Mo Wenjie and others like Ding Qingyao, Huang Ling er, Jiang YuRou, XiaoYanwen, Ding Yan, Qin XiaoDi, Cao ChunLing, Jin ChaoXianZi and LingXue carefully stepped forward with caution, constantly exploring the unknown field in front of them. The surrounding environment became increasingly mysterious and quiet, as if it was hiding countless secrets waiting for them to uncover.
Suddenly, Ling Xue, who was walking at the front, stopped her steps. Her beautiful face lit up with a joyful smile and she shouted loudly: "Everyone quick! That's the so-called Crystal Land ahead!" Hearing this, everyone hurried to speed up their pace and looked in the direction indicated by Ling Xue. At a distance, a brilliant glow was flickering intermittently, as if a visionary scene was presented before their eyes.
The crowd can't wait to approach this crystal land. Upon stepping in, they felt a warm, living texture underfoot, as if the earth itself was alive. Mo Wenjie crouched down and carefully observed, discovering that the crystals here had strange patterns, resembling ancient runes.
At this moment, the crystal land suddenly shook. Columns of crystals emerged from the ground, dividing the crowd. Then, some virtual images appeared around them, showing scenes of ancient cultivators practicing and battling in this place.
Jin ChaoXianZi exclaimed in surprise: "It seems that this crystal land contains huge opportunities as well as significant dangers." As soon as she finished speaking, a giant beast formed of crystal slowly appeared. It roared and charged towards XiaoYanwen, the closest to it.
Xiao Yawen's eyes narrowed, and with a speed like lightning, her right hand swiftly drew a sword from her waist that shone with frosty light. Instantly, the blade flickered with dazzling spiritual energy, as if countless tiny currents were swirling within it, producing a hissing sound.
At the same time, the other companions also showed no mercy. They all took a deep breath and activated their internal spiritual energy, causing various lights to shine around them as if they were brilliant stars in the sky at night. Some used their hands to form magical seals and recited incantations, while others directly focused their spiritual energy into their palms, forming groups of fiery or icy breaths.
At this moment, the giant crystal beast moved with heavy steps, inching closer to the crowd. With each step it took, the ground would slightly tremble, as if the entire earth was afraid of its power. As the distance between them grew shorter, people could clearly see the translucent crystal scales on its body and the blood-red eyes that exuded a fierce glow.
A thrilling battle was about to unfold, and in this mysterious crystal land, Mo Wenjie and Ding Qingyao, Huang Ling'er, Jiang Yu Rou, Xiao Ya Wen, Ding Yan, Tuobawaying, Qin Xiaodie, Cao Chunling, Jin Can Xianzi, and Ling Xue—none of them knew how many unknown secrets and dangers were hidden here. Perhaps after defeating the terrifying giant beast before them, more unexpected challenges were awaiting them ahead...
Xiao Ya Wen was the first to launch an attack, her figure flashed like a wind, heading straight for the crystal beast. The sword pierced directly into the beast's eyes, and the beast swayed aside, the sword slicing through its scales and creating a string of sparks. Mo Wenjie saw this and quickly formed a magical seal with his hands, shouting loudly: "Break the Demon Seal!" A golden character flew towards the beast. The beast was stunned and shook its head.
Huang Ling'er threw several threads of spiritual energy from her hand, instantly entangling the beast's limbs. However, the beast struggled with such force that all the threads snapped. Jiang Yu Rou employed ice magic, causing the temperature around them to plummet rapidly, with large amounts of ice crystals attacking the beast. But the beast spat out a hot breath, melting all the ice crystals.
The crowd found it difficult to harm the beast at first. At this moment, Jin Chao Xian Zi shouted loudly, and countless golden silkworms flew out of her body, entering the beast's scales through the gaps. The beast writhed in pain. Mo Wenjie seized the opportunity and formed another seal with his hands, this time the Restricting Beast Seal. The beast was firmly fixed in place. With joint efforts, various spiritual energy attacks were launched simultaneously, and finally the beast exploded with a loud sound, shattering into countless crystal pieces.
Just as Mo Wenjie and his companions had barely begun to relax, the crystal ground in the center suddenly split open without warning! The crack quickly widened, forming a massive and splendid doorway. The door was covered in an intricate array of mysterious runes that shimmered with strange lights, as if it contained endless secrets and power.
As the door gap slowly opened, a formidable and heart-stopping aura surged out from within, sweeping outwards like an overflowing flood.
Mo Wenjie and his companions felt their breath catch in their throats and an indescribable fear and tension began to build within them. There was no doubt that a new, unprecedented enormous challenge lay ahead of them, waiting for them to face and conquer with bravery.
Mo Wenjie clenched his teeth, and stepped forward to face the giant door. As he approached, the runes on the door suddenly emitted light, enveloping him. Mo Wenjie felt a sharp pain in his body, but then a powerful force surged within him. He realized that this was a test as well as an opportunity.
Upon seeing this, the others also followed suit. When Ding Qingyao touched the rune light, her divine power was purified somewhat. The crowd entered the rune light one after another, enduring pain while also experiencing an increase in their strength.
After everyone had passed through, the doorway fully opened to reveal a palace shimmering with seven colors of light. A giant crystal orb floated in the center, within which seemed to be stars circling.
Suddenly, a solemn voice echoed: "Your ability to reach this place proves you have certain prowess. This crystal orb was sealed by me in my past days. To obtain the treasure, someone must volunteer to sacrifice their own spiritual energy into the orb."
The crowd exchanged glances, and Xiao Ya Wen stepped forward: "We have shared life and death on this journey, and if such a sacrifice is necessary, then let it begin with me." The others echoed her sentiments, each offering a portion of their spiritual energy. As the crystal orb absorbed the spiritual energy, it burst into brilliant light, and countless treasures and scriptures flew out from within. The group erupted into joyous expressions, their harvest bountiful.
While the group was still basking in the joy of their harvest, the palace suddenly began to shake violently. Cracks appeared in the ground, and stones on the walls started to fall. "We're in trouble!" Mo Wenjie shouted.
It turned out that all of this was a trap set by an evil ancient cultivator, who used the greed of the group to lure them here. At this moment, numerous puppet dolls emerged from all directions, their eyes glowing red with malice, and they rushed towards the group with weapons in hand.
Although the group had obtained precious artifacts and scripts, they had yet to fully master their usage. However, they did not panic, for they had faced numerous challenges throughout their journey. Mo Wenjie waved his hands, and a spiritual energy barrier temporarily halted the onslaught of the puppet dolls. Ding Qingyao took out the newly acquired artifact——a binding spell that she cast towards the horde of puppet dolls, instantly immobilizing several of them.
The others also retaliated using various methods. However, the number of puppet dolls was overwhelming, gradually breaking through the defenses. In a critical moment, Mo Wenjie remembered that the crystal orb still had remaining energy. He rushed over and poured his spiritual energy into it, causing the crystal orb to glow once again.
Mo Wenjie guided the glow to envelop everyone, and they all felt their strength surge. Together, they finally eradicated all the puppet dolls. Having faced this crisis, the group became more cautious, aware that every step in this journey through the seven realms was filled with challenges.
After a brief rest, the group continued to explore the mysterious palace. Mo Wenjie led the way, always vigilant for potential dangers. As they walked, several forked paths appeared ahead. Each path was shrouded in mist of different colors, exuding an ominous aura.
Mo Wenjie furrowed his brow and thought for a moment before deciding to split into three groups to explore. He led Huang Ling'er and Jiang Yu Rou into the left fork, Ding Qingyao led a few others into the middle path, and Xiao Ya Wen took the remaining group into the right fork.
As soon as Mo Wenjie stepped into the mist, he felt as if he had entered another realm. Surrounding him was an endless desert with scorching sunlight overhead. Suddenly, a sandstorm rose up, revealing a colossal sand beast within the swirling sand. Mo Wenjie remained calm and composed, coordinating with Huang Ling'er and Jiang Yu Rou. Huang Ling'er formed a protective net using spiritual threads, Jiang Yu Rou summoned ice walls to block the sandstorm, while Mo Wenjie faced the sand beast head-on. After a fierce battle, Mo Wenjie discovered its weakness and delivered a decisive blow, defeating the beast.
Soon, Mo Wenjie and the others finally gathered together again. Each person's face bore a mix of fatigue and excitement, eager to recount the strange and peculiar events, as well as the thrilling experiences they had encountered along their journey, to their companions.
Huang Ling'er was the first to speak, vividly describing their encounter with a dense fog-filled forest where they became lost, accompanied by frequent eerie screams; Tuo Baiying then recounted the bizarre traps they encountered in an ancient castle, which could easily lead to fatal consequences if not handled carefully; for the third group, they detailed their fierce battle against a pack of savage beasts, scenes of bloodshed and brutality that still haunted them.
However, despite all the bizarre events they had experienced, the road ahead of them remained shrouded in mystery. Yet, when they exchanged gazes with one another, the only resolve they saw in each other's eyes was unwavering. That fervent desire to uncover the truth and unravel the layered mysteries of the Seven Realms burned as fiercely as a flame, inspiring them to face any obstacles without fear.
Thus, after a brief but necessary pause and rejuvenation, Mo Wenjie and his companions—a courageous and fearless team—once again readied themselves and set out on a new journey with determination.
Their goal was clear and unwavering: to venture deeper into the legendary, enigmatic, and awe-inspiring Crystal Land of the Seven Realms! It seemed to hold countless unknown secrets and dangers, but this did not shake their resolve to move forward.
The sun shone down on each of their resolute faces, reflecting the burning determination within their hearts. Mo Wenjie led the front of the group, his grip tight on the sword that symbolized hope and strength, his steps steady and firm; following closely behind were the team members, all with solemn expressions and each carrying their unique skills and convictions.
Throughout their journey, they traversed dense forests, scaled steep mountains, and crossed raging rivers... every step was filled with hardship, yet no one complained or retreated. For they knew that only by pressing forward could they unveil the mysterious veil of the Crystal Land of the Seven Realms and seek out the immense treasure and power it held within.
