Mowenjie looked at Lai Biao, smiling and nodding, as long as you can reform the new life, give up the cultivation of demon power, then I will no longer be your enemy, you take care of yourself, we will leave here!
However, just as Mowenjie turned to leave, a black shadow suddenly darted out from the shadows, rushing straight towards Lai Biao. Mowenjie was startled and hurriedly turned back to rescue him. It turned out that this black shadow was a vengeful enemy from Lai Biao's past cultivation of demon power, a powerful demon shadow spirit.
The demon shadow spirit roared, "Humph, traitor, do you think abandoning your cultivation of demon power will free you from your past? You will die today." Mowenjie quickly performed a spiritual power shield in front of Lai Biao, while mouth-chanting a spell formula, launching golden light after golden light towards the demon shadow spirit. Although the demon shadow spirit was powerful, Mowenjie's current full force was not inferior to it. After several rounds of fighting, the demon shadow spirit gradually became unable to hold its own. It tried to escape but was trapped by Mowenjie's magical artifact.
Mowenjie seriously said to Lai Biao: "It seems that it's not easy for you to truly break away from the demon path. You need to carefully hide and cultivate your righteous law, consolidating your own strength. Don't let these evil things find your tracks again." Lai Biao was moved to tears, repeatedly agreed. Then Mowenjie led the crowd, holding the demon shadow spirit in custody, and left. Only Lai Biao stood watching their back silently determined to be a better person again.
Mowenjie led Huang Ling'er, Jiang Yu Rou, Xiao Ya Wen, Ding Yan, Tuobaying Yingying, and Qin Xiao Die to continue their exploration. He was very clear that the path ahead would become increasingly treacherous. To reach his ideals, he must put in even more effort. There are no shortcuts on the path of cultivation; only by advancing step by step will there be a beautiful future!
After walking for a while, the group arrived at a valley. The valley was filled with dense fog, faintly emitting a mysterious aura. As soon as Mo Wenjie stepped into the valley, he felt a powerful force of restrictions.
Just as he was cautiously observing, the surrounding scenery changed suddenly and appeared many illusions, all of which were the deepest fears of everyone's heart. Huang Ling'er saw her family tortured by demons and screamed in terror; Jiang Yu Rou saw herself lose all her cultivation and become a commoner, suffering from others' abuse. Mo Wenjie knew very well that this was a test of their temperament, so he quickly calmed down his mind and shouted loudly: "Don't panic, everyone! This is an illusion array. Hold onto your heart." He struck the core of the illusion array first by condensing spiritual power.
Encouraged by this, everyone imitated one by one. As spiritual power continued to be injected, the illusion array gradually disintegrated. After the mist dispersed, an ancient cave appeared in the valley. Mo Wenjie and others cautiously entered the cave and found an ancient book emitting an odd glow within.
Mo Wenjie opened the book, which contained a long-lost advanced cultivation method. The group was overjoyed, and Mo Wenjie decided to stay there for a while to study the cultivation techniques in the book. They would continue their exploration after making some progress.
Mo Wenjie found a quiet place and sat down in lotus position to start studying the scripture. As he delved deeper into reading, he found that there were several places in the scripture that were difficult to understand. He tried to interpret them using his own knowledge, but he always failed to grasp the essence. The other people sat by his side, not daring to make a sound, afraid of disturbing him.
At this time, Mo Wenjie thought that he might be able to help understand it by using the spiritual Qi in the cave. So he guided the others to merge their own spiritual power with the spiritual Qi in the cave, creating a special field. Under this field, Mo Wenjie seemed to have opened his eyes, understanding the cultivation techniques in the scripture even more thoroughly.
After several days of study, Mo Wenjie finally mastered the advanced cultivation technique at a preliminary level. He slowly stood up, radiating a stronger aura than before. The others sensed his transformation and their faces showed expressions of surprise.
Mo Wenjie said: "Now that I have learned something, we should continue our journey. The path of cultivation is long and unknown, but as long as we work together, we can overcome any obstacles." After saying this, he led the others out of the cave and stepped forward boldly towards deeper unknown territory.
Huang Ling'er and Jiang Yu Rou, Xiao Ya Wen, and others looked at Mo Wenjie. They couldn't help but secretly make up their minds to protect Mo Wenjie. They could not have any slightest mishaps. His luck was so good that he could get some opportunities wherever he went. Following such a person, would they be afraid of having a bright future? So no matter what, they cannot let him suffer even a little bit of harm. Although we are all girls, we can definitely protect him well. We also need to work hard to improve our strength and unite to protect him! Whoever wants to pick a quarrel with him, we will fight with them!
The group traveled on, and soon arrived at a scorching desert area. The sun was high in the sky, the sand was scorching hot.
As Mo Wenjie was using his spiritual power to resist the intense heat, suddenly a sandstorm rolled in. The others quickly huddled together to defend themselves, while Mo Wenjie's hands rapidly formed seals, building a protective sand wall. Amongst the sandstorm, a group of sand beasts emerged, snarling and charging towards the group.
Huang Ling'er and the others didn't hesitate to charge forward, using their own spells to fight against the sand beasts. Mo Wenjie was searching for the sand beast leader from behind, knowing that only by defeating the leader could he avert the crisis. Soon, he locked onto his target, and with a swift movement, he charged forward. After an intense battle, Mo Wenjie successfully defeated the sand beast leader. The sand beast group scattered instantly, and everyone let out a sigh of relief. At this point, a brilliant light bridge appeared in the distance sky.
Mo Wenjie said with determined eyes, "That must be the path to a new opportunity. Let's go." They looked at each other and smiled, heading towards the light bridge, filled with anticipation for the unknown journey and believing that with each other's strength, they could overcome any challenge.
As soon as Mo Wenjie and the others, including Huang Ling'er, stepped forward towards the light bridge, a row of light screens suddenly appeared in front of them. Their eyes were dazzled by the brightness. Without waiting for them to approach, Mo Wenjie's heart sank and he muttered to himself, "What's going on? This must not be good. Stay back! Let me explore in front."
Mo Wenjie cautiously approached the light screen, and as soon as he touched the edge, a surge of electricity coursed through his body. He gritted his teeth and endured the pain. Observing the light screen closely, he noticed that there were complex runes flashing on it. Mo Wenjie thought to himself that this might be some kind of seal or restriction.
He tried to probe the light screen with his spiritual power, and instantly, the light screen fluctuated violently, erupting with a strong suction that yanked him inwards. His companions were horror-stricken and reached out to grab him, but the suction was too powerful, and Mo Wenjie was pulled into the light screen.
After entering the light screen, Mo Wenjie found himself in an extraordinary space. The surroundings were shrouded in mist, and he wondered how he could have been trapped here. It shouldn't be like that! Suddenly, an old man's voice echoed, "Young man, being able to reach here is fate. This light screen is a test for those who are destined. If one can solve the riddle within the light screen, they will gain boundless fortune." Mo Wenjie calmed down and prepared for the sudden test that had come upon him.
Outside, Huang Ling'er and the others were anxious, trying to break the light screen together. At this moment, an image of Mo Wenjie emerged from the light screen, looking safe and sound. Mo Wenjie's voice echoed, "Don't worry, I'm here to face a test. Keep an eye on your surroundings and don't let anyone disturb us." The others listened and, although they were still worried, had no choice but to follow his instructions.
Tuobaying Yingying, seeing Mo Wenjie unharmed, giggled and said: "It seems that Mo Wenjie is a person of great fortune. Every time he has such a wonderful encounter. If it continues like this, we won't need to spend thousands or tens of thousands of years like others to reach the thirty-sixth heaven. It seems that following him, we can reach the thirty-sixth heaven sooner or later. What do you guys think about it?"
Jiang Yu Rou furrowed her brow and said, "Although it's true that Mo Wenjie has great fortune, he has faced many dangers in the past. We can't rely solely on his fortune. We must continue to improve our own strength." The others nodded in agreement.
At this moment, Mo Wenjie began to study the riddle within the light screen. The riddle turned out to be an ancient array transformation diagram. Mo Wenjie mobilized all his knowledge of arrays and began to break down and analyze it step by step.
Outside the light screen, while everyone was on high alert, a group of black-clad cultivators appeared silently. The leader of the black-clad cultivators cackled coldly, "I've heard there's a person with great fortune here. If we can seize his fortune, our cultivation will greatly improve." Huang Ling'er shouted angrily, "You dare!" She said so and prepared to fight back. The other cultivators deployed their defensive formations and faced the black-clad cultivators head-on. The two sides were in a stalemate for a while as they exchanged attacks and spells.
Within the light screen, Mo Wenjie finally solved the riddle, and a burst of bright light flashed. His body began to absorb a large amount of spiritual Qi, greatly enhancing his strength. He emerged from the light screen and saw the fierce battle before him. His eyes narrowed, and he joined the fight. Mo Wenjie used his newly learned technique, unleashing incredible power that left the black-robed cultivators defenseless and forced them to retreat in haste. Looking at his companions, Mo Wenjie said, "Thanks to your protection, we can continue on to the light bridge now."
As they walked along the light bridge, they found that the bridge divided into multiple branches. Mo Wenjie furrowed his brow, finding this situation quite tricky. He carefully sensed the spiritual Qi fluctuations along each path and finally pointed to the middle road, saying, "The spiritual Qi here is the purest and most peaceful; let's take this path."
As they stepped onto this path, the surrounding scenery began to change, as if they had entered another time and space. In front of them, a magnificent city appeared, with ancient and mysterious architectural styles. However, before they could get close to the city, beams of light shot out from the walls of the city and formed a large protective net. Mo Wenjie tried to communicate with his spiritual power, but there was no response.
Just when everyone was at a loss, a creature resembling a child flew out from the city. The child sized them up and said in a baby voice, "Strangers, this city is under a curse. To enter the city, you must first lift the curse." Mo Wenjie asked, "How can we lift the curse?" The child handed him a crystal ball and said, "Find something that resonates with this crystal ball and place it on the altar at the center of the city." Mo Wenjie took the crystal ball and felt a mysterious force surging into his body. He looked determinedly at his companions and said firmly, "Let's start searching then." After that, everyone dispersed and began their quest for answers in this mysterious area.
