Wuya scanned the surroundings，but
He turned and turned，yet still only paced in place，completely unable to find the way out.
Meanwhile，deep within the stone formation.
Having been suddenly pulled away，Xiao Yu was startled. Just as she was about to cry out，her mouth was covered and she was held tightly against someone.
"Don't make a sound！"
Hearing Nie Li's voice，Xiao Yu's heart finally relaxed. However，thinking of the compromising position she was in with Nie Li，her face flushed red. During their journey，she had already had her personal space encroached upon by Nie Li several times. Even though it was always due to special circumstances and there was no other way，Nie Li showed not a shred of awareness about keeping a proper distance.
Seeing that Xiao Yu was no longer struggling，Nie Li let go.
"Just now it was out of necessity. If I hadn't covered your mouth，you would have shouted. Let's go，follow me，and don't get more than two meters away from me. Pay attention to where I step—where my feet land！" Nie Li leaped forward，continuously stepping from one stone to another.
Xiao Yu followed behind Nie Li，watching his back. Her gaze flickered，and finally，she let out a silent sigh.
About half an hour later，Nie Li passed through the stone formation and reached the other side.
Various treasures floated in the void—spirit stones，rare metals，and magical artifacts of different grades. In the distant void，a strange pearl shone with brilliant，dazzling light.
This magical pearl constantly shifted colors，radiating countless beams of prismatic light.
Seeing that pearl，Nie Li's heart stirred. That pearl was clearly the legendary Illusionary Spirit Pearl.
The Illusionary Spirit Pearl was an extremely powerful combat-type treasure. Once activated by its wielder，it could even trap individuals several levels above them in an illusory predicament from which they couldn't break free. While it couldn't kill，it was a peerless treasure with unique functions.
Apart from confusing people，it also possessed other marvelous uses. It was undoubtedly an ancient artifact.
Nie Li's lips curved slightly. The uses of this Illusionary Spirit Pearl were far greater than those of the
"I'll go collect that treasure. You gather all the spirit stones，rare metals，and artifacts nearby！" Nie Li glanced at Xiao Yu and said.
"Okay！" Xiao Yu nodded and quickly went to collect the spirit stones，rare metals，and artifacts. The various items here would keep her busy for quite a while.
Nie Li swiftly approached the Illusionary Spirit Pearl. Just then，the Illusionary Spirit Pearl suddenly emitted a blinding light.
Nie Li felt as if he had suddenly arrived in a hellish realm of raging flames. Blazing fire surged from all around，scorching him as if it were about to roast him into a human jerky.
"Hmph，this little illusion thinks it can trap me？" Nie Li suddenly activated the power of the Heavenly Dao from within his Soul Sea，channeling it into his consciousness，running through two meridians. Two strange lights flashed in his eyes. The raging flames around him quickly dissipated，and Nie Li reached out to grab the Illusionary Spirit Pearl.
Without anyone controlling it，the Illusionary Spirit Pearl's power was naturally much diminished.
Just as it was about to be seized by Nie Li，the Illusionary Spirit Pearl let out a swoosh，transforming into a beam of light and rapidly flying away.
"Trying to flee？Not so easy！" Nie Li snorted coldly and swiftly summoned the Map of Ten Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains from his Soul Sea. The map flew out from his hand.
