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

The golden sunlight poured down, giving Xiao Bei a layer of sacred glow.

He stood on the ruins, like a god descending from heaven, enjoying the glory of victory.

However, this glory was fleeting like a flash in the pan.

"Xiao Bei, your hand!" Bei Li's exclamation broke the peace and shattered the joy in Xiao Bei's heart.

He slowly lowered his head and looked at his right hand.

I saw a black rune appear on the back of my hand at some point, like a twisted poisonous snake, winding and emitting a heart-pounding ominous aura.

The skin around the rune was a sickly grayish-white, contrasting sharply with his healthy wheat-colored complexion, as if a piece of rotten meat was embedded in fresh flesh.

Xiao Bei's heart sank, and a chill ran from the soles of his feet to the top of his head.

He knew that this was a curse left by a powerful dark figure. It was like a cancer, lurking in his body, waiting for an opportunity to strike.

He mobilized his immortal power and tried to explore this strange rune.

However, the moment his immortal power touched the rune, it was like a drop in the ocean, and was instantly swallowed up.

Not only that, he also felt a strong backlash force that quickly spread along his arms and reached his heart.

"Hmm..." Xiao Bei groaned, his expression instantly becoming solemn.

This curse is more powerful than he imagined, and can even devour his immortal power!

Bei Li was extremely anxious. She held Xiao Bei's hand tightly, her eyes full of worry: "Xiao Bei, how are you? How can I help you break this damn curse?" There was a hint of trembling in her words, and tears welled up in her clear eyes.

At this moment, a figure came rushing over. It was the highly respected Elder Xuanfeng in the fairy world.

He stroked his long beard and looked solemnly at the black rune on the back of Xiao Bei's hand. He said in a deep voice: "This is the ancient curse 'Shadow Curse'. It is extremely ancient and powerful. I'm afraid it is related to the ancient dark forces."

"Ancient dark forces?" Xiao Bei frowned, "Could it be those sealed evil demons?"

"It's very likely." Elder Xuanfeng nodded. "This 'Cursed Shadow' is extremely difficult to deal with. Once contaminated, it will gradually erode the host's immortal power, eventually reducing it to an empty shell."

Hearing these words, Beili's face turned even paler. She held Xiao Bei's hand tightly, as if to pull him back from the abyss.

"Elder, is there any way to break this?" Xiao Bei asked anxiously.

Elder Xuanfeng pondered for a moment and said slowly, "There is a way to crack it, but it will take some time to find it."

"Time?" Xiao Bei's heart tightened. "This curse is eroding my strength. I can't wait too long."

"Xiao Bei, calm down," Elder Xuanfeng advised. "It's especially important to stay calm during times like this. If you act rashly, it will only worsen the curse."

"But I..." Xiao Bei wanted to say something, but was interrupted by a sudden sharp pain.

He felt as if the runes on the back of his hand had come alive, like countless steel needles piercing into his flesh. The intense pain made him groan.

Beili looked at him with heartache, her eyes full of helplessness.

How she wished she could bear this pain for him, but she could do nothing.

Xiao Bei endured the pain, sat down cross-legged, and tried to suppress the spread of the curse.

However, the power of the curse grew stronger and stronger, and the flow of the immortal energy in his body became increasingly sluggish, as if it were bound by an invisible shackle.

As time passed, Xiao Bei's face became paler and paler, and beads of sweat covered his forehead.

He felt like a small boat drifting in a storm, which could capsize at any time.

"Am I just going to sit here and wait for death?" Xiao Bei felt powerless. He had never felt so desperate as he did now.

Elder Xuanfeng has been reading ancient books, looking for a way to break the curse.

Finally, he found a clue.

"According to ancient records, there is a magical herb called 'Soul Purifying Grass' that can purify all filth in the world. Perhaps it can be used to restrain 'Cursed Shadow'," said Elder Xuanfeng. "But this 'Soul Purifying Grass' grows in an extremely dangerous ancient ruin. Obtaining it is not easy."

"Oh my god!" Xiao Bei stood up suddenly.

"Xiao Bei, your body..." Bei Li looked at him worriedly.

"I'm fine." Xiao Bei endured the pain and said, "I must live, for you and for the fairy world."

Elder Xuanfeng looked at Xiao Bei's determined eyes, his heart filled with admiration.

He knew that Xiao Bei was ready and would not retreat no matter how many dangers lay ahead.

"Okay, let's go together." Elder Xuanfeng said.

So, Xiao Bei, Bei Li and Elder Xuan Feng embarked on a journey to the ancient ruins.

The ancient ruins are located in a barren desert, and the entrance is hidden under a huge sand dune.

After the three entered the ruins, they found that it was full of various mechanisms, traps and guardian beasts.

Although Xiao Bei was cursed, he still showed great strength.

With his strong perseverance, he resolved crises time and time again and helped Elder Xuanfeng find the area where the "Soul Purifying Grass" was located.

"It's right in front." Elder Xuanfeng said, pointing to a tightly closed stone door in front.

Xiao Bei took a deep breath and slowly walked towards the stone gate... Suddenly, a low roar came from deep inside the stone gate, and the ground shook violently.

Deep in the stone gate, a deafening roar exploded like thunder, and the ground shook violently, as if some huge monster was about to break out of the ground.

Xiao Bei and the other two were on full alert, their spiritual power surging, ready for battle.

Amidst the flying dust, a huge figure slowly emerged.

It was an ancient beast shaped like a giant bear, covered with thick black scales and shining with a metallic luster.

Its eyes were as red as blood, emitting a terrifying murderous light. Its fangs were intertwined in its mouth, dripping with sticky black liquid, emitting a foul stench.

The most frightening thing was the black air swirling around it, tightly wrapped around it like a maggot on the tarsal bone, emitting a disgusting smell of decay, which was surprisingly the same curse power as that on Xiao Bei!

"An ancient beast eroded by the cursed shadow!" Elder Xuanfeng's expression changed, and he said in a deep voice, "It seems that this ancient ruin has also been contaminated by the dark forces."

The ancient beast roared towards the sky, shaking the entire ruins.

It swung its huge claws violently, and attacked Xiao Bei and the other two with a fierce gust of wind.

Xiao Bei's immortal power was damaged, and his movements were not as agile as usual, so he could only barely dodge the fatal blow.

The giant claws scraped across his clothes, causing a burning pain.

The ancient beast's attack came like a violent storm. Xiao Bei was tired of dodging and gradually got more scars on his body.

He gritted his teeth, endured the pain, and thought to himself: "I can't fall down, I still have to protect Beili and the elders!"

Elder Xuanfeng continued to cast auxiliary spells to create opportunities for Xiao Bei.

Bei Li was anxiously watching the fight from a distance, cheering Xiao Bei on: "Xiao Bei, come on! You can do it!" Her voice was clear and firm, like a warm current, flowing into Xiao Bei's heart.

While Xiao Bei was dodging the attacks, he was also looking for the ancient beast's weaknesses.

He discovered that although the ancient beast was powerful, its attack method was relatively simple, and there would be a brief pause after each attack.

This is an opportunity!

When the ancient beast swung its claws to attack again, Xiao Bei did not dodge, but instead went forward to meet it.

At the moment when the giant claw was about to touch him, he turned his body to the side and narrowly avoided the attack.

At the same time, the fairy sword in his hand burst out with dazzling light and stabbed fiercely into the belly of the ancient beast.

"Roar!" The ancient beast let out a painful roar, and its huge body staggered backward.

Its abdomen was pierced by Xiao Bei's immortal sword, and black blood gushed out, emitting a disgusting fishy smell.

"Xiao Bei, are you okay?" Seeing this, Bei Li hurried over, his eyes full of worry.

Her slender fingers gently stroked the scars on Xiao Bei's face.

"I'm fine." Xiao Bei looked at Bei Li's concerned eyes, and a warm feeling surged in his heart.

He held Beili's hand, feeling the warmth of her palm, and his heart was filled with strength.

"Let's go quickly. Although this ancient beast is seriously injured, it is not dead yet." Elder Xuanfeng reminded.

The three of them did not dare to delay and immediately set off for the area where the Soul-Purifying Grass was located.

Finally, they found the Soul-Purifying Grass in a hidden cave.

This is a magical herb that is completely snow-white and emits a faint fragrance, as if it can purify all the filth in the world.

After getting the Soul-Purifying Grass, the three of them immediately returned the same way.

However, just as they were about to leave the ancient ruins, the ground suddenly shook violently, rocks above their heads fell one after another, and the entire ruins began to collapse.

"Oh no! The ruins are going to collapse!" Elder Xuanfeng exclaimed.

"Let's go!" Xiao Bei grabbed Bei Li and Elder Xuanfeng and ran towards the exit.

However, the collapse was happening faster than they had imagined.

Huge rocks fell like raindrops, blocking their way.

"Elder, take Beili and go first!" Xiao Bei pushed Beili towards Elder Xuanfeng, and turned around to block the falling boulders.

"Xiao Bei!" Bei Li exclaimed and wanted to rush over, but was stopped by Elder Xuanfeng.

"Trust him, he will be fine." Elder Xuanfeng said.

Xiao Bei was alone in resisting the falling rocks, and the pressure on him was increasing.

At this moment, the black runes on the back of his hand suddenly flickered, as if resonating with some power in the ancient ruins.

A powerful force surged out from the rune, enveloping him completely...

"Xiao Bei!" Bei Li's cry echoed in the collapsed ruins, but could not reach Xiao Bei's ears.

Xiao Bei felt as if he was in chaos, and everything around him became blurry.

He only heard an ancient and mysterious voice ringing in his ears: "You... are finally here..."
