Cultivating immortality relies on spatial abilities; defying fate to become the protagonist.

Chapter 217

Here, Gu Shihan also relies on time arrays to cultivate. Although the flow of time in space is more conducive to cultivation, there is currently no dark spiritual energy space.

After an unknown amount of time, Gu Shihan awoke from her cultivation and, upon examining her dantian, was pleasantly surprised to find that her dark spiritual root had grown considerably.

"Huh! The Light Spirit Root seems different too? It seems to have grown quite a bit as well. Xingbai, what's going on?"

"Hanhan, you mainly absorb dark spiritual energy here, but light spiritual energy also exists. The two are both opposed and interdependent, only the primary and secondary ones are different. Of course, light spiritual roots will also grow."

"Okay, I understand. It seems I've reached my limit in absorbing dark spiritual energy. It's time to end this seclusion! I wonder how my senior brothers are doing with their cultivation?" Gu Shihan walked out of the seclusion area.

The sight before her astonished her. The land, once ravaged by darkness, had been transformed, radiating unprecedented vitality. The plants, their black hue fading to a pale green, seemed to have softened considerably, and the thick fog appeared much fresher. Could it be due to the weakening of dark spiritual energy?
Just as she was wondering, Xingbai's voice came over. He said arrogantly, "Hanhan, I put a few dark crystals into my space. The excess of dark spiritual energy here is entirely caused by the dark crystals. Now I've put a few of them into the Moon Bracelet, and the Moon Bracelet now contains dark spiritual energy. You can cultivate in the Moon Bracelet from now on."

Gu Shihan opened her eyes wide and asked uncertainly, "Xingbai, won't what you're doing affect this place? Will it disrupt its balance?"

"There will definitely be an impact, but it's not a bad thing! Too much dark crystal will nourish dark species, fostering violence and bloodshed, like those evil creatures! As long as balance is achieved here, everything will return to normal. I am doing this to save this world."

Gu Shihan seemed to be thinking about something, and nodded, saying, "That's good. Let's go see my elder brother and the others. I wonder how their cultivation is going?"

Before she could take a single step, a melodious flute tune drifted from afar, and in the blink of an eye, a woman dressed in white slowly approached. Her aura was extraordinary, as if she did not belong to this world.

"Senior, is that you?" Gu Shihan stepped forward and asked in surprise.

The woman smiled slightly, her eyes filled with tenderness, and her clear, pleasant voice rang out: "Hmm! I am Fairy Lingyue. I was right about you last time; you were all excellent! I already know what happened here, so I came to investigate. Hmm, you absorbed the Black Crystal Gold? Do you now possess a Dark Spiritual Root?"

With a flick of her sleeve, the female cultivator placed her hand on Gu Shihan's wrist, a smile flashing across her face: "Very good! Since that's the case, then I'll lend you a hand! I'll help you better integrate it!" As she spoke, she conjured a pill and handed it to Gu Shihan, "This pill can help you completely integrate the power of light and darkness and stabilize your realm."

Gu Shihan looked at the female cultivator and bowed respectfully: "Fairy, thank you for your generous gift. Is there anything I can do for you?"

"Yes! Take the pill first!"

"Yes!" Gu Shihan did not hesitate much, took the pill and swallowed it, and immediately felt the power in her body become more harmonious.

With a wave of her hand, Lingyue Immortal brought Mo Yu and the others to her presence.

The female cultivator in white looked at everyone and said, "Let me introduce myself. I am Fairy Lingyue, and I have been guarding the Misty Forest for a long time."

This misty forest has been abnormal for ten thousand years, and I have tried to find someone to restore it, but the destined person has never appeared.

The changes in the Misty Forest are becoming increasingly obvious, but I am merely a wisp of divine soul, making it difficult to intervene. I can only rely on the local cultivators. Fortunately, I encountered you before I dissipated. "Senior, are you saying that the changes in the Misty Forest are related to the seal?" Gu Shihan asked.

"Yes! That's the main reason. This area of ​​100,000 miles is being eroded by it, and if we don't stop it, the consequences will be unimaginable. Fortunately, you've arrived," the white-robed female cultivator explained.

"Senior, now that the seal has been reinforced, are we safe?" Situ Tinglang asked.

The female cultivator sighed and said, "Alas, the seal began to have problems two thousand years ago. The changes in the Misty Forest foreshadow an even greater crisis to come. Although the seal has been reinforced, the dark seeds that have been released over the years have eroded this continent. You must go to the Heavenly Mountains as soon as possible to find the Holy Spring Water in order to deal with the upcoming crisis."

"Senior, why did you choose us?" Situ Tinglang bowed and asked again, feeling that his group's arrival was unusual.

The female cultivator smiled faintly and said slowly, "Why? Perhaps it is fate. Your arrival is already an incredible thing, coupled with the appearance of the Radiant Treasure and the reappearance of meritorious cultivators. It can be said that this is your opportunity and your responsibility!"

Gu Shihan and the others felt a sudden jolt. They had thought about these questions before, and now it seemed to have been confirmed.

Seeing the expressions on their faces, the female cultivator waved her hand, and several jade pendants appeared in front of Gu Shihan and the others. "I have a few protective jade artifacts here, one for each of you. They will automatically activate when you encounter dire situations and protect you three times. After three times, they will automatically lose their effect. You will need to explore their other functions yourself. Those require fate; only those with the right fate can activate their additional functions."

Gu Shihan and the other nine didn't stand on ceremony. They reached out and took the jade pendants in front of them, dripped blood to bind them to their owners, and put them on.

Gu Shihan bowed and said, "Thank you for your generous gift, Senior. We...we will certainly live up to your expectations. However, we do not know the location of Tianshan Mountain, so how do we get there?!"

The female cultivator looked up at the sky, frowned, and said, "I don't know where this Heavenly Mountain is. There is a map here, but as for how to find it, that's for you to discover. However, there is one thing we can rely on, and that is the Light Magic Treasure. As long as you get within a thousand miles of that Holy Spirit, the Light Magic Treasure will sense it."

The disappearance of the magical artifacts of light is also the main reason why no one has been able to find the Spring of Holy Spirits for so many years.

"Go! I am merely descending to the mortal realm in spirit, and I must return to the divine realm. Everything is entrusted to you. Finally, I will open your Heavenly Eyes for you, which can see through most illusions in the world!" The Fairy Lingyue raised her hand, and nine points of white light fell into the brows of the nine people.

"Thank you, senior!" Everyone immediately felt their senses sharpen and their spirits lighten.

Looking up again, the fairy was nowhere to be seen. "Shi Han, have we received an incredible opportunity?!" Duan Siqi exclaimed in surprise.

“Indeed, we are really lucky. This Senior Lingyue is from the Divine Realm. She is a goddess, a real goddess!” Nangong Yi said with a smile.

After chatting for a while, they shared their cultivation experiences and discussed how to leave the Misty Forest and find the Holy Water.
