In the days that followed, Xu Ruyu, relying on her familiarity with the mountain terrain and her own abilities, skillfully led Chu Chenxiao and the others to evade wave after wave of men in black, and continued to study the symbols on the jade pendant and the clues in the diary.
As time went by, the tacit understanding between the group gradually increased, and Chu Chenxiao unknowingly developed a special sense of dependence on this man who shared the same name and appearance as her lover.
This dependence stemmed not only from the help he provided during her difficulties, but also from a sense of comfort that brought her warmth and security in this strange and dangerous world.
Meanwhile, in the Ruifeng Dynasty, Ning Ci, Yin Yuyao, and Yuwen Li, in their fierce battles with the experts of the ancient family, gradually discovered a shocking secret hidden behind the seal guarded by this family—it seemed that a dark force was attempting to use the sealed object to achieve the evil purpose of controlling the entire spacetime.
To prevent all of this from happening, they decided to venture deep into the family's forbidden area to find the core of the seal, even if the path ahead was fraught with thorns and dangers.
After tireless efforts, Chu Qiaoling and others from the Jinglan Dynasty finally found the key clues about the secret chamber's token in the ancient royal documents.
It turns out that the token was divided into several parts, each hidden in a different secret corner of the palace, and these corners were all closely connected with some mysterious legends about the royal ancestors.
They embarked on a thrilling treasure hunt based on clues, but every step was fraught with unknown dangers and challenges. They not only had to contend with the complex power struggles within the palace, but also solve the mysteries of various ancient mechanisms. A single misstep could lead to the loss of all their previous efforts.
On the Zhaoxi Dynasty side, as the research on the jade pendant and diary deepened, Xu Ruyu discovered some new clues that seemed to point to a mysterious cave located deep in the mountains.
Legend has it that this cave was the place where an immortal cultivated in ancient times, and it may contain important information related to the Chaos Pearl.
Led by Xu Ruyu, Chu Chenxiao and the others headed towards the cave.
Along the way, they supported each other and overcame numerous difficulties and obstacles together.
When they finally arrived at the cave entrance, they found it filled with a mysterious and eerie atmosphere, as if telling the story of the vicissitudes of time and unknown dangers.
After a short rest, the four continued their exploration of the ruins.
They walked along a narrow passage, the walls shimmering with an eerie light, as if telling the story of what had happened here.
Suddenly, a huge stone gate appeared in front of them, covered with mysterious runes and patterns.
Xu Ruyu stepped forward and carefully examined the runes on the stone gate, her brows furrowed as if she were pondering something.
Chu Chenxiao and the others also gathered around, their eyes revealing anticipation and curiosity.
“These runes seem to be an ancient seal that requires a specific method to open,” Xu Ruyu said.
He reached out and gently touched the runes on the stone gate, feeling the power contained within them.
Just then, the stone gate suddenly emitted a dazzling light, and a figure faintly appeared within the light.
The figure gradually became clearer, and it turned out to be the old man on the Five Virtues Road.
The old man had a kind face, but his eyes revealed a sense of authority and mystery.
"Who are you? Why have you trespassed here?" The old man's voice echoed in the air, carrying an unquestionable tone.
Chu Chenxiao and Ning Yuyuan were startled. Could this old man not be that person? Could he also be like "Xu Ruyu," with the same face but not actually the same person?
The two men, who had just relaxed, became anxious again and became wary of the old man.
Xi Xi had never met the old man, so she naturally didn't know that Chen Xiao and the others also knew him, but she had seen a record of the old man's face in the main god's records.
This old man is from the Yuan Realm!
She met the old man's gaze, and he smiled slightly. However, upon noticing the gazes of Chen Xiao and the others, he suppressed his smile.
Xu Ruyu stepped forward and said respectfully, "We juniors did not mean to trespass into this place. We only came here because we were looking for clues about the Chaos Spirit Pearl. We hope that you will forgive us, senior."
The old man nodded slightly, his gaze sweeping over everyone before finally settling on Xu Ruyu.
"The Chaos Spirit Pearl? Do you know how powerful this spirit pearl is? If it falls into the hands of evil people, it will surely bring disaster to the world."
"We juniors are well aware of the importance of the Spirit Pearl. We have come here to prevent its misuse and to protect the peace of the world," Xu Ruyu said firmly.
The old man stared at Xu Ruyu, seemingly trying to determine the truthfulness of his words.
After a long while, the old man slowly said, "Very well, since you are so determined, then I will lend you a hand. The seal on this stone gate needs to be activated by your internal strength and special abilities to be opened."
Upon hearing this, everyone followed the old man's instructions and focused their inner energy on the stone gate.
Xi Xi also used her special abilities to inject them into the stone gate.
Suddenly, the stone gate shone brightly, and runes flashed incessantly.
With a loud bang, the stone door slowly opened, and a powerful force surged out from inside, enveloping everyone.
When the light faded, they found themselves in a huge palace.
In the center of the hall stood a stone platform, upon which rested a box that emitted light.
“That box must contain the Chaos Spirit Pearl,” Xu Ruyu said.
Chu Chenxiao was somewhat surprised. Wasn't the Chaos Spirit Pearl used on Chu Yanxi?
Xi Xi, the only one in the know, remained expressionless and walked naturally toward the stone platform.
