Crossing to Douqi Continent and walking sideways

Xiao Muchen and Lin Wan'er were resting in a secluded place. Both of them looked tired, but their eyes were full of determination. They sat around the campfire, the flames jumping, reflecting their solemn expressions, thinking about how to seal the mysterious and evil crystal ball.

"Brother Xiao, the power of this crystal ball is so strong, how can we seal it?" Lin Wan'er frowned, her beautiful face full of worry. From time to time, she looked at the crystal ball not far away. Even though it was wrapped in cloth, she could still feel the evil aura emanating from it, as if it could break free at any time and bring endless disasters.

Xiao Muchen pondered for a moment, his eyes deep and focused, and he slowly said: "I have seen a powerful sealing formation in ancient books. Maybe we can give it a try, but we need to find some rare materials."

"What material is it? Even if it is hard to find, we must try our best to find it." Lin Wan'er clenched her fists, her eyes revealing determination. She knew very well that if the crystal ball was not sealed, the world would fall into darkness and chaos.

Xiao Muchen took out a piece of parchment with the names and characteristics of the materials written on it: "Thousand-year Ice Marrow, Nine Suns Divine Tree Core, and Ethereal Purple Crystal. These materials are all rare in the world, and it is not easy to find them. Thousand-year Ice Marrow is said to be deep in the iceberg in the extremely cold land, which is frozen all year round and full of dangers; the Nine Suns Divine Tree Core is in the core area of the ancient forest, guarded by a divine beast; as for the Ethereal Purple Crystal, there is no definite clue so far."

Lin Wan'er said: "Let's search separately, this will save time."

Xiao Muchen nodded, his eyes full of concern. He took out a delicate bottle from his arms, handed it to Lin Wan'er and said, "Wan'er, there is a trace of the Netherworld Poison Fire that I fused before in this bottle. It can protect you at the critical moment. You must be careful. Don't fight hard when you encounter danger. You must ensure your own safety first."

Lin Wan'er took the bottle and nodded solemnly.

The two men parted ways, each using the flying skills of a Dou Zong master to rush towards their target.

Xiao Muchen rushed all the way through the deserted desert. The wind was howling beside him, but his figure was as steady as a mountain, and the shield formed by his fighting spirit kept the wind and sand out.

After climbing over the steep and dangerous mountains, he streaked across the sky like a meteor, and the abyss below was bottomless.

Finally, he came to an extremely cold place. It was covered with ice and snow, and the wind was as cold as a knife. Xiao Muchen lowered his altitude, and as soon as he approached the ground, he felt the biting cold.

Deep in the iceberg, Xiao Muchen encountered a powerful ice monster, which spread its huge wings and pounced on Xiao Muchen.

Xiao Muchen was not afraid at all, the Star Sword danced in his hand, bringing up sharp sword energy. At the same time, he unleashed the Netherworld Poison Fire that he had previously fused, and the flame burned in the air, with a strange green light, colliding with the extremely cold air released by the monster.

Xiao Muchen's figure was like a ghost, engaging in a fierce battle with the monster in the air. Although the monster's attack was fierce, Xiao Muchen relied on the powerful strength of the middle stage of Dou Zong and superb fighting skills to avoid the monster's fatal attacks again and again.

Finally, Xiao Muchen found the monster's weakness. He concentrated all his fighting spirit, injected the power of the Netherworld Poison Fire into the Star Sword, and flew to stab the monster's vital point.

The monster roared in pain and fell from the sky. Xiao Muchen took the opportunity to collect the Millennium Ice Marrow.

Lin Wan'er also encountered many difficulties during the flight. In the sky above the ancient forest, she encountered strong air currents and complex magic traps.

But with her strong will and flexible response, she successfully reached the core of the forest.

There, a huge divine beast that exuded a powerful aura and was guarding the core of the Nine Suns Divine Tree was squatting beside the core of the Nine Suns Divine Tree. When the divine beast discovered Lin Wan'er, it immediately opened its bloody mouth, let out a deafening roar, and then quickly pounced on her.

Facing this sudden attack, Lin Wan'er did not panic. She cast a mysterious and powerful spell, a faint glow appeared around her body, and the sword in her hand also flashed a dazzling cold light. She dodged the beast's pounce and rushed towards the beast at an extremely fast speed, swinging the sword in her hand with a sharp sword energy.

The beast felt the threat of the sword energy and immediately changed direction, nimbly dodging Lin Wan'er's attack. It spread its wings, flew into the air, and spewed a ball of blazing flames from its mouth, sweeping towards Lin Wan'er.

Lin Wan'er was not afraid at all, and once again cast a defensive spell, forming a transparent shield that tightly wrapped herself up. The flames hit the shield, making a crackling sound, but failed to break through the shield's defense.

In the air, Lin Wan'er and the beast had a thrilling battle. She continuously used various spells and swordsmanship skills, sometimes attacking the beast's vital parts, and sometimes avoiding its attacks. The beast, with its powerful strength and agility, brought Lin Wan'er considerable pressure.

After a tough fight, Lin Wan'er gradually gained the upper hand. She took advantage of an opportunity and used a powerful sword technique to successfully hit the beast's eye. The beast roared in pain and retreated.

Lin Wan'er took the opportunity to chase after it, casting several powerful spells in succession, and finally defeated the beast completely. The beast fell to the ground and stopped moving.

Lin Wan'er breathed a sigh of relief and walked towards the Nine Suns Divine Wood Core. She carefully picked it up and felt the powerful energy contained in it. Although this adventure was full of dangers, she finally succeeded in obtaining the Nine Suns Divine Wood Core.

However, there is no clue to the whereabouts of the ethereal purple crystal. Just when they feel desperate, Xiao Muchen accidentally gets a hint from a mysterious old man. The old man has white hair, but his eyes are deep and mysterious. He told Xiao Muchen: "You may find what you are looking for in an abandoned ancient city, but it is full of unknown dangers."

Following the old man's instructions, they came to a deserted ancient city. This ancient city may have been prosperous in the past, but now only ruins remain, filled with a smell of decay.

Xiao Muchen and Lin Wan'er circled cautiously in the air, observing the movements around them.

"Senior Brother Xiao, it feels so eerie here." Lin Wan'er followed closely behind Xiao Muchen, her voice trembling slightly.

"Don't be afraid, Wan'er, we will definitely find the ethereal amethyst." Xiao Muchen comforted, while observing his surroundings vigilantly.

Just then, a gust of cold wind blew, and a group of ghostly figures appeared in front of them.

"Anyone who trespasses into the ancient city will die!" The ghosts made eerie voices and quickly pounced on Xiao Muchen and Lin Wan'er.

Xiao Muchen and Lin Wan'er had to fight these ghosts. Xiao Muchen displayed a powerful fighting skill, shining with light, and repelled the ghosts one after another.

Lin Wan'er cast magic on the side to provide support to Xiao Muchen.

After a hard fight, they finally got rid of the ghost's entanglement and continued to search for the ethereal amethyst.

Finally, in an old palace in the ancient city, they found the ethereal amethyst. But it was protected by a powerful barrier, on which flashed mysterious runes and exuded powerful power.

Xiao Muchen and Lin Wan'er worked together to break the barrier, and they continuously injected their own fighting spirit and magic power into the process of breaking it. Sweat soaked their clothes, their faces were pale, but their eyes were always firm.

After successfully obtaining the ethereal amethyst, the two quickly returned.

On a full moon night, Xiao Muchen and Lin Wan'er placed the materials in the key positions of the formation according to the methods in the ancient books. Then, they put their hands together and began to inject powerful fighting spirit and magic power.

As they worked hard, the formation gradually started to work, and a beam of light shot up into the sky, covering the crystal ball. The evil power on the crystal ball began to be suppressed, the light gradually dimmed, and the disturbing aura slowly dissipated. The air around them seemed to become peaceful.

"Success!" Xiao Muchen and Lin Wan'er cheered, their voices filled with joy and exhaustion. They hugged each other and cried, excited for this hard-won victory.

But they knew that this was only a temporary victory. The conspiracy of the Shadow Pavilion had not yet been fully exposed, and their mission had not yet been completed...
