Mow Jin and others followed the winding path forward, soon discovered a mountain cave with strange light shining from it. The crowd approached the entrance, but felt a strong force pushing them outside. Mow Jin ran spiritual power to forcefully break through resistance and enter the cave first. The walls of the cave were covered with ancient runes, as if telling secrets long ago.
As the crowd was carefully studying the runes, the light in the cave suddenly grew intense, followed by a melodious flute sound. With the sound of the flute, numerous ethereal images appeared around them, depicting a great battle that once took place here. It turned out that this was where ancient cultivators had sealed evil forces. And now, due to the crowd's intrusion, there were signs that the seal seemed to be loosening.
Mo Wenjie realized the danger and quickly organized everyone to search for ways to reinforce the seal. In the corner, they found an ancient book covered in dust, which recorded a special array for reinforcing the seal. After much effort, everyone followed the instructions in the book and set up the array. The flute sound stopped, and the crisis was temporarily relieved. Then Mo Wenjie led everyone carefully left the cave and continued on their journey.
Mo Wenjie's face tightened, and he keenly felt the latent danger creeping closer. He turned around quickly, shouted loudly, and organized everyone to find a way to reinforce the seal. The crowd's hurried steps moved back and forth in this narrow space, the atmosphere tense as a drawn bowstring.
Amidst the chaos, Mo Wenjie suddenly heard someone shout, "Come and see! There's an ancient book here!" The crowd's attention was instantly drawn, and they saw a dusty ancient book lying quietly in the corner. Mo Wenjie hurried forward and carefully picked it up. The pages of the book were yellowed with age, as if they would crumble to dust with a gentle touch.
He gently blew away the surface dust and slowly opened the ancient book. The characters on the book were obscure and difficult to understand, as if they were shrouded in a mysterious veil of time. Mo Wenjie's brow furrowed, and he carefully recognized the text. After a moment, a trace of excitement flashed in his eyes, "I found it!" he shouted. It turned out that the ancient book recorded the method to reinforce the seal, which required collecting five mysterious gemstones, each placed in a different position of the seal, to stabilize it again by relying on the power of the gems.
Upon hearing this news, the crowd's spirits, which had been somewhat depressed, instantly brightened up. As if they had been infused with a powerful energy, a new spark of hope rekindled in everyone's eyes.
As the core figure in this team, Mo Wenjie made a decisive decision and began to allocate tasks with great speed and order. His eyes were as sharp as a torch, scanning each person's face, and he precisely arranged the responsibilities for each person based on their areas of expertise and skills.
Upon receiving their tasks, the others did not hesitate and began to act accordingly. Some checked their equipment to ensure its completeness and perfection, while others began to study the map and plan the optimal path for their journey. Still others gathered together to discuss potential situations they might encounter and strategies for dealing with them. The entire scene was tense yet organized, revealing a atmosphere of bravery and determination in the face of danger.
At that moment, the subtle sense of danger that had been lingering gradually became more intense. It seemed to transform into an invisible net, slowly enveloping the group. However, in the face of this increasingly approaching threat, they showed no signs of retreat. On the contrary, determination and fearless courage filled every heart within the group.
Despite the unknown darkness and dangers that awaited Mo Wenjie and his group ahead, they still stepped forward without hesitation, heading towards the place hidden by the mysterious gemstone. They knew that if they failed to find the gemstone in time and prevent the terrifying entity about to break its seal, the consequences would be unimaginable. Therefore, no matter how many hardships and difficulties lay ahead, they would never give up!
Mo Wenjie and the others explored cautiously, eventually arriving at an ancient ruin. The ruin's gate was tightly shut, emitting a sinister aura. Just as the group was at a loss on how to enter, Mo Wenjie noticed some patterns on the gate similar to those he had seen in the cave before. Using his spiritual power, he touched the door and slowly it opened. Inside, smoke was swirling, and there were several faint spots of light visible. The crowd was overjoyed, assuming they had found the gemstone. However, as soon as they stepped inside, many puppet guardians appeared around them, holding weapons and charging towards them.
Mo Wenjie shouted loudly, and the crowd quickly took defensive positions. Mo Wenjie rushed forward, using his powerful spells to confront the puppets. The others worked together, attacking the joints of the puppets and casting supportive spells. After a fierce battle, the puppets began to lose ground.
Taking advantage of the moment, Mo Wenjie destroyed all the puppets with a single strike. They then continued deeper into the ruins, where at the end of a dais, they saw a gemstone emitting a brilliant glow.
Mo Wenjie picked up the gemstone and felt its powerful energy, knowing that they were one step closer to stopping the terrifying entity. He quickly led the others away, hurrying to the next possible location where the gemstone might be.
Mo Wenjie and his team arrived at the next location - an abandoned ancient temple. The area around the temple was filled with malevolent energy, sending shivers down their spines. As soon as they entered the temple, they heard a chilling howl that sent chills up their spines. Mo Wenjie grew alert and signaled to his team to be cautious.
The group scattered to search for the gemstone, when suddenly the ground cracked open and several giant snake demons burst out. The demons hissed and their eyes glowed with malevolence. Mo Wenjie formed hand seals and sent a stream of flame towards the snake demons, while the other team members cast spells to fight them. The snake demons were extremely agile, evading and counterattacking continuously.
In the midst of the fierce battle, Mo Wenjie noticed a strange glow behind the temple's statues. While defending against the snake demons, he slowly approached the statues. Just as the snake demons were caught off guard, Mo Wenjie leaped to the back of the statue and found a gemstone. He quickly picked it up, and two gemstones resonated to produce a powerful force that instantly suppressed the snake demons.
Mo Wenjie, without hesitation, took advantage of the chaos and led his team to quickly leave the ancient and mysterious temple. They held the two gemstones that emanated an odd light in their hands, as if they were holding symbols of hope and power.
Each person's gaze was fixed tightly on the two invaluable gemstones, with a clear realization that they were one step closer to ultimate victory. However, they also knew that the path ahead was still filled with thorns and hazards, and countless unknown dangers were lurking in the shadows, waiting for them.
But at this moment, their eyes no longer showed any trace of fear. Instead, they had an increasingly firm resolve. It was a relentless pursuit of their goal, a courage that would not shrink before any difficulty. With steady steps, they resolutely set off again on their long journey to find the remaining gemstones.
Along the way, the wind blew through their ears, bringing a chill; the leaves rustled as if whispering tales of the land. The figures of Mo Wenjie and his team gradually faded into the distance across this vast expanse, leaving behind a trail of solid footprints...
Mo Wenjie and his companions arrived at a tranquil valley. The mist in the valley was thick, obstructing their view. As they walked, they suddenly felt a hollow sensation under their feet and fell into a trap. The bottom of the trap was covered in spikes. Luckily, they reacted quickly and used spells to hover in mid-air. At this moment, many writhing vines appeared on the surrounding walls, covered with thorns, wrapping towards them. Mo Wenjie wielded his spiritual power to transform it into a blade and cut the vines, while the others also moved to defend against them.
In the midst of their struggle, Mo Wenjie noticed a faint glow in the corner, which was probably the gemstone. With all his might, he broke through the vines' barrier and approached the source of light. To his surprise, it was indeed the third gemstone. After obtaining the gemstone, the vines ceased their attack.
They climbed out of the trap and continued their journey, reaching a river. The water in the river churned with hidden currents, and there seemed to be a lurking giant creature beneath its surface. Mo Wenjie used his spiritual power to probe, locking the gemstone's location right in the center of the riverbed. He took a deep breath and dived into the water. Ding Qiaoyao and Huang Ling'er, Jiang Yurou, Xiao Yawen, Ding Yan, Tuoba Yingying, Qin Xiaodi, Cao Chunling, Jin Can's Fairy Goddess and Ling Xue were on guard on the shore. The pressure was immense at the bottom of the river and there were many water monsters causing disturbance. However, Mo Wenjie managed to retrieve the fourth gemstone successfully. After reaching shore again, everyone rushed towards the location of the last gemstone with determination as success or failure depended on this final endeavor.
The group ran to the foot of a perilous peak where howling winds and swirling clouds enveloped the area. Mo Wenjie sensed that the gemstone was atop the peak. The mountain was steep and treacherous, making climbing extremely arduous, with any misstep risking a fall into a great abyss. Mo Wenjie exerted his spiritual power to create numerous handrails for everyone to use for leverage. After much effort, they finally reached near the summit when a huge thunderbird shrieked down, its wings flapping to produce streaks of lightning.
Mo Wenjie stepped forward to engage in a fierce duel with the thunderbird in the sky. The others took advantage of the opportunity to rush towards the summit of the mountain. The thunderbird's attacks were incredibly fast, and Mo Wenjie began to feel increasingly outmatched. In a critical moment, the female teammates combined their powers and summoned their respective magical artifacts, unleashing a powerful beam that struck the thunderbird. Mo Wenjie took advantage of this opportunity and delivered a decisive blow, severely injuring the thunderbird. The group finally reached the summit, where they saw that the last gemstone was resting on top of a large boulder.
Mo Wenjie walked forward and picked up the gemstone. The five gemstones gathered together, emitting a radiant glow. The group hurried back to the sealing location and, following the instructions from the ancient texts, they arranged the gemstones. The power of the gemstones activated, reinforcing the seal and trapping the malevolent force once more. Having successfully completed their mission, Mo Wenjie looked at his companions with a smile of relief. After enduring numerous trials, not only had they protected the tranquility of the world, but their bonds with each other had grown stronger.
Mo Wenjie spoke up, "Despite the perilous journey we've been through, our efforts have been richly rewarded. Not only have we saved the world, but the trust and understanding between us have become invaluable treasures." The group nodded in agreement. Suddenly, a divine light descended from the sky, and a voice resonated from above: "For your protection of the world, you are granted a special opportunity." As a beam of golden light merged with their bodies. Mo Wenjie felt his spiritual power becoming more abundant and refined. He marveled as he realized his cultivation had advanced to a new realm. The others also had similar insights, some achieving breakthroughs in their cultivation techniques while others gained new divine powers.
The group decided to return to their sect for rest and cultivation. After Mo Wenjie returned to his residence, he began a closed-door period to consolidate his cultivation. Days later, upon emerging, he heard that there was an anomaly on the back mountains of their sect. Upon investigation, he found a garden of spiritual plants, growing rare medicinal herbs. It was a gift from the heavens for their effort in protecting the world. Mo Wenjie summoned everyone to share these resources, and they all studied alchemy together, producing many elixirs beneficial for cultivation. From then on, they continued to practice in secret within the city while occasionally venturing out to punish evil and promote righteousness, becoming a legendary tale in the city's cultivation circles.
