During the journey, Mo Wenjie felt an invisible force blocking their path. The surrounding space was distorted, resembling a labyrinth. Mo Wenjie held tight to the spiritual bead, concentrating his spirit to perceive the direction. The companions also individually employed magic to seek a way out. Suddenly, a hot breath blew towards them, and a qilin with flames all over its body appeared ahead.
The qilin roared angrily, making everyone's blood and breath turn chaotic. Mo Wenjie realized that the qilin must be a sacred beast guarding this place, and they had to defeat it to pass. He rushed forward towards the qilin, his weapon flashing with fiery light. The others also joined the battle upon seeing this. After a fierce struggle for a long time, everyone gradually understood the qilin's attack patterns.
Mo Wenjie seized the opportunity, injecting the power of the spiritual bead into the artifact. The artifact's light intensified. He struck with all his might, hitting the qilin's vulnerable spot. The qilin cried out in agony, turning into a stream of light that vanished. In front of them, the originally blurred path became clear, and a palace shimmering with brilliant light appeared before them - that was said to be the most mysterious part of the Tuo state palace. The group exchanged a smile, filled with excitement as they quickly made their way towards the palace to prepare for an even greater destiny waiting for them.
As they approached the palace gate, it slowly opened, but inside was not as they had imagined, filled with sparkling jewels and precious stones. Instead, there was a scene of tranquility and peace, with mist swirling around several medicinal herbs that emitted a strange glow. Just as the group was about to approach for a closer look, the ground began to shake, and a series of figures emerged from beneath it—android soldiers clad in ancient armor. Their eyes cold, they launched an attack without saying a word.
Mo Wenjie and the others quickly countered, with all kinds of magical treasures appearing at once, their spiritual light flashing. However, these puppets were incredibly resilient, and even ordinary attacks could not harm them in the slightest.
Mo Wenjie's mind turned, thinking that the spiritual bead could defeat the qilin, so it might also be able to deal with the puppets. He then once again directed the spiritual bead's power outward. The spiritual bead shot out several beams of light, entangling the puppets, rendering them unable to move in an instant. After dealing with the puppets, the group continued to delve deeper into the palace.
At the deepest point of the magnificent and splendid palace, a mysterious light flickered faintly. Driven by curiosity, Mo Wenjie cautiously approached the source of the light. As he stepped closer, he finally saw where the glow originated—it was an exquisitely delicate jade box!
The jade box emitted a faint, slightly translucent luster, as if it held an endless secret and power. Mo Wenjie's heart accelerated, and he unconsciously reached out to touch the mysterious jade box. However, just as his fingertips were about to touch the box, an unusual fluctuation suddenly occurred in the surrounding space.
Following that, a phantom-like image of an elder appeared slowly. The elder was dressed in a rustic long robe, with flowing white hair and a benign but stern countenance. He wore a serene and deep gaze upon everyone present, his eyes seeming to penetrate all.
Mo Wenjie and Ding Qingyao, Huang Ling'er, Jiang Yurou, Xiao Yawen, Ding Yan, Tuobaying, Qin Xiaodie, Cao Chunling, the Golden Silkworm Fairy, and Ling Xue were so startled by the sudden turn of events that they stood there in a state of shock, completely unsure of how to respond. The ethereal elder continued to gaze at them silently, as if weighing whether these intruders were qualified to obtain the treasure within the jade box. The entire scene fell into a tense and solemn atmosphere...
After a long time, the elder finally spoke, "What brings you here?" Mo Wenjie stepped forward respectfully and answered, "Senior, we have heard that there is a treasure appearing in this place, so we have come to seek our fortune." The elder shook his head lightly and said, "Treasures are not so easily obtained. This jade box contains the heavens and earth, but only those with great righteousness and profound fortune can open it." Everyone looked at each other in confusion.
Mo Wenjie pondered for a moment and said, "Senior, although we have come for the treasure, we also know that it cannot be forced. If there is truly no fate for it, we will leave here. However, I beg of you to tell us the purpose of this treasure, so that we may know its value." The elder nodded slightly and waved his hand. A series of images appeared in the air, depicting scenes of suffering among living beings in the world. The elder said: "This treasure can solve the great chaos in the world. However, if it falls into the hands of evil people, then there will be endless trouble."
Looking at the group, Mo Wenjie said firmly, "Senior, we are willing to undergo the test to prove our sincerity." The elder showed a look of satisfaction and then set up numerous difficult challenges. The group worked together and solved each one after another. In the end, the elder nodded contentedly, and the jade box slowly flew into Mo Wenjie's hands. A flash of light occurred as it merged into his body. Mo Wenjie felt a powerful force filling his entire body and also realized that he was burdened with a great responsibility.
Mo Wenjie secretly thought, though this powerful force is immense, it would be difficult to use it to resolve the great chaos in the world. Turning to face the group, he said, "Gentlemen and ladies, with this heavy responsibility on our shoulders, I alone might not be able to accomplish it. I need your help." Everyone nodded in agreement.
At that moment, the sky suddenly darkened, with ominous clouds gathering and distant rumbles of thunder. Mo Wenjie looked up, his expression turning serious as he sensed an evil presence approaching. In the distance, a dark aura quickly swept towards them, carrying a cackle of menace from within the mist: "The jade box should have been mine! You little worms dare to touch it!"
Mo Wenjie clasped his hands into seals, the power within him surging, as he shouted, "Never think of seizing this savior of the world!" The others also assumed defensive postures. Mo Wenjie charged forward first, engaging with the mass of evil aura. He unleashed the newly acquired power, creating a dazzling burst of light. However, the evil aura was tenacious, constantly counterattacking. Just as the group felt strained, Mo Wenjie recalled that there were still some special abilities within him that had not been uncovered since the jade box had merged with him. He forcibly calmed his spirit and tried to guide this hidden force. Instantly, a sanctifying light burst forth from his body, dispelling a large area of the evil aura. The evil presence seeing the situation deteriorate let out a cold snort and slowly retreated.
Mo Wenjie deeply breathed out a mouthful of phlegm, finally putting to rest the heavy burden on his heart. He understood that although he had temporarily overcome one difficulty, the road ahead of him was still long and rugged, filled with countless unknown challenges and arduous obstacles.
The mission to save mankind is a formidable one for Mo Wenjie at this moment. It's merely the beginning of a war without smoke but crucial to the life and death of all living beings in the world. Every step forward needs careful consideration and full commitment.
Yet, there was not a trace of fear in Mo Wenjie's eyes; instead, they sparkled with determination. He fully understood the gravity of his responsibility and knew that this path was bound to be fraught with difficulties and setbacks. However, he had made full preparations to embrace all challenges and setbacks. For within his heart lay a deep love for all things in the world and an unwavering belief in protecting the multitude.
Mo Wenjie led the group to continue their journey. As they reached a barren valley, the area was filled with eerie fog. Suddenly, many demonic wolves emerged from the mist, their eyes glowing with an eerie green light. Mo Wenjie held his artifact and charged into the wolf pack, followed by the rest of the group. These demonic wolves were not only numerous but also extraordinarily fast, causing some difficulty for the group to defend themselves. Mo Wenjie quickly decided to use the power granted by the jade box to set up a barrier, temporarily trapping some of the demonic wolves. He then directed his group to attack and defeat the remaining demonic wolves one by one. After a hard-fought battle, they finally managed to drive away the wolf pack.
Next, they arrived at a riverbank. The river appeared calm on the surface but hid some mystical tricks. Mo Wenjie tested the water with his spiritual power and discovered that there were water ghosts lurking within. He devised a plan and asked Ding Qingyao, who was skilled in water control techniques, to stir the river, forcing the water ghosts to reveal themselves. With everyone joining in the attack, they managed to eliminate the water ghosts.
With the passage of time and the continuous extension of the journey, Mo Wenjie became increasingly aware of the great challenges and difficulties on this path to save mankind. However, regardless of the difficulties and setbacks he faced, his firm conviction deep within remained unshaken.
Whenever danger looms, Mo Wenjie's mind involuntarily flashes with the sacred mission he carries. It's not just a responsibility but an endless love and commitment to all the people in the world. It is this sense of mission that burns like a fiery flame in his chest, motivating him to face his fears and move forward courageously.
And his fearless and indomitable spirit deeply infects the others around him. Everyone is touched by his courage and perseverance and follows his lead, never leaving or abandoning him. They understand that there may be more unknown challenges and crises ahead, but as long as they remain united and committed, there is nothing that can hinder their progress.
So, Mo Wenjie and Ding Qingyao, Huang Ling'er, Jiang Yurou, Xiao Yawen, Ding Yan, Tuobaying, Qin Xiaodie, Cao Chunling, the Golden Silkworm Fairy and Ling Xue. This team full of fighting spirit continued their journey forward with every step prepared to face the next rigorous test. This group of various styles but indomitable resilience embarked on an unknown journey.
The sunlight bathed them, casting a glow on the determination in each of their eyes. Ding Qingyao moved gracefully, her eyes full of liveliness, often glancing around her surroundings; Huang Ling'er, dressed in fiery red clothes, exuded an energetic and fearless aura; Jiang Yurou was mild-mannered and tranquil, with the books in her hand seeming to contain boundless wisdom. Xiao Yawen appeared stern, exuding an air of inviolability; Ding Yan was lively and playful, adding a bit of lightness to the group with her bouncing around; Tuobaying carried the roughness of the grassland girls and strode forward boldly.
Qin Xiaodie had sharp eyes, not missing any sign of the wind or the grass moving; Cao Chunling appeared gentle, but was silently protecting the group; the Golden Silkworm Fairy exuded a mysterious glow, her movements carrying an unusual charm; Ling Xue was like a plum blossom in the snow, cool and tenacious.
Mo Wenjie walked at the center of the group, fully aware of his responsibility to lead them. Facing the potential challenges and difficulties ahead, they trusted and supported each other. Each step they took was solid and confident, as if they were determined to break through all the obstacles with their firm steps, leaving a legendary footprint for themselves on this unknown journey.
