Just when Mo Wenjie and others felt that they could rule the quadrascence without fear, a sudden voice came! What credentials do you have to boast in the quadrascence? You really have no sense of proportion, except for the Xuan Tai Ping Yu Heaven. Know what the Xuan Tai Ping Yu Heaven is? It's where the celestial horses are trained. Have you heard of Sun Wukong, the Bima-Wen who rose to work there? Just because you few think yourselves superior to Sun Wukong, don't be so absurd!
Mo Wenjie and others heard this, their hearts were not satisfied but knew that what the other party said was not false. Mo Wenjie took a step forward and bowed, "Senior gives advice well, we indeed have some conceit, but I do not know what senior intends to do?" The voice rang again: "Hmph, see how modest you are. Today I will tell you about the power of the Milky Way."
The celestial horses in the Milky Way are all extraordinary, each with the power to destroy heavens and earth, and the guardians of these horses are a gathering of masters." Upon hearing this, everyone could not help but show expressions of alarm. At this moment, the mysterious person revealed their figure, revealing an elderly man with white hair.
The old man continued, "However, since you have come to this quadrascence, you are destined to be together. If you want to truly establish yourself here, you must go through the experience of the Milky Way." Mo Wenjie gritted his teeth and said, "Thank you for your guidance, we are willing to give it a try." The old man nodded slightly and waved his sleeve, and a beam of light enveloped Mo Wenjie and others, transporting them instantly to the side of the Milky Way.
Looking at the turbulent Milky Way and the imposing celestial horses, Mo Wenjie clenched his fists and his eyes grew determined. A brand new challenge awaited them.
Mo Wenjie stepped into the Milky Way domain first, and the others followed suit upon seeing him. As soon as they got close, a powerful force hit them, the wind pressure from the galloping celestial horses. Mo Wenjie mobilized his spiritual energy to steady his body and focused his eyes tightly on a less powerful celestial horse. He knew he had to progress step by step and not be impatient.
As he approached the celestial horse, the horse suddenly lifted its front leg and let out a loud neigh. Thunder and lightning seemed to be emanating from its hooves. Mo Wenjie quickly dodged to the side and reached out to grab the reins, but the horse struggled violently, trying to throw him off.
Meanwhile, his comrades chose their own celestial horses to engage in combat as well. Some were thrown out into the air by the celestial horses and landed heavily on the shore; others clung to the horse's neck, unable to let go.
Mo Wenjie took a deep breath, mobilized his entire spiritual energy, and infused it into the reins, trying to tame the rebellious celestial horse. After a fierce battle, the horse gradually calmed down and its hostility in the eyes lessened. Mo Wenjie mounted the celestial horse and circled in the air, declaring his initial victory. The others were encouraged and fought even harder with their celestial horses.
Qin Xiaodie was the last one to tame the celestial horse. She felt very guilty in her heart. How many people were there, and why was she always the last one? No matter what kind of situation, it was herself who was dragging her friends behind, no way! Although she had no talent, the early bird catches the worm, she would have to put in more diligence and effort than them. Otherwise, she would always be at the bottom, and losing face like that would be a big embarrassment!
Qin Xiaodie came to a quiet place alone and worked hard on her cultivation every day. She observed the habits of the celestial horses and searched through ancient texts for methods to tame them. One day, she discovered a fragment of an ancient scroll that mentioned a special herb that was extremely effective in calming the mind of celestial horses. She ventured into a valley at her own risk to search for this herb. After much hardship, she finally found the herb.
With the herb in hand, Qin Xiaodie faced the celestial horse again. To her surprise, the horse came to her willingly. She guessed that the herb's aura made the horse feel at ease. Qin Xiaodie gently stroked the horse and successfully mounted it.
After this event, everyone looked up to Qin Xiaodie. Mo Wenjie smiled at her and said, "Xiaodie, you've managed to catch up and even surpass others!"
Qin Xiaodie laughed awkwardly. From then on, she understood that as long as one is willing to work hard and study diligently, even with insufficient talent, one can achieve something. Moreover, this experience greatly boosted her confidence. In the subsequent cultivation challenges, she overcame herself through unwavering perseverance and no longer was the burden of the team. Instead, she became an indispensable member, progressing with her companions towards higher levels of cultivation practice.
Jiang YuRou looked at them and said, "We are all his disciples, and we all want to help him. Since we all have this thought, let's not differentiate ourselves or feel inferior. Whoever is first or last, it's all very normal. After all, every cultivator has a first and a last. We don't need to care about these things too much; what's important is that we put our hearts into it!"
Everyone nodded in deep agreement after listening to Jiang YuRou's words. At this moment, Mo Wenjie stepped forward and looked at the women and said: "You all have helped me so wholeheartedly, I will never let you down. Although we have established our foothold in the quadrascence, there are many hardships ahead."
As they were speaking, a dark cloud surged from the horizon, accompanied by eerie laughter. A black-cloaked figure slowly emerged, "Mo Wenjie, do you think taming the celestial horses will let you rest easy? The quadrascence is not threatened by the Milky Way alone."
Mo Wenjie's face turned serious, and he stood in front of the others, blocking their way. The black-cloaked man said, "I am an envoy of the Dark Shadow Demon Lord. I have been sent specifically to stop you all from proceeding."
Jiang YuRou stepped forward, with her hands making a seal and a gentle light emanating from her surroundings, "Regardless of who you are, we will face it together." Everyone also assumed a combat stance. Mo Wenjie launched the first attack, charging towards the black-cloaked man, followed by the others. For a moment, the clash of spiritual energy echoed through the sky.
The black-cloaked man was caught off guard by their seamless coordination and gradually found himself at a disadvantage. Finally, Mo Wenjie unleashed a powerful move that pushed the black-cloaked man back. The group looked at each other and smiled, their determination to fight side by side even stronger.
The black-cloaked man looked at Mo Wenjie and the others, "You think you're so great after taming the celestial horses? You haven't won yet! I didn't bring any people today, but I didn't expect there to be so many of you. So today, I got what I deserved. But this won't be in vain. Someday, I will return the favor a hundredfold! Don't think just because you've tamed the celestial horses, you can rule the quadrascence without limits. Even Sun Wukong, when he was in the quadrascence, didn't dare to act carelessly. And what of me? The Dark Shadow Demon Lord is here as well - if you don't worship and kneel before him, you will be punished severely! Believe me!"
Mo Wenjie scoffed coldly, "Dark Shadow Demon Lord? We only worship our own way. How could we kneel before others?" The black-cloaked man was infuriated and said, "Then don't blame me for being ruthless." Without another word, he took out a black horn and blew it with all his might. In an instant, the sky and earth changed color, and a group of demons and devils surged around.
Mo Wenjie and the others did not flinch, forming a circle with their backs to each other. Qin Xiaodie whispered, "Be careful, there are many demons." Jiang YuRou replied, "It's fine as long as we work together." The group began to perform a combined spell, creating a huge protective shield around them. The demons and devils surged forward, crashing against the shield and sparking off waves of spiritual light.
Mo Wenjie saw his chance and let out a loud battle cry, breaking through the shield and charging towards the black-cloaked man. His long sword shone brilliantly, like a dragon emerging from the sea, aimed directly at the black-cloaked man. The black-cloaked man was terrified and immediately summoned dark energy to defend himself. However, Mo Wenjie's sword stroke was fierce, and it still managed to slice through the black-cloaked man's robe. The black-cloaked man realized that he was no match for Mo Wenjie in a one-on-one fight and decided to retreat.
Mo Wenjie shouted: "Where do you think you're going? It's not that easy." The group casted a binding spell together, trapping the black-cloaked man and some of the demons. The black-cloaked man called out in despair, "The Dark Shadow Demon Lord will not spare you all."
Mo Wenjie said, "Then we'll wait for him. You better send a message to your Dark Shadow Demon Lord to come and save you, otherwise, it will be very difficult for you to see the sun tomorrow. It's not that I look down on you, nor do I look down on your so-called Dark Shadow Demon Lord. We have come to the quadrascence, and we are by no means ordinary people. If you really think we are ordinary, then you are deeply mistaken. Today, I will show you who is someone you cannot afford to offend!"
Soon after, dark clouds covered the sky, and a bolt of purple lightning struck down. The Dark Shadow Demon Lord appeared. He exuded an chilling aura that sent shivers down the spines of those around him. His eyes were like a deep black hole. "You insignificant worms dare speak with such arrogance." The cold voice of the Dark Shadow Demon Lord echoed through the air.
Mo Wenjie looked up directly at the Dark Shadow Demon Lord, without the slightest fear in his eyes, "Your underlings came to provoke us unprovoked; we were only defending ourselves." The Dark Shadow Demon Lord coldly snorted and raised his hand, sending a dark wave of energy towards the group. They fought back together but were pushed back several steps. Jiang YuRou thought quickly and secretly released a concealed trace of celestial power, secretly contacting the white-haired elder she had met at the Milky Way. While both sides were engaged in fierce battle, the elder suddenly appeared. "Dark Shadow Demon Lord, it's been years; you still act so autocratically." The elder said calmly.
The Dark Shadow Demon Lord saw the old man and furrowed his brow, asking, "Why do you want to interfere in this matter?" The old man laughed and said, "These children have great potential; I cannot bear to see them perish." The Dark Shadow Demon Lord weighed the pros and cons and knew that the old man was not someone he could easily deal with. "Today, I will let you off for now. You won't be so lucky next time," he said before turning with the black-cloaked man and his demons and demons.
Mo Wenjie breathed a sigh of relief and turned to thank the old man. After this battle, they realized that they still needed to continuously enhance their strength in this quadrascence. Therefore, they threw themselves even more diligently into their cultivation practices.
Mo Wenjie and the others began to search for a new place to cultivate. They had heard that there was a spiritual peak in the quadrascence, which was covered with rare treasures that could help enhance their cultivation. Along the way, they encountered many small demon creatures, but they easily dealt with them. When they reached the foot of the spiritual peak, they saw misty clouds swirling around, and the spiritual energy was so dense it seemed almost tangible.
Just as they were about to climb the mountain, a guarding beast blocked their path. The guarding beast looked like a unicorn with flames all over its body. Mo Wenjie approached it and tried to communicate, saying that they only wanted to borrow the spiritual land for cultivation. However, the guarding beast said, "The treasures on the spiritual peak are not something that outsiders can covet."
The group had no choice but to launch a strong attack. Mo Wenjie executed his most powerful sword technique, Qin Xiaodie aided everyone's defense with the power of spiritual herbs, and Jiang YuRou used Daoist arts to disrupt the guarding beast's vision. After enduring much hardship, the guarding beast was no longer a match for them. It suddenly spoke up: "As long as you promise not to harm the ecological system of the spiritual peak, you can climb up."
Mo Wenjie agreed. Upon reaching the peak, they indeed found many rare spiritual substances. With these resources, their cultivation levels greatly increased, and their reputation in the quadrascence grew louder as well. However, they knew that there were more challenges ahead waiting for them and that they should not slack off at all. They continued to diligently cultivate day and night.
