Protagonist:

Xu Zhangqing

Luo Qinghan stopped her steps, reached out and touched a spiral stone pillar; the moment her fingertip contacted the surface, a layer of Dead Silence Power spread up along her fingertip, but she casually dispersed it with a shake: "The architectural style, the Spirit Pattern layout — all are extremely ancient, unfamiliar."

"Completely unrecognizable!"

"One would think it shouldn't belong to our Star Domain, right?"

"There are far too many different things existing in the Myriad Heavens and Ten Thousand Worlds!"

Even the widely knowledgeable Jin Buhuan likewise could not recognize it.

Afterward, the group passed through the Spiral Palace, and their view suddenly opened up.

A Black Plain spread out beneath everyone's feet; on the plain there were no remains of any buildings, nor any Black Mist surging from cracks.

Flat, like a mirror that had been meticulously polished.

And right in the center, a giant tree, entirely silver-white, stood there alone.

Its crown covered the sky; every leaf shimmered with light like moonlight, illuminating the surrounding several li as if it were a moonlit night.

Beneath the tree grew a thin layer of silver moss.

Among the moss, a few unknown small white flowers were scattered like star points.

The Dead Silence Power within this area was thin to the point of being almost negligible.

Mo Li stopped, frowned slightly and said: "This is it, and it makes me uncomfortable."

Luo Qinghan's gaze fell on that silver-white giant tree, surprise in her eyes: "You're right to feel uncomfortable — this is a Moonlight Holy Tree.

This thing has long been extinct in the Wai Jie.

It is said it can only grow where the Moonlight Law is most concentrated; in the entire Endless Star Domain including the Floating World Four Domains, no more than three places meet that condition.

In my early years I searched the Star Domains far and wide, wanting to find a Moonlight Holy Tree to serve as my cultivation Foundation, but ultimately failed to find one and could only substitute Moonhua Stone.

Never expected that this thing would actually be growing in the Eternal Night Ruins!"

As these words fell, everyone realized the weight of the tree before them.

Something that even Cold Moon Siming personally searched many Star Domains for yet could not obtain — its value can no longer be measured in spirit stones.

Baili Hong smiled: "Senior Sister, isn't this exactly the Opportunity you've been seeking?"

Luo Qinghan nodded slightly: "The trunk of a Moonlight Holy Tree can be refined into a supreme-grade Magic Treasure.

And every leaf on the crown contains a complete Moonlight Law.

Even absorbing just one leaf is enough to let a low-realm cultivator of the Moonlight Path directly break through a Small Realm.

But this tree has Spirit Qi; whether it follows me or not is not up to me!"

However, among those present, the person most suited to this tree is precisely her.

Therefore, after a round of consideration, Luo Qinghan still walked toward the Moonlight Holy Tree.

Her steps were unhurried, yet the aura on her body underwent a subtle change with every step she took.

From the initial cold indifference, it gradually became gentle and encompassing.

As if infected by the light the Moonlight Holy Tree emitted, and as if deliberately harmonizing the Law Resonance between herself and the Holy Tree.

When she reached beneath the tree, this silver-white giant tree suddenly trembled lightly; ten thousand leaves simultaneously emitted a faint rustling sound, the movement clear and crisp like wind passing through a bamboo grove.

Immediately after, a silver-white Light Pillar projected down from the crown, enveloping Luo Qinghan's whole person within it.

The Moonlight Power within the Light Pillar was concentrated to a nearly liquid state.

Luo Qinghan, placed within it, felt only as a fish in water.

Unconsciously, she revealed a trace of a smile.

The next moment, her aura began to climb.

For a Mahayana Stage cultivator to break through a bottleneck is inherently fraught with thousands of difficulties.

It often requires spending hundreds or even thousands of years of accumulation just to pry loose a sliver of progress.

But under the direct nourishment of this Moonlight Holy Tree, the bottleneck that had shackled Luo Qinghan for several thousand years was actually forced open a crack by the Moonlight Power at a speed visible to the Naked Eye.

Though not yet a breakthrough, once a crack appears, the subsequent breakthrough is only a matter of time.

"This tree has accepted her."

Xu Zhangqing watched from the Side for a while, then said in a low voice to Baili Hong: "Second Senior Sister cultivates a variant of the Moonlight Path — Cold Moon.

And this Holy Tree can be said to share the same root and origin.

To encounter a Moonlight Holy Tree in a place like the Eternal Night Ruins — if not fated, it is at least a tremendous Karmic Connection."

Baili Hong said with a complex expression: "Next it's up to me; Second Senior Sister at least scored a Moonlight Holy Tree — I can't just go back with a monster core, can I?"

Xu Zhangqing patted his shoulder, smiling: "The Eternal Night Ruins is this big; there will surely be an Opportunity, an Encounter suited to you."

Luo Qinghan stayed beneath the tree for roughly one Incense Stick; when she opened her eyes again, the entire Moonlight Holy Tree had already shrunk to palm-size, cradled in her palm.

Silver-white light leaked from between her fingers, plating her surroundings in a layer of gentle moonlight.

Xu Zhangqing saw this, stepped forward and asked: "Senior Sister, do you need me to stand guard for you now?"

Luo Qinghan shook her head: "No rush; I'll refine it after we go out."

Her current situation is extremely delicate — she is only one step away from the next Great Realm.

Once she refines this Moonlight Holy Tree, it will likely trigger the arrival of a Heavenly Tribulation.

However, in a place like the Eternal Night Ruins, anything that comes will Solidify.

Even a Heavenly Tribulation — the result would be the same.

Moreover, it would also attract some unnecessary attention and trouble.

Therefore, breaking through realms here is actually no different from seeking death.

Luo Qinghan stored the shrunken Soul Tree into her Storage Magic Treasure; although her face still wore that same indifferent expression, a trace of ease rarely shown before outsiders appeared between her eyebrows and eyes.

When it comes down to it, the purpose of coming here has already been achieved.

What needs to be done next is to wait for a suitable opportunity, and then leave.

Just as everyone was preparing to change locations, Mo Li suddenly closed her eyes, and the Shadow Law formed a ring of gray-black ripples around her body, then continuously spread outward to the surroundings.

A moment later, she opened her eyes again, raised her hand and pointed at the Soul Tree's original position: "There is about a hundred zhang deep, there exists an extremely strange shadow fluctuation."

"Related to shadow?"

Upon hearing this, Luo Qinghan decided without hesitation: "Go down and take a look."

Everyone entered in single file; after descending a hundred zhang, the ground beneath their feet suddenly gave way, and they fell into an extremely concealed space.

The Shadow Law and aura here are dense to the utmost.

On the surface, there doesn't seem to be anything unique.

However, when everyone swept with their Divine Sense, they discovered subtle details.

Within these shadows, there were actually characters continuously sinking and floating, appearing exceptionally mysterious.

Luo Qinghan glanced at Mo Li: "In the aspect of shadow, you are stronger than all of us."

Mo Li took a deep breath and said seriously: "I recognize it; this is the Eternal Night Scripture, a complete Great Dao Level Technique."

At this moment, everyone's gazes turned toward her.

Although the Shadow Law and the Eternal Night Scripture's overall direction have some slight deviation, using it for reference or cultivating it directly is still no problem!
