As the team delved deeper into the path revealed by the crystal ball, they discovered a series of ancient mechanisms and puzzles, each requiring their collective cooperation and wisdom to solve. The combined skill of Chu Yun and Lei Ling, the thunderstorm, proved crucial in this process, as she was able to activate the energy source of certain ancient devices with the power of lightning.
After successfully solving a puzzle, a hidden passage slowly opened before them, revealing a dark staircase leading downward. The team carefully descended the stairs, the air filled with dampness and the ancient scent, while the stone carvings on the walls seemed to silently tell the story of into the past.
Liu Qing took the lead, holding the Dragon Soul Sword to light the way ahead. "We need to stay vigilant; these ancient places often conceal unknown dangers," his voice echoed in the empty passage, adding a touch of mystery and gravity.
They eventually arrived at a spacious underground hall, with a massive stone platform at its center, adorned with peculiar symbols and patterns. On the central platform lay a heavy, ancient book, its pages emitting a faint glow.
Fang Yi couldn't wait to step forward and gently flip open the ancient book. "This ancient book records the history of this Phantom Castle and the powerful magic that guards it. It seems that this city is not just an ordinary ancient city; it was once the heart of a powerful magic empire."
The team gathered around the stone platform, listening to Fang Yi as he read out the history. As more secrets were revealed, they learned that this city had been sealed due to a catastrophic magical experiment, becoming the Phantom Ancient City in the eyes of the people.
Xiao Zhe delicately took out what seemed to be an ordinary stone from the niche beside the stone platform, but it shimmered with a light similar to the Philosopher's stone. "This might be a key, perhaps it can help us completely unlock the seal of this city."
Chu Yun tightly held the Heavenly Illusion Pearl in her hand, a hint of determination flashed in her eyes. Immediately, she and Lei Ling once again unleashed a thunderstorm, not to attack, but to channel the power of lightning into the runic symbols on the stone platform.
With the infusion of lightning power, the entire underground hall began to tremble. The runes on the stone platform and the words in the ancient books seemed to be activated, emitting a dazzling light. A beam of light shot from the stone platform towards the dome of the underground hall, causing it to slowly split open, revealing an unknown sky. This spectacle not only astonished the team but also indicated that they were close to uncovering the core of all the secrets of the Phantom Castle.
Liang Xiao tightly gripped the Dragon Soul Sword, vigilantly observing his surroundings to ensure that no unexpected guests or unknown threats disrupted the process at this critical moment. His gaze was firm, ready to respond to any potential situation that might arise.
As the brightness of the light beam increases, an ancient voice echoes in the hall, as if coming from a distant place, yet incredibly clear: "Brave travelers, you have awakened the heartbeat of this city. But to fully harness its power, you must pass the final trial."
Chu Yun takes a step forward, her voice loud and clear: "We are ready to accept any trial. Please tell us how to proceed next."
Immediately, at the other end of the hall, a huge stone statue slowly rose, carved with the image of an ancient warrior holding dual swords, with a challenging look in his eyes. The voice of the stone statue resounded: "Prove your courage and wisdom. Defeat me, and you will gain all the secrets and power of this city."
Fang Yi quickly flipped through the ancient books in his hand, trying to find any information that could help them defeat the stone statue. Meanwhile, Yun Xiang began adjusting his Xianyin Qin, preparing to use the power of music to influence specific frequencies that might resonate with the stone statue.
Xiao Zhe used his keen speed to explore the battlefield and search for the weak points of the stone statues. His movements were agile and cautious, calculating the direction of the wind and changes in the terrain with each step.
As the preparations for the battle slowly began, each team member took their position. Liu Qing and Liang Xiao stood at the front, their dual swords and the Dragon Soul Sword gleaming with a cold light, ready to face the impending battle.
The entire hall was filled with a tense and anticipatory atmosphere. The team knew that if they could pass this trial, they would be able to uncover all the mysteries, and perhaps even gain unimaginable power.
As the team entered the depths of the Phantom Ancient City, a gloomy mist greeted them, and the lanterns on the city walls emitted flickering light, casting eerie shadows. Chu Yun gripped the Thunderstone, sensing the hidden magical fluctuations in the surrounding environment.
Fang Yi flipped through the ancient books in hand, searching for clues that might unlock the mystery of the illusion, while Liu Qing remained vigilant, scanning the surroundings, ready to respond to any potential dangers at any moment.
Suddenly, a deep voice sounded in their ears, as if coming from nowhere: "Who goes there, daring to disturb the silence of this ancient city?"
Chu Yun took a step forward and replied loudly, "We are travelers seeking truth and knowledge. Please tell us, how can we prove our sincerity?"
The voice fell silent for a moment, then the surrounding scenery began to change. Several buildings gradually revealed their true appearance, while others continued to flicker with uncertain illusions.
"Your sincerity needs to be proven through three trials," the voice sounded again, this time with a hint of testing.
When the team ventured deep into the heart of the Phantom Ancient City, they encountered a massive stone wall covered with intricate symbols and carvings. These symbols were not only ancient but also mysterious, as if they were part of a long-lost language.
Fang Yi stepped forward to carefully study the carvings. He took out a tattered ancient book from his pocket, a repository of knowledge he had collected over the years about ancient civilizations. He quickly flipped through it, searching for the corresponding explanations for the symbols on the stone wall. "Each of these symbols represents an aspect of ancient power. To unlock this puzzle, we must correctly interpret the combinations of these symbols," Fang Yi explained quietly to his companions.
Xiao Zhe approached the stone wall, gently placing his hand on it and closing his eyes to feel the faint flow of air. His special ability allowed him to perceive subtle energy changes between each symbol. "These symbols... there is a flow of energy between them, like the wind, connecting each other." Xiao Zhe slowly moved his fingers, trying to find the source of this flow.
Fang Yi listened intently, his eyes lighting up as he quickly cross-referenced this information with the records in the ancient texts. "According to these ancient texts, when these symbols are activated in a specific sequence, it can unlock hidden mechanisms. Xiao Zhe, can you sense which symbols are the key?"
Xiao Zhe pointed out several particularly active symbols. Fang Yi followed Xiao Zhe's instructions and matched the sequence of these symbols with the descriptions in the ancient texts. "If my understanding is correct, we should activate this one first, then this one..." Fang Yi carefully touched the symbols in a certain order.
With the activation of each symbol, the symbols on the stone wall began to glow, and the light gradually intensified throughout the process, until finally, a bright light flashed, and a hidden passage slowly opened before them.
"Good job, we passed the first trial!" Chu Yun exclaimed excitedly, and everyone in the team had a relieved smile on their faces. They nodded to each other and then entered the newly opened passage, ready to face the next trial: the test of courage.
