On a day with gentle breeze and bright sunshine, Mu Wengjie set off on a journey to the mysterious and desirable Seven-Heaven realm with the graceful and distinctive women around him - Huang Ling'er, Jiang Yu Rou, Xiao Yawen, Ding Yan, Tuoba Ying Ying, Qin Xia Die and Cao Chun Ling. Along the way, they either chatted or admired the breathtaking scenery in high spirits.
Finally, after a long journey, they arrived at the legendary realm of the Seven Heavens. Here, the clouds were shrouded, and the air was filled with an ethereal mist, as if in a fairyland. In the distance, mountains stretched out in continuous undulations, with brooks flowing gently among them. The clear and melodious sound of water was like a beautiful symphony played by nature. Occasionally, colorful auspicious clouds floated across the sky, adding a touch of fantasy to this magical land.
Mo Wengjie stared intently, with his mouth slightly open, dumbfoundedly gazing at the scene in front of him. A wave of shock and awe rose in his heart. In the midst of the clouds and mist, the green mountains and waters were picturesque, while pavilions, halls, and towers were arranged irregularly, as if there were beautiful flowers and herbs competing to show off their charms. It was as if a magnificent painting was unfolding before him.
"Could this... be the legendary Seven Heavens?" Mo Wengjie mumbled to himself, his voice filled with disbelief and awe. He had never imagined that in this celestial realm, there could exist a place so much like an idyllic paradise.
The Jin Can fairy, standing by, smiled slightly, and her beautiful face was further enhanced by the backdrop of the beautiful scenery. She gently spoke, "Mo Wengjie, do you know which immortals live in the Seven Heavens?"
Mo Wengjie looked at her companions and shook his head, "I really don't know which immortals live in the Seven Heavens."
Seeing the Jin Can fairy smile slightly and then gently shake her head, her beautiful and mysterious smile seemed to conceal countless secrets and stories.
After a while, she finally spoke, "Since you are so curious, I shall tell you." Then, with a soft and enchanting voice, she continued to narrate, "High above the sky is a mysterious place known as the 'Seven Heavens.' Within it stands a magnificent palace known as the 'Mount Meru Palace.' This palace resembles a radiant pearl embedded in the clouds, emitting a stunning glow."
"And within the Mount Meru Palace, there reside four awe-inspiring karmic protectors, namely the King of the East, the King of the South, the King of the West, and the King of the North. These four kings are endowed with divine powers and strong abilities, and they guard this sacred land to prevent it from being disturbed by malevolent forces." As she spoke, the Jin Can fairy paused slightly, as if she were recalling something. Then she continued to describe these four kings in detail.
"The Eastern King of Guardian Virtue holds a pipa, playing melodious music that can calm all conflicts in the world; the Southern King of Vedic Growth wields a sword, and the blade's touch destroys demons and evil spirits; the Western King of Broad Eyes controls the heavenly winds and rain with his weapon, the Red Dragon, as well as the changes in the sky; as for the Northern King of Multitude Hearing, he carries an umbrella that can cover the sky and protect beings from harm."
As the Jin Can fairy narrated, a vivid and lifelike image seemed to unfold before everyone's eyes, filling them with yearning and reverence for the magical Seven Heavens and the four great Kings of Invincibility.
After listening, Mo Wengjie's eyes were filled with anticipation: "Can we go and meet these four kings?" The Jin Can fairy smiled and said, "This won't be easy. The four kings are usually busy with their guarding duties and rarely appear. However, if there is destiny, perhaps we can see them."
While they were talking, a strange aura suddenly appeared at the edge of the sky. The Jin Can fairy's expression changed: "No good, it seems there is an evil entity intruding into the Seven Heavens."
Mo Wengjie clenched his fists: "How can we just stand by and watch?" The women also nodded in agreement. So, they rushed towards the area of the anomaly. As they approached, a huge demon was rampaging around, turning the surrounding immortal clouds dark. Just then, a musical melody came from the east, it was the Eastern King of Guardian Virtue who appeared. The demon heard the music and paused for a moment. But soon recovered its ferocity and attacked the king. The Southern King of Vedic Growth quickly drew out his sword, its light illuminating the sky, directly striking at the demon. While it was dodging, the Western King of Broad Eyes waved his Red Dragon to trap part of its body. Finally, the Northern King of Multitude Hearing opened his umbrella to scatter auspicious light and suppress the demon.
Mo Wengjie and the others stood there, their eyes tightly fixed on the intense battle scene in front of them. Their hearts were pounding so fiercely within their chests that it felt as if they were about to burst out. They witnessed those thrilling and heart-stirring confrontations, feeling as if all the blood in their bodies had been ignited, boiling and burning hot.
At this moment, their deep respect for the four kings was surging like a tidal wave, continuously rising. Perhaps before, they had only heard about the various legends and heroic deeds of the four kings. But now, witnessing these legendary figures in action on the battlefield, their incomparable strength and fearless courage, they were completely and utterly impressed.
In this moment, Mo Wengjie and the others deeply understood that behind the seemingly peaceful and harmonious Seven Heavens, there were so many unknown hardships and sacrifices. It is because of heroes like the four kings who guarded this land with their lives and sweat that everyone can live in peace today. This hard-won peace is worth cherishing and defending by everyone.
Though the demon was temporarily suppressed, it continued to struggle. Mo Wengjie's heart moved, and he stepped forward, shouting, "Your Highnesses, though our abilities are limited, we wish to lend a hand." The women echoed his call in unison.
The four kings looked at each other and nodded in agreement. Mo Wengjie activated his internal spiritual power, formed a magic circle with his hands, and shot a beam of spiritual energy towards the demon. The women also used their own magical powers, and various beams of light gathered on the demon at once. The demon was attacked and let out loud roars.
However, the demon was too powerful. It soon broke free from most of the restraints and counterattacked. Just as danger approached, the four kings joined forces to deliver their strongest blow, completely crushing the demon. As the demon dissipated, a black crystal remained.
The Jin Can fairy picked up the crystal and her expression became serious: "This is a manifestation of evil thoughts, indicating that there must be a malevolent force at play." Mo Wengjie clenched his fists: "Whoever it is, we will not let them disturb the tranquility of the Seven Heavens." Everyone echoed his words in agreement.
The four kings stood quietly, their gazes slowly sweeping over the people in front of them. A smile of relief gradually appeared on their faces, as bright and warm as blossoming flowers on a spring day, making everyone feel close and friendly.
"With such intentions from you all, we are greatly comforted! I believe with your efforts and perseverance, the Seven Heavens will surely restore its former stability and tranquility," one of the kings said solemnly. His voice was as resounding as a great bell, echoing ceaselessly through the air.
After hearing these words, Mo Wengjie and the others felt a strong sense of responsibility. They knew that they were responsible for guarding the Seven Heavens, and they could not let down the expectations of all living beings and the four great kings. So, they exchanged a resolute look with each other and stepped onto their journey of exploration with determination.
Along the way, Mo Wengjie and the others moved cautiously. They carefully observed their surroundings, not missing any sign of suspiciousness. The rolling hills, misty clouds, and colorful flowers competed to show their beauty here, but they had no interest in appreciating these scenes. They were determined to quickly locate any potential dangers.
Suddenly, a faint sound came from ahead. Mo Wengjie stopped abruptly, signaling the others to stay quiet. He listened attentively for a moment and then moved silently in the direction of the sound. He saw a dark shadow flash through the grass nearby at an incredible speed, disappearing without a trace in an instant.
"Bad news, it seems that some evil entity is causing trouble here! Be careful!" Mo Wengjie lowered his voice and warned. Everyone listened to his words and tightened their weapons, watching the surroundings vigilantly. However, the black shadow disappeared like magic without a trace...
Mo Wengjie frowned and carefully scanned his surroundings. "Form a circle, back to back, so we don't give it an opportunity for a sneak attack." Everyone followed his instructions.
After a while, Huang Ling'er whispered, "Could it be that we're too tense and just saw things wrong?" Just as she finished speaking, the ground suddenly began to tremble. Numerous vines burst from the soil and wrapped around the group.
"These are evil vines!" Jin Can Fairy exclaimed in alarm. Mo Wengjie quickly cast several spells, releasing a stream of flames to burn the vines. The women also used their various abilities, releasing ice needles and wind blades at the same time.
But the evil vines kept coming, threatening to break through the defenses. At this moment, Mo Wengjie noticed a large boulder nearby. He had an idea and gathered his spiritual power to lift it and throw it at the root of the vines. With a loud boom, the evil vines stopped their attack and slowly retreated back into the ground.
Just as the crowd breathed a sigh of relief, the black shadow appeared again on the top of a nearby tree, revealing two sinister green eyes. Mo Wengjie gritted his teeth and said, "We must catch you today." He moved quickly like a flash of light, heading towards the black shadow. The others followed suit.
The black shadow turned like a ghost, quickly changing direction and escaping at an incredible speed. Mo Wengjie saw this and picked up speed, tightly following the black shadow without any signs of slowing down.
Running one after the other, they raced and soon arrived at a quiet and profound valley. Just as Mo Wengjie was about to catch up with the black shadow, it seemed to merge into the darkness and vanished without a trace.
Mo Wengjie stopped, frowning, and carefully looked around. At this moment, he noticed that a thick, pungent smell filled the valley, a mixture of putrid decay and venomous miasma that made him feel nauseous.
"Bad!" Mo Wengjie whispered to himself in alarm, realizing that the situation was dire. But it was too late; the noxious smell seemed to transform into countless invisible hands, pouncing on him abruptly.
In an instant, a sudden strong dizziness overwhelmed him, and Mo Wengjie felt as if the world was spinning around him. The scenery in front of him became blurry. He shook his head forcefully, trying to stay awake, but his body wouldn't stop shaking as if it were about to fall over.
