Traveling through the world of immortal cultivation: My system is amazing

"...filled with doubts and worries." Xiao Bei spoke slowly, his voice low, "I've never seen a rune like this before. It exudes a strange aura. I'm worried..."

"What are you worried about?" Bei Li asked, her clear eyes reflecting Xiao Bei's figure.

Xiao Bei clenched the rune, "I'm worried that there's a bigger conspiracy behind this, a conspiracy against us, or even the entire fairy world." He looked at Bei Li with a firm gaze, "I must get to the bottom of this."

At this time, Elder Xingchen and Xuanfeng also rushed over.

Elder Stardust took the rune from Xiao Bei's hand, looked at it carefully, and his gray eyebrows twisted into a knot.

"This is a trace of an ancient forbidden technique." He said in a deep voice, with a hint of solemnity in his tone, "It seems that things are more complicated than we imagined."

Xuan Feng stroked his chin and said, "I once saw a similar rune in an ancient book. It is said that this rune can control people's hearts and even control monsters."

Xiao Bei's heart trembled. Controlling monsters?

Could it be that the monster that attacked them before was also controlled?

So, who is the mastermind behind this?

What is his purpose?

"We must find the mastermind as soon as possible." Xiao Bei said in a firm tone.

"This rune may be able to guide us." Elder Stardust said, he placed the rune in his palm and activated his immortal power.

The rune emitted a faint black light and pointed in one direction.

"Follow me." Elder Stardust took the lead, and the four flew in the direction indicated by the rune.

They came to a desolate place, and the air was filled with the smell of decay.

The rune's light grew stronger and stronger, eventually pointing to a cave hidden among the rocks.

The cave was dark and damp, and emitted a disgusting stench.

The four of them entered the cave cautiously, observing their surroundings vigilantly.

Suddenly, there was a movement deep in the cave.

Immediately afterwards, a group of hideous puppets rushed out from the darkness, with strange red light flashing in their eyes. They waved their weapons and attacked the four people frantically.

Xiao Bei drew his sword from its sheath, and the sword flashed like lightning, cutting the puppet in the front into two pieces.

Beili used his magic, and golden light shot out, repelling the puppet.

Elder Stardust and Xuanfeng also joined the battle, and the four of them fought fiercely with the puppets.

Although the puppets had no sense of pain, they were fearless and rushed forward one after another.

The dull sound of collision and the hoarse roars of the puppets echoed in the cave.

"These puppets seem to be controlled by someone." Elder Stardust said while fending off the puppets' attacks, "We must find the source of control before we can completely eliminate them."

"Leave it to me." Xuan Feng smiled confidently, "Tracking is my strong point." After that, he flashed and disappeared into the darkness.

Xiao Bei and Bei Li continued to fight fiercely with the puppets. Bei Li winked playfully and said, "Xiao Bei, it seems that our cooperation is becoming more and more tacit."

Xiao Bei smiled slightly, "Yeah." He swung his sword and cut off the head of a puppet, then said, "Be careful!"

A puppet took advantage of Xiao Bei's unpreparedness and attacked him from the side.

Beili was quick-eyed and quick-handed, and a golden light shot out, knocking the puppet away.

"Thank you, Beili." Xiao Bei said gratefully.

"You're welcome." Beili smiled sweetly, "It's my duty to protect you."

Suddenly, a loud noise came from deep in the cave, followed by a powerful energy wave.

"Not good!" Elder Xingchen's expression changed, "Xuanfeng is in danger!"

Xiao Bei and Bei Li looked at each other.

"Let's go take a look." Xiao Bei said, and then he and Bei Li ran towards the depths of the cave...

Elder Stardust followed closely behind, his expression grave as he whispered, "I hope it's not too late..."

Xiao Bei and Bei Li followed the energy fluctuations and ran towards the depths of the cave. The air was filled with a strong smell of blood. The stone walls of the cave were engraved with strange runes, emitting a faint red light, making everything around them look eerie and terrifying.

Xiao Bei felt an inexplicable sense of oppression, as if an invisible hand was strangling his throat, making it difficult for him to breathe.

He felt like he was groping in the dark, with every step full of unknowns. This fear of the unknown made him anxious.

His brows were furrowed, and every time he swung his sword, there was a hint of anxiety. The sword tip made a sharp whistling sound as it cut through the air, but it could not dispel the haze that shrouded his heart.

The air around seemed to freeze, making it suffocating.

Bei Li noticed something strange about Xiao Bei. She dodged the puppet's attacks nimbly while looking at Xiao Bei with concern.

Suddenly, she deliberately exposed a flaw and let a puppet approach her.

Seeing this, Xiao Bei became extremely anxious and rushed over without thinking. The sword in his hand turned into a silver light and split the puppet in half.

"Beili, are you okay?" he asked anxiously, with a hint of trembling in his tone.

Beili winked playfully, a sly smile on her lips.

"I'm fine, look." As soon as she finished speaking, a powerful energy wave burst out from her body, and golden light instantly enveloped the entire cave, as dazzling as the midday sun.

The surrounding puppets were as fragile as paper in the face of this powerful force and turned to ashes in an instant.

Only then did Xiao Bei understand Bei Li's intention. He shook his head helplessly, but couldn't help but smile with relief.

Beili's strength far exceeds his, but he always can't help but worry about her. This subconscious desire to protect her makes him feel a sweet burden.

Deep in the cave, Xuanfeng was trapped in a huge formation that emitted a frightening black light. Countless black runes were flying in the air, like the claws of evil spirits, constantly eroding Xuanfeng's protective energy.

He was pale, with a trace of blood oozing from the corner of his mouth. He was obviously seriously injured.

This was the scene that Elder Stardust saw when he arrived.

His expression was solemn, and he waved the whisk in his hand. A ray of golden light shot towards the formation, trying to break the restraint of the formation.

"Xuanfeng, hold on!" he said in a deep voice, with a hint of anxiety in his tone.

Xiao Bei and Bei Li also rushed to the scene. Seeing Xuan Feng in danger, they were both filled with worry.

Bei Li clenched his fists, a trace of anger flashing in his eyes, "Who set up this formation? How dare you be so arrogant!"

Xiao Bei's eyes were as sharp as torches as he scanned the surrounding environment. Finally, his gaze fell on a huge rock deep in the cave.

The surface of the rock is as smooth as a mirror, reflecting a strange light, as if hiding some secret.

"There!" Xiao Bei pointed at the rock and said, "I feel a strong energy fluctuation. The mastermind must be hiding there!"

Elder Xingchen followed Xiao Bei's gaze, his brow furrowed. "It seems we must first break this formation before we can find the mastermind behind this..." Before he finished speaking, the rock suddenly cracked, and a figure walked out from it...

The rock cracked, and a figure in a black cloak walked out. The hood covered his face, making it impossible to see his expression.

A cold aura emanated from him, making people shudder.

He slowly raised his head, revealing a pair of scarlet eyes, like a demon from hell, terrifying.

After the puppet was destroyed, silence returned to the cave. Only the sound of dripping water echoed in the empty cave, like the footsteps of death, knocking on everyone's heart one by one.

The path leading to the clue was blocked by a transparent barrier, with complex runes flowing on the barrier, emitting a suffocating pressure.

Xiao Bei took a deep breath, mobilized all his spiritual power, and slapped the barrier with one palm.

"Boom!" With a loud noise, the barrier did not move at all. The powerful recoil force knocked Xiao Bei away. He fell heavily to the ground, spurting out a mouthful of blood, staining the ground red.

He struggled to stand up, but his body couldn't stop shaking. The world in front of him was blurry and his ears were buzzing, as if countless bees were flying in his mind.

Seeing this, Bei Li's heart tightened and he ran to Xiao Bei and supported him.

"Xiao Bei, how are you?" she asked anxiously, with a hint of trembling in her voice.

Her slender fingers gently wiped the blood from the corner of Xiao Bei's mouth. The air around them seemed to solidify, so heavy that it was suffocating.

Beili looked at Xiao Bei gently, her eyes full of affection and charm.

Xiao Bei stared at Bei Li, feeling the warmth of her fingertips. Her love was like a trickle of water, slowly flowing into his heart and warming his cold body.

He held Beili's hand and gently stroked the back of her hand, feeling the delicacy and softness of her skin.

Beili snuggled into Xiao Bei's arms, feeling the sense of security brought by his broad chest.

An ambiguous atmosphere spread between the two people, and the cold air in the cave seemed to become warm.

Seeing this, Elder Xingchen and Xuanfeng tactfully turned their heads away to give them some private space.

Bei Li buried her head in Xiao Bei's chest and whispered, "Xiao Bei, promise me that you won't take such risks again, okay?" Her voice was soft but with a hint of firmness, caressing Xiao Bei's heart like a feather.

Xiao Bei gently hugged Bei Li and whispered in her ear: "Don't worry, I'll be fine." His voice was low and hoarse, with a hint of fatigue, but full of strength.

He raised his head, staring firmly at the restriction, thinking to himself, "No matter what, I must find the truth!"

At this moment, Xuan Feng's voice broke the silence in the cave, "I found a way to break the ban..."

Xuanfeng pointed at an inconspicuous rune on the barrier and said excitedly: "This rune is the key to the formation. As long as we inject immortal power into it, we can destroy the balance of the formation and break the restriction!" Elder Xingchen stroked his beard and nodded, looking at Xuanfeng approvingly.

The two stood side by side and injected their immortal power into the rune at the same time.

The runes emitted a dazzling light, and the barrier began to tremble violently, making a buzzing sound, like a dying beast making its last wail.

With a crisp cracking sound, the barrier collapsed and turned into starlight that dissipated into the air.

Behind the barrier, there was a stone platform. On the platform was an ancient book with three ancient seal characters engraved on the cover - "Tianjilu".

Xiao Bei carefully picked up the ancient book and brushed off the dust on it. A faint scent of sandalwood wafted into his nose.

He slowly turned the pages of the book and saw that it was densely covered with various mysterious runes and spells, including the mysterious mark they had encountered before.

"Found it!" Xiao Bei said excitedly, with a hint of trembling in his voice.

He carefully read the records in ancient books and discovered that this mysterious mark was an ancient forbidden technique that could control people's hearts, manipulate monsters and beasts, and even subvert the entire fairy world!

The purpose of the mastermind behind this is to use this forbidden technique to control the entire fairy world!

"We must stop him!" Beili clenched his fists.

Elder Xingchen and Xuanfeng also nodded solemnly.

According to ancient records, they found a cave hidden behind a waterfall.

The entrance to the cave is covered by dense vines, and it is difficult to detect its existence without careful observation.

The cave was pitch black, and you couldn't see your hand in front of you. A cold and damp smell hit you in the face, mixed with a faint smell of blood, which was nauseating.

Xiao Bei and others lit torches and walked into the cave cautiously.

The cave twists and turns like a maze, and every step is full of unknown dangers.

Water drops dripped along the top of the cave, making a "tick, tick" sound, which was particularly clear in the silent cave, as if it was the footsteps of the god of death, knocking on everyone's heart one by one.

Suddenly, a cold wind blew from the depths of the cave, and the torches swayed violently, as if they would go out at any time.

The temperature around them dropped suddenly, and a biting chill came over them. Even Xiao Bei and others who possessed immortal powers could not help but shiver.

Xiao Bei looked into the depths of the cave, a glint of determination flashing in his eyes... "Let's go!"
