Mou Wenjie and Huang Ling'er, Jiang Yurou, Xiao Yawen, Ding Yan, Tuobai Yingying, Qin Xiaodie and the like, set off to seek opportunities separately. But how could opportunities be so easily found? Mou Wenjie searched for Ding for an entire day without any leads. He wondered in his heart what was going on. Where should he go to seek them?
Just as Mou Wenjie was at a loss, he suddenly remembered that ancient texts mentioned that places with auspicious energy often had divine signs surrounding them. Therefore, he decided to climb to the top of the tallest building in the city, where there was a broad view and perhaps he could find something. After climbing to the top, he indeed saw a faint violet glow flickering above an abandoned courtyard in the distance. Mou Wenjie's heart stirred, and he quickly ran towards that factory.
Upon entering the courtyard, a mysterious aura filled the air. Mou Wenjie carefully explored, discovering a stone emitting an odd light in a corner. The moment he touched it, the stone turned into a beam of light and entered his body. Instantaneously, knowledge about cultivation techniques flooded his mind. This was indeed the opportunity he had been desperately searching for. Meanwhile, similar events were happening to the others. Huang Ling'er found a spiritual spring deep in an ancient forest, and Jiang Yurou discovered a mystical jade bead at the bottom of the sea, and so on.
Mou Wenjie looked at his partners in cultivation, feeling a deep sense of emotion. They had followed him through a difficult journey indeed. If it were not for his need to enhance his strength, he really wanted to spend quality time with them. After all, these partners had stuck by him without wavering, and that sincere affection was truly invaluable. I, Mou Wenjie, absolutely cannot let them down!
Mou Wenjie gathered everyone together and said, "This time we have all gained a lot. Now, let's all retreat and digest the opportunities we have gained before making any further plans."
The women nodded in agreement. During the seclusion period, Mou Wenjie continuously studied the new cultivation techniques he had acquired, and his strength steadily increased. His partners in cultivation also made rapid progress. On the day of their breakthrough from seclusion, spiritual qi surged throughout the heavens and earth.
Mou Wenjie, watching his rejuvenated partners, smiled and said, "Now that our strength has greatly increased, we should go out to gain more experience and also do good for the world." The group agreed cheerfully. They continued their journey of cultivation and elimination of demons, helping the people along the way.
In every battle, Mou Wenjie always rushed to the front to protect everyone, and his partners worked together in unison. One time, they faced a powerful cultivation cultivator's attack and found themselves in a dire situation. However, Mou Wenjie, relying on his unwavering belief and the power generated by the profound feelings between him and his partners, managed to break through his own limits and perform a super powerful technique, defeating the enemy.
After this battle, Mou Wenjie realized that as long as he was with his partners in cultivation, he could overcome any difficulty, and he cherished this opportunity to walk together even more.
Huang Ling'er, in agreement with Mou Wenjie, said, "Dear husband, should we continue to explore ahead? If so, let's set off then!"
Mou Wenjie looked up at the faint valley ahead, his eyes full of anticipation. "Of course, we should continue on. I feel that there are even greater opportunities waiting for us ahead."
The group moved along the winding path towards the valley, shrouded in thick mist. Suddenly, a melodious flute played, and the group became vigilant. A white nine-tailed fox emerged slowly from the mist.
"The area I guard is not your domain. You should be punished for trespassing, but I sense the righteousness within you," spoke the nine-tailed fox with human-like speech.
Mou Wenjie stepped forward and respectfully said, "Elder, we are just passing through this place without any intention of causing offense."
The nine-tailed fox shook its head, "I have been waiting here for many years, just waiting to pass on a legacy to those with destined fates. Your arrival today signifies that fate has brought us together." After speaking, it expelled a inner core emitting seven colors of radiant light.
"This inner core contains limitless spiritual power, which can help you elevate your cultivation to a higher level." The group exchanged looks of surprise. Mou Wenjie took the inner core and sincerely thanked them.
After obtaining the inner core, they found a secluded cave to seclude themselves and absorb the power. When they emerged from the cave, they were transformed beyond recognition. They continued their journey of benefiting the world.
Although Jiang Yurou and Xiao Yawen had also improved in strength, they were still far behind Mou Wenjie. However, they were equally delighted. As long as they could follow Mo Wenjie, they felt content and dared not have any more demands!
On the way ahead, they encountered a small town shrouded in demonic qi. The people in the town were suffering greatly, their faces filled with fear. Mou Wenjie, without hesitation, led his partners into the town.
Mou Wenjie performed a purification ritual to try to dispel the demonic qi, but the qi was unusually stubborn. Jiang Yurou, with her keen mind, discovered that the source of the demonic qi was coming from beneath the ground.
The group worked together to dig the ground, and to their surprise, they discovered a sealed ancient demon beneath the surface. It turned out that this ancient demon was about to break through the seal and cause the release of the demonic qi. Mou Wenjie decided to reinforce the seal and injected his spiritual power into it, followed by his partners as well. However, the ancient demon struggled even more ferociously, with a clear intention of breaking free from the seal.
At this moment, Jiang Yurou and Xiao Yawen exchanged glances. They knew that their power was weak, but at this crucial time, they must do something. Both of them burned part of their own cultivation base into pure energy, rushing towards the seal. With everyone's efforts combined, they finally successfully reinforced the seal and completely suppressed the ancient demon.
Mou Wenjie looked at Jiang Yurou and Xiao Yawen with concern, but they smiled and said that as long as they could accompany him to protect the world, this sacrifice was nothing. Then, Mo Wenjie led the group back onto their journey, determined to save more places suffering through hardships.
As they traveled, they arrived at a barren area. The ground was barren of any vegetation, and the sky was shrouded in a dull gray. Mou Wenjie sensed an intense aura of resentment here. They searched around and discovered a massive pit. From within the pit, black energy occasionally dispersed.
Just as Mou Wenjie was about to go down to check, a large number of resentful spirits suddenly emerged around them. These spirits snarled and lunged towards them ferociously. Mou Wenjie and his companions quickly set up formations to defend themselves. Ding Yan waved her magical artifact, releasing one beam after another of spiritual light, temporarily immobilizing a portion of the resentful spirits.
Mou Wenjie concentrated his efforts and recited incantations to try and liberate the resentful spirits. As his spiritual powers were exerted, some of the weaker spirits gradually dispersed. However, at that very moment, a powerful suction emerged from below the pit, pulling Mou Wenjie towards the hole.
The group was shocked and quickly reached out to grab Mo Wenjie. Mou Wenjie stabilized his mind, closed his eyes, and formed hand seals. He shot out a beam of strong light towards the pit below. After the light faded, they saw a resentful spirit stone at the bottom of the pit, which was emitting resentful energy and creating resentful spirits. Mou Wenjie acted decisively, enclosing the spirit stone in spiritual power and storing it away for future resolution of the problem. After the crisis was resolved, they took a moment to rest before setting off towards their next destination to save others.
Mou Wenjie led his partners in cultivation, continuing their journey of exploration. They had no idea how long they had been traveling when suddenly, a ten-zhang-tall figure in black robes appeared ahead of them. Mou Wenjie glanced at him and shook his head, truly surprised by how rampant the demon cultivators were here.
Mou Wenjie spoke out loudly, "As a cultivator of demons, you have committed numerous evil deeds here. Today, it is us who will take care of you." The figure in the black robe burst into laughter: "With just you lot? You really don't know what death looks like." With that, he waved his sleeve, and a surge of powerful magical energy came crashing towards them. Mo Wenjie and his companions immediately mobilized their cultivation to resist.
Tuo Ba Yingying cried out angrily, summoning her magical artifact and transforming it into a chain of light that shot toward the figure in black robes. The figure in the black robe sneered and lightly flicked his finger, causing the chain of light to shatter into tiny beams of light. Mou Wenjie furrowed his brows; he sensed that the magical energy emanating from the figure in black robes was far more potent than any previous opponents they had faced.
At this moment, Qin Xiaodi quietly circled around the figure in black robes and launched a sudden attack. The figure in black robes seemed to have sensed this, and with a swift motion of his hand, he countered with a powerful blow. Just as they were about to collide, Mo Wenjie teleported to Qin Xiaodi's side and intercepted the blow with all his might. He spat out blood from his mouth but stood steady despite the pain.
Seeing this, all the women were filled with anger. They simultaneously concentrated their spiritual power onto Mo Wenjie. Mo Wenjie felt an overwhelming surge of energy within him, roaring and emitting a burst of bright light. He unleashed his most powerful technique, a dazzling beam of light shooting towards the figure in black robes. The figure in black robes was unable to dodge in time and suffered heavy blows, screaming in agony before ultimately disappearing into thin air. Mo Wenjie breathed a sigh of relief and continued his journey forward with his partners in cultivation.
Mo Wenjie led them not far before they were blocked by a group of demon cultivators on their path. Mo Wenjie looked at these cultivators; their strength was quite formidable, and it would indeed be difficult to win against them.
Mo Wenjie took a deep breath and whispered to his companions nearby, "When we engage in battle, be cautious and prioritize defense as needed." The women nodded in agreement. Mo Wenjie was the first to attack, sending a beam of spiritual power called a spirit blade towards the group of demon cultivators. However, the demon cultivators were unflappable; the leader waved his hand and easily blocked the attack with a magical barrier. Then, they all chanted incantations in unison, causing the air around them to seem as if it had solidified. Mo Wenjie felt immense pressure increase tenfold, and he quickly activated his cultivation to resist.
Suddenly, several bright flashes streaked across the sky. It was Huang Ling'er and her companions launching a counter-attack. Different magical artifacts shone with light, intertwining and forming a barrier that held off the demon cultivators' magical energy for a moment. Mo Wenjie saw his chance and closed his eyes, channeling all his spiritual power. Golden light began to glow around his entire body as he mumbled incantations under his breath. In an instant, a massive golden seal appeared in front of him and pressed towards the group of demon cultivators. The demon cultivators were shocked and tried their best to resist the powerful attack.
As the deadlock continued, an elderly man with white hair flew in from a distance. He roared, and a peaceful aura dispersed, causing the demon cultivators to retreat as if they had been severely injured.
The old man looked at Mo Wenjie and the others, smiling and said, "I have been searching for righteous people like you. Follow me, I will take you to a place that can help you enhance your strength and deal with demon cultivators." Mo Wenjie hesitated for a moment before ultimately deciding to trust the old man, and he led his companions to follow him.
The old man led Mo Wenjie and the others to a secluded valley, where an ancient pavilion stood amidst a faint glow. Pointing at the pavilion, he said, "This place holds countless cultivation techniques and rare pills of immeasurable power. However, it is also guarded by various restrictions and trials."
Mo Wenjie and the others entered the pavilion, and the first level was guarded by a flame formation. Mo Wenjie stepped in first, using his spiritual power to withstand the intense heat, with his companions following closely behind. Jiang Yurou noticed clues for breaking the formation etched on the walls, and they followed the hints to pass through smoothly. The second level was lined with traps of icy thorns, which could cause injury if not careful.
Ding Yan utilized agile body movements to navigate through the traps, scouting the way while everyone helped each other move forward. On the third level, a colossal vortex of spiritual power appeared, continuously drawing away from the group's spiritual force.
Mo Wenjie and his companions held hands and formed a circle, pooling their spiritual power to resist. Just as their spiritual energy was about to run out, Mo Wenjie noticed a control core at the center of the vortex, and with all his might, he moved closer to destroy it. After successfully destroying it, they reached the top level and discovered many treasures. As they were overjoyed, the old man suddenly revealed an eerie smile; it turned out he was a demon cultivator in disguise, intending to use the restrictions here to eliminate them and seize the treasures.
