After looking for a while, Mo Wenjie stood up and shook his head. "This dark power is very mysterious, my spiritual energy probe goes into it like a stone sinking into the sea."
The white-clad woman approached, reaching out her slender fingers to gently touch the seal. As she did so, a faint ray of light followed her fingertips into the seal, but it was quickly dispersed by a wave of black energy.
At that moment, the seal suddenly began to shake violently. The fine cracks started to widen rapidly. Everyone was shocked in their hearts and retreated quickly. In the darkness, a low laugh seemed to echo, sending chills down everyone's spines.
"No good, it's breaking through the seal." The white-clad woman's face was serious as she quickly formed hand seals and muttered incantations. A series of white light symbols flew towards the seal, temporarily containing its cracking trend. But this was only a temporary measure; the dark power kept attacking the light symbols, and it was at any moment that they might break through.
Mo Wenjie tightly clenched his teeth, revealing a hint of resolute in his eyes. He loudly declared, "At this point, we can only work together and take a risk! Let's all do our best together and try to strengthen this unstable seal!" After hearing these words, the others were initially stunned but quickly responded. They looked at each other and nodded heavily, indicating that they were willing to follow Mo Wenjie's suggestion.
The crowd swiftly took action, positioning themselves in an orderly manner around the mysterious seal that emitted a radiant glow. Each person's face reflected a solemn and focused demeanor, as if at that moment the entire world had shrunk down to the critical task before them. Following this, they began to draw upon the latent spiritual energy within their bodies, which flowed like a stream from their Dantian and gradually made its way along their meridians to their palms.
As everyone was ready, Mo Wenjie led the charge by emitting a low growl and unleashing the formidable spiritual energy he had condensed in his palm towards the seal. At the same time, others mirrored his movements, launching their own concentrated spiritual power. In an instant, multicolored light beams intertwined like dazzling rainbows, combining into a formidable force that crashed violently onto the seal. A thunderous roar filled the air, causing the space around to shudder as if shaken by an earthquake.
After seeing the seal reinforced, Mo Wenjie bowed to the white-clad woman in gratitude, thanking her for her assistance. "May I ask your surname and given name, miss?"
As I watched, the graceful woman in a white robe and snow-white clothes was gazing at Mo Wenjie with gentle eyes. Gradually, a satisfied smile appeared on her beautiful face, and she nodded lightly. Then she softly said, "I am an female from the silk school in the celestial realm. I am in charge of managing the silkworms and spinning silk." As she spoke, she slightly raised her right hand, and a flashing sword appeared in her hand. "This is my weapon of choice. My proficiency in swordsmanship is quite profound. That's why others call me 'Silk Fairy'." As she finished speaking, a breeze blew across, causing her black hair and skirt to flutter like a waterfall, adding to her extraordinary appearance.
Mo Wenjie, hearing this, hurriedly replied with a look of panic, "Just now, if it were not for the Silk Fairy's help, the outcome would have been unimaginable! This favor will be forever etched in my heart. If one day in the future, the Silk Fairy requires assistance from me, I will not hesitate to face any danger or die a thousand times. I will do everything within my power and never disappoint the Silk Fairy's kindness today!" After speaking, he deeply bowed to the Silk Fairy with his fists clasped together to express his gratitude and sincerity.
The Silk Fairy gently helped up Mo Wenjie, "Master Mo, you are too modest. I couldn't bear to see the dark force causing chaos in the celestial realm and decided to help." Mo Wenjie stood up straight, and the two exchanged a smile.
At this moment, the seal trembled again, though not as violently as before, it still caused everyone's concerns. Mo Wenjie frowned and said, "This dark power seems to have its roots, without removing the root, it is difficult to obtain peace." The Silk Fairy nodded in agreement, "Master Mo's words are absolutely correct. However, this dark source is hidden quite deeply."
Mo Wenjie pondered for a moment, "Fairy, I have heard of an ancient book that mentions a sacred artifact in the extreme east that might purify this dark power." The Silk Fairy's eyes lit up, "If that's the case, then let us go and seek it out."
After consulting with everyone, it was decided that Mo Wenjie and the Silk Fairy would go in search of the sacred artifact together, while the others remained to guard the seal. The two set off immediately for the extreme east. Along the way, Mo Wenjie witnessed many strange spells and techniques from the Silk Fairy, which he couldn't help but admire secretly in his heart.
The Silk Fairy also looked upon Mo Wenjie with admiration for his courage and determination. It remains to be seen what dangers and opportunities lie in wait for them at the extreme east, but they move forward with unwavering conviction.
After days of journeying, Mo Wenjie and the Silk Fairy finally reached the edge of the extreme east. A faint mist enveloped the area, permeating a chill through the air.
As soon as they stepped in, they encountered a group of beasts resembling wolves but covered in flames. Mo Wenjie drew his sword and launched a fierce sword attack, while the Silk Fairy threw her silk threads to entangle many of the beasts.
As they ventured deeper into the heart of the land, they discovered an ancient sanctuary. The sanctuary's gates were tightly shut, surrounded by intricate runes. Mo Wenjie studied them for a long time and attempted to break them with his spiritual energy. Suddenly, a strong light shot out, throwing Mo Wenjie back. The Silk Fairy used her divine magic to protect him, and in doing so, sustained some minor injuries herself.
Just as the two of them were at a loss, a golden leaf fell from the sky, bearing the words "Only those with true hearts may obtain the sacred artifact." Mo Wenjie calmed down and sincerely offered worship to the sanctuary. The gate slowly opened, revealing a transparent crystal ball inside that was emitting a soft light.
Mo Wenjie took a deep breath and carefully approached, extending his hands to gently lift the brilliant crystal ball. As soon as his fingers brushed against it, a wondrous sensation surged through him, as if a clear and powerful pure energy flowed into his body like a tide.
As this pure energy passed through him, Mo Wenjie felt that the agitation in his body gradually calmed down, and he felt incredibly light and comfortable. He was filled with excitement as he knew that the crystal ball, which was emitting a mysterious glow, was the sacred artifact they had been searching for that could purify the dark power!
The Silk Fairy, standing by the side, saw the joyous look on Mo Wenjie's face and couldn't help but smile slightly. Their gazes met, and from each other's eyes, they both read the same anticipation and excitement.
Without any hesitation, Mo Wenjie held the crystal ball tightly to his chest and, together with the Silk Fairy, turned around and set off on their return journey. Along the way, they walked briskly, with joyful hearts. Their minds were filled with thoughts of quickly returning home to use this sacred artifact to eliminate the persistent dark power that has been troubling people and restore the world to clarity and peace.
Mo Wenjie and the Silk Fairy sped day and night on their return journey. However, halfway, the sky suddenly darkened with clouds, and thunder and lightning flashed. The dark power seemed to sense danger approaching and dispatched puppets to seize the crystal ball. These puppets appeared like ghosts, moving with incredible speed. Mo Wenjie clung tightly to the crystal ball while the Silk Fairy unsheathed her sword and engaged in battle with the puppets. But the number of puppets was overwhelming, surrounding them gradually.
Faced with the emergency, Mo Wenjie was anxious and frantic. He focused his spirit, infusing his own spiritual energy into the crystal ball. Instantly, the crystal ball shone with dazzling light, and the puppets that came close were struck by the light and vanished instantly. The Silk Fairy took advantage of this opportunity to weave a silk thread formation that trapped the remaining puppets.
Taking advantage of the situation with the puppets trapped, Mo Wenjie and the Silk Fairy rushed forward as quickly as they could. However, before they could run for too long, a new group of puppets appeared in front of their path. Holding the crystal ball tightly, Mo Wenjie's forehead was already covered in sweat due to the heavy consumption of his spiritual energy. The Silk Fairy gripped her sword tightly and let out a loud shout as she charged towards the group of puppets. Seeing this, Mo Wenjie also summoned what remained of his strength to continue fighting.
In the midst of peril, several streaks of escape lights appeared from afar. It was the comrades who had been guarding the seal earlier, having heard the news and coming to provide support. Upon joining the battle, the situation immediately changed for the better. The puppets retreated in defeat and eventually dispersed into black smoke.
Mo Wenjie and the others didn't dare to delay, racing back to the seal location as fast as they could. Mo Wenjie placed the crystal ball on top of the seal, guiding the pure energy within it slowly to flow into the seal. The dark power resisted furiously, but with everyone's combined efforts, the pure energy gradually seeped in. A brilliant light flashed suddenly, and the dark power was completely purified. The seal regained its solidity.
At this moment, a deafening cheer erupted on the scene! People were so excited that they danced with their hands, their faces radiating with unbridled joy. Among the cheering crowd, Mo Wenjie and the Silk Fairy stood quietly together. After a mutual glance, they couldn't help but smile warmly at each other.
Looking back on this journey filled with countless difficult and dangerous obstacles, their hearts were filled with feelings of admiration and respect. Along the way, they encountered numerous powerful enemies who attempted to attack them, and faced various life-threatening tests, but they never gave up their unwavering belief to protect the tranquility of this land.
Regardless of the eerie depths of the dense forest, or the rugged cliffs with howling winds; be it the witchcraft of evil spirits attacking them, or a relentless assault from ruthless villains, Mo Wenjie and the Silk Fairy fought side by side and collaborated closely.
In every moment that was breathtaking and fraught with danger, they were like stars that clung to each other, illuminating and supporting each other. Faced with one crisis after another, they never wavered in the slightest. Instead, they motivated each other with determined eyes and comforting words to press on bravely.
Time flies, and the prolonged and heroic battle seemed like an endless nightmare, but they persevered through gritted teeth, never giving up. Sweat soaked their clothing, and blood dyed the ground beneath their feet. Yet their belief burned like a fierce fire, growing stronger with each passing moment.
Finally, after enduring countless life-and-death battles, the rays of victory pierced through the thick clouds, illuminating the once war-torn land. The invading foes retreated like waves, leaving behind only devastation and lingering smoke in the air. However, none of this could dim their radiant glow of victory and the peace and tranquility they brought to protect this land.
At this very moment, Mo Wenjie and the Silk Fairy stood side by side, looking at the joyful and unrestrained celebration of Huang Ling'er and Jiang YuRou and the others. They felt a wave of indescribable satisfaction in their hearts. With their weary faces, they smiled brilliantly, which was the best reward for all their hard work.
Looking back on the past, the journey they had embarked on was riddled with thorns and obstacles. How many times had they been on the brink of death, and how many times had they teetered on the edge of despair? But it was precisely because of that unbreakable bond of friendship and indomitable courage that they overcame all difficulties and emerged victorious in the end. Now, witnessing this scene of harmony and joy before their eyes, they knew that all the hardships they had endured were worth it.
