Suddenly, as everyone was immersed in joy, the sky turned dark with thick clouds, and a powerful and sinister aura spread. Mo Wenjie furrowed his brow, sensing the approach of danger. "Be careful everyone!" Mo Wenjie shouted.
Only then did a group of mysterious people in black robes appear in the distance. The person in charge, with a sinister laugh, said, "We want that pill." It turned out that they were the evil cultivators who had been coveting that pill. Mo Wenjie tightly held the pill and said, "Impossible!" The women also stepped up their fighting positions.
Without hesitation, the evil cultivators launched their attacks. Various dark magic rained down from the sky. Mo Wenjie summoned defensive formations to temporarily withstand the attack, while directing the women to counterattack. At that moment, flashes of light and clashing sounds of magic filled the heavens and earth.
Mo Wenjie knew that he could not wait passively for death. He quietly handed over the pill to his most trusted Huang Ling'er to keep, then formed hand seals and mobilized all his spiritual power to charge at the leader of the evil cultivators. An intense hand-to-hand battle ensued, and Mo Wenjie, with his exquisite skills, gradually gained the upper hand. The leader of the evil cultivators, unable to withstand, fled with his followers in a disorganized manner. Mo Wenjie turned to look at the women, and they smiled at each other before continuing to prepare to enhance their power with the help of the pill.
However, before the crowd could start their action, the ground suddenly shook violently. A huge demonic hand broke through the soil, followed by a giant evil cultivator beast, slowly standing up, as large as mountains and rivers. This was the last resort of the evil cultivators, a terrifying existence summoned by merging with the underground magical vein.
Mo Wenjie's expression changed, but he didn't hesitate to charge forward again. The women also followed him closely, using their strongest magic attacks towards the giant beast. The giant beast swung its massive arms, easily dispelling many of the magical attacks.
Mo Wenjie brought his spiritual power to its peak, transforming into a beam of light that stabbed straight into the beast's eyes. The giant beast, in pain and fury, began to wildly attack. At this moment, Huang Ling'er came up with a plan. She quietly circled around to the beast's back and summoned the pill. The pill emitted a dazzling light, attracting the beast's attention.
Mo Wenjie saw this and immediately understood the situation, without hesitation, he gathered all his spiritual power and cooperated closely with Huang Ling'er. At that moment when the giant beast was distracted by other things, Mo Wenjie concentrated the power of everyone present, and cast a spell of incredible strength. This spell, like lightning, sliced through the sky with a destructive force, directly hitting the beast's vital area!
A thunderous roar echoed, and the massive frame of the beast shuddered fiercely before collapsing like a crumbling mountain. A brilliant flash of light flickered by, and the beast's body gradually disintegrated, eventually turning into wisps of smoke that vanished into thin air.
With this, the great threat from the evil cultivators was finally eliminated thoroughly. Mo Wenjie and the women lowered their hearts from their throats, releasing a long breath as they let out smiles of relief.
Next, they didn't waste any time, and they took out precious pills one by one to start cultivating. These pills contained extremely rich spiritual energy and medicinal power, which could help them quickly enhance their own strength. Mo Wenjie closed his eyes, adjusted his breath, and guided the spiritual power in the pills to walk around his meridians. As the spiritual energy continuously nourished his body, he could clearly feel that his cultivation was gradually increasing bit by bit.
Huang Ling'er, Jiang Yu Rou, Xiao Ya Wen, Ding Yan, Tuobaying, Qin Xiao Die, and Cao Chunling were all fully absorbed in their cultivation. Each of them hoped to take advantage of this rare opportunity to break through their current bottleneck and advance to a higher level of cultivation. For a moment, the space was filled with a strong wave of spiritual energy, as if creating a massive spiritual energy field.
As everyone was focusing on their cultivation, the surrounding spiritual energy suddenly became chaotic. Mo Wenjie's heart jumped, and when he opened his eyes, he saw many small space cracks appearing around him. It turned out that after the battle with the evil cultivator beast, although they had defeated it, they had disrupted the stability of this place.
Mo Wenjie hurriedly reminded everyone to stop cultivating. But at this point, some strange creatures burst out of the cracks. They were neither mist nor solid, constantly changing in shape. As soon as they appeared, they went mad and started devouring the remaining spiritual energy.
Mo Wenjie knew that he had to deal with these creatures quickly, or else not only would their cultivation be fruitless, but their lives might be in danger as well. He led the women in a combined effort to cast a large purification spell, hoping to dispel these alien beings. However, these creatures merely retreated slightly before surging forward again.
In a crucial moment, Mo Wenjie remembered a mention of a sealing array in ancient texts that might be able to deal with these creatures. With his gaze burning like a torch, he looked at the creatures and said, "You really are hard to get rid of! I'll show you today how to completely eliminate you!"
In an instant, he moved with lightning speed to stand in front of Huang Ling'er, Jiang Yu Rou, Xiao Ya Wen, Ding Yan, Tuobaying, Qin Xiao Die, and Cao Chunling. He spoke quickly and seriously about the key points of the array and the position each person needed to take. These women were all exceptionally intelligent, quickly understanding his meaning and taking immediate action.
Huang Ling'er moved gracefully, like a divine maiden dancing in the air, reaching her designated position first; Jiang Yu Rou walked with steady steps, as if a mountain was standing firm; Xiao Ya Wen smiled as she moved, exuding an aura of elegance; Ding Yan acted swiftly, like a lively swallow; Tuobaying was resolute and imposing, exuding an innate domineering presence; Qin Xiao Die was small and cute but her eyes revealed determination and courage; Cao Chunling was composed and calm, giving an immense sense of reassurance.
Once all of them had stood in place, they took a deep breath together, continuously pouring their spiritual energy into the array beneath their feet. In an instant, the entire array burst into brilliant light, shining brightly into the sky as if illuminating the entire heavens and earth. The light formed a massive whirlpool and generated a powerful suction force that gradually drew those strange and bizarre creatures that were originally wild and fierce into it.
As time passed, more and more of the strange creatures were drawn into the array. They struggled frantically within, but all their efforts were in vain. Eventually, all the strange creatures were completely sealed within the array, no longer able to stir up trouble.
After the crisis was relieved, Mo Wenjie wiped away the sweat on his forehead and took a deep breath. He looked at the exhausted but joyful crowd in front of him and couldn't help but feel a warm current in his heart. After this joint battle, their understanding and trust towards each other had been deepened greatly.
"It's not advisable to stay here for too long!" Mo Wenjie looked around with a serious face, his furrowed brow hinting at the impending danger. Hearing this, everyone's expressions turned worried, and they all looked at Mo Wenjie.
Mo Wenjie took a deep breath and continued, "Although it seems peaceful here, I feel there's an undercurrent of danger. The longer we stay here, the greater the risk. In my opinion, we should finish up and find another safe place so that everyone can cultivate in peace and enhance their strength." After speaking, he looked around eagerly, his eyes filled with urgency.
The others, after a moment of silence, nodded in agreement, showing their support for Mo Wenjie's proposal. One person concurred, "Indeed, what Brother Mo says is absolutely correct. This place does give us an uneasy feeling, and it's best to leave sooner rather than later." Another quickly chimed in: "That's right! We can't take any risks with our lives. Finding a new place to settle down is our top priority."
Since the group had reached a consensus, there was no more hesitation. They quickly packed their belongings, checking for any important items they might have missed. Once everything was ready, they took determined steps and once again embarked on a new journey filled with the unknown and challenges.
Mo Wenjie and the others, including Huang Ling'er, Jiang Yu Rou, Xiao Ya Wen, Ding Yan, Tuobaying, Qin Xiao Die, and Cao Chunling were proceeding along the winding mountain path. The surrounding trees were lush and densely packed, and the occasional bird call could be heard. However, at this moment, the group had no interest in appreciating the beautiful scenery. Their thoughts were solely focused on finding a safe haven as quickly as possible. Along the way, they moved cautiously and vigilantly, looking around nervously in case something unexpected happened.
As they walked, a dense fog forest suddenly appeared ahead. Mo Wenjie stopped and carefully examined it. "This place feels very strange; be extremely careful," he said. Upon entering the forest, they discovered ancient structures lurking within the mist. Mo Wenjie gestured for everyone to approach and investigate. As they approached an old temple, the door suddenly swung open, and a beam of ominous light enveloped them. In an instant, they were transported to a strange space they had never seen before.
Here, everywhere were inscriptions that emitted a faint glow, along with some strange mechanical devices. Just as the group was puzzled, a voice spoke: "Strangers, you must solve the mystery here to leave and claim the treasure." Mo Wenjie composed himself and began to study the inscriptions. The women also searched for clues. Suddenly, Xiao Ya Wen triggered a mechanism, and numerous illusions attacked them.
Mo Wenjie was blocking the illusions while shouting, "Don't panic, follow the pattern to decipher the inscriptions and stop the illusions." The group worked together, successfully deciphering the inscriptions and dispelling the illusions. At this moment, a door at the end of the space slowly opened, emitting a golden glow as if it truly contained boundless treasures and a safe place for cultivation. Mo Wenjie and the others exchanged a smile before walking towards the door.
As they were about to reach the door, intricate patterns suddenly appeared on the ground beneath their feet. Currents surged from various points. Mo Wenjie realized this was another test. He carefully observed the direction of the currents and noticed that they had a subtle connection with certain inscriptions on the wall. Therefore, he instructed everyone to move according to the sequence of the inscriptions to avoid the currents. It took some effort, but they finally managed to pass this obstacle. Just as they were about to breathe a sigh of relief, the door suddenly shut. The temperature dropped sharply around them, and ice spears shot from all directions.
Mo Wenjie quickly created a protective barrier with his spiritual energy, and the women helped reinforce it. As they were all working together to resist the ice spears, Huang Ling'er discovered that the frequency of the ice spikes was related to the star map overhead. Mo Wenjie looked up and adjusted the angle of the barrier according to the changes in the star map. After the ice spikes attack stopped, the door to the space opened again.
The group entered the door, and instead of the gold and silver treasures they had imagined, there were many manuals that radiated spiritual light and numerous cushions that emitted a strong spiritual force. Mo Wenjie realized that these were the true treasures—appropriate cultivation techniques. They excitedly chose their own manuals and sat on the cushions to begin another round of cultivation journey, determined to improve their strength here and face more unknown dangers in the future.
