My brother is Shi Hao

As time passed, the stories of Shi Yi and Shi Hao spread like wildfire throughout the cultivation world. Not only had they defeated the Dark Ghost King and the Blood Shadow Demon Lord, but they had also demonstrated extraordinary strength and wisdom in countless perilous situations. Soon, the names of Shi Yi and Shi Hao became legends among countless young cultivators, and many flocked to visit them, hoping to gain guidance from these two rising masters.

While Shi Yi and Shi Hao weren't truly master and disciple, the hardships they'd endured together had forged a tacit understanding like brothers. Facing the influx of young practitioners, they showed no impatience, instead offering guidance whenever possible. Sometimes, even a brief word of guidance could benefit those seeking the truth, leading to enlightenment.

True Man Jiuyang and Fairy Baihua were filled with joy as they watched Shi Yi and Shi Hao grow so quickly. True Man Jiuyang, in particular, felt the unspeakable potential in both of them, as well as their unwavering pursuit of the great path of cultivation.

"Shi Yi, Shi Hao." The Fairy of Flowers called softly, her clear voice echoing among the mountains and fields.

"Fairy Baihua, what do you want me to do for you?" Shi Hao stopped instructing a young man and turned around to salute.

"We have decided to stay with you and explore the mysteries of cultivation together." True Man Jiuyang's voice was low and firm. "Your growth has exceeded our expectations and has given us hope for the future of the cultivation world."

Shi Yi and Shi Hao exchanged a glance, gratitude in their eyes. They knew that with the guidance of these two masters, True Man Jiuyang and Fairy Baihua, they would be able to make further progress on their path of cultivation.

"Thank you, senior. Shi Hao and I will live up to your expectations." Shi Yi said solemnly.

In the days that followed, Shi Yi and Shi Hao, under the guidance of True Man Jiuyang and Fairy Baihua, diligently cultivated day and night, exploring ever-deeper realms of cultivation. They began to journey through the ancient ruins dotted across the map, each expedition bringing them rewards and enhancing their strength. Through this training, they gradually grasped profound cultivation techniques, which gradually took root within them.

One bright morning, Shi Yi sat alone on a mountaintop, feeling the flow of spiritual energy around him. His brow furrowed slightly, as if lost in thought. Suddenly, he opened his eyes, a shimmering light glittering within them like stars. He stood up, unfolded the map in his hand, and fixed his gaze on a previously unnoticed spot. There, inscribed were three ancient characters: "Cangtian Cave."

"Shi Hao, I have a new discovery." Shi Yi said in a deep voice.

Upon hearing this, Shi Hao stepped forward and looked at the mark on the map, his eyes gleaming with the same excitement. They knew that new opportunities awaited them, and that they might be the key to achieving a higher realm.

Suddenly, a distant and mysterious laugh echoed from the misty sea of clouds. Shi Yi and Shi Hao turned their heads simultaneously to see an old man in flowing white robes slowly descending from the clouds, a kind expression on his face.

"I have seen everything you have done..."

Before the old man finished speaking, Shi Yi and Shi Hao's hearts were already surging with excitement. They sensed another momentous opportunity approaching. "Congratulations, young friends! You have reached the threshold of a higher realm," Taoist Master Kong Ling said with a smile, clapping his hands. "However, the path of cultivation never ends. You must strive even harder." After bidding farewell to Taoist Master Kong Ling, Shi Yi and Shi Hao followed the map's instructions, heading west. The map contained only a few words describing the area: "Clouds are deep and unknown, and mists veil the mountain gates."

Along the way, towering mountains stretched endlessly, ancient trees towering into the sky, blocking out the sun. Thick miasma permeated the forest, and the occasional roar of ferocious beasts added a touch of eerie terror.

"Brother, do you think there really are more powerful martial arts in the places marked on this map?" Shi Hao asked while observing his surroundings vigilantly.

Shi Yi's eyes were determined, and he said in a deep voice, "It's better to believe it exists than not to believe it exists. Even if there is no more powerful martial arts, it is worth the trip to witness the wonders of this world."

They passed through a dense jungle, and suddenly the view opened up. They saw a huge stone gate standing in the valley, with strange runes carved on it, exuding an ancient and mysterious atmosphere.

"Looks like we've found the right place." Shi Yi pointed at the stone gate and said, "This should be the 'Mist-Locked Mountain Gate' mentioned on the map."

Shi Hao rubbed his hands excitedly, "What are we waiting for? Let's go in and take a look!" As he said that, he stepped forward and pushed open the stone door.

"Wait!" Shi Yi grabbed him and said, "Be careful, there's a trap!"

He carefully observed the runes on the stone gate. These runes had complex structures and were filled with powerful energy fluctuations. If he was not careful, they might trigger the restrictions and cause unpredictable consequences.

Shi Yi took a deep breath, mobilized all his spiritual power, and slowly placed his hands on the stone door. As the spiritual power was injected, the runes on the stone door began to emit a dazzling light.

Rumble!

The stone door slowly opened, and an ancient and powerful aura rushed towards me...
