Everyone nodded in agreement. They knew that they were very close to the legendary mysterious power.

Old Zhang walked slowly towards the altar, his eyes sharp as a torch, carefully examining the intricate runes and mysterious patterns on the altar. He tried to decipher the deep meaning of these runes, hoping to find the key to obtaining that power. However, these runes were intricate and obscure, making it difficult for Old Zhang to comprehend the mystery for a while.

At this moment, a subtle sound quietly broke the silence on the top of the mountain. Everyone instantly became alert, holding their weapons tightly, and looking around sharply. Only to see a figure quietly walked out from the shadow behind the altar, with steady steps, slowly coming towards them.

The man was wearing a black robe, his face hidden under a silver mask, revealing only a pair of deep eyes. He exuded a powerful aura that made people's hearts flutter, as if everything in the world was under his control.

"Who are you? Why are you trespassing here?" The mysterious figure's voice was low and majestic, with unquestionable magic, echoing on the empty mountaintop.

Lao Zhang stepped forward, bowed, and said, "We are explorers who have come here to seek the mysterious power that can purify the evil in the world. May I ask if you know where this power is?"

Upon hearing this, the mysterious figure's eyes flashed with surprise: "You actually know the existence of this power? It is really rare. But this power is by no means easy to obtain. It can only be obtained through passing the test."

"Test?" Old Zhang looked puzzled.

The mysterious figure nodded slightly: "It is a test. Only those who are just and brave can pass the test and gain this supreme power. Are you willing to accept the test?"

Old Zhang turned around and looked at the crowd, only to see that their faces were filled with determination and fearlessness. So he nodded resolutely: "We are willing to accept the test!"

The mysterious figure smiled approvingly and nodded gently: "Very good! Then, the test will begin immediately!"

Everyone nodded again, their eyes flashing with determination and expectation. They knew that the mysterious power was within reach.

Lao Zhang approached the altar again, looking at the runes and patterns more intently. He tried to catch a clue to gain power from these complex symbols. However, these runes seemed to contain some ancient wisdom, which Lao Zhang could not figure out for a while.

At this moment, a subtle sound once again broke the tranquility of the mountaintop. Everyone was on alert as if they were facing a great enemy, and looked around vigilantly. Only to see a figure once again walk out from the shadow behind the altar, with light steps, slowly walking towards them.

The man was still wearing a black robe, his face hidden under the mask, his eyes flashing with a deep light. The aura around him became stronger and stronger, as if even the air was trembling under his will.

"Who are you? Why do you trespass here so many times?" The mysterious figure's voice was low and powerful, with unquestionable majesty.

Lao Zhang stepped forward again, bowed, and said, "We are explorers who pursue justice and light. We have come here to find the mysterious power that can purify the evil in the world. I beg you to guide us."

Upon hearing this, the mysterious figure's eyes flashed with admiration: "You have justice in your heart and your courage is commendable. But this power is extraordinary and must be obtained through many tests. Are you ready?"

Lao Zhang looked at everyone else and saw determination and courage in each other's eyes. So, they all answered in unison: "We are ready and willing to accept the test!"

The mysterious figure smiled and nodded, then slowly walked to the edge of the altar. With a flick of his finger, the runes on the altar suddenly burst into a dazzling blue light, illuminating the entire altar as bright as day. At the same time, the air around them seemed to freeze, and even breathing became extremely difficult.

"The first test is a combination of courage and wisdom." The mysterious figure's voice echoed on the empty mountaintop, with an irresistible majesty. "You must find the right path in the rune maze of this altar. Once you go wrong, you will be trapped in endless illusions and will never be able to get out."

Lao Zhang took a deep breath and motioned for everyone to follow him into the altar. They carefully stepped into the rune maze, taking every step very cautiously. The runes in the maze kept changing, as if they had life, trying to confuse their vision and interfere with their judgment.

However, the crowd was not deceived by these illusions. With their extraordinary wisdom and courage, they solved the puzzle of the maze step by step. Sometimes they observed the arrangement of runes to find clues; sometimes they listened to the subtle changes in the surrounding environment to capture those fleeting hints; sometimes they discussed with each other and analyzed the mysteries of the maze together.

After a lot of hard work, they finally found the exit of the maze. When they stepped out of the maze, the air around them began to flow again, and they felt an unprecedented sense of relief.

The mysterious figure watched them walk out of the maze, with a hint of approval and relief in his eyes: "Well, you have passed the first test. Next, it will be the more difficult second test."

The mysterious figure waved his finger again, and the runes on the altar suddenly turned into sharp wind blades, circling in the air, making a whistling sound. These wind blades were extremely sharp, and wherever they passed, even the air was cut into pieces.

"The second test is a test of speed and reaction." The mysterious figure's voice was particularly clear amid the whistling sound of the wind blades. "You need to avoid the attacks of these wind blades and reach the other side of the altar. Remember, once you are hit by a wind blade, you will be eliminated and lose the qualification to continue the test."

Upon hearing this, everyone immediately entered combat mode. They were agile and nimble, dodging the wind blades' attacks flexibly. Sometimes they rolled, sometimes they jumped, and sometimes they waved their weapons, trying to disperse the wind blades. The wind blades' attacks became more and more fierce, and their movements became more and more agile and skilled.

After a fierce battle and competition, they finally managed to dodge all the wind blades and successfully reached the other side of the altar. The moment they stood firm, the wind blades around them suddenly dissipated, and the air became quiet and peaceful again.

The mysterious figure looked at their embarrassed but determined figures, his eyes flashing with approval and admiration: "You have done very well and successfully passed the second test. Next, it will be the decisive third test."

The mysterious figure waved his hands, and the air around the altar suddenly became extremely hot, as if one was in a blazing fire. Waves of heat rushed towards one's face, suffocating one.

"The third test is the test of perseverance and persistence." The mysterious figure's voice echoed in the hot air. "You must persist in this flame for a certain period of time and not be consumed by the flames. Remember, perseverance and persistence are the keys to success. Only those who can persevere to the end can gain the supreme power."

When everyone heard this, they showed a resolute look on their faces. They knew that this was the final test and the decisive moment. So, they all used their strength to resist the attack of the flames.

The flames grew more intense, as if they were about to devour them. However, they did not flinch, relying on their extraordinary perseverance and persistence to persevere in the flames. Their figures were looming in the flames, as if they had become a bright spot in the blazing fire.

Finally, with everyone's unremitting efforts, the flames gradually went out and the air became fresh and cool again. They successfully passed the third test, with joy and pride on their faces.

The mysterious figure looked at them with admiration and respect in his eyes: "You are truly amazing heroes! Not only do you possess extraordinary wisdom and courage, you also possess unwavering perseverance and faith. This supreme power requires people like you to harness and use it."
