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

Chapter 306

This power was like a nimble dragon from ancient times, its body shimmering with radiant spiritual energy, soaring and dancing freely in the sky.

Each tail swing stirs up ripples of spiritual energy, tearing through the void and creating a relatively safe passage.

Around the passage, the space was slightly distorted, and spiritual energy intertwined like threads, shimmering with multicolored light. Gu Shihan and Xingbai cooperated perfectly, understanding each other's intentions with just a glance.

Gu Shihan unleashed a fierce sword aura with her longsword, while Xing Bai manipulated a spiritual energy shield to protect the three of them.

With their close cooperation, the three—Gu Shihan, Xingbai, and Yutong—skillfully dodged the hidden weapons shooting from all directions, sidestepped the spikes that suddenly protruded from the ground, and passed through numerous traps and obstacles without any major dangers, gradually penetrating deeper into the core area of ​​the ruins.

Upon entering the core area, an ancient and mysterious aura immediately greets you.

"Hanhan, look what that is!" Xingbai, with her sharp eyes, pointed to the stone platform in front of her and said eagerly.

"Sister, it's a book!" Yu Tong jumped up excitedly, her eyes sparkling with curiosity.

It was indeed a book, an ancient classic lying quietly in the very center of the stone platform, clearly something extraordinary.

This book looks very old; the cover is yellowed and damaged, and there are traces of insect damage on the corners. The pages have also become fragile and easily broken due to the passage of time, as if they would turn to dust with the slightest touch.

What's even more perplexing is that the text in the classics is winding, obscure, and difficult to understand, with a mysterious force flowing between the strokes, like some kind of mysterious code.

"What kind of characters are these? They're crooked and don't even look like runes!" Yu Tong leaned closer to Gu Shihan, glanced at them a few times, muttered to herself, and walked away. She was really impatient with this.

Gu Shihan simply smiled, calmed down, and carefully recalled the various ancient texts that Fairy Qingchen had taught her in the past.

The ancient script comparison chart that Fairy Qingchen had given her was still imprinted in her mind. She compared it character by character, and after some effort, she managed to decipher some important content in this ancient book...

"Hanhan, did you understand?" Xingbai looked at Gu Shihan, her eyes full of expectation.

"Yes, I understand the general idea. The book records that this dark power originated from the remnant soul of an ancient demon god. Before he was sealed, he laid out various conspiracies and backup plans, attempting to make a comeback after ten thousand years and rule the entire immortal realm." Gu Shihan said with a furrowed brow and a solemn expression.

"No wonder the Immortal Realm suddenly declined; it turns out this demon god was behind it all," Xingbai said through gritted teeth, his clenched fist trembling slightly with anger.

"Sister, what should we do?" Yu Tong asked anxiously, her eyes filled with worry and helplessness.

Xingbai pondered for a moment and said, "Now that we know the source, let's try to find the place where the remnant soul of the demon god is sealed. Perhaps we can find a way to break the seal there."

"That's right. I'll leave the information I've gathered here, and we'll follow the clues." Gu Shihan said as she relayed the message, then embarked on her journey to find the sealed land with Xingbai and Yutong.

Along the way, the three of them faced numerous hardships and perilous situations. They traversed scorching volcanic areas, with boiling lava beneath their feet that could erupt and engulf them at any moment; they also stepped into frigid glacial snowfields, where the biting wind cut like a knife across their faces, and a slight misstep could result in being frozen solid.

Not only must they face a harsh natural environment, but they must also resist the pursuit of dark forces. These dark forces manifest as various forms of monsters, some lurking in the shadows, launching attacks when people are off guard; others swarm in groups, baring their fangs and claws as they pounce.

Several people were hurrying along when a seemingly calm swamp appeared not far ahead.

They stopped and carefully observed the swamp. Although it was muddy, it didn't seem too dangerous, so they began to cross it.

However, something unexpected happened. When they reached the center of the swamp, the ground suddenly became incredibly soft, and the group of people, caught off guard, sank into the deep mud.

The thick mud quickly submerged their ankles and knees, and the more they struggled, the faster they sank.

Worse still, as they sank deeper, their surroundings began to change. From all directions, dark figures emerged from the once tranquil swamp – a group of ferocious-looking monsters radiating an evil aura!

These monsters came in all shapes and sizes; some had twisted limbs, while others had enormous heads with mouths full of sharp fangs, emitting terrifying roars.

"Hanhan, something bad has happened! We've been tricked by those guys!" Xingbai muttered a complaint, her face full of panic.

"Xingbai, what time is it? Stop babbling on and on and get started!" Yutong shouted anxiously from the side, her voice trembling slightly with tension.

"Alright! In that case, let's fight these monsters!" Xingbai gritted his teeth, gripped his weapon tightly, and prepared to meet the enemy.

“That’s right! Xingbai, let’s work together to take care of these monsters first. Yutong, this swamp is up to you. You must find a way to burn a path with fire magic so we can escape!” Gu Shihan ordered loudly, her eyes firm and calm.

The three of them immediately sprang into action. Xingbai and Gu Shihan brandished their weapons and engaged in a fierce battle with the monster that pounced on them.

Xingbai's sword strikes were fierce, each swing unleashing a burst of sword energy that repelled approaching monsters; Gu Shihan, on the other hand, displayed exquisite swordsmanship, her movements agile as she weaved freely through the monster horde, her longsword thrusting out to precisely strike the monsters' vital points.

Yu Tong focused her attention on casting fire magic. She quickly formed hand seals and chanted incantations, gathering a ball of blazing flame in her palms. Then, she thrust it out, and the flame spread across the swamp like a surging tide, attempting to create a safe passage through the swamp.

In an instant, swords clashed, sparks flew, and shouts of battle rose and fell. Fortunately, Gu Shihan had many tricks up her sleeve and managed to kill all the invading monsters.

On this day, Gu Shihan found the place where the remnant soul of the demon god was sealed—Black Stone Canyon.

Black Rock Canyon is hidden deep within the Black Rock Mountains, like a mysterious and dangerous rift, quietly concealed in the depths of this vast mountain forest.

The mountain range is filled with jagged rocks and steep peaks that pierce the clouds. Thick fog permeates the mountains and never dissipates.

Legend has it that the remnant soul of the demon god, which terrifies the world, is sealed within this valley.

As time has passed, Black Rock Canyon is now shrouded in a thick, inky black fog, and the entire valley is immersed in a gloomy and terrifying atmosphere.
