However, the days of calm did not last long. One day, dark clouds suddenly covered the city sky and a strong evil aura spread out. The aura disturbed Golden Boy's cultivation and also threw the citizens into panic. Golden Boy and his friends realized that a great crisis was approaching.
They searched for news everywhere and found out that it was a demon cultivator who had been sealed for a thousand years that had broken through the restriction. This cultivator aspired to rule the entire city and absorb the vitality of everyone to enhance his cultivation. Golden Boy and others decided to stand up against this, knowing full well the overwhelming strength of their opponent.
In the battle, Golden Boy took the lead and charged towards the demon cultivator, unleashing all his might to confront him. His friends cooperated seamlessly, some defending against the attack waves released by the demon cultivator, while others searched for his weaknesses to give auxiliary strikes. Despite their injuries, they overcame the adversary with their unwavering faith and deep camaraderie. They finally found the demon cultivator's fatal point and defeated him decisively. After this battle, their names rang even louder, and their epic legends were further enriched with vibrant strokes.
Mowenjie, together with Huang Ling'er, Jiang Yurou, Xiao Yawen, Ding Yan, Tuo Bai Yingying, Qin Xiaodie, Cao Chunling, and the mysterious and enigmatic Golden Silk Fairy, found themselves in this strange world of the Six Realms. Undeterred, they pressed on courageously towards the unknown ahead.
They all held hearts full of curiosity and anticipation, eager to uncover the many mysteries hidden behind this mysterious domain. Along the way, the surrounding scenery changed countless times, sometimes with clouds and mist surrounding, making one feel as if they were in a fairyland; sometimes with strange peaks jutting out, rough and craggy stones, giving one a thrilling and exciting feeling.
Mowenjie walked at the front of the group. He stood tall, his gaze firm and sharp, always alert to any potential dangers. Huang Ling'er followed closely behind, draped in white robes that floated gracefully, resembling a celestial maiden descending from heaven. Jiang Yurou held a long sword, exuding an air of splendor and courage that was not inferior to men.
Xiao Yawen was gentle and endearing, frequently whispering to her companions beside her, adding a touch of relaxation to the tense atmosphere. Ding Yan was lively and active, hopping and skipping along like a nimble little bird. Tuobaying Yingying was solemn-faced, reserved in speech, yet her eyes revealed an unwavering determination.
Qin Xiaodie was charming and cute, always discovering interesting and novel things that attracted everyone to stop and watch. Cao Chunling was mature and stable, silently observing everyone in the group to ensure everyone's safety. The Golden Silk Fairy stood out even more, as she emitted a faint golden light around her, making her appearance dreamlike and enchanting, causing people to be captivated by it.
That's it! They took firm and resolute steps, without hesitation, to tread on this path full of thorns and difficulties. Along the way, various hardships and challenges flooded like a tide, but they showed no signs of fear, pressing forward courageously.
In the dense jungle, poisonous vines intertwined and sharp thorns seemed to tear people apart; on the steep cliffs, rocks jutted out and a slip-up could plunge one into a bottomless chasm; in the swift river, reefs were scattered and raging waves could swallow people at any moment... Yet nothing could deter them from their forward march.
With their sharp swords, Mowenjie and his companions cut through the poisonous vines, clearing a path; they used their hands and feet to climb the cliffs, ascending step by step; they worked together, maneuvering small boats through rapids and treacherous currents. Each time they overcame difficulties, it was a tempering of their own strength and willpower.
Sweat soaked their clothes, exhaustion wore down their bodies, but their belief in heart was like a burning flame, burning even stronger.
Since Mowenjie and Huang Ling'er, Jiang Yurou, Xiao Yawen, Ding Yan, Tuo Bai Yingying, Qin Xiaodie, Cao Chunling, and the Golden Silk Fairy all understood that in order to gradually approach the mysterious and enticing depths of the Six Realms and ultimately successfully uncover the many secrets hidden within, it would be necessary to courageously face and overcome the great challenges posed by each layer of difficulty and obstacles.
Each checkpoint was a severe test of their strength, wisdom, and perseverance, but the group showed no sign of backing down.
On the contrary, Mowenjie and Huang Ling'er held firm beliefs and unwavering determination, trudging forward one step at a time towards their goal. Despite the rough and uneven path, littered with thorns and traps, they were fearless, always believing that as long as they persevered, they would certainly break through the numerous difficulties and reach the mysterious and enticing destination.
Just as they crossed another perilous peak, a seven-colored light curtain suddenly descended from the sky. From within the curtain emerged an elderly man, his aura resembling that of a venerable sage. The old man looked at them, nodding slightly, "You all have commendable courage. However, ahead lies the true core area of the Six Realms——Spirit Mind Valley. Within the valley lie treasures that can significantly enhance your cultivation level, but there are also guardian beasts that are extremely fierce."
Mowenjie stepped forward, bowed, and said, "Thank you, elder, for your warning; we will not retreat." Upon entering the Spirit Mind Valley, they saw rare flowers and herbs glowing with light. But soon, a Qilin beast with a massive body roared out. It was engulfed in flames, its hooves pounding the ground and causing the valley to tremble.
Mowenjie shouted, "Let's charge together!" And the crowd attacked the Qilin beast with their respective skills. The Golden Silk Fairy tried to entangle the Qilin beast with golden silk, while others attacked. Although the Qilin beast was powerful, after a fierce battle, the group managed to find brief gaps in its attacks.
At the critical moment, Mowenjie's eyes blazed with intensity, fixated on every movement of the Qilin beast. He was fully concentrated, not missing any openings. The opportunity presented itself! He seemed to vanish from his spot, darting towards the Qilin beast with lightning speed, his long sword slicing through the air in a razor-sharp arc.
In an instant, the sword accurately pierced the vital spot of the Qilin beast. There was a heavy roar, and the massive body of the Qilin beast shook violently before collapsing to the ground. As it fell, a powerful energy wave spread out from its body, raising a gust of wind.
Following that, a astonishing phenomenon occurred. The Qilin beast's body began to become transparent, as if it had transformed into countless particles shimmering with faint light. These particles slowly rose and eventually vanished into the air, just like stars in the night sky gradually fading away.
Upon seeing this, the group could not help but breathe a sigh of relief. The intense battle had kept their hearts pounding in their throats, and now at last, it was over. However, they had no time to celebrate their victory, as this valley held many precious spiritual substances waiting to be discovered by them.
Thus, Mowenjie, Huang Ling'er, Jiang Yurou, Xiao Yawen, Ding Yan, Tuo Bai Yingying, Qin Xiaodie, Cao Chunling and the Golden Silk Fairy all moved to action. They widened their eyes, carefully searching every inch of land, every stone and every plant in the valley. Each of them had eyes full of excitement and anticipation, eager to discover those legendary treasures.
Suddenly, a faint glow emanated from the ground under Mowenjie's feet. He bent down, gently parted the soil, and a crystal-clear bead emerged. The bead radiated a gentle spiritual energy wave, as if it held endless power.
The group gathered around, their eyes filled with surprise. As they were admiring the bead, the surrounding flowers, grasses, and trees seemed to be summoned and began to grow wildly, instantly trapping them in a green cage.
Just as the group panicked, the Golden Silk Fairy clasped her hands and chanted incantations. A beam of golden light shot out from her, and those wild-growing plants began to wilt slowly.
At this moment, the melodious sound of a flute came from afar. Following the sound, a young woman appeared standing by an old tree, playing a flute. In front of her was a jade box, containing a plant that emitted nine different colors of light. Mowenjie was about to approach when the ground suddenly split open, and several vines shot out, wrapping around them.
Huang Ling'er used her magic to repel the vines, while Jiang Yurou took the opportunity to fly toward the woman and grab the immortal grass. After a round of twisting and turning, Jiang Yurou finally snatched the immortal grass. With their treasure in hand, they carefully continued to explore the mysterious depths of the Spirit Mind Valley.
As they walked, the group arrived at the edge of a tranquil lake. The water was crystal clear and bottomless, yet it carried a trace of chill. In the center of the lake was an island with a distant building that looked like a palace. Mowenjie felt there must be some secret there, so after discussing among themselves, they decided to cross the lake and set foot on the island.
As soon as they stepped into the lake, the water surface surged with great waves, and a water monster emerged from the water. The monster was fully covered in scales, and it spat out ice spears towards them. Mowenjie let out a loud shout, using his spiritual power to form a shield to block the ice spears. Huang Ling'er and the Golden Silk Fairy worked together to cast spells, launching one after another of magical lights towards the water monster. Jiang Yurou went around the side of the water monster to look for its weakness. The water monster noticed and swung its tail to sweep at Jiang Yurou, but Xiao Yawen managed to throw out a silk ribbon to tie her up and pull her back to the shore safely.
The group adjusted their strategy, with Tuo Bai Yingying attracting the water monster's attention, while the rest focused their firepower on attacking the monster's eyes. After a fierce battle, their attacks paid off as the water monster was injured and retreated to the lake. The group seized this opportunity to board the island and head towards the mysterious palace. The palace gate was tightly shut, adorned with numerous runes.
Mowenjie took a deep breath, focused his spirit, and continuously gathered his spiritual energy into the palm of his hand. He carefully placed his palm against the closed and mysterious gate, then gently pushed the spiritual energy upwards towards the door.
Only to see that the originally motionless gate began to tremble. As Mowenjie continuously increased the output of his spiritual energy, the gate finally made a low rumble and slowly opened towards both sides.
The moment the gate was completely opened, a dense mist of spiritual energy surged out from the doorway like a torrent, engulfing everyone. This mist carried an incredible power and vitality that made people feel invigorated and refreshed after just one breath.
In the face of this astonishing sight, everyone widened their eyes, their faces filled with disbelief. However, soon their hearts were overtaken by anticipation. They stepped forward eagerly, each one rushing into the palace filled with the unknown and wonders.
