Genres:Urban Romance Last update:25/03/23 20:59:11
    Mou Wenjie, along with Ding Qingyao, Huang Ling'er, Jiang Yurou, Xiao Yawen, Ding Yan, Tuobayi Yingying, Qin Xiaodie, Cao Chunling, and the mysterious Jin Can immortal princess left the realm of Lingxu. Their figures grew distant and gradually vanished in this magical and unknown world.

    The deep inner hearts of all the people are like burning a fierce flame, which is an endless curiosity and eager expectation for the road ahead. This flame illuminates their direction, gives them unwavering power, and enables them to take solid and powerful steps, bravely and fearlessly rushing towards the mysterious and unknown field with a full of mystery color.

    Throughout the journey, they seemed to be in a fantastic and thrilling world. The dense jungle, lush and verdant as an ocean, stretched before them, with thick branches intertwined to form natural barriers. However, the group was not deterred by this jungle; they held their blades and hacked through thorny thickets with difficulty. The ground beneath their feet was slippery and muddy, with crawling creatures occasionally appearing, but their gaze remained fixed on the front, without a shred of hesitation.

    Next, towering peaks, steep and perilous, emerged before their eyes. These mountains stood like giants between heaven and earth, daunting to behold. Yet, the resolve of the group was higher than the mountains themselves. They climbed with hands and feet, grasping at rocks and vines, ascending step by step. Sweat drenched their clothes, their palms were bleeding from blisters, but they clamped their teeth together and refused to give up.

    Eventually, they arrived at a vast river, surging with tumultuous waters and rapid currents. The water roared and churned, its white waves seeming to try to hinder their continued progress. However, the group did not pause in their advance. They worked together, using sturdy tree trunks to build makeshift bridges, or tightly grasping ropes and carefully crossing over this river.

    Each step taken faced a massive challenge; each obstacle surmounted was a test of one's courage and resolve.

    Yet, no matter how many difficulties and dangers they encountered, Mo Wenjie and Ding Qingyao, Huang Ling'er, Jiang Yurou, Xiao Yawen, Ding Yan, Tuo Bayingying, Qin Xiaodie, Cao Chunling, and the Jin Can immortal princess never showed the slightest sign of retreat. For in their hearts lay a shared goal—to explore that unknown territory and uncover the secrets it held.

    After crossing the river, a mist-shrouded valley appeared before them. Within the valley, faint, eerie sounds could be heard, like the roars of wild beasts or some sort of mysterious power whispering.

    Mo Wenjie took the lead, stepping into the fog, followed without hesitation by the others. In the fog, visibility was impaired, and they could only feel their way forward. Suddenly, a dim green light flickered around them, and a group of ghostly-like creatures floated towards them. The group quickly cast spells, causing a flurry of light and shadow.

    In the midst of battle, the ground convulsed violently, and a colossal beast, whose body was as massive as a mountain range, burst out of the earth. Its eyes were crimson with an aura of malevolence. Mo Wenjie roared and channeled all his spirit energy towards the beast. The others also employed various means to assist.

    After a fierce battle, the giant beast fell with a thunderous crash, vanishing into nothingness. Though exhausted, the group's eyes were filled with determination. As they ventured deeper into the valley, the mysterious force that drew them here grew stronger. Just then, a ray of golden light shot up into the sky. After a glance at each other, they quickly rushed towards the source of the light, where they might find the secret they had been chasing all along.

    As the group arrived at the source of the golden light, they saw a towering tree with golden fruits hanging from its branches, emitting powerful spiritual fluctuations. Mo Wenjie was about to approach when suddenly a layer of translucent restrictions appeared around him. The group tried various methods to break through the restrictions, but Ding Qingyao's touch inadvertently opened a small door.

    The group filed into the ancient palace. At the center of the palace stood a stone platform, atop which lay a scroll emitting light. Just as Mo Wenjie reached out to take the scroll, an illusory elderly figure appeared. The elder referred to it as an ancient scriptural text of ancient immortality, which would be bestowed upon those who were meant to possess it, but who must undergo a test. The test required answering three questions about the Dao heart. In turn, the group answered, and their answers were astonishingly similar. The elder nodded in satisfaction and lifted the restriction. Mo Wenjie picked up the scroll, and an instantaneous stream of information flooded his mind. He gained knowledge of many lost cultivation techniques and everyone was overjoyed. Following this, they decided to close themselves up here for a while to digest this newfound knowledge before setting off on their return journey. They well understood that this gain would stir up a wave in heaven once they returned there.

    Each member of the group found a room within the palace to begin their seclusion. Mo Wenjie sat cross-legged in the room, guiding the flow of spiritual energy within his body according to the new cultivation method, and his surroundings gradually began to glow faintly. However, after several days, Mo Wenjie felt an evil thought germinating within him; it was the new technique that had darkly sown the seed of his inner demon. At the same time, the others also encountered a similar situation.

    Mo Wenjie struggled to maintain consciousness and sought help from the virtual elderly figure. The elder once again appeared, shook his head and sighed, "Although this scripture contains powerful energy, it also easily attracts inner demons, which must be suppressed with pure Dao heart."

    Hearing this, the group strived to calm their minds. Mo Wenjie recalled the determination and trust between himself and his companions throughout the journey, gradually dispelling his misgivings. The others also experienced a similar transformation, recalling their shared struggles and feeling warmth and strength surge through them.

    Soon, the group successfully suppressed their inner demons, experiencing a significant increase in their power. Mo Wenjie even broke through a bottleneck to reach a new realm. They left the palace ready to embark on their journey home, only to discover that a auspicious sign appeared in the sky—a heavenly gate slowly opened, and a voice emanated from it, "Having endured the test and with steadfast Dao hearts, I now bestow upon you the power of ascension." Overjoyed, the group embraced each other and flew through the heavenly gate, heading towards a higher level of heaven to face new adventures and opportunities.

    Upon entering the heavenly gate, the group found that the area was filled with misty spirituality and dotted with rare and exotic plants. However, they soon detected an unusual aura. They realized that although heaven was supposed to be a peaceful realm, there was a malevolent force lurking in the shadows.

    Mo Wenjie and his companions decided to investigate the origin of this dark force. During their search, they encountered a deity named Xuan Feng, who informed them that the dark force originated from a sealed realm that had been shut away for many years. Recently, the seal had weakened, allowing evil qi to leak out.

    The group followed Xuan Feng to the edge of the sealed realm, where black mist swirled. Mo Wenjie took the lead, charging into the black mist, with the others closely behind. Inside, there were numerous demons, attacking ferociously. However, due to their previous experiences, they cooperated seamlessly and unleashed various spells in unison.

    In the critical moment of battle, Mo Wenjie understood the deeper power of the new realm, and he formed a hand seal, emitting a beam of strong light to temporarily dispel some of the darkness. At this very moment, Jin Can Immortal discovered an evil array at the source of the darkness. The group worked together to break through the array, ultimately successfully eradicating the source of darkness. After this battle, they gained a foothold in heaven and became respected deities by all. They continued to write their own epic stories in this heaven.

    After becoming respected deities, the name of Mo Wenjie and his companions spread throughout heaven. One day, they received an imperial decree from the King of Heaven, commanding them to guard the Heaven Spring. It was said that the water of the Heaven Spring could nourish all things, and if it fell into the hands of evil people, the consequences would be unimaginable.

    Upon reaching the Heaven Spring, Mo Wenjie set up multiple protective spells. However, not long after, a mysterious force quietly attacked. This force was able to penetrate the spells silently, causing the group to become vigilant. Mo Wenjie felt a familiarity with this force, as if it were a variant of the dark aura that had lingered in the sealed realm.

    The enemy was hidden in the shadows, occasionally launching sneak attacks. Mo Wenjie had an idea and deliberately revealed a vulnerability to lure the enemy into revealing itself. Indeed, a dark shadow rushed towards Mo Wenjie, and at that moment, the group simultaneously intervened, encircling the shadow. As the shadow struggled, it revealed its true form—an immortal beast that had been corrupted by darkness.

    The group could not bear to kill the immortal beast, so they united to purify the dark aura surrounding it. After considerable effort, the beast regained its clarity and was deeply grateful. Following this incident, the deeds of Mo Wenjie and his companions in guarding the Heaven Spring spread once more, and their legend in heaven continued to unfold.

    Not long after, Mo Wenjie and his companions received news that there were some strange phenomena near the Heaven Spring. The normally calm water surface began to ripple mysteriously, and the surrounding flowers, grasses, and trees also looked withered. Mo Wenjie led the group in a hurry to investigate.

    Upon reaching the edge of the Heaven Spring, they found that there seemed to be a mysterious pull in the water. Mo Wenjie summoned a magical artifact to probe into the water, but almost got pulled in. After consulting with the others, they decided that Mo Wenjie and Jin Can Immortal would team up to create a powerful barrier, temporarily stabilizing the abnormalities of the Heaven Spring.

    While they were busy, a group of unknown deities flew in from the sky. These deities claimed that the disturbances at the Heaven Spring had affected their territory and demanded that Mo Wenjie and his companions immediately resolve the issue or they would forcefully take over the guardianship of the Heaven Spring. Mo Wenjie firmly argued his point, assuring them that he would definitely find the cause and make repairs.

    The stalemate continued when suddenly a powerful force surged out from the Heaven Spring, knocking everyone away. Then, an elf shimmering with seven-color light floated up from the bottom of the spring. The elf revealed the truth, explaining that it was undergoing a transformation, which caused the abnormalities in the Heaven Spring. With the misunderstanding cleared up, the foreign deities left dejectedly.

    With unwavering determination, Mo Wenjie and his companions decided to stay in the Heaven Spring area. Each of them held an indomitable belief, resolving to protect this magical and important land until the end.

    They understood the incredible significance of the Heaven Spring to the entire world. Without its protection, countless lives would face catastrophic peril. Therefore, even though they knew the path ahead would be fraught with difficulties and potentially exact a heavy toll, they showed no hesitation in moving forward.

    Standing by the Heaven Spring, Mo Wenjie gazed resolutely into the distance. The wind fluttered his robe, but it could not shake his resolve to guard this place. His companions behind him also wore solemn expressions, their hands tightly gripping weapons, always ready to face any enemy that might approach.

    During this long-term guardianship, Mo Wenjie and the other disciples, including Ding Qingyao, Huang Ling er, Jiang Yuru, Xiao Wenwen, Ding Yan, Tuo Yaying, Qin Xiaodie, Cao Chunling and Jin Can Immortal, experienced countless fierce battles with evil forces. However, every setback only made them stronger and more resolute in guarding the Heaven Spring.
