Legend of Hongmeng Duo

After crossing the dark forbidden land, the team led by Lin Yi and Su Qing came to a desolate land, where they discovered an ancient city forgotten by time, hiding the secret of time travel.

"This city seems to have been abandoned for a long time, but I feel that there is a powerful energy hidden here." Lin Yi stood at the entrance of the city, his eyes flashing with curiosity and vigilance.

Su Qing gripped her staff tightly, her gaze wandering around the city, searching for possible clues: "This may be the key to finding our way home."

The team slowly entered the city, their footsteps echoing on the shattered streets, surrounded by collapsed buildings and weathered sculptures. This city was once magnificent, but now only ruins remained.

"Look over there!" A cultivator dressed in a green robe and with an extraordinary temperament pointed at the row of stone tablets standing in the distance with a look of astonishment on his face. His voice trembled slightly because of extreme excitement, as if he had discovered some extraordinary and shocking secret.

Upon hearing this, Lin Yi and Su Qing flashed almost simultaneously, arriving in front of the row of stone tablets as swiftly as two bolts of lightning. These tablets were tall and simple, densely engraved with extremely ancient and mysterious characters. These characters, like a giant dragon that had slumbered for a thousand years, exuded an irresistible attraction.

Lin Yi's gaze was fixed on the stone tablet, intently deciphering the text. As time went on, his expression grew increasingly solemn, yet he could hardly conceal his inner excitement. Finally, after a careful study, Lin Yi took a deep breath and slowly began to speak, "These words record the long history of this city, as well as some unknown secrets about time travel." He raised his head and looked at Su Qing, who was also concentrating on studying the inscription beside him.

Su Qing's brow furrowed slightly, her beautiful eyes gleaming with wisdom. After a moment, she opened her red lips, "Yes, I noticed that, too. Furthermore, it mentions an ancient ritual that is said to open a portal to another world."

Hearing this, Lin Yi's eyes lit up instantly, like a star suddenly ignited in the darkness, and his excitement was beyond words: "If this is true, then this ceremony may be the key to our finding our way home!"

Under the guidance of Lin Yi and Su Qing, the entire team ignited a new flame of hope, and they began to explore this mysterious city in depth. Along the way, they passed through winding streets and saw many strange buildings and sights. Finally, they arrived at the city's very center.

Here, a square of astonishing grandeur stands. The vast expanse is paved with slate as polished as jade, and surrounded by towering stone pillars, each carved with intricate patterns and runes. In the very center of the square stands a majestic altar. Carved from a single monolith, the altar is covered in intricate and enigmatic runes, emanating a powerful and mysterious aura, as if telling of legendary tales from ages past.

"This altar may be a place for rituals." Lin Yi said after observing the altar, with determination flashing in his eyes.

Su Qing also began to prepare spells to ensure that the ceremony could proceed smoothly: "We will use this altar to perform the ritual and open the portal to return home."

Under the guidance of Lin Yi and Su Qing, the team began to prepare for the ceremony. They followed the instructions on the stone tablet, gathered the necessary materials and energy, and prepared to activate the altar.

"Everyone get ready, we will perform this ceremony together." Lin Yi encouraged the team's morale before the ceremony began, his voice full of confidence.

Su Qing also began to chant the ancient spell, and her staff drew rays of light in the air, ready to activate the runes on the altar.

As the solemn ceremony progressed methodically, the ancient altar, towering into the clouds and engraved with mysterious runes, began to glow with dazzling light, as if ignited. These lights intertwined and merged, forming a dazzling web of light that quickly spread, enveloping the entire vast square in the blink of an eye.

Under the pressure of this powerful and vast energy, Lin Yi and Su Qing led the team behind them, moving forward slowly, as if treading on thin ice. They were completely focused, not daring to slack off in the slightest, carefully guiding this surging energy and doing their utmost to maintain the smooth operation of the ceremony.

At this moment, Lin Yi suddenly raised his head, staring at the top of the altar with a sharp gaze, and shouted: "Now!" In a flash, he and Su Qing beside him had a tacit understanding. They both stretched out their hands at the same time and injected the last pure energy in their bodies into the altar without reservation.

In an instant, like a bolt from the blue, a deafening roar echoed across the sky. Then, a blindingly bright beam of light shot forth from the altar, shooting straight into the sky. At the center of this dazzling light, a massive portal, as majestic as a mountain, slowly opened at a speed visible to the naked eye.

From the portal, which hadn't yet fully opened, a continuous stream of extremely powerful spiritual energy emanated. This spiritual energy surged like rolling waves, each higher than the last, sweeping in all directions. Those watching from afar felt their breath catch, as if every pore in their body had opened wide, greedily absorbing this incredibly rich spiritual energy.

Looking at this magical and spectacular scene before him, Lin Yi's face broke into a gratified smile, but it was quickly masked by deep fatigue. However, deep within his slightly cloudy eyes, the fire of unwavering faith still burned. He took a deep breath and said in a slightly hoarse voice, "We've finally found our way home..."

Su Qing nodded slightly in agreement. Her beautiful eyes also shone with hope for the future. She replied softly, "Yes, we will soon pass through this mysterious portal together and return to our own familiar world."
