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

Xiao Bei stood in front of the huge stone gate, his eyes fixed on the intricate runes on it.

These runes twisted like tadpoles, flashing a faint cold light, as if containing some ancient and mysterious power.

He stretched out his hand and lightly touched the cold surface of the stone door with his fingertips. A strange energy wave instantly spread throughout his body, making him shiver.

"These runes... I have never seen them before." Xiao Bei withdrew his hand, frowning, with a hint of doubt in his tone.

Beili, Mo Yuan, Tianjizi, and Lingfeng, who was gradually recovering his strength, also gathered around, their eyes all falling on the stone gate.

Everyone looked confused. The strangeness and mystery of the runes on the stone gate made them feel an inexplicable sense of oppression.

The air seemed to freeze, and a tense atmosphere spread among everyone.

Suddenly, a cold wind blew in from deep inside the stone gate, bringing with it a biting chill.

A tall figure slowly emerged from the darkness behind the stone gate. His figure was shrouded in shadows, and his face could not be seen clearly. Only a pair of eyes flashing with a faint green light could be seen, as chilling as will-o'-the-wisp.

"Anyone who trespasses into the forbidden area will be killed!" The low and hoarse voice was like a verdict from hell, with unquestionable majesty.

A powerful pressure emanated from the figure, pressing down on Xiao Bei and others like a mountain.

Everyone suddenly found it difficult to breathe, and their bodies seemed to be imprisoned and unable to move.

"Who are you?" Xiao Bei gritted his teeth, trying hard to resist this powerful pressure, and asked in a deep voice.

"I am the guardian of the Stone Gate, and I have guarded this place for ten thousand years. You should leave quickly, otherwise, don't blame me for being ruthless!" The voice of the Stone Gate Guardian was cold and ruthless, without a trace of emotion.

"We just want to understand the meaning of these runes. We have no ill intentions." Xiao Bei tried to explain.

"The secret of the runes is not something you mortals can spy on. Get out!" The guardian of the stone gate spoke in a firm tone, leaving no room for negotiation.

Xiao Bei felt the powerful force emanating from the guardian of the stone gate, but he was unwilling to leave just like that. These runes were probably closely related to Bei Li's life experience and the purpose of their trip.

Just as Xiao Bei was hesitating, Tianjizi suddenly stepped forward and said, "Guardian, I am Tianjizi, a wise man of the immortal race. I am proficient in ancient and modern runes. Perhaps I can..."

Before he could finish his words, the Stone Gate Guardian suddenly interrupted him: "Shut up! No one is allowed to approach the Stone Gate!" He suddenly raised one hand, and a powerful energy wave instantly erupted...

"you!"

Before Tianjizi finished speaking, the tadpole-like runes on the stone gate suddenly twisted violently, emitting a dazzling white light.

The white light shot straight at Tianjizi like a sharp sword. He groaned, spit out blood, and staggered to the ground.

He covered his chest in pain, his face was pale as paper, and beads of sweat rolled down his forehead.

There was a faint smell of blood in the air, which mixed with the cold air emanating from the stone gate, making people feel sick.

Xiao Bei's heart suddenly tightened, he rushed to Tianjizi and supported his trembling body.

"Senior Tianjizi!" he shouted anxiously, his voice full of worry.

Tianjizi's pain formed a sharp contradiction with his desire to unravel the secret of the stone gate. He felt powerless, and the air around him seemed to solidify, making it difficult for him to breathe.

At this moment, Beili suddenly stepped forward. Undeterred by the Stone Gate Guardian's powerful aura, she stared directly into his deep green eyes and said firmly, "Guardian, we mean no harm. We are simply searching for something important. If you know anything, please let us know. We would be deeply grateful."

Her voice was clear and pleasant, standing out in this cold space.

The guardian of the stone gate seemed to be startled by her actions. His dark green eyes narrowed slightly and he looked Beili up and down.

The pressure from him weakened slightly, and the tense atmosphere around them also eased a little.

"Who... are you?" There was a hint of doubt in the stone gate guardian's low voice.

Bei Li took a deep breath and was about to answer when the Stone Gate Guardian suddenly turned to look at Xiao Bei. "Even so, those who trespass into the forbidden area must pay the price!" He suddenly raised a hand, and a powerful energy wave erupted again...

"stop!"

Before the Stone Gate Guardian finished his words, a sharp beam of energy shot out from his hand and headed straight for Xiao Bei's face.

Xiao Bei's eyes narrowed, and he quickly protected Bei Li behind him, while a golden barrier condensed in his hands.

The energy beam hit the barrier with a deafening roar and a dazzling golden light.

The strong impact made Xiao Bei take a few steps back, and his arms felt slightly numb.

Bei Li tightly grasped Xiao Bei's sleeve, her eyes full of worry, yet with a hint of determination.

She knew that Xiao Bei would definitely protect her, just like every time before.

"Lingfeng, Mo Yuan, let's attack together!" Xiao Bei shouted in a low voice, with fighting spirit burning in his eyes.

Although Lingfeng's injuries had not healed yet, he didn't care about much at this moment. He waved the sword in his hand, and sharp sword energy rushed straight towards the guardian.

Mo Yuan formed seals with his hands and muttered something. Mysterious runes flew out from his hands and surrounded the guardian like dancing fireflies, trying to interfere with his actions.

The guardian's strength was far beyond their imagination. Even if three people joined forces, it would be difficult to gain the upper hand.

His figure was like a ghost, shuttling back and forth among their attacks, and each move was carried with devastating power.

Inside the cave, rock chips flew everywhere, echoes echoed, and the air was filled with a strong smell of gunpowder.

Xiao Bei always kept Bei Li behind him during the battle. Every attack was carefully calculated, so that he could protect himself and Bei Li while looking for opportunities to counterattack.

Beili looked at Xiao Bei's resolute back, her eyes full of love and trust.

She knew that no matter what happened, Xiao Bei would be by her side, protecting her and never leaving her.

"Xiao Bei, be careful!" Ling Feng suddenly shouted.

Xiao Bei turned around suddenly and saw that the guardian had appeared behind him at some point, with a black energy ball in his hand, smashing towards him fiercely.

Unable to dodge, Xiao Bei had to take the blow head-on.

The energy ball hit him with a dull thud, and he flew backwards like a kite with a broken string, falling heavily to the ground, spurting blood from his mouth.

"Xiao Bei!" Bei Li exclaimed, and rushed to Xiao Bei desperately, with tears flashing in her eyes.

"How are you?"

Xiao Bei struggled to sit up, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and forced a smile: "I'm fine, don't worry."

"We can't go on like this. We must find his weakness!" Mo Yuan said solemnly.

He carefully observed the Guardian's every move, trying to find his flaws.

Suddenly, his eyes fell on the runes on the stone gate.

When the Guardian launches an attack, those runes will emit a faint light, as if they are somehow connected to the source of his power.

"Could it be..." A gleam of light flashed in Mo Yuan's eyes, "The source of his power is..."

Mo Yuan's gaze was fixed on the stone gate. In his eyes, those tadpole-like runes were no longer meaningless symbols, but a source of enormous energy.

He pointed to a rune in the center of the stone gate and said hurriedly, "Look there! That's the Guardian's power core!"

Xiao Bei followed Mo Yuan's guidance and saw that the rune was brighter than the other runes, flashing with dazzling golden light, like a beating heart, continuously providing power to the guardian.

"If I can destroy that rune..." Xiao Bei's eyes flashed, and he already had an idea in his mind.

He took a deep breath and concentrated the immortal power in his body into his palm. A golden light gradually condensed and took shape in his hand.

He suddenly leaped up and slammed the rune in the center of the stone gate.

"Stop! How dare you!" The guardian noticed Xiao Bei's intention, roared, and tried to stop him.

But Xiao Bei was faster, and the golden palm print hit the rune like lightning.

There was a loud "bang", and the stone door began to tremble violently. The dazzling light instantly illuminated the entire cave.

The guardian let out a painful wail, and the dark green light on his body gradually dimmed, and the powerful pressure disappeared.

Xiao Bei took advantage of the victory and joined forces with Ling Feng and Mo Yuan to suppress the guardian whose power was declining.

The guardian struggled and roared, but was powerless to resist.

His dark green eyes were filled with resentment and anger. Finally, he collapsed to the ground and turned into a cloud of black smoke and disappeared.

The runes on the stone gate gradually returned to calm and no longer flashed with strange light.

"Xiao Bei, you are so awesome!" Bei Li excitedly threw herself into Xiao Bei's arms, her eyes full of admiration.

"Yes, Xiao Bei, thanks to you, we were able to escape danger." Ling Feng also praised sincerely.

"All this is thanks to the guidance of Tianjizi and Mo Yuan." Xiao Bei said modestly.

Although he knew his actions were crucial, he did not take credit for them.

Mo Yuan looked at Xiao Bei. He didn't expect that this seemingly ordinary young man actually had such keen insight and decisive action.

The air around him seemed to become lively because of Xiao Bei's wisdom, and admiring glances came like a tide.

Xiao Bei walked towards the stone gate, stretched out his hand, and gently touched the cold surface of the stone gate.

The moment his fingertips touched the stone door, a huge vortex suddenly appeared on the stone door, spinning and emitting a dazzling light, as if it was about to swallow Xiao Bei in...

"Xiao Bei!" Bei Li exclaimed.
