At this moment, the figure slowly spoke: "Little girl, don't be nervous, I have been waiting here for a long time."

Mu Li frowned: "Wait for me? Who are you?"

The figure slowly approached, and the fog gradually dissipated. Mu Li could then see clearly that it was an old man in ancient costume.

The old man smiled slightly and said, "I am the guardian of this space. It must be fate that brought you here."

Mu Li asked in confusion, "Guardian? What is this place? Why is my dimension connected to this place?"

The old man stroked his beard and said, "This is a mysterious space. It is connected to the space of your spirit bracelet. It is fate's arrangement."

Mu Li was half-believing and half-doubting: "Is it fate? Then why are you waiting for me?"

The old man's expression grew serious. "There is a treasure in this secret space that can greatly increase the strength of you and your companions, but it also comes with great danger."

Mu Li's eyes lit up: "Treasure? What treasure?"

The old man shook his head. "You'll need to find out for yourself what it is. But I must warn you that the journey is fraught with danger. If you're not careful, you'll find yourself in a place of no return."

"Then you'd better send me back! My family will be worried if I go back too late!" Mu Li gave up on the spot when she heard it was so dangerous. Nothing was more important than her life.

"I'm afraid not. This is a test for you. If you pass it, you will not only get the treasure, but also be able to come and go freely. If you fail, you will probably have to stay here!" said the old man seriously.

"What?" Mu Li gritted her teeth and said, "Okay, okay, so that's how we play, huh? I'm not afraid! I can get through any den, even a dangerous one!"

The old man looked at her with admiration and said, "Well, since you are so determined, then go ahead. Remember, be careful."

After saying this, the old man's figure gradually disappeared.

Mu Li took a deep breath, cursing in her heart as she walked towards the depths of the fog.

As she walked, she suddenly felt a strong pressure, as if a pair of invisible hands were squeezing her.

"What's going on?" Mu Li tried hard to resist the pressure.

Mu Li took difficult steps, each step forward requiring immense effort. Just when she was about to collapse, the pressure suddenly disappeared.

She was gasping for breath, and before she could recover, several huge pythons suddenly jumped out of the fog around her, spitting out their tongues and pounced towards her.

"Not good!" Mu Li quickly cast a spell, and rays of light flew out from her hands and hit the python.

The python dodged the attacks nimbly and kept getting closer to Mu Li.

Mu Li thought to herself that something was wrong. She retreated while thinking about a countermeasure.

At this moment, the voice of the little phoenix sounded in her mind: "Master, attack them with fire!"

Upon hearing this, Mu Li immediately summoned flames and burned the python.

The pythons seemed to be afraid of the fire and retreated.

Mu Li took the opportunity to continue moving forward. After walking for an unknown amount of time, she finally walked out of the foggy area.

An ancient palace appeared before my eyes, with its gates tightly closed.

Mu Li walked forward and gently pushed the palace gate, but found that it did not move at all.

"How do I get in?" She looked around for the entrance.

At this moment, a line of words appeared above the palace gate: "Sincere heart brings success."

Mu Li pondered the meaning of these four words. Did they mean that she should be sincere?

She closed her eyes, thought of her loved ones, and prayed silently in her heart, hoping that they would be healthy, safe, and happy!

After a long time, when she opened her eyes again, the palace gate slowly opened.

Mu Li walked in cautiously. The palace was filled with a mysterious atmosphere.

Suddenly, a voice echoed in the palace: "To obtain the treasure, you must pass three tests."

Mu Li took a deep breath: "Come on, I'm not afraid!"

The first test is an illusion. Mu Li must defeat her inner demons to break out of the illusion.

As soon as she entered the fantasy world, she saw a war between the three realms of gods, demons and monsters. Everywhere there was devastation, the underworld was in turmoil, and lonely ghosts were rampant in the world of the living...

Mu Li told herself in her heart that this was not true, but the faint pain in her heart reminded her that this had really existed!

"Master, close your eyes and don't think about anything!" The voice of the little white fox sounded in his mind.

Upon hearing this, Mu Li quietly closed her eyes and emptied her mind. After an unknown amount of time, she found a vast starry sky in front of her eyes. It was so beautiful. Mu Li forgot the sorrow and the test, and happily explored and traveled.

"This..." The old man in the dark was so shocked that he couldn't speak. "This child actually comprehended the power of the stars!"

When Mu Li opened her eyes again, it was three days later. After seeing the prompt that she had passed the first level of the test, Mu Li faced the second test.

The second test is to solve a complex puzzle.

Mu Li racked her brains and finally found the answer.

The final test is a battle with a powerful guardian.

Mu Li did not flinch and engaged in a fierce battle with the Guardian.

After a hard fight, she finally defeated the guardian.

"Congratulations, you've passed the test." The voice sounded again, and a treasure shining with light appeared in front of Mu Li.

Mu Li picked up the treasure and felt a powerful force surging into her body.

Just as Mu Li was feeling the power of the treasure, the mysterious voice sounded again: "Although this treasure is powerful, it must be used with caution, otherwise it will bring unpredictable consequences."

Mu Li nodded solemnly: "I understand."

Just as she was about to leave, she found that the scene around her changed instantly and she was in an unfamiliar place again.
