The addition of Wenjian brought new opportunities for the Lin siblings and Shue Ling. They decided to venture together to the ancient ruins hidden deep in the towering mountains, in search of the secrets concealed within the "soul mirror."
The ruins were located in a remote valley, surrounded by dense jungle. Morning mist enveloped the area, and the mountain breeze carried the scent of damp earth. Lin Tiantian's steps were light, and her clothes fluttered in the gentle breeze.
Lin Ting walks at the forefront of the team, with sharp and steady eyes scanning the surrounding environment. He is always ready to respond to potential dangers, and his rigorous attitude demonstrates his sense of responsibility.
Shue Ling, on the other hand, appears indifferent. He walks alongside Lin Tiantian with a pair of deep blue eyes that seem to penetrate the mist and perceive everything. His arrogance sets him apart from the surrounding environment, but his concern for Lin Tiantian is evident.
As the guide for this expedition, Wenjian seems to know every stone and blade of grass in the ruins like the back of his hand. As he walks, he recounts the history and legends of the ruins, his voice revealing a deep respect and nostalgia for ancient civilizations.
When they arrive at a stone gate covered with ancient vines, Wenjian stops in his tracks and takes a deep breath. "This is the legendary 'Soul's Gate,' the entrance to the ruins. We must proceed with great caution, as this place is filled with traps and dangers at every turn."
Lin Tiantian excitedly approached the stone gate, her fingers lightly touching the ancient carvings, her eyes sparkling. She said to Shue Ling, "This time we will definitely uncover the secret of the 'soul mirror'!" Her voice was filled with adventurous passion.
Shue Ling simply responded softly, but his eyes involuntarily followed Lin Tiantian's figure.
They passed through the stone gate and entered a wide underground cave. The cave was filled with stalactites, and the bizarre rock formations cast long shadows in the candlelight, as if invisible creatures were lurking in the darkness.
Lin Ting tightly gripped the short sword in his hand and reminded everyone, "Stay alert, there may be traps or mechanisms here." His words carried a serious tone that could not be ignored.
They carefully made their way through the narrow passage, with Wenjian occasionally stopping to study the ancient texts and symbols on the walls, trying to find clues leading to the depths of the ruins.
In the dark and eerie atmosphere deep within the cave, a faint sound caught everyone's attention. Lin Tiantian tightly gripped the powerful shape-shifting spirit sword in her hand, her eyes gleaming with the desire for battle. She had a natural intuitive sense for unknown dangers.
Suddenly, a group of bizarre creatures emerged from the darkness like ghosts, their twisted forms appearing even more terrifying in the dim light. Their eyes emitted a cold gleam, and their howls shattered the tranquility of the cave.
Lin Ting reacted swiftly, wielding his short sword like flowing water, its light illuminating the surrounding darkness. Each of his sword strikes was extremely precise, driving back these monsters one by one. His movements revealed a natural grace and restraint, maintaining a calm and calculated demeanor even in the midst of intense battle.
Shue Ling embodies the dominance and power of the Prince of the Demon Tribe. His icy whip swings through the air, freezing every monster it strikes. His gaze is cold, his face expressionless, yet every movement displays his pride and strength.
Lin Tiantian is like a fierce lion in battle. Her spirit sword changes with her emotions, at times raging like a storm, at times gentle like flowing water. Every strike is filled with power and speed, her face showing passion and determination. Her eyes shimmer with an unyielding light, as if declaring her unbeatable will to these monsters.
After a fierce battle, the last monster was finally defeated. The four of them paused briefly to catch their breath, their eyes revealing a sense of relaxation and fatigue after the victory. Lin Tiantian had a satisfied smile on her face as she looked at the fallen monster, feeling a sense of accomplishment after the battle.
Lin Ting gently wiped the blood from his sword, his eyes still alert. He said to Lin Tiantian, "These monsters came from who knows where. We must be more careful."
Shue Ling He retracted his long whip and a hint of contemplation flashed in his eyes: "The appearance of these monsters seems to imply that there is a greater secret hidden within this ruin."
Suddenly, a massive shadow emerged from the depths of the cave. It was a colossal stone statue, covered in ancient and mysterious runes. The eyes of the statue suddenly lit up, emitting a dazzling light that illuminated the entire cave.
Lin Tiantian was filled with astonishment in her eyes, instinctively feeling that the secret of this stone statue was closely related to the "soul mirror." She took a step forward, reaching out to touch the stone statue, attempting to sense its power.
At that moment, the stone statue suddenly let out a deafening roar, and a dazzling beam of light shot out from its mouth, heading straight for Lin Tiantian.
Lin Ting let out a loud shout and quickly rushed forward, using his own body to shield Lin Tiantian. His short sword turned into a shield of light, attempting to resist the beam.
But the power of the beam was too strong, and Lin Ting could only resist for a moment before being forcefully pushed back by the powerful impact. His body collided with the rock wall, and he spat out a mouthful of blood.
Shue Ling Hastily, he rushed forward, one hand supporting Lin Ting, the other waving a whip made of ice and snow, trying to stop the stone statue's attack.
Wen Jian stood nearby, chanting incantations, holding an ancient talisman in his hand, attempting to break the seal on the stone statue.
At this critical moment, Lin Tiantian took out the "soul mirror" and raised it high. Under the beam of light, the "soul mirror" began to emit a faint blue light, as if it had created some kind of resonance with the stone statue. Lin Tiantian gritted her teeth, gathered all her strength, and aimed the "soul mirror" at the stone statue.
After the heavy roar and dazzling beam of light from the stone statue gradually disappeared, subtle changes began to occur on the surface of the stone, which was covered in mysterious runes. These runes and patterns seemed to be activated by ancient power, and began to shimmer with a faint light.
Jian's eyes sparkled with excitement as he quickly approached the stone statue, carefully examining the shimmering runes. "This is the secret we've been searching for!" he exclaimed. "The connection between the 'soul mirror' and this statue is undoubtedly the key to unraveling the entire mystery."
Lin Ting slowly stood up, despite being lightly injured, his eyes still showing determination. He walked towards Lin Tiantian and whispered, " Tiantian, you have performed exceptionally well."
Lin Tiantian's face blossomed with a victorious smile, but her eyes were filled with worry as she looked at Lin Ting with concern, saying, "Brother, are you okay? Don't force yourself."
At this moment, Shue Ling let go of his previously tense vigilance, and a hint of admiration flashed in his cold eyes as he said to Lin Tiantian, "Your bravery just now is admirable, Lin Tiantian."
Wenjian is completely focused on studying the runes on the stone statue, his fingers gently touching the ancient characters as if engaging in a conversation with history. After a while, he turns around and says to everyone with a serious expression, "These runes record an ancient prophecy closely linked to the power of the 'soul mirror.' It seems to foretell a major event that will affect the balance of the three realms."
Lin Ting furrows his brows and asks, "What does this prophecy specifically refer to? Is there a way for us to prevent this event?"
Wen Jian shook his head gently, indicating uncertainty: "To fully interpret this prophecy, we need more information and clues. But what we can confirm for now is that the power hidden within 'soul mirror' will be the key."
After hearing this, Lin Tiantian, although filled with doubts, had a determined look in her eyes: "Regardless, we cannot just sit idly by. We must uncover the secret of 'soul mirror' and unravel all of this!"
Shue Ling Snowball nodded coldly, a hint of complex emotions flashing in his eyes: "It seems that we still have a long way to go."
Facing the gradually revealed ancient secrets, each of the four had their own thoughts. Wenjian, after this series of discoveries, decided to temporarily leave in order to further study these runes and prophecies. "I need some time to study these discoveries on my own," Wenjian said, his eyes revealing a sense of longing. "I will keep in touch with you, and as soon as I have new findings, I will notify you immediately."
Shue Ling His decision did not come as a surprise, after all, the demon clan has a natural understanding of independence and self-pursuit. He nodded lightly to show his agreement.
Lin TingUnderstands Wen Jian's decision and gently pats his shoulder, saying, "Your knowledge is very valuable to us. Be careful."
Lin Tiantian seemed a little reluctant, wrinkling her nose and saying, "We're parting so soon? But you haven't told me more fun things yet." Her words carried a hint of coquetry.
Wen Jian smiled and comforted her, "Don't worry, Lin Tiantian. We'll meet again when we have the chance. By then, I will bring more knowledge and discoveries." With that, he turned and walked into the dense forest, disappearing into the thin mist.
After Wen Jian left, the remaining three people decided to return to the village and re-plan their next steps.
On the way back, Lin Tiantian looked at the lush trees and the lingering mist around her. She couldn't help but jump onto a large rock and strike a heroic pose, saying, "Look, brothers, Shue Ling, we will definitely uncover all the secrets and protect our world!"
Lin Ting looked at her actions and couldn't help but show a doting smile, but at the same time reminded her, " Tiantian, don't be too impulsive. We need a more thorough plan and preparation."
Shue Ling looked at Lin Tiantian, and although there was a hint of speechlessness in his eyes, it also revealed admiration: "Your enthusiasm is indeed what we need." His words, though cold, were a kind of recognition for Lin Tiantian.
The three of them finally returned to the village, each with their own thoughts in their hearts.
