The Land of the Earth

In the magnificent Changqiu Palace, Song Chaoming was immersed in quiet meditation.

Suddenly, his body shook slightly, and an indescribable subtle feeling surged into his heart.

It was as if there was a mysterious power that was faintly there, gently echoing with the power of the forest in his body in the distance. It was a strange touch that was like a mysterious thread, quietly pulling at the depths of his soul.

This power, strange yet with a hint of familiar ancient charm, made Song Chaoming instantly alert.

A trace of solemnity and doubt flashed in his deep eyes. Without hesitation, he walked quickly towards the ancient book pavilion that housed countless ancient secrets.

In a flash, he found himself amidst tall bookshelves, brimming with the scent of old books. Song Chaoming waved his hand, and a gentle force emanated, sending several dusty ancient tomes slowly floating down before him.

His eyes scanned the yellowed pages eagerly, page after page, the ancient texts and obscure diagrams quickly passed before his eyes.

Finally, in an ancient book that was almost falling apart, he found some fragmentary records about this mysterious breathing force.

It was the remains of a forest god that had been buried for a long time. According to legend, it contained a powerful force and a peerless artifact that could overturn the order of heaven and earth.

Song Chaoming's heartbeat suddenly quickened. He knew very well that this might be an opportunity or a huge crisis, but no matter what, he could not sit idly by.

Song Chaoming returned to the center of the hall, quickly forming seals with his hands and muttering something. In a flash of light, his luminous clone first condensed into shape.

The body of this clone of light radiated a dazzling golden glow, like a small sun, and the sword of light hummed at its waist.

The sword's light and the clone's aura intertwined, as if eagerly anticipating the upcoming journey. Then, the dream clone slowly emerged.

The dream clone was surrounded by a dreamy colorful halo, which was like a flowing galaxy, constantly changing into strange shapes.

The Fantasy Sword was suspended beside him, and the sword body was flashing with a hazy light, as if it could penetrate the boundary between reality and illusion.

Finally, the time clone appeared, his body was shrouded in a faint silver light, and the time sword in his hand exuded an ancient and profound aura, as if controlling the flow of time for everything in the world.

Song Chaoming stared at his three clones with a firm gaze, his voice low and majestic: "You take the Sword of Light, the Sword of Dreams, and the Sword of Time to explore the ruins of the Forest God, and be sure to bring back the secrets and treasures safely.

This mission is full of unknowns and dangers, so you must cooperate with each other and adapt to changing circumstances."

The Light Avatar took the lead, clasping his fists and accepting the order. His voice was resounding: "Master, rest assured. I will use the power of light to dispel the darkness and haze ahead and pave the way for exploring the ruins."

The Dream Clone bowed slightly and whispered, "I will use the art of illusion to confuse possible enemies and explore the truth and hidden secret passages in the ruins."

The Time Clone stepped forward and said calmly, "I will use the Time Sword to control the rhythm of time, either accelerating it or stagnating it, ensuring we have ample opportunities to respond at critical moments."

With that, the three clones turned, transformed into three streams of light, and sped off in the direction of the ruins mentioned in ancient texts. They passed through a dense forest, and the birds and animals in the forest were startled by the sudden and powerful aura and fled in all directions.

The clone of light rushed to the front. He swung the sword of light. The light on the sword was like a huge sharp blade, instantly clearing away the thorns and obstacles in front.

The dream clone was paying close attention to the movements around him. He released waves of dream power, hiding their figures behind a layer of illusory light curtain to avoid being noticed by potential enemies too early.

The time clone would swing the time sword from time to time to adjust their moving speed. When encountering some dangerous traps or turbulent rivers, he would slow down the flow of time to give the light clone and the dream clone enough time to respond and resolve them.

After a long journey, they finally arrived at the entrance of the ruins. It was a huge stone door, engraved with ancient runes and mysterious patterns.

The clone of light stepped forward and inserted the sword of light into a groove on the stone gate. The light of the sword of light instantly became brighter, illuminating the entire stone gate.

The Dream Clone closed his eyes and connected his consciousness to the runes on the stone door, trying to decipher the secrets within. The Time Clone watched the surroundings vigilantly, preventing any sudden danger.

After a moment, the Dream Clone opened his eyes and said, "This stone gate requires the three of us to inject power at the same time to open it." So, the Light Clone, the Dream Clone and the Time Clone simultaneously circulated the power in their bodies and slowly injected the power into the stone gate.

As power continued to flow in, the runes on the stone door began to flicker, emitting bursts of low rumbling sounds. Suddenly, the stone door slowly opened, and an ancient and mysterious aura rushed towards him.

The three clones cautiously entered the ruins, which were filled with intricate passages and various mysterious mechanisms.

The Light Clone walked in front, illuminating the path ahead with the light of his Sword of Light. The Dream Clone released the power of dreams, probing for hidden traps. The Time Clone followed closely behind, always ready to respond with the Sword of Time.

As they walked along the passage, a group of puppets guarding the ruins suddenly appeared in front of them. These puppets were tall, radiating a metallic sheen, and holding various weapons in their hands, they rushed towards them.

The Light Clone rushed forward without hesitation, brandishing the Sword of Light and engaging in a fierce battle with the puppet. His sword moves were sharp, and each strike left a deep mark on the puppet.

The dream clone used the dream technique to interfere with the puppets' movements, causing them to fall into an illusory dream, and their movements became slow and chaotic.

The time clone seized the opportunity and swung the time sword, speeding up the flow of time and instantly increasing the attack speed of the light clone several times, smashing the group of puppets into pieces in a short time.

Continuing to go deeper into the ruins, they came to a huge hall. In the center of the hall was a stone platform, on which sat a crystal ball emitting a mysterious light.

The light clone tried to approach the stone platform, but was blocked by an invisible barrier. The dream clone tried to use the power of dreams to penetrate the barrier, but found that it was extremely strong.

After thinking for a moment, the Time Clone said, "Perhaps we need to combine the power of the three swords to break this barrier."

So, the Light Clone, the Dream Clone and the Time Clone stood in front of the barrier, raised the Sword of Light, the Dream Sword and the Time Sword at the same time, circulated the power in their bodies, and slowly merged the power of the three swords together.

As the power merged, a brilliant light shot towards the barrier. Under the impact of the light, the barrier began to crack and eventually shattered.
