After resolving the dark clothing people, Jin Can rushed back to their master one after another and turned into a golden light that vanished into the sleeves. The protagonist Jin Can fairy shook off the imaginary dust on her and smirked coldly. These dark clothing people thought that they could succeed by attacking at night, which was incredibly foolish. But this time they had really offended Diankuai Ghost to death. At this moment, Diankuai Ghost's eyes flashed suddenly and realized that things were far from over. He immediately used levitation skill and rushed to the place where the incident happened. When he reached an area above, he saw a panicked crowd fleeing below, while various fierce monsters were formed by black mist in mid-air and attacked everywhere. Mao Wenjie joined his hands together, chanted some spells under his breath, shone with golden light all around his body, directly charged into the black fog. A brilliant light flashed past, and then gradually dissipated the black fog as well as all traces of monsters disappeared. However Mao Wenjie knew that this just marked the beginning of a struggle between good and evil.
The Diankuai Ghost, upon seeing the scene, raised a corner of his mouth in a sly and crazy smile, letting out a "heh heh" laugh as if he had everything under control. His eyes, which already carried a touch of mischief, now shone with an unusual light as he stared intently at Mao Wenjie and said, "I didn't expect that you, young fellow, actually have some skills. It's quite surprising for an old guy like me! But well..." He paused for a moment before his tone abruptly shifted to one filled with disdain and mockery, continuing, "Mao Wenjie, do you really think you can challenge me with just this little bit of cultivation? Hahaha... That's just wishful thinking!" With an extremely boastful laugh echoing through the space, it seemed as if the entire space trembled with his laughter.
Mao Wenjie stood closely with Ding Qingyao, Huang Ling er, Jiang YuRou, Xiao AyWen, Ding Yan, Tuo Yingying, Qin Xiaodie, and Cao ChunLing. Their eyes were firm and sharp as they stared directly at the terrifying Diankuai Ghost.
The Diankuai Ghost opened his jaws wide, emitting strange and eerie cries as if he intended to tear everyone before him apart. Despite the terrifying scene, Mao Wenjie and the others did not falter in the face of danger. Instead, their expressions revealed a resolve and fearlessness that was anything but intimidated.
Ding Qingyao bit her lip softly, her hands tightly clenched into fists, her eyes flashing with angry sparks. Huang Ling er slightly narrowed her eyes, emitting a cold aura that was like an ice mountain, difficult to move. Jiang YuRou trembled slightly, but she still stood up straight with courage, holding a sharp short sword in her hand, ready to face any enemy attack.
Xiao AyWen furrowed her brows, quietly devising a strategy in her mind. Ding Yan was a bit nervous but still tried to stay calm and wouldn't back down even a step. Tuo Yingying had a determined look on her face and was swinging her long whip, making rustling noises. Qin Xiaodie's bright eyes twinkled as she seemed to come up with a clever idea. Cao ChunLing took a deep breath, calmed herself down, and focused entirely on Diankuai Ghost's every move.
Finally, everyone unconsciously turned their gaze towards the mysterious golden silkworm fairy. She stood gracefully with a white dress flowing like an immortal, her beautiful face with a faint smile, giving people a feeling of profound mystery. At this moment, everyone's power seemed to converge together to form an impenetrable defense against this terrifying Diankuai Ghost.
The battlefield was enveloped in a fierce gale, causing sand and stones to fly, and both sides fought intensely, resulting in a sky that darkened and sun and moon that disappeared. Each attack was as powerful as thunderstorms, shaking the entire world. However, despite the intense battle, neither side had an overwhelming advantage; their strength was evenly matched, and neither could decisively prevail over the other.
At this moment, the Diankuai Ghost was behaving like a madman, laughing crazily and shouting: "Hahaha! I never expected that you guys could match me evenly! Mao Wenjie, along with your companions in cultivation, you really surprise me!" He laughed wildly while waving his treasure tool and launching one fierce assault after another towards Mao Wenjie and the others.
Mao Wenjie's expression was serious as he tightly gripped his weapon, focusing all his attention on countering the Diankuai Ghost's attacks. Beside him, his companions showed no weakness, each deploying their own unique skills in a fierce battle to the death with the enemy.
"Humph! Diankuai Ghost, stop spouting nonsense! Although we are currently on an equal footing, the outcome is still uncertain! If you think you can defeat us so easily, you're mistaken!" Mao Wenjie roared in response.
On the battlefield, glimmers of light flashed, and surging energy filled the air. Both sides exchanged attacks and defenses without giving an inch, making the fierce battle seem endless...
In the midst of the stalemate between the two sides, a fissure suddenly appeared in the sky, spewing a beam of seven-colored radiance. This radiance seemed solid, dispersing all the aura generated by the battle wherever it touched. Startled, everyone witnessed a white-haired elder slowly emerging from the radiance.
"Enough, your continued fighting will only harm both sides." The elder's voice was not loud, yet it was clear to everyone's ears. Seeing the elder, the Diankuai Ghost's eyes flickered with a hint of fear, but he still stubbornly retorted, "Old fellow, mind your own business."
The elder merely shook his head gently and looked at Mao Wenjie and the others. "Your foundation is still shallow, and while your courage is commendable, continued hardship will not be beneficial to you." As he spoke, the elder waved his hand, and a gentle force protected Mao Wenjie and the others.
Seeing this, the Diankuai Ghost was filled with rage and launched a full-force attack at the elder. The elder remained calm and composed, merely tapping his fingers lightly to dissipate the attack. "That's all for today." As he finished speaking, the elder flicked his sleeves, and unexpectedly, the Diankuai Ghost was unable to move.
After that, the mysterious and enigmatic elder gently waved his hand, indicating for Mao Wenjie and the others to follow him. Although puzzled, Mao Wenjie still obeys and follows behind the elder. As they walked further away, they soon left the Diankuai Ghost, who was still raging and roaring in anger at the spot, far behind them.
As he walks, Mo Wenjie occasionally turns his head to look back at the gradually fading figure of the Diankuai Ghost, the questions in his heart rising like a tide. Who is this old man? Why did he suddenly appear and help us escape from this predicament? What's more, what kind of powerful aura he exudes from his body? Countless questions swirl in Mo Wenjie's mind, making him want to ask the old man without hesitation.
However, whenever Mo Wenjie tried to communicate with the elder, he would see a faint smile on the elder's face. This smile seemed to contain countless profound meanings, leaving people puzzled. The elder remained silent, just silently leading the group forward.
Finally, after a burst of speed, the elder led everyone to the summit of a towering mountain that pierced the clouds. From here, one could overlook the vast expanse of land below and the undulating mountains in the distance. As Mo Wenjie marveled at the magnificent scenery before him, he saw the elder gently wave his hands, causing a brilliant light to suddenly bloom. Following that, the light quickly converged into a massive transmission array that flickered with mysterious runes and radiance.
The elder turned back to face Mo Wenjie and the others, nodded slightly, then stepped into the transmission array first. The others followed suit. As the last person entered, the light became overwhelmingly intense, and the transmission array began to spin rapidly. In a blink of an eye, everyone disappeared along with the light into the sky, leaving not a trace behind.
The crowd only felt a blur, and when they opened their eyes, they found themselves in an unfamiliar place. Around them were clouds and vapors, and the ground beneath them was translucent and seemed to have a spring flowing beneath. The elder stood in front of them, slowly saying, "This place is the Lingxu World, a sacred land for cultivation." Mo Wenjie and the others couldn't help but reveal surprised expressions.
Suddenly, many spiritual beings appeared around them, in various forms. They curiously circled around the group, and one of them resembling a small deer approached Ding Qingyao, rubbing its head against her hand. Just as the crowd relaxed their guard, a low growling sounded from the distance. A massive dark shadow beast slowly approached. It exuded a powerful aura of evil, with its eyes blazing red.
The elder's expression grew serious, "These are the trial beasts that guard the Lingxu World; only by defeating them can one truly cultivate here." Mo Wenjie tightened his grip on his weapon, "Then let's fight." The crowd regained their spirits and unleashed their abilities, charging towards the giant beast. The beast swung its massive claws, raising waves of energy, but the group fought in harmony, supporting each other.
In this critical moment, Mo Wenjie, relying on his keen observation and outstanding wisdom, finally found the fatal weakness of the giant beast! He looked at the spot on the beast with an intense gaze, then shouted loudly without hesitation: "Brothers and sisters, concentrate your forces on that spot!"
Hearing Mo Wenjie's shout, everyone snapped out of their trance and started to fire their most powerful techniques at that weakness. In a blink of an eye, a dazzling array of brilliant lights intertwined into an immensely powerful surge of energy, crashing into the beast's vulnerability with ferocious force.
A massive and terrifying roar echoed as the giant beast's colossal frame convulsed violently. Despite its tremendous strength, it could no longer withstand the relentless assault from all directions. With one final, mighty shudder, the beast collapsed to the ground, defeated by the combined effort of the group.
As the giant beast collapsed, its huge form gradually dissipated, turning into countless tiny points that shone with a faint light. These star-like lights floated down slowly, as if they were being attracted by some mysterious force, and merged into the bodies of each person present.
The elder, who had been quietly observing by the side, saw this scene and a satisfied smile spread across his face. He nodded slightly, with a hint of admiration in his eyes. "You did well," he said. "Starting today, you will officially embark on your journey of cultivation in the Lingxu World. Here lies countless opportunities and challenges. May you continually push past your limits and soon become true masters!"
Upon hearing this, Mo Wenjie and the others were overjoyed in their hearts. They knew that the path ahead was still long, but with this successful experience, they were filled with confidence about the future. Thus, led by the elder, they took firm steps, heading deeper into the Lingxu World...
