Due to this woman, Su Xing didn't dare to act too rashly. He would first break the eighth layer of the formation before returning to retrieve it.

I've said that we will cooperate, so of course we'll keep our promise. You don't have to be so wary of me, "Su Xing said." But, you also know that the higher the floor, the stronger the array we'll have to face.

"You're too long-winded, hurry up and enter the array!" The mysterious woman urged.

Su Xing was speechless and could only follow her into the array.

Just like before, Su Xing and the mysterious woman entered a virtual space.

The first thing he saw was a dusky state. This space felt much deeper than the ones he had experienced before.

"Don't move!"

Seeing that the mysterious woman had no intention of leaving, Su Xing couldn't help but shout out to her, "Before we find out what kind of array this is, I think it's best if we just behave ourselves!"

The mysterious woman slightly frowned. After discovering that there was nothing wrong with it, she lightly said, "Tell me, what did you find here?"

Su Xing curled his lips and said, "I'm the same as you. It's just that I've just entered here. What can I find? You're overestimating me."

As Su Xing cautiously stepped forward, he carefully surveyed the situation around him.

This place was completely desolate. Sand and dust were scattered everywhere, and apart from this, there was nothing else that was out of the ordinary.

The mysterious woman followed closely behind Su Xing. She had noticed every single movement Su Xing made.

The two of them walked aimlessly for half an hour, but nothing happened.

It was still flying stones that filled the sky. There were piles of debris littered everywhere. It was a very desolate scene!

"Haven't you noticed?" The mysterious woman asked again.

Su Xing shook his head. Within his eyes, there was a trace of dejection.

"Actually, looking at the array formations that have been going through since the first floor. According to the implicit rules, this layer should be one of the eight trigram array formations. However, I am unable to determine which one it is."

Su Xing stopped in his tracks as he gazed into the distance, "Moreover, let me tell you a piece of bad news. I feel like we've already been trapped by this formation."

"How is this possible? How come I don't feel anything at all?" The mysterious woman said.

Su Xing bitterly smiled, "The Eight Trigram Formation is different from the previous ones. It does not take the initiative to attack, but instead passively protects itself. There are eight of them. Open the gate, rest, gate … Every time you open one, the power will increase exponentially.

"However, looking at the current situation, this Eight Trigram Formation should have only opened one. I don't know if there will be a second one later, but even if I did open one, I still don't have any clue."

Su Xing saw the mysterious woman staring at him with anger and said helplessly, "You don't need to look at me like that. The Eight Trigrams Formation is not an ordinary array. Even if a Rank 5 Spiritual Array Master were to come, it would not necessarily break, let alone a Rank 2 Spiritual Array Master like me."

The mysterious woman didn't really know much about formations. Thus, she didn't know how much of what Su Xing just said was true and how much of it was false.

"So you're saying we can only stop here?" The mysterious woman asked.

"That may not be so. This formation is indeed profound, but since this mysterious pavilion is specially designed for the younger generation, there shouldn't be any traces of hope. There should be some tricks hidden within, let's see if we can find it."

Su Xing said, "I will do my best, but you don't have to be too impatient. After all, in the path of cultivation, it is a matter of fate. Some things belong to you, but in the end, that's still yours."

The mysterious woman was silent for a moment before she spoke to Su Xing in a low voice, "Since that's the case, you don't need to rest for the remaining five days. You can focus on studying this formation at ease!"

"I …"

Facing the mysterious woman's silent threat, Su Xing did not dare to say anything.

"If you don't want to rest, then don't. It's only been five days. After five days, everyone will go their separate ways!"

Su Xing couldn't help but say a few words before squatting to the side as he carefully sensed the spiritual fluctuations and began to study the unusual situation.

As for the mysterious woman, she silently stood to the side. Her gaze would occasionally stay on Su Xing.

"I came here alone. Do I have to leave empty-handed?" The mysterious woman muttered to herself with a sad face.

Time silently flowed by, and Su Xing didn't waste even a second.

A day passed, but there were no clues at all.

Two days passed, yet he still did not find anything special.

Three days had passed. At this moment, Su Xing's eyes were bloodshot and his face was filled with fatigue. He had not rested for three days and three nights.

He was the same as the mysterious woman. He desperately wanted to break the formation here, then go up to the ninth floor, or perhaps even the tenth floor. He wanted to know just what secrets were hidden in the highest floor of this building.

The truth, however, struck a deep blow to his curiosity.

There were only two days left. Could it be that there was no hope at all?

Su Xing was extremely annoyed. He had never experienced such an emotion before.

The more he was worried, the more his mind was in a mess. He could even vaguely feel a dizzy spell appearing in his head.

The mysterious woman, who had been observing Su Xing the entire time, also noticed this. Seeing that Su Xing's condition was getting worse, she hesitated for a moment before suddenly taking out a pill from her storage bag and passing it to Su Xing.

"Don't bother me!" Su Xing didn't even raise his head. Facing the mysterious woman's good intentions, he directly said those words.

The mysterious woman didn't think that her good intentions would be rejected by this guy. She was furious.

"You don't care about face, are you really taking yourself seriously?"

Su Xing was too engrossed with the matter of breaking the formation. He thought that she had merely come over to say some useless words. He didn't expect that she would actually come over to him on her own accord. This caused Su Xing to be extremely surprised.

However, by the time Su Xing had woken up, it was already too late. He had noticed that the mysterious woman had suddenly circulated the Spiritual Energy within his body.

"Hey, hey, hey, hey. No, no, no. If you have something to say, just say it." In terms of fighting, Su Xing would definitely not be able to beat the person in front of him.

The mysterious woman did not stop her attacks. It seemed like she had made up her mind to teach Su Xing a lesson.

However, at this time, a series of loud rumbling sounds suddenly came from the surroundings.
