"With the continuous improvement of our strength, many people in the crowd began to harbor the desire to explore wider cultivation realms. Mo Wenjie was the first to speak: 'Our current power is no longer comparable to the past. I have heard that there is an ancient monument in the far east, perhaps containing opportunities that can take us further.' The crowd nodded in agreement."
So they embarked on a journey to the far east. Along the way, they encountered many demons and evil spirits coveting the growing spirit energy aura emanating from them, but they were all easily repelled. Upon reaching the monument entrance, they found a formidable restriction set up here.
Just as everyone was in despair, Huang Ling'er noticed that the restriction seemed to be related to some kind of melody. Jiang Yu rou, who was skilled in music, stepped forward and tried it. Sure enough, she triggered the mechanism of the restriction. The group entered the interior of the relic smoothly and saw that inside it was radiant with light, various treasures and spiritual plants emitting an alluring aura. However, at this moment, a sinister laugh echoed from deep within the relic, and a mysterious dark shadow slowly emerged, "Foreigners, intruding here comes with a price!" A great battle was about to unfold.
Mo Wenjie stepped forward and declared loudly: "Who are you, and why are you hiding here to scare people?" The shadow emitted a high-pitched voice: "I am the guardian of this relic. If you leave now, it's not too late." Jiang Yurou, with her arms crossed and a cold smile on her face, replied: "We have come in so easily. How can we leave easily?" After speaking, she lightly trembled her fingers on the string in her hand as if gathering strength for an attack.
The black shadow charged out ferociously, its speed incredible. However, the group was well-prepared. Mo Wenjie swung his sword, and the blade shone brightly as he hacked directly at the shadow. The shadow dodged with a swift movement and unleashed a series of black currents. Huang Ling'er quickly conjured her treasure, creating a protective shield in front of everyone that blocked all the black currents.
At this moment, Lin Yu, who had been silent until now, seized the opportunity. He formed hand seals and chanted incantations, shooting a beam of fire at the shadow. The shadow was hit by the fire and let out a painful scream. It turned out that it was not an actual entity, but a lingering soul in the form of a beam.
Seeing that they had gained the upper hand, the group surged forward with vigor, exploiting their advantage over the dwindling spirit. They worked in perfect harmony, combining their efforts to unleash a variety of powerful and dazzling spells. A burst of light flared up, and waves of energy surged towards the waning soul like tumultuous waves crashing against a shore.
Facing such fierce attacks, the waning spirit struggled fiercely but was eventually unable to withstand them. It kept retreating, and its once powerful aura grew increasingly weak. Finally, under the continuous assault from the group, the spirit retreated step by step and lost all ability to retaliate.
As the final moment approached, the spirit seemed to realize that its end was near. It sighed helplessly and said: "Well, well, I never expected you to break through my barrier and cause me harm. It seems that this place has a connection with you. Feel free to take whatever you want from this relic!" Just as the spirit finished speaking, it transformed into a beam of green smoke, slowly dissipating in the air, leaving no trace behind.
After Mo Wenjie and Huang Ling'er watched the residual soul disappear completely, they couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Then, they exchanged glances with excitement and anticipation in their eyes. For what was to come next was the exploration of the interior treasures of this mysterious relic. No one knew what remarkable discoveries awaited them here...
With great eagerness, the crowd began to spread out and explore the treasures. Mo Wenjie walked towards a pile of blue-glowing spiritual crystals, reaching out to touch them. Suddenly, a small transmitting array appeared under his feet. Before he could react, he was transported to another chamber. The chamber had a giant spiritual tree in the center, with fruits hanging from its branches, each one containing vast spiritual energy. At the same time, others also encountered similar situations and were transported to different places.
Huang Ling'er entered a room filled with ancient books, which recorded lost cultivation techniques; Jiang Yu rou found herself in a space filled with rare musical instruments, all of them of exceptional quality. Mo Wenjie was surrounded by materials for alchemy, all of them the rarest items that are hard to find outside. Everyone was surprised, but they soon discovered that they could not easily leave their respective areas.
At this moment, without any warning, a sinister yet ethereal voice abruptly echoed in the ears of Mo Wenjie, Huang Ling'er, Jiang Yu rou, Xiao Yawen, Ding Yan, and Tuobá Yíngyíng. The voice seemed to come from the depths of hell, exuding endless chill that sent shivers down their spines.
As they listened closely, they realized that it was the voice of the mysterious residual spirit: "Hahahah... Do you want to obtain these precious treasures? It's not that easy! You still need to pass the final difficult test before you can take everything here. Only by successfully passing this test can you take all the treasures here and more importantly, your own strength will be greatly enhanced as well!"
Upon hearing this, the crowd couldn't help but shudder in their hearts, but soon calmed down. They exchanged glances and saw determination in each other's eyes. After that, everyone took a deep breath, adjusted their state, and focused their entire attention to prepare for the impending unknown challenge.
At this moment, Mo Wenjie and Huang Ling'er's eyes were resolute and sparkled with confidence, as if they had already won the game.
The ominous voice rang out again: "You need to find the five-row pearls hidden in your respective areas and arrange them in the order of element birth." The environment around them suddenly changed. In Mo Wenjie's area, flames were ignited. He remained calm and began his search, eventually discovering the fire element pearl under a dan furnace.
Over at Huang Ling'er's side, books were flying everywhere, and she used her spiritual power to control them, eventually finding the wood element pearl hidden in a fold of an ancient scroll. At Jiang Yu rou's place, the water element pearl was found in the resonance box of a particular instrument. Xiao Yawen dug out the gold element pearl from an area filled with snow and ice, while Ding Yan found the earth element pearl amidst towering mounds of soil. Tuo Bá Yíng found the lightning element pearl after a dangerous adventure in a thunderous area, replacing the gold one.
Upon sensing each other's beads, the group began to try arranging them. At first, it was not smooth, and they were disturbed by illusions created by the residual soul. However, they encouraged and reminded each other. At a critical moment, Mo Wenjie remembered an ancient array that could temporarily resist illusions. The group borrowed this to calm their minds and successfully arranged the beads in the order of birth elements. The light burst brightly, and they not only broke through the restrictions and gathered together but also had their spiritual power greatly enhanced. The treasures around them also flew over to them.
At this moment, the residual spirit let out its last faint but clear voice: "Congratulations to you all! After passing through numerous tests and hardships, these invaluable treasures finally belong to you! May they help you in the future and enable you to achieve extraordinary feats!" With that, the residual spirit, like a candle flame in the wind, dissolved completely into thin air.
Mo Wenjie and Huang Ling'er excitedly looked at each other, their eyes filled with an uncontrollable joy. They carefully collected the treasures and couldn't wait to leave the relic, filled with excitement and anticipation.
On their way out, Mo Wenjie and Huang Ling'er, Jiang Yu rou, Xiao Yawen, Ding Yan, Tuo Bá Yíngyíng, Qin Xiaodié, Cao Chūnlíng, and the Golden Silkworm Fairy were all immersed in the immense joy of acquiring treasures. Their steps were so light that it seemed as if they could fly. The sunlight filtered through the gaps between the leaves and fell upon them, casting a radiant glow on their smiling faces. It was like a beautiful and captivating painting.
The group was walking joyfully when suddenly the sky turned dark with clouds. A lightning bolt split the sky, and an old man in a black robe appeared ahead of them. "Hmph, do you think you can take these treasures so easily?" the old man snorted coldly.
The group tensed up, and Mo Wenjie stepped forward to ask: "Who are you?" The old man coldly laughed: "I am the true master of the residual soul. I had only sent a shadow beforehand to test you. These treasures were meant to be used in my scheme to revive myself, and none of them belong to you." As he spoke, he waved his hand, and a group of magic shadows rushed towards the crowd.
Mo Wenjie shouted: "Let's fight together!" The group used their top skills, mixing with the magic shadows. However, the old man was powerful in magic, and the group was gradually losing the battle. At this moment, the Golden Silkworm Fairy suddenly spit out a large amount of gold silk, trapping some of the magic shadows. Jiang Yu rou played the strongest sound wave technique, disrupting the formation of the magic shadows. Mo Wenjie took advantage of this and executed his ultimate move, striking directly at the old man. The old man hadn't expected them to be so determined, and he made a mistake in his defense. Taking advantage of his confusion, everyone worked together to attack again. In the end, he couldn't withstand their efforts and ran away hurriedly.
After this battle, Mo Wenjie, Huang Ling'er, Jiang Yu rou, Xiao Yawen, and the others became even more united. With the treasures in hand, they returned to the city. Using these treasures, they not only enhanced their cultivation but also benefited the local people. From then on, their names spread throughout the urban cultivation world and became part of a legendary tale.
Years later, one day, a dark aura suddenly enveloped the peaceful city. Mo Wenjie and the others felt that something was wrong and gathered together to investigate. It turned out that the black-cloaked old man had returned, having practiced dark forbidden arts in secret, greatly increasing his power.
This time, he brought along even more powerful magic shadows and summoned several ancient beasts to aid in the battle. Mo Wenjie and the others showed no fear. They fought side by side, relying on their years of accumulated experience and the profound foundations brought by the treasures they had acquired previously.
Jiang Yu rou used the power of music to control the magic shadows and cause them to kill each other, while Huang Ling'er used her magical treasures to protect the others from the corrupting influence of the dark aura. Mo Wenjie and Xiao Yawen fought together against the black-cloaked old man with all their might. The battle had entered a fierce stage, with both sides suffering injuries.
At the critical moment, Mo Wenjie realized a new breakthrough in his cultivation to immortality. His spiritual energy surged wildly around him. He joined forces with everyone else to set up a super-level spell formation. The group converged their powers onto him, and Mo Wenjie delivered a powerful blow, finally annihilating the black-cloaked old man and his minions.
After this battle, peace was restored inside the stone door. The legendary story of Mo Wenjie and Huang Ling'er, Jiang Yu rou, Xiao Yawen, Ding Yan, Tuo Bá Yíngyíng, Qin Xiaodié, Cao Chūnlíng, and the Golden Silkworm Fairy was forever etched in the historical river of celestial cultivation in the heavens. Their tale inspired countless cultivators to strive for strength and imitation. Upon hearing of this event, the Queen Mother became extremely angry and vowed that Mo Wenjie would have to pay a price!
Mo Wenjie smiled wryly and shook his head, "Even if I have to pay a price, I will never back down!"
