With the first ray of morning light piercing through the dense canopy, a group of people entered the Enchanted Valley, a place of legend said to be passable only by true warriors. However, instead of a clear sky, they were greeted by a vast expanse of mist, seemingly capable of swallowing all light and sense of direction. The air was filled with a mysterious and ancient aura, imposing a heavy sense of oppression on all who encountered it.
Murong Yao stood at the front, taking a deep breath in an attempt to find a clue within the mist. She closed her eyes, allowing her senses to merge with the surrounding nature. After a moment, she slowly opened her eyes, a glimmer of light shining within them.
"This forest seems to be growing some kind of invisible power that distorts space, making the mist even denser and more inseparable. We must proceed with caution and feel every step beneath our feet," Murong Yao said, turning to his companions with a determined voice.
Tuoba Xuan nodded gently, his gaze firm and profound, as if able to see through everything. Immortal Yueshea and his disciples also adjusted their breathing, attempting to find their center in this chaos.
A group of people began to move forward slowly, with each step appearing particularly cautious. The voices in the fog seemed to be amplified several times, and even the light footsteps sounded like echoes. Relying on her intuition, Murong Yao led everyone around one invisible obstacle after another.
Suddenly, a light breeze blew through, revealing a blurry path in the fog. Murong Yao stopped and pointed to the path, saying, "Look, nature has given us guidance. We must follow this path, but be sure not to deviate."
As they advanced along this vague path, the surrounding mist seemed to become denser, and the sense of spatial distortion grew stronger. Several times, they were almost confused by the sudden illusions in the mist, but under Murong Yao's guidance, they were able to return to the correct path in time each time.
After a difficult journey of unknown duration, a faint light finally appeared ahead. The mist began to gradually dissipate, and a vast open space appeared in their sight. This marked their successful passage through the first challenge: the Misty Forest.
Murong Yao turned to look at his companions, a hint of a smile on his face: "We did it. But this is just the beginning, there are more challenges ahead of us. We need to keep moving forward and stay vigilant."
Tuoba Xuan and Immortal Yueshea exchanged a smile, their eyes filled with anticipation and determination for the future. After a brief rest, the group set out once again on their journey to find the spiritual treasures of the world.
After crossing the misty forest, Murong Yao and his companions finally arrived at the second level of the Enchanted Valley - the Illusory Water Pool. This water pool is located in the center of a vast valley, with a surface as calm as a mirror, reflecting the surrounding scenery and the drifting clouds. However, behind this tranquility lies hidden secrets and challenges unknown to outsiders.
Murong Yao stood at the edge of the pool, gazing at the mirror-like surface. She could feel that this pool was not just ordinary water; it seemed to be connected to the spiritual energy of the surrounding world, containing some kind of strange power.
"This pool is extraordinary. It can reflect the fears and desires deep within the soul. Each of us must face the challenges within our own hearts," said immortal Yueshea in a low and solemn voice, her gaze sweeping over everyone, as if reminding them that they were about to face not just external tests.
The crowd sat around the edge of the pool, closing their eyes and trying to calm their minds, preparing to face the impending illusions. Murong Yao knew that this test was different from any battle, as it tested the firmness and courage of the heart.
Suddenly, the water surface began to emit a faint light, reflecting the deepest fears and desires of each person's heart. Murong Yao saw the immortal realm she could not return to, feeling the deep longing and helplessness for Master; Tuoba Xuan faced the responsibility as Xuan Hua Emperor Lord and the tangled brotherly love and hatred with Tuoba Gui; immortal Yueshea faced the uncertainty of the future and the worry for the safety of her disciples.
At this moment, the pursuers sent by Tuoba Gui quietly approached, being drawn by the strange power of the water pool, they entered the range of the Illusory Water Pool. Unexpectedly, the power of the water pool also affected them, and one by one, the pursuers fell into their own mental illusions, forgetting the purpose of their pursuit.
Murong Yao sensed the arrival of the pursuers, but she also saw them falling into the illusion. She immediately understood that the test of the water pool was also a challenge to the enemies. She turned to her companions and said, "We must take advantage of this opportunity, overcoming our inner challenges while seeking a way to break through the water pool."
Under the guidance of immortal Yueshea, everyone began to delve into their own inner selves, facing and overcoming the fears and desires within those illusions. It was a silent battle, with each person fiercely contending with their own inner selves.
After a difficult inner struggle, they finally broke free from the bindings in their hearts, escaping from the illusions one by one. When the last person overcame the inner challenge, the light on the water gradually dissipated, restoring calm, and the pursuers were trapped by the Illusory Water Pool because they couldn't extricate themselves.
Murong Yao stood up and looked at the now calm pool of water. They had passed this test.
"Let's continue forward," Murong Yao said with determination and strength in her voice, leading her companions across the pool and continuing their journey to find the spiritual treasures of the world.
After successfully crossing the Illusory Water Pool, Murong Yao and his companions continued their journey and soon arrived at The next test in Enchanted Valley - Windblade Canyon.
This is a narrow valley wedged between steep mountain walls, where the wind is unusually strong, like countless sharp blades dancing in the air, capable of tearing apart any intruders.
Standing at the entrance of the gorge, a group of people can clearly hear the wind roaring like an angry dragon, with sharp gusts occasionally cutting through in front of them, tearing the air and emitting a whistling sound.
"This Windblade Canyon, the wind is strong, and each wind blade is deadly." Tuoba Xuan frowned, a determined light flashing in his eyes. "But we must pass through here and continue our journey."
Murong Yao nodded gently, her eyes also filled with determination. "We will definitely make it. Everyone follow me closely, pay attention to your steps, and try to avoid facing the wind blades directly."
Tuoba Xuan stood at the front of the group, carefully leading everyone into the canyon. Relying on the partially restored immortal power, he keenly sensed the movement trajectory of each wind blade, skillfully guiding his companions to maneuver between them and avoid being attacked as much as possible.
However, the trial of Windblade Canyon was not as simple as just the wind blades. As they delved deeper into the canyon, the wind became more fierce and the wind blades more dense. Several times, they were nearly injured by the sudden appearance of wind blades. Everyone had to fully utilize their agility and reflexes in order to survive in this deadly dance.
"Be careful!" In a moment of imminent danger, Murong Yao suddenly grabbed a disciple, pulling him tightly into her arms, avoiding a wind blade that almost touched his face. At that moment, her eyes were resolute and profound, like the brightest stars in the night sky, guiding everyone's direction forward.
After a long and arduous battle, they finally reached the other end of the canyon, escaping the siege of the wind blades. Although everyone was exhausted, their eyes were filled with joy and pride. They knew that once again they had overcome seemingly impossible challenges.
"We did it!" Murong Yao looked at her companions and said softly, her voice filled with warmth and encouragement: "Every test has made us stronger. As long as we stand united, nothing can stop us from moving forward."
Tuoba Xuan stood beside Murong Yao, his gaze deep and distant, as if able to see through the thick fog to the bright future ahead. "Yes, no matter how difficult the road ahead may be, we will face it together and overcome it."
