"Young Master!"

Yun Yi looked serious, clasped his hands together, and bowed respectfully to Wu Ya.

But he spoke loudly, "The demons are now rampant, destroying lives and causing untold suffering for the people. I have been entrusted with this mission by the Human Emperor and have come a long way to find the legendary musical score that holds mysterious powers. If I can borrow it, I can use its power to resist the demons and save countless innocent lives from suffering."

As he spoke, Yun Yi took out a booklet with the seal of the Human Emperor from his pocket and presented it to Wu Ya.

Wu Ya's lips curled up slightly upon hearing this, and he casually reached out to brush the strands of hair that fell across his forehead, looking quite lazy. He took the booklet, glanced at the seal on it, and confirmed that it was indeed Xuanyuan Che's seal.

Then, he glanced at the young general in uniform, looking so heroic. He raised his eyebrows and said jokingly, "Oh? A rookie like you, you dare to get your hands on the most precious treasure of Wuyou Valley - the Wuyou Music Score? You're just dreaming!"

Yun Yi's expression instantly grew solemn, but his eyes gleamed with an incomparable determination. He straightened his body, looked at the man in white before him, who looked to be about his own age, and said solemnly, "I believe you are the renowned Master of Wuyou Valley—Senior Wuya, right?"

"Yun Yi knows that his talent and knowledge are limited and insignificant. However, for the future and destiny of the human race, and to save those innocent people who are suffering, Yun Yi is willing to risk his life and give it a try. I hope that the Valley Master can help me."

Upon hearing this, Wu Ya couldn't help but burst into laughter, his hearty laughter resounding through the valley, deafening. He waved his hand generously and said loudly, "Alright! Since you have such confidence and courage, I'd like to see what you can do. As long as you can break through the few formations I've set up, I will naturally lend you the Worry-Free Music Score."

Seeing that things were going smoothly, Yun Yi was overjoyed. He quickly bowed again and expressed his gratitude sincerely: "Thank you, Valley Master, for your generous help. Yun Yi will do his best and live up to your trust." Before he finished speaking, he was already on full alert and ready for battle.

Wuya's eyes flashed, and he put away his lazy posture and playful expression. He raised his bare hands lightly and then plucked the strings of the zither.

As the plaintive, gentle and melodious sound of the piano came from afar, Yun Yi keenly noticed that the scene around him had undergone a miraculous change. He knew very well that this must be the activation of the formation carefully arranged by Wu Ya.

The first thing that came into view was the dazzling, seamless sword formation! At a glance, countless sharp swords flashed with icy cold light, like a group of ferocious beasts choosing their prey. It seemed that the slightest mistake would result in death.

Just as Yun Yi raised his foot to take a step forward, a dense rain of swords, wave after wave higher than the other, poured down like a violent storm, rushing towards him with overwhelming force.

Yun Yi's movements were as fast as lightning, his body nimbly dodging left and right. Every movement was so thrilling that a slight mistake could lead to his downfall. However, he always managed to cleverly avoid those fatal attacks at the critical moment and break through the layers of obstacles set up by the sword formation without any danger.

Yun Yi then continued to stride forward without hesitation. Before long, a majestic, towering mountain appeared before his eyes.

The mountain stood tall, piercing the sky. Its steep cliffs and deep, winding ravines intersected each other. A thick, heavy fog enveloped the entire summit, completely obscuring its true appearance. Faced with such a scene, Yun Yi couldn't help but feel a strong sense of vigilance.

At this moment, Yun Yi was seen holding tightly onto the protruding parts of the rock with both hands, and his feet were firmly planted on the places where he could get leverage. All the strength in his body was mobilized, and he was concentrating and moving upwards carefully little by little.

You have to know that this mountain is so high that it reaches the clouds, with cliffs thousands of feet high. Its steepness is beyond imagination. If you are not careful, you may be crushed to pieces! Therefore, even if it is just a small step up, you have to use all your strength!

However, even though it was extremely difficult and dangerous, Yun Yi encountered countless difficult problems and life-and-death dangerous situations during this long and arduous climbing journey.

But what is admirable is that in the face of these setbacks and tribulations, Yun Yi did not show any fear or retreat. Instead, he gritted his teeth and relied on his indomitable perseverance and unyielding will to continue to forge ahead and strive to climb.

Just like that, after several hours of persistent struggle, Yun Yi finally got his reward and successfully reached the top of the mountain he had dreamed of.

Standing on the top of the mountain and gazing into the distance, Yun Yi was stunned by the magnificent and charming scene. He saw a vast and boundless sea of ​​clouds. The sea of ​​clouds was like a vast ocean, rolling and surging, with no end in sight.

At the edge of this vast sea of ​​clouds, a mysterious ancient palace stood. The palace gate was tightly closed, and many strange rune patterns were carved on it.

Seeing this, Yun Yi couldn't help but feel an irresistible curiosity in his heart. He gently pushed open the door of the palace and walked in.

Yun Yi, trapped within the palace, felt the surroundings as if they were a dream. Here, he saw his mother, father, and relatives. Their faces were familiar and kind, but they were holding weapons, attacking him. Startled, Yun Yi dodged their attacks while trying to calm himself.

He knew it was the effect of the illusion array, that everything before him wasn't real. So, he pinched his thigh hard, forcing himself to concentrate and try to find a flaw in the array. He observed his surroundings and noticed that the runes on the wall were gleaming with a strange light.

Yun Yi's heart trembled. He wondered if these runes might be the key to breaking the formation. So, Yun Yi cautiously approached the wall, carefully observing the arrangement and changes of the runes. Suddenly, he discovered a pattern: the flashing of the runes seemed to be related to the rhythm of his heartbeat.

Yun Yi closed his eyes and adjusted his breathing and heartbeat to keep pace with the runes' flashing rhythm. Gradually, he felt the surrounding scene begin to blur, and the weapon's attack gradually faded.

When Yun Yi opened his eyes again, he found that he had walked out of the illusion array and came to an unfamiliar room.
