The Land of the Earth

Song Chaoming slowly woke up from the cliff, his head still a little dizzy. He slowly opened his eyes, and the surroundings were pitch black, the thick darkness seemed to be able to swallow him up.

He tried to move his body, but felt sore all over, and every inch of his muscle was protesting.

At this time, Song Chaoming saw a faint light in front of him.

He endured the pain, stood up with difficulty, and stumbled forward. The light seemed like a beacon in the darkness, guiding him forward.

As he got closer, he saw a huge cave appear before his eyes.

The entrance to the cave is tall and wide, and the stone walls on both sides are engraved with mysterious runes and ancient patterns, as if telling a story from long ago.

Above it, there are five large characters "Guangming Huanmeng Mansion" engraved in a vigorous and dancing style, exuding an ancient and mysterious aura.

Suddenly, as if sensing the arrival of Song Chaoming, the uninvited guest, the door of the cave slowly opened on its own, and a stale smell blew in.

Song Chaoming hesitated for a moment, but finally plucked up the courage to go in.

As soon as he stepped in, the cave suddenly lit up, and the dazzling light made him subconsciously close his eyes.

After getting used to the light, he looked closely and saw two huge statues standing before him.

The statue of the King of Light is tall and majestic, with a posture as straight as a pine tree, as if it can support the entire world.

His face was resolute, and his lines were as if they were carved by a knife or an axe, full of power.

A pair of sword-like eyebrows slanted into his temples, and his eyes were as deep as the sea, which seemed to contain endless wisdom and majesty.

He wore a dazzling crown on his head, inlaid with countless sparkling gems, each of which emitted a mysterious light.

He was wearing a gorgeous golden robe with exquisite patterns embroidered on it. The patterns seemed alive and flickered with faint light.

The statue of the Queen of Dreams is soft and elegant, with a graceful figure and exquisite curves.

Her face was exquisitely beautiful, her skin was as white as snow and as smooth as a baby's. Her eyes were as dreamy as a fairy, as if they could make people fall into endless reverie.

Her long hair fell like a waterfall, dotted with stars of flowers, exuding a charming fragrance.

She wore a crown woven from crystals and pearls, and the crystals on the crown reflected colorful light.

She was wearing a lavender dress as thin as a cicada's wing, embroidered with a dreamy nebula pattern that flickered with the changing light.

Song Chaoming recalled what his teacher had said about the past of the Light Clan and the Dream Clan, and couldn't help wondering, "Could this be the ruins of the Light Clan and the Dream Clan?"

Just as his thoughts were in a state of confusion, suddenly, the two statues began to glow, and an illusory human figure appeared in the light.

The figure slowly spoke, "Finally, someone destined to be here has arrived." The voice seemed to come from ancient times, carrying with it endless vicissitudes of life.

Then, the King of Light and the King of Dreams began to recount the events of the past. Their voices were deep and heavy, as if they were recounting a series of tragic histories.

The two said in unison: "We are destined to be together, so we will pass on our power to you. We hope you can protect this world."

As soon as he finished speaking, two brilliant rays of light shot out from the statues of the two kings and rushed straight into Song Chaoming's body.

Song Chaoming only felt two unimaginably powerful forces surging in. His body trembled involuntarily, and a painful yet determined expression appeared on his face.

King of Light and King of Dreams looked at Song Chaoming, their eyes full of reluctance to leave. Their gazes seemed to have traveled through time and space, containing their attachment to this world and their expectations for Song Chaoming.

Then, a roaring sound was heard, and the Bright Dream Palace began to shake violently. The stone walls collapsed one after another, and rocks fell like rain. Song Chaoming didn't dare to stay and turned to run out of the cave.

Meanwhile, Jingyun and the others hurried back to the academy, their faces weary and worn. Their clothes were tattered, and their bodies bore traces of battle scars.

Jingyun's eyes were red and swollen, and she reported to the teacher what happened in the Desolate Valley Forest in a tearful voice: "Teacher, Song Chaoming lured the wolf demon away to save us. Now his life or death is unknown. Please send someone to rescue him immediately!"

Tianyuan, Feng Qi, and Chaoyun also gathered around and said anxiously, "Teacher, please, you must save Song Chaoming!"

After hearing this, the teacher frowned, a heavy expression on his face, and slowly said: "It may be too late. It is possible that Song Chaoming has already died."

When everyone heard this, their eyes widened, their faces filled with disbelief.

Jingyun shook her head desperately, tears streaming down her face: "No, no, teacher, you must save him, he won't die!"

Tian Yuan clenched his fists, his voice choked with sobs: "Teacher, we don't believe it. Song Chaoming is so powerful, he won't sacrifice himself easily!"

Feng Qi and Chao Yun also cried and said, "Teacher, please send someone to look for him, maybe he is still alive."

The teacher looked at their grief and said helplessly, "Please accept my condolences. I know you and Song Chaoming have a deep bond, but the forest is full of dangers. His chances of survival are slim."

However, everyone was still unwilling to believe this cruel fact, and the crying echoed in the academy for a long time.

After Song Chaoming emerged from the Bright Dream Palace, he used his newfound strength to soar upwards. When he reached the site of his earlier battle with the wolf demon, he discovered Jingyun and the others were gone. He glanced around, thinking, "Maybe they've already gone back."

Song Chaoming was about to turn around and return to the academy when suddenly, a group of wolf demons rushed out from the surrounding woods and surrounded him. The wolf demons bared their teeth, and their eyes revealed ferocity and greed.

Song Chaoming was not afraid at all. He raised the corners of his mouth, revealing a confident smile, and said, "It's just right, I want you to try my new power!" After that, he quickly formed seals with his hands, chanted a spell, and shouted loudly: "Sunlight Magic!" In an instant, a bright light burst out from his body, like a rising sun. Wherever the light reached, the wolf monsters howled in pain.

Song Chaoming did not stop and immediately chanted the spell again: "Dream Blade Technique!" Countless sharp blades condensed by the power of dreams appeared out of thin air and shuttled rapidly among the wolf monsters.

In just a moment, the wolf demons disappeared without even having time to react, leaving only a mess in their place.

After Song Chaoming eliminated the wolf demon, his figure flew towards the academy like lightning.

Soon, he flew in front of everyone and shouted, "Who said I was dead? I'm fine!"

The teacher was surprised. He walked up to him quickly, looked him up and down, and asked anxiously, "How could you still be alive?"

Song Chaoming smiled and replied, "I was rescued."

As soon as the words fell, Jingyun could no longer suppress her inner excitement. She rushed over and hugged Song Chaoming, saying in a tearful voice, "I'm glad you're back. I was scared to death."

She held Song Chaoming tightly with her arms, as if he would disappear again if she let go.

Song Chaoming patted Jingyun's back gently and comforted her, "Don't cry, I'm back safely."

Tianyuan, Feng Qi and Chaoyun also gathered around, their faces filled with joyful smiles.
