Crossing to Douqi Continent and walking sideways

After Xiao Muchen obtained the artifact, the fighting spirit in his body fell into extreme chaos. He knew that if he could not control this mysterious power, the consequences would be disastrous.

Lin Wan'er was extremely anxious. "Senior Brother Xiao, why don't we go back to Qingshan Sect and ask the Sect Master and the elders. Maybe they can find a solution."

Xiao Muchen pondered for a moment and shook his head firmly, "This matter is of great importance. We cannot let the sect fall into danger because of me. Let's explore it on our own first."

So they found a quiet valley and prepared to study the secrets of the artifact there.

Xiao Muchen meditated day and night, trying to establish a connection with the artifact. After a few days, he finally entered a deep state of meditation, and his soul was drawn into a strange space.

In this space, lightning flashed, thunder roared, and the wind howled. In front of him, a huge figure appeared. It was the guardian of the artifact.

"If you want to control the artifact, you must pass my test." The guardian's voice resounded like a bell.

Xiao Muchen showed no fear, "I am willing to accept it!"

The test began, and Xiao Muchen was instantly placed on a mountain top, surrounded by clouds and mist. If he was not careful, he would be crushed to pieces. He had to climb to the top along the steep mountain wall in the strong wind, with rocks falling and lightning strikes on the way. Xiao Muchen climbed up with difficulty with his tenacious will and agility.

As soon as he reached the top, the scene suddenly changed to an endless desert, with unbearable heat and scarce water. He had to find the hidden fountain of life in the desert, otherwise he would die of thirst. Xiao Muchen walked forward step by step under the scorching sun, and fainted many times due to dehydration, but he stood up again every time with his strong will to survive.

Then, he came to a maze full of illusions, where countless phantoms tried to confuse his mind and make him lost forever. Xiao Muchen closed his eyes tightly, and used his heart to feel the real path, breaking through the shackles of illusions again and again.

After going through a series of almost impossible tests, Xiao Muchen finally passed all the tests with his tenacity and wisdom.

"You have passed the test. Next, feel the power of the artifact with your heart," said the guardian.

Xiao Muchen then discovered that this artifact was not a specific weapon, but a mysterious secret method that could strengthen his fighting spirit and give him new skills and abilities.

During the fusion process with the artifact, Xiao Muchen only felt a vast and pure power surging into his body, his meridians were constantly widened, and his fighting spirit was running wildly.

"boom!"

Xiao Muchen's cultivation level broke through instantly, and he was promoted directly from the late Dou Ling stage to the early Dou Wang stage.

Xiao Muchen woke up from the spiritual space, feeling the powerful force in his body and was extremely excited.

However, before they had time to celebrate, a new crisis was quietly approaching.

The news that Xiao Muchen had obtained the artifact and achieved a breakthrough in his cultivation spread like a storm throughout the Douqi Continent, and all forces were eyeing him covetously. Among them, the most evil "Dark Alliance" organization sent a large number of masters to try to snatch the artifact.

One day, Xiao Muchen and Lin Wan'er were practicing in the valley, when suddenly, a powerful evil aura enveloped them.

"Oh no, there are enemies!" Xiao Muchen stood up vigilantly.

I saw a group of people in black armor appearing at the entrance of the valley, led by a man with a gloomy face. His cultivation had reached the middle stage of Dou Wang, and there was a greedy light in his eyes.

"Hand over the artifact and I will spare your life!" the man said coldly.

Xiao Muchen held the Star Sword in his hand and stood in front of Lin Wan'er, "If you want the artifact, you have to get past me first!"

The battle broke out instantly, and the masters of the Dark Alliance displayed all kinds of evil fighting skills. Xiao Muchen was not afraid at all. He used the new skills granted by the artifact. For a moment, there was brilliant light, and the powerful force repelled wave after wave of enemies.

Lin Wan'er also helped with all her strength and cooperated well with Xiao Muchen.

But the Dark Alliance had a large number of people and many experts. They attacked Xiao Muchen and Lin Wan'er frantically, and their situation became increasingly difficult.

Xiao Muchen and Lin Wan'er worked closely together, but facing so many enemies, they gradually felt overwhelmed. However, Xiao Muchen did not give up. He keenly observed the enemy's movements and looked for opportunities to break through.

At this moment, Xiao Muchen discovered a fatal flaw in the enemy leader. He was delighted and quickly adjusted his tactics, concentrating all his strength, including the power of the artifact, and prepared to launch a full-strength attack.

The Star Sword flashed with dazzling light, and Xiao Muchen swung it with all his strength. The Star Sword, with its dazzling light, was like a meteor across the night sky, instantly penetrating the leader's defense and accurately hitting his vital points.

This blow was so powerful that it killed the enemy leader directly. The leader's body fell to the ground with a loud bang, blood splattered everywhere, and the surrounding enemies were terrified and their morale was greatly reduced.

With the death of their leader, the rest of the Dark Alliance was thrown into disarray. Xiao Muchen and Lin Wan'er took the opportunity to counterattack and finally repelled all the enemies.

"Wan'er, it's not advisable to stay here for long. We must leave as soon as possible." Xiao Muchen said.

Lin Wan'er nodded in agreement, and the two packed their luggage and embarked on an unknown journey.

They rushed all the way, shuttling through the mountains, forests and wilderness, carefully avoiding the pursuit of various forces. Those forces were like hounds with a keen sense of smell, biting them tightly and making them dare not slack off.

Every step is full of danger, and every moment may encounter a surprise attack. However, in this difficult escape journey, Xiao Muchen and Lin Wan'er never gave up improving their own strength. They understand that only if they are strong enough can they escape this endless pursuit and control their own destiny.

By chance, Xiao Muchen discovered a secret compartment in an abandoned ancient temple. When he opened the compartment with trepidation, a yellowed ancient secret book appeared before his eyes. The cover of the secret book was worn out, exuding the vicissitudes of time, but the mysterious light faintly flowing on it hinted at its extraordinaryness.

Xiao Muchen's heartbeat accelerated instantly, and he realized that this might be the key to changing their fate. Back in his hiding place, he couldn't wait to study the secret book with Lin Wan'er. It recorded an unprecedented and powerful cultivation method, which was unique and complex, requiring the practitioner to have extremely high comprehension and perseverance.

Xiao Muchen and Lin Wan'er encouraged each other and decided to practice according to the methods in the secret book. They abandoned all distractions and devoted themselves to practice. At first, the progress was slow and difficult. They encountered bottlenecks many times and almost went crazy. But with their firm belief and mutual support, they constantly adjusted the rhythm and method of practice.

As time went by, they gradually got the hang of it. The spiritual energy in their bodies began to flow along the unique path described in the secret book, and each cycle brought a significant improvement in strength. Their aura became more and more stable, their skills became more profound, and their strength improved by leaps and bounds, as if they had been reborn.

However, their whereabouts were discovered by a mysterious force, which sent a super master in the early stage of Douhuang to hunt them down.

During their escape, Xiao Muchen and Lin Wan'er accidentally entered a mysterious ruin, which was full of dangerous mechanisms and powerful guardian beasts.

They moved forward cautiously in the ruins, dealing with various dangers while searching for a way out.

Deep in the ruins, they discovered a huge treasure, but also attracted more powerful enemies...
