment cultivators could force their way out.

Yang Fei, now at Core Formation Stage, chose the wrong path, encountering attacks of Core Formation Early Stage level; although he had the Soul Binding Rope, he couldn’t unleash its power and had to rely on his own Core Formation Early Stage mana to resist.

Fortunately, Li Er’s intention with the Nine-Nine Reunification Illusion Array wasn’t to kill intruders, but rather as a deliberate malicious fun by adding some difficulty, so even though Yang Fei encountered lots of trouble, he passed through without any real danger.

Finally, after three hours, he reunited with Qin Yanyang.

Qin Yanyang looked somewhat haggard and fatigued.

Throughout the journey, she faced various mechanisms and Killing Arrays. With little understanding of formations, she had to charge through blindly.

Therefore, she expended much more mana than Yang Fei.

"Were you hurt?" Yang Fei asked with concern.

Qin Yanyang shook her head, "No. It’s just that the mechanisms and Killing Arrays inside seem far stronger than before."

Yang Fei responded, "This illusion array adjusts its power based on the intruder’s cultivation realm."

Qin Yanyang nodded, "It seems so. How did you find me?"

Yang Fei smiled, "You caused quite a commotion charging through, of course I could find you."

Qin Yanyang blushed, "Looks like I’ll need to focus more on formations in the future."

Yang Fei chuckled, holding her hand, "Come with me, I found the cave from last time with two Fluorescent Gates inside, maybe we’ll discover something new."

Qin Yanyang exclaimed joyously, "Really?"

"I’ve only deceived you once in my life." Yang Fei said.

Qin Yanyang retorted, "Yeah, even if just once, it was quite harsh."

Yang Fei smiled awkwardly, "Ahem, it’s in the past now, let’s not bring it up."

Qin Yanyang pinched his palm.

Yang Fei chuckled, leading her quickly forward.

This time, they chose the right path, so they didn’t encounter any danger, and soon they arrived at the cave again, where two Fluorescent Gates clearly appeared on the stone walls, as if waiting for their arrival.
