Li Qiankun stood quietly, a gentle breeze brushing his cheeks, bringing a hint of coolness. He took a deep breath, his eyes revealing determination and resolve. He closed his eyes, silently chanted a mantra, and began to practice the "Bai Ze Guan Shu" technique of spiritual wandering.

As the incantation deepened, his consciousness gradually drifted away from his body, drifting into the distance. His mind seemed to have passed through layers of clouds and mist, traversing thousands of mountains and rivers, finally arriving at a mysterious place. Here, shrouded in mist and surrounded by towering peaks, it felt like a fairyland on earth. The stream flowing through the mountains was crystal clear, reflecting the blue sky and white clouds on its surface, and the air was filled with a faint fragrance.

In this fairyland-like land, Li Qiankun saw a figure. It was his long-cherished master, Gu Jiting. Dressed in a green robe and holding a long sword, Gu Jiting stood on the top of the mountain, like a moving painting.

"Master!" Li Qiankun bowed respectfully, his voice echoing in the valley, carrying a hint of excitement and admiration.

Gu Jiting turned around, looked at Li Qiankun, and smiled slightly, that smile full of warmth and kindness. "Li Qiankun, you are finally here." His voice was like a spring breeze, making Li Qiankun feel extremely cordial.

Li Qiankun nodded and unburdened his doubts and confusion to his master. He mentioned the mysterious monkeys and their impressive strength. Gu Jiting pondered for a moment before slowly speaking, "These monkeys are the guardians of the Twenty-Four Sections Tongtian Valley. They are powerful, skilled in concealment and attack. Your presence will undoubtedly attract their attention."

Li Qiankun was shocked when he heard this. He hadn't expected these monkeys to be so powerful, let alone the guardians of Tongtian Valley. He quickly asked, "Master, how should we respond?"

Gu Jiting smiled slightly, pulled out an ancient secret book from his sleeve, and handed it to Li Qiankun. "This is the result of my years of practice. It contains some coping strategies. But you must remember, no matter what difficulties you encounter, you must remain calm and alert. These monkeys are probably not ordinary monkeys."

Li Qiankun took the manual, his eyes gleaming with determination. He knew the arduousness of this mission, but he also understood that only by remaining calm and vigilant could he find a breakthrough. He whispered, "Master, these monkeys must be guarding something extraordinary. We must find it."

Gu Jiting nodded and said in a deep voice, "That's right. But you must also remember that these monkeys are extremely ferocious. If you don't know them or can't subdue them, it's best to avoid conflict. After all, they are guarding the secrets of Tongtian Valley, and nothing can be lost."

Li Qiankun took his master's words to heart. He took a deep breath, his eyes gleaming with determination. He understood that this mission was not only about his own safety, but also about the survival of the entire team. He had to find a way to break through the monkey defenses before he could continue deeper into Tongtian Valley.

Back at camp, Li Qiankun shared his discovery and his master's warning with Hong Bin and the other three. They were all astonished, expressing their belief that these monkeys were truly extraordinary. Fu Chen said gravely, "These monkeys must have embarked on a spiritual path due to some kind of fate. Otherwise, how could they possess such formidable strength?"

Xia Mingyu also echoed, "That's right. Moreover, what they are guarding must be some kind of great opportunity. Otherwise, why would they fight so desperately?"

Li Qiankun took over the conversation, his eyes gleaming with anticipation: "Then how do we break through their defenses?"

Xia Mingyu suggested: "Just kill them directly?"

Hong Bin immediately retorted, "No! These monkeys are protected animals. We can't harm them at will. Otherwise, we will not only be punished by heaven, but will also attract the attention of other forces."

Li Qiankun nodded in agreement. "We really can't just kill them recklessly. Furthermore, since these monkeys are guarding some kind of opportunity, they must have some extraordinary qualities. We need to find a way to break through their defenses without harming them."

Everyone fell into deep thought. At this moment, Li Qiankun suddenly looked at Yingjie. Yingjie was the wisest of the team, proficient in various Qimen Dunjia techniques, and perhaps he could come up with a solution.

"Yingjie, do you have any ideas?" Li Qiankun asked.

Yingjie pondered for a moment and slowly spoke, "Since these monkeys can guard some kind of opportunity, they must have some connection with the opportunity. We can try to find this connection, and perhaps we can find a way to break through their defenses."

After hearing this, Li Qiankun's eyes gleamed. He understood that although Yingjie's words were simple, they contained profound truths. They couldn't just blindly attack the monkeys, but should find the connection between them and the opportunity, and thus find a way to break through.

So, everyone started to act separately. Li Qiankun and Hong Bin were responsible for observing the monkeys' behavior patterns and looking for their weaknesses; Fu Chen and Xia Mingyu were responsible for studying the geographical environment and climate characteristics of Tongtian Valley to find possible breakthroughs; and Yingjie was alone, using his Qimen Dunjia technique to try to find the connection between the monkeys and opportunity.

"We can't keep searching blindly like this. We must find clues related to the monkey and chance." Team leader Zhao Feng stood up and said with a firm gaze.

Everyone nodded in agreement. Zhao Feng was the soul of this five-man team. His wisdom and courage always enabled the team to find a way out of difficult situations.

"Let's split up, then. That way we'll be more efficient," suggested deputy team leader Li Qiankun. He was the team's brains, possessing unique insights into various mechanisms and runes.

"Okay, let's split up." Zhao Feng nodded in agreement and immediately assigned tasks to each person.

So, the group split up, each with their own mission, and ventured deep into the dense forest. They faced countless difficulties and challenges, sometimes climbing treacherous mountain paths, sometimes wading through turbulent rivers. But no matter how difficult the situation, they never gave up, knowing that only by finding the clues related to the monkeys and fate could they uncover the secrets of this mysterious land.

A few days later, Li Qiankun discovered a hidden cave in a secluded valley. The entrance was so tightly covered by vines that it would have been difficult to detect without careful searching. He carefully pushed aside the vines and entered the cave.

The cave was dark and damp, and the air was filled with an ancient and mysterious atmosphere. Li Qiankun lit a torch, illuminating the surroundings. A faint light flickered on the cave walls, seemingly telling an ancient story.
