After many hardships, the group finally passed through the misty mountains, and the ancient palace seen in the jade pendant appeared before them.
The palace was magnificent, yet exuded a mysterious and ancient atmosphere. The gates were closed, and the surroundings were silent.
Mo Xi walked forward and gently pushed the door, but it didn't move.
"This door is so heavy, there must be a mechanism." Xuan Yiheng said.
Everyone began to look for clues around the gate. Mu Li accidentally discovered that the light of the jade pendant was shining with a depression in the gate, so she picked up the jade pendant and put it into the depression. The jade pendant instantly burst out with a strong light, and the gate slowly opened. An old breath came to the face.
Walking into the palace, the light inside was dim and the walls were covered with strange runes.
"Everyone be careful." Xuan Sichen reminded.
Suddenly, the ground began to tremble, and a group of puppets emerged from all directions.
"These puppets look difficult to deal with." Xuan Qisheng said.
Everyone was engaged in battle again. The puppets moved in unison and had extremely strong attack power.
Mu Li cast a spell, trying to control the puppets, but found that they were unaffected by the spell.
Xuan Bayu fought bravely, but was accidentally hit by a puppet and fell to the ground.
"Eighth Junior Brother!" Xuan Wuyuan hurriedly helped him up.
After a hard fight, everyone finally defeated all the puppets.
"This palace is full of weirdness. I wonder what dangers are waiting for us." Xuan Liuyao said.
"No matter what, we must find the Chaos Pearl." Mu Li said firmly.
Everyone nodded and continued walking deeper into the palace.
Everyone walked carefully in the palace, but unknowingly walked into a maze.
The passages around are so complicated that it is hard to tell the direction.
"What should we do? We seem to be lost." Xuan Qisheng said anxiously.
Mu Li closed her eyes and tried to sense the fluctuations of spiritual energy around her to determine the direction, but she had no idea.
Mo Xi observed the marks on the wall and said, "Everyone calm down and see if you can find some patterns."
Everyone dispersed and took a closer look.
Xuan Yiheng discovered that some of the runes on the walls seemed to have a specific arrangement order.
"Maybe this is the clue to get out of the maze." Xuan Yiheng said.
Everyone followed the instructions of the runes and groped their way forward in the maze.
However, after walking for a long time, I found myself back to the original place.
"Did we understand it wrongly?" Xuan Sichen asked doubtfully.
Just when everyone felt desperate, Mu Li suddenly thought of something.
"We can't just look at the walls. Maybe there are mysteries in the floor tiles under our feet." Mu Li said.
Everyone looked down at the floor tiles and indeed found some unusual patterns.
After some research, I finally found the right way.
They emerged from the maze and arrived at a spacious hall. In the center of the hall stood a huge stone platform, upon which sat a box emitting a mysterious light.
"Could this be the Chaos Heart we are looking for?" Xuan Bayu said excitedly.
Just as everyone was about to go forward to check, a figure suddenly appeared beside the stone platform.
This is a mysterious guardian in a black robe, his face is covered by shadows and his features cannot be seen clearly.
"If you want to get the Chaos Heart, you have to get past me first." The Guardian's voice was low and hoarse.
Xuan Yiheng stepped forward, bowed, and said, "Senior, please show some mercy."
Without a word, the Guardian launched his attack. His spells were powerful and fierce, and everyone responded in a flurry.
Mo Xi and the guardian engaged in a fierce spell duel, and the sky was shining brightly for a while.
Mu Li was looking for the Guardian's flaws.
After a hard fight, the guardian's attacks became more fierce.
"This is not a solution. We must attack together." Xuan Sichen shouted.
Everyone obeyed the order, gathered their spiritual energy together, formed a powerful force, and attacked the guardian.
Seeing this, the guardian waved his hands and formed a shield to resist.
Finally, with everyone's concerted efforts, the guardian's shield was broken and his figure gradually disappeared.
"Finally defeated him." Xuan Qisheng sat down on the ground exhausted.
Everyone walked up to the stone platform and opened the box, only to see a bead emitting mysterious power inside.
"Why is it a bead?" Xuan Bayu asked curiously as he picked up the bead.
"Could this be the Chaos Pearl?" Xuan Qisheng exclaimed!
"What? We found it so easily?" Xuan Wuyuan said in disbelief.
At this moment, all the passages in the hall were suddenly closed and everyone was trapped in the maze.
"What's going on?"
"What happened? Why was the passage suddenly closed?" everyone exclaimed in shock.
"I'm afraid I moved something that shouldn't be moved!" Mo Xi's eyes fell on the beads in Xuan Bayu's hand.
"What do you mean? Isn't this the Chaos Pearl?" Xuan Bayu asked in confusion.
"This is not the Chaos Pearl!" Mu Li said affirmatively.
"Junior sister, why are you so sure?" Xuan Yiheng asked.
"Because the Heart of Chaos didn't sense it!" Mu Li said.
"What? Where is the Heart of Chaos?" Xuan Liuyao asked in surprise.
Mu Li pointed to her heart and said, "Here."
"Hiss..." Everyone from Xuanji Gate gasped and stood there in a daze.
"No wonder you said you would definitely find the Chaos Pearl. It turns out the Heart of Chaos is already within you!"
"Now that we are suddenly trapped here, how can we find the real Chaos Pearl?" Xuan Yiheng asked.
Everyone looked at each other and fell silent for a moment.
Mo Xi was the first to come to his senses and said, "Don't panic. Since we are trapped here, let's find another exit."
Everyone nodded and began to search around the hall.
Xuan Bayu held the fake bead, looking annoyed: "It's all my fault. I accidentally touched this thing and put everyone in trouble."
Mu Li comforted him, "Eighth Senior Brother, don't say that. Now is not the time to blame yourself."
Xuan Sichen looked at the wall carefully, trying to find some mechanism.
Xuan Wuyuan was groping on the ground to see if there was any secret passage.
Time passed minute by minute, but everyone got nothing.
"It's not a good idea to keep looking like this." Xuan Qisheng said.
Mu Li closed her eyes and once again mobilized the power of the Heart of Chaos, hoping to get some guidance.
Suddenly, an idea came to her: "Follow me."
Everyone followed Mu Li to a corner of the hall. She pointed at a seemingly ordinary floor tile and said, "There's something strange here."
Xuan Yiheng stepped hard, the floor tiles sank, and the wall next to it slowly opened, revealing a narrow passage.
"Great, there really is an exit here." Xuan Liuyao said excitedly.
"I'll go down first, you guys follow behind, everyone be careful." Xuan Yiheng said and entered the underground passage.
Everyone followed carefully into the passage, not knowing what was waiting for them ahead.
