A large number of people gathered at the foot of the fairy mountain, only to see the clouds and mist enveloped, the fairy mountain exuding a mysterious and tempting aura. However, just as they stepped on the mountain road, they encountered numerous restrictions. A cultivator skilled in array law came forward, carefully studied before leading everyone cautiously through the restrictions.
As they ventured deeper into the mountain, the fragrance of spiritual herbs surrounded them, and rare beasts appeared. While they were searching for the sacred herbs, they suddenly heard a melodious flute sound. Following the sound, they found a white-robed immortal playing the flute by a pond. The immortal saw them without surprise and instead informed them that while there were sacred herbs here, they would only be granted to those with destiny. The group expressed their intention, but the immortal set a test instead, asking each of them to recount their initial aspiration for cultivation. After listening to their sincere accounts, the immortal nodded in satisfaction and with a wave of his hand, the sacred herbs appeared before their eyes. He cautioned them not to lose their true essence due to greed.
Mo Wenjie, Ding Qingyao, Huang Linger, Jiang Yurou, Xiaofei Chen, Tuo Yingying, Qin Xiaodie, Cao Chunling, and Jin Chanshi respectively expressed their excitement. After obtaining the sacred herbs, they all promised to uphold righteousness and left the fairy mountain with the herbs. They planned to go into seclusion to break through their own bottlenecks and advance to higher levels of cultivation.
The group quickly dispersed, each heading back to their respective caves. After returning to his cave, Mo Wenjie immediately set up defense wards and prepared to go into seclusion with peace of mind. However, he never expected that the aura fluctuations of the sacred herbs would attract jealousy from nearby evil cultivators.
At night, a dark figure stealthily approached Mo Wenjie's cave. As the figure was about to break through the wards, Mo Wenjie's warning array triggered. Mo Wenjie was alarmed in his heart and hurriedly stopped his seclusion. He grasped his sword and prepared for battle. The dark figure appeared and turned out to be Magnocher, who had previously committed many evils.
Magnocher laughed and said, "Boy, hand over the sacred herbs, otherwise you'll die today." Mo Wenjie had no fear and said, "This is something obtained by my righteous path, how can you, an evil cultivator, touch it?" In an instant, they exchanged blows. Their spells and divine treasures shone with brilliant light, releasing a burst of divine power.
At the same time, those who had the fortune to obtain the sacred herbs were all subjected to various forms of disturbance and disruption to varying degrees. However, each one deeply imprinted the sage's earnest admonitions into their hearts and stood firmly against the invaders.
This intense battle lasted for a long time, with neither side giving an inch and the situation becoming extremely intense. Among them, Mo Wenjie faced the most perilous situation. His opponent was the notorious Magnocher, whose profound skills and ruthless tactics put immense pressure on Mo Wenjie. Yet Mo Wenjie showed no sign of fear, clenching his teeth and using all his skills to engage in the struggle.
As they exchanged blows, Mo Wenjie's figure was like a phantom, flickering and evading Magnocher's fierce attacks with ease. Meanwhile, his divine weapon was like a dragon emerging from the sea, continuously striking back at Magnocher. For a time, it was difficult to determine who was the victor.
With the passage of time, Mo Wenjie gradually adapted to Magnocher's offensive rhythm and began to slowly gain the upper hand. Finally, with a brilliant sword strike, Mo Wenjie successfully hit Magnocher's vulnerable spot, repelling him decisively.
After this thrilling battle, everyone let out a long sigh of relief. They knew that defeating such a formidable enemy was not easy and that it was all due to the sage's guidance and their own indomitable struggle. Having gone through such a life-and-death test, their belief in protecting the righteous path became even more unwavering.
Therefore, Mo Wenjie and the others, including Ding Qingyao, chose to go into seclusion to cultivate, hoping to further improve their strength through hard work and effort in order to better defend righteousness and eradicate evil.
During their seclusion, a sudden disturbance of qi occurred throughout the heavens and earth. It was discovered that the white-robed immortal who had been previously at the foot of the fairy mountain had secretly set up a qi gathering formation. Sensing the determination of these righteous cultivators, he decided to lend a hand. The qi surrounding Mo Wenjie and others rapidly gathered, accelerating their cultivation process. Mo Wenjie felt that his qi was like rushing rivers within him, and his previously blocked meridians quickly became unobstructed.
After several months of seclusion, the group emerged one after another, their abilities greatly enhanced. At this time, a dark force was spreading silently in the world, with many villages mysteriously shrouded in darkness and villagers vanishing. Upon hearing this, Mo Wenjie and others hurriedly set out to investigate. Upon arriving at the first village, they discovered pairs of red eyes in the darkness.
Mò Wénjié led the charge, like a bolt of lightning racing into the endless darkness. His entire body shone with brilliant, dazzling light, and the powerful qì of his divine energy rolled in like surging waves, dispelling the darkness before him in an instant.
As the vision gradually became clear, Mò Wénjié was shocked to find that the creatures before him were hideous and stiff puppets! These puppets were clearly under the control of evil sorcery, losing their self-awareness and becoming the cruel instruments of the dark force.
Seeing this situation, the group showed no fear and each one cast their respective magical spells. Immediately, a colorful array of lights intertwined, forming a resplendent net that tightly enveloped the puppets. As the incantations were recited and the divine energy was injected, streams of purifying light shot out from the net, directly piercing through the puppets' bodies.
Under the powerful purifying force, the evil qì emanating from the puppets began to dissipate gradually. Their originally lifeless eyes also started to regain clarity. Eventually, they fell one by one to the ground, reverting back to their ordinary bodies.
However, the crisis was far from over. Mo Wenjie and the others knew well the principle of "eradicating evil to the end" and, without hesitation, pursued the source of the dark force. Along the way, they encountered numerous challenges and obstacles, but with their unwavering faith and outstanding strength, they never wavered in their determination to continue their journey forward.
After countless trials and dangers, Mo Wenjie and his companions, with their bodies weary from exhaustion, moved step by step towards their goal. Their clothes were drenched in sweat, but their eyes remained resolute.
Finally, deep in the desolate mountains, they discovered the mysterious and deep cave. The cave mouth looked like a terrifying beast opening its mouth, continuously emitting thick black vapor like ink. These black vapor surged and rolled, covering the sky and blocking out the sun. The entire cave mouth was shrouded in an eerie and terrifying atmosphere, as if this was the entrance to connect humanity with hell.
However, despite the terrifying sight, Mo Wenjie and the others showed no sign of retreat. On the contrary, they tightly gripped their weapons and exchanged a firm look of determination after which they didn't hesitate to step into the cave with resolute steps, determined to face whatever unknown dangers lay ahead.
Mo Wenjie, Ding Qingyao, Huang Linger, Jiang Yurou, Xiao Yawen, Ding Yan, and the others knew that the dark force hidden within the cave posed a great threat to the righteous path. If it were not eliminated, it would bring endless disasters to the world. Therefore, no matter what difficulties, hardships, demons, or monsters awaited them ahead, they were not afraid and vowed to use their courage and strength to completely destroy this evil force. They were determined to restore a peaceful world for all living beings under heaven—a clear sky and bright land!
After entering the cave, the darkness was filled with a putrid smell. Suddenly, numerous vines burst forth from the ground, coiling around everyone like snakes. Mo Wenjie shouted loudly and drew his divine sword to cut off the vines. The group kept a wary eye on their surroundings while gradually moving deeper into the cave.
Soon, they arrived at a massive cave chamber where a dark energy orb was constantly rotating in the center. It was surrounded by various evil creatures. Mo Wenjie realized that this was the core of the dark force.
The group quickly formed a formation and launched their strongest attack towards the energy ball. However, the overwhelming power of the dark force caused an impact force strong enough to make everyone cough up blood.
At that moment, the white-robed immortal appeared. He had calculated that the group's fate this time was more likely to be perilous. The sage joined his hands in a mystical gesture, muttering incantations, and a radiant beam of light shot towards the energy ball. The dark creatures saw this and charged towards the sage, and despite their injuries, the group rallied to stop them.
The immortal's expression grew grave as he cupped his hands together and recited incantations, his entire body radiating with powerful light. As he continually intensified his magical energy, the energy ball, which had been colossal, began to shrink at a visible rate.
At the same time, on the other side, Mo Wenjie and his fellow cultivators were engaged in a thrilling battle of life and death with dark creatures flooding in like a tide. They wielded divine weapons and moved nimbly through the ranks of the enemies. Each swing of their swords brought down a storm of blood and violence. After a fierce and arduous struggle, Mo Wenjie and his companions finally eradicated all the diabolical dark creatures.
Without taking a moment's rest, they hastened to the side of the immortal and joined forces to contain the energy ball. Each person clenched their teeth, using all their strength to pour whatever remaining divine power they had into the energy ball. For a moment, the scene became extraordinarily magnificent, with a multitude of colors interwoven, creating a resplendent tapestry of light and color.
As the group worked together, the energy ball shrank increasingly smaller until it finally became a golf-sized ball. Suddenly, a resounding "bang" echoed, and an incredibly bright light blazed forth in an instant, illuminating the entire sky. This light was like a blazing sun, containing an immense amount of energy that completely consumed and vanquished the dark force.
Once the commotion had subsided, it became evident that the dark creatures that once wreaked havoc were nowhere to be found, and the gloom that had loomed over the heavens had dispersed. Overwhelmed with joy, the group erupted in cheers, their excitement uncontainable. They embraced each other and celebrated with abandon, reveling in the hard-earned victory. For it was through their unwavering efforts and indomitable spirit that they successfully defended the tranquility of this celestial realm.
