The first ray of morning sunlight pierced through the clouds, illuminating the mountains of the Orchid Sect. Yun Xiyue and Mo Zetian were already standing on a secluded high ground in the world of cultivation, overlooking the vast expanse of the heavens and the earth. At this moment, their hearts were filled with indescribable passion.
"Look at the vastness of this world, how magnificent it is," Yun Xiyue exclaimed with excitement in her eyes, as if every trial could cleanse her soul.
Mo Zetian Quietly standing by her side, with amber eyes as deep as the sea, he calmly said, "In this world, there are always things worth pursuing, regardless of the outcome."
The purpose of their journey was to seek out ancient and mysterious realms, to enhance their own cultivation, and to combat the endless conspiracies of the Abyss Lord.
In the past few months, Yun Xiyue and Mo Zetian have traveled far and wide, from the depths of the vast land to the secluded islands, from the treacherous valleys to the spiritually rich ancient forests. Along the way, they encountered all kinds of cultivators and experienced various thrilling trials.
Once, they entered a place known as the "Misty Forest," which was said to be shrouded in thick fog all year round, and many cultivators who entered never returned. Undeterred, Yun Xiyue and Mo Zetian decided to explore the truth.
"This misty forest is truly as famous as they say." Yun Xiyue Shortly after entering the forest, the surroundings became extremely blurry, as if everything was shrouded in an opaque veil.
Mo Zetian responded lightly, "Be mindful of your steps, don't let this mist cloud your judgment." The implication was not only a warning about the mist, but also a reminder to her.
They walked through the forest, every step cautious. Suddenly, a huge shadow attacked from the mist at an astonishing speed. Almost instinctively, they drew their swords to counterattack. Back to back, they faced this sudden assault.
"It's the Misty Phantom Beast!" Yun Xiyue exclaimed, a glint of surprise in their eyes. This extremely rare spirit beast has the ability to conceal itself in the mist, making it an excellent resource for cultivation.
Mo Zetian Stay calm and face it. His swordsmanship is wild and direct, each sword carrying the force of thunder, contrasting sharply with Yun Xiyue's swordsmanship. For a moment, the swords flashed, and the mist was filled with the breath of the two.
After a fierce battle, the misty mythical beast was finally defeated. Yun Xiyue wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, somewhat out of breath, "I really opened my eyes this time. I never thought there would be such a spiritual beast in this world."
Mo Zetian responded calmly with a slight nod, "The path of cultivating immortality is full of wonders. This is just the beginning."
Yun Xiyue cast an appreciative glance at him, then suddenly a mischievous look flashed in her eyes as she lightly poked Mo Zetian on the shoulder, "Can't you show a little more excitement, Mo Zetian? This is quite a significant gain, you know."
Mo Zetian turned to look at Yun Xiyue, a rare smile in his eyes. "If I travel with you, it will surely be a fruitful journey."
Upon hearing this, Yun Xiyue smiled even brighter, seemingly satisfied with Mo Zetian's response. Then her gaze became firm. "The road ahead is long, with many more dangers awaiting us. But no matter how difficult it may be, with you by my side, I have endless courage."
Mo Zetian nodded in agreement. They cleaned up the mess after the battle and continued on their journey.
During the journey, Yun Xiyue and Mo Zetian encountered various difficulties, including battles with other cultivators, solving the mysteries of the ancient forest, and even facing the test of inner demons. Every trial was successfully overcome with the strength of their unity.
The journey they have been on is not only a test of their strength, but also a purification of their souls.
On this day, they arrived at a place called "Xuanwu Abyss," where legend has it that the ancient Xuanwu True Spirit's power is hidden. It is said to be an excellent place for cultivating the body and enhancing internal strength.
Xuanwu Abyss is located in a remote mountain valley, surrounded by towering peaks like natural barriers, concealing the entrance paths. The valley is filled with murmuring streams, creating a melodious water sound, and the air is filled with a faint mist and abundant spiritual energy.
Yun Xiyue and Mo Zetian stepped into the valley, feeling as if they had entered a mysterious and unpredictable world. The scenery in the valley is completely different from the outside world, with every plant emitting a brilliant light, as if every leaf contains extraordinary power.
"The spiritual energy here is really rich." Yun Xiyue Taking a deep breath, it seems that the true energy in the body has become more active.
Mo Zetian Nodding, looking around vigilantly, said, "This Xuanwu Abyss is not easily accessible to anyone. It is said that there are many strange mechanisms and dangerous beasts inside. We must be careful."
They continued deeper and soon arrived at a huge stone gate. Ancient inscrutable runes were carved on the stone gate, seemingly recording the secret of its opening, yet appearing particularly mysterious.
Yun Xiyue approached and carefully observed the runes, whispering, "These seem to be the ancient Xuanwu mantras, requiring a specific method to activate." She extended her delicate jade hand and, following the mysterious method she had grasped in her mind, gently pressed it.
Suddenly, the runes on the stone gate emitted a faint light, and then the stone gate slowly opened, revealing a deep passage in front of them. At the end of the passage, a brilliant light shimmered, as if summoning them.
Mo Zetian glanced at Yun Xiyue and a hint of appreciation appeared in his eyes. He knew that without Yun Xiyue's profound understanding of ancient texts, they would not be able to enter the core area of Xuanwu Abyss so easily.
As the two stepped into the passage, the stone door behind them closed quietly, leaving them no choice but to move forward. The passage was not long, and soon they reached the end. Before them lay a wide underground cave, with a huge pool in the center. The water in the pool was clear and transparent, emitting a faint blue light. Countless spirit stones were scattered around, exuding a refreshing spiritual energy.
"This is the legendary Xuanwu True Spirit pool," exclaimed Yun Xiyue with delight. The pool not only contained abundant spiritual energy but also held the essence of the ancient Xuanwu True Spirit, which would greatly benefit their cultivation.
Mo Zetian frowned slightly, sensing that there was a hidden powerful force deep in the pool. He cautioned, "Be careful. Although the spiritual energy here is abundant, it is not without danger. We should investigate thoroughly first."
Yun Xiyue nodded in agreement. So, the two began to search for further clues in the cave. They quickly discovered a smooth stone wall on one side of the pool, with an ancient mural depicting a majestic Xuanwu beast, using its formidable power to protect the peace of the immortal realm.
As they were examining the murals closely, suddenly, there was a slight ripple in the water pool, and then a strong suction pulled the two of them into the water.
Under the water pool, there was a different scene altogether. A dazzling underwater passage unfolded before them, and at the end of the passage, a bright gate slowly opened. Through the gate, they saw a radiant, enormous cave with a massive glowing sphere suspended in the center. Inside the sphere seemed to contain endless energy, emitting a light that was impossible to look directly at.
Yun Xiyue and Mo Zetian looked at each other, both seeing surprise and determination in each other's eyes. The two of them held hands and walked through the light gate, arriving in this mysterious space.
As they arrived, a strong light suddenly burst from the center of the light sphere, then slowly condensed into a vague figure. The figure gradually became clear, revealing a majestic figure in ancient armor, holding a long spear - it was the ancient legendary Xuanwu True Spirit.
Xuanwu True Spirit's voice is steady and powerful, resonating throughout the entire space: "Practitioners, your ability to come here proves your courage and determination. I am Xuanwu, guarding this secret realm for thousands of years. Are you willing to accept my trial and prove your strength and perseverance?"
Yun Xiyue nods firmly, with an unwavering determination in their eyes: "We are willing."
Mo Zetian also looked serious, as if carrying a heavy determination on their shoulders: "We are ready."
Xuanwu True Spirit nodded, then waved their hand, and the entire space suddenly became unpredictable, with powerful energy fluctuations surging everywhere. Yun Xiyue and Mo Zetian found themselves in a trial ground composed of pure energy, with countless energy waves rushing towards them like tidal waves.
The trial has begun.
Yun Xiyue waved the Orchid Shadow Sword, the sword light cascading like a waterfall, cutting through wave after wave of energy waves. Meanwhile, Mo Zetian used the unparalleled sword energy of the Heavenly Ink Sword, fighting side by side with her. The two of them demonstrated perfect coordination and strength in this moment.
As the trial deepened, the challenges they faced grew increasingly difficult, but the two of them fought more bravely, constantly pushing their limits. Finally, after an energy eruption stronger than any before, everything returned to calm.
The figure of Xuanwu True Spirit appeared before them once again, this time with a look of approval and amazement in his eyes. "Well done, you have proven your bravery and perseverance. You have passed this trial. Here, you will be granted true power as a reward for your efforts."
As the voice of Xuanwu True Spirit fell, the light of the long spear in his hand shone brightly, then turned into a stream of light, shooting towards Yun Xiyue and Mo Zetian. The two of them felt a strong and gentle force entering their bodies, not only enhancing their cultivation, but also purifying their minds and deepening their understanding of the path of cultivation.
Xuanwu True Spirit continued, "From now on, you will encounter more tribulations, but at the same time, there will be more opportunities. Remember, true power comes from the perseverance and relentless pursuit of the heart. I hope that you can maintain your original intention and move forward bravely on the path of cultivation."
After speaking, the figure of Xuanwu True Spirit gradually became blurry, eventually turning into a beam of light and dissipating into the air. What remained was a mysterious space filled with spiritual energy, and standing within it were Yun Xiyue and Mo Zetian.
Yun Xiyue took a deep breath, determination filling their eyes: "It seems that our cultivation has only just begun."
Mo Zetian Looking at her, there was a different light in her eyes: "Let's encourage each other."
The two of them left this mysterious space and returned to the entrance of Xuanwu Abyss. After this trial, not only did their individual cultivation make a qualitative leap, but more importantly, they gained a clearer understanding of the path of cultivation.
When they stepped out of the Xuanwu Abyss once again, they were greeted by a bright sky.
After returning from Xuanwu Abyss, Yun Xiyue, and Mo Zetian continued to explore, searching for more secret realms to gain experience. Each experience made them stronger. At the same time, they were constantly searching for clues about the Abyss Lord, preparing for their confrontation with him.
