Crossing to Douqi Continent and walking sideways

After Xiao Muchen and the others successfully passed the test of the martial realm, they rested for a few days and their physical and mental fatigue gradually dissipated. On this day, the sun was shining and the breeze was blowing. After discussing with each other, they decided to visit the martial ancestor Lin Dong together to express their sincere gratitude to him.

They walked slowly along the bustling streets of Wujing. The buildings on both sides of the street were tall and magnificent, with carved beams and painted rafters, and were magnificent. The pavilions were scattered and the shops were full of rare magic weapons, wonderful elixirs and mysterious ancient books. People came and went in the streets and alleys, some were practitioners with special skills, some were busy vendors, and some were leisurely scholars. The sounds of shouting, talking, laughing, and bargaining were intertwined, full of the breath of life.

Xiao Muchen's eyes were full of novelty and admiration for all this, and he couldn't help but sigh at the prosperity and strong foundation of the martial realm. He turned to look at his companions and said with a smile: "This martial realm is really worthy of its reputation. Such a prosperous scene is really eye-opening."

Lin Wan'er brushed the hair on her forehead gently, her beautiful eyes wandering as she replied, "Yes, if you can practice in a place like this, you will definitely gain a lot."

Ye Feng laughed carelessly and said, "Haha, when we become powerful, we can also make a difference in this martial arts world!"

Ling Shuang still had a stern expression on her face and nodded silently.

Chu Li looked around curiously, excitement gleaming in her eyes.

Soon, they arrived in front of Lin Dong's magnificent mansion. The mansion's gate was tall and wide, with golden rivets inlaid on the vermilion gate, and majestic stone lions stood on both sides of the gate. The guards at the door were dressed in neat armor and holding spears, looking majestic.

When the guard saw them, his eyes revealed a hint of vigilance, and he asked, "Who are you? What's the matter?"

Xiao Muchen stepped forward and said respectfully, "Please inform Master Wu Zu that Xiao Muchen and others are here to visit us to thank you for your help."

The guard nodded slightly and turned to go in and pass the message.

After a moment, the guard walked out quickly and made a gesture of invitation: "Master Wu Zu invites you, everyone, please come in."

Everyone followed the guards into the mansion, where they saw pavilions and towers, with rockery and pools, all in an orderly arrangement. Following the bluestone path and through several corridors, they finally arrived at the hall.

Entering the hall, I saw Lin Dong sitting in the main seat. His face was handsome and majestic, his eyes were deep and wise, and he exuded an irresistible powerful aura.

Xiao Muchen and the others hurriedly saluted and said respectfully: "Master Wu Zu, thank you for your help before. If it weren't for you, we would have had a hard time getting through that crisis."

Lin Dong smiled slightly, waved his hand gently, and said: "You are welcome. Since it happened in the martial realm, I will not sit idly by. Besides, I think you are all young people with backbone and potential. You will definitely achieve something in the future."

When everyone heard this, they felt warm and encouraged.

Xiao Muchen said: "Master Wu Zu, thank you for your praise. We will definitely work harder and live up to your expectations."

Lin Dong nodded in approval, and then said, "Come, sit down and tell me about your recent experiences in the martial arts realm."

Everyone sat down as instructed and began to talk with Lin Dong.

During this time, Lin Dong told them about many things that happened in Wujing during this period.

“It turns out that several nearby forces are secretly colluding in an attempt to harm Wujing. They covet Wujing’s resources and status and have planned a series of conspiracies.” Lin Dong’s expression turned serious.

When Xiao Muchen and others heard this, they were shocked and couldn't help but worry about Wu Jing's safety.

Lin Dong continued, “However, how could their little tricks escape my eyes. Under my wise decision, Wujing had already prepared for it, had seen through their plans in advance, and set up a dragnet. When they thought the time was ripe and launched an attack, they found themselves surrounded by us. In the end, their conspiracy failed and they ended up in a miserable defeat.” At this point, a sharp light flashed in Lin Dong's eyes.

After hearing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief and were deeply impressed by Lin Dong's wisdom and powerful martial arts skills.

Lin Wan'er said: "Master Wu Zu is wise. With your protection, Wu Realm will surely be stable and peaceful for a long time."

Lin Dong smiled slightly and continued, “In addition, there is another major event. Deep in the Martial Realm, a new discovery was made in an ancient immortal cave. According to ancient records, this ancient immortal cave was left by a great man in ancient times, and it may contain supreme skills and rare treasures. However, there are powerful restrictions and mysterious formations around this cave, and it is full of unknown dangers. If you are not careful, you will fall into an irretrievable place.”

When Xiao Muchen and others heard this, they couldn't help but reveal curiosity and yearning in their eyes.

Ye Feng said excitedly: "This is a rare opportunity! Maybe we can gain powerful strength from it and soar into the sky!"

Lin Wan'er said with some concern: "In such a dangerous place, are we capable of dealing with the challenges there?"

Ling Shuang pondered for a moment and said, "Don't be impulsive. This matter needs to be considered carefully. Although opportunities are rare, life is more precious."

Chu Li listened quietly and whispered, "I think we can make full preparations first and then decide whether to go."

Lin Dong watched them discuss and said with a smile: “Young people, it’s good to be aggressive, but you must also act with caution. The opportunity of this ancient immortal cave is not so easy to obtain. However, if you can gain something from it through your own efforts and wisdom, it will be of great help to your path of cultivation.”

Xiao Muchen and the others nodded solemnly and said, "Thank you for your teachings, Master Wu Zu. We will definitely consider it carefully."

After talking for a while, Xiao Muchen and the others felt it was inconvenient to disturb them too much, so they stood up and said goodbye.

Lin Dong stood up to see them off and said, “Young man, you still have a long way to go in the future. I hope you can carve out a place for yourself in the martial arts realm.”

Xiao Muchen and others saluted again, then slowly left the hall.

Walking out of the mansion, the sun outside was still shining brightly.

Xiao Muchen looked at the sky and said, "That ancient immortal cave sounds very mysterious. I wonder if we will have a chance to explore it."

Lin Wan'er blinked and said, "I still think it's too dangerous. Our current strength is not strong enough. We should work hard to improve our strength first. If we go there rashly, we might lose our lives in vain."

Ye Feng was still very excited and said, "What are you afraid of! The path of cultivation is full of dangers. If you retreat when you encounter a little difficulty, when will you become a truly strong person? Maybe this is our chance. If we miss it, there will be no chance anymore!"

Ling Shuang pondered for a moment and said, "What Ye Feng said makes sense, but Lin Wan'er's concerns are also reasonable. We must not act rashly. Let's observe the situation first, collect more information about the Immortal Ancient Cave Mansion, make full preparations, and then make a decision."

Chu Li nodded gently and said, "I agree with Brother Ling Shuang. We can't act blindly, but we can't give up such an opportunity easily either."

Everyone walked back while discussing.

Xiao Muchen said: "Then let's go back and practice hard to improve our strength, and at the same time pay attention to the news of the Immortal Ancient Cave Mansion. When the time is right, we will make a decision."

Others agreed.

Their figures gradually walked away under the sunshine, their hearts full of longing and expectation for the future, and they were also thinking about how to create their own glorious path in this martial arts world full of opportunities and challenges...
