Legend of Hongmeng Duo

In the heart of the deep and mysterious maze, Lin Yi and Su Qing stood side by side, their gaze fixed on a crystal ball suspended in the air, emitting a strange light. The crystal ball hovered there like a dazzling pearl, but they knew that it held a great secret. It was not only the key to navigating this intricate maze, but also the mysterious gateway to the next unknown trial.

"This formation is incredibly complex, beyond imagination!" Lin Yi muttered to himself, gazing at the faint patterns surrounding the crystal ball. His eyes gleamed with a focused light, as if they could penetrate layers of fog and discern the mysteries within. "It's not a single structure, but rather a woven fabric of numerous ingenious small formations, each containing unique energy properties."

Su Qing nodded slightly in agreement. Her beautiful eyes were equally focused, fixed on the crystal ball and the surrounding formations. "That's right. Only by accurately determining the correct order of these small formations can we successfully activate the crystal ball."

Upon receiving the order, the cultivators in the team sprang into action. They quickly gathered around and, following Lin Yi and Su Qing's instructions, intensely studied every aspect of the mysterious formation. Holding their breath, they cautiously extended their fingers, gently touching the seemingly weak yet powerful energy currents. Each attempt was like walking a tightrope, a single misstep could lead to unforeseen consequences. Undeterred, they drew on years of experience and keen intuition to carefully search for the key to activating the crystal ball. For a moment, a tense and solemn atmosphere permeated the entire center of the maze.

"Here, this rune seems to be the key to guiding energy." A cultivator pointed to a special rune in the formation and said, with a hint of excitement in his voice.

Lin Yi quickly walked to the location pointed by the immortal cultivator and began to try to guide the energy flow to the rune. As the energy flowed, the rune in the formation began to glow, and the entire formation seemed to be activated.

"We are close, but we still need to find other key runes." Lin Yi said after successfully activating a rune, his eyes full of confidence.

Su Qing also began to cast her spells. Her staff streaked across the air, resonating with the energy within the formation. "There's a connection between these runes. We need to find a balance between them."

As time went on, the team gradually found all the key runes needed to activate the crystal ball. Led by Lin Yi and Su Qing, they successfully channeled the energy within the formation, allowing the entire formation to begin operating.

"Now!" Lin Yi shouted, and he and Su Qing injected the last bit of energy into the crystal ball at the same time.

With the final infusion of energy, the crystal ball suddenly erupted with dazzling light, activating the entire formation. A beam of light shot out from the crystal ball, forming a massive portal. Intense spiritual energy emanated from the portal, as if it were a portal to another world.

"We succeeded!" A cultivator could hardly suppress his inner excitement and shouted excitedly. There seemed to be bright stars twinkling in his bright eyes, full of joy and pride.

Lin Yi and Su Qing, standing nearby, exchanged a tacit glance, then smiled faintly. They knew full well that behind the slowly opening mysterious portal lay an unknown world and a new set of trials. Though the road ahead was thorny and filled with countless difficulties and obstacles, they were undaunted, for this was an essential and crucial step in their long journey to immortality.

Lin Yi stepped forward, his gaze fixed on the group with a resolute look. He declared, "Let us join hands and pass through this portal together, bravely facing the next trial!" His words resonated through the entire group like a resounding bell. At that moment, an unwavering faith and determination could be clearly seen in Lin Yi's eyes, like a blazing fire, giving one a sense of boundless courage and strength surging forth.

Meanwhile, Su Qing was fully prepared. She gently raised her hand, muttering something to herself, and a faint aura of light suddenly enveloped her. As she continued to cast spells, the light grew increasingly dazzling. Clearly, she was fully energizing the powerful spells at her disposal, ensuring the entire team's safe and sound passage through the portal. "Rest assured, everyone. I will do my utmost to protect everyone. As long as we work together and support each other, we will overcome all difficulties." Su Qing's clear, melodious voice echoed like a spring breeze, caressing the hearts of everyone, bringing immense encouragement and comfort.
