Fantasy: The Counterattack of the Female Sovereign

With the destruction of the altar, the power within the secret realm began to disarray, but the Crystal of Wisdom in Song Yao's hand grew brighter. The soft blue light not only illuminated her face but also penetrated her body, blending with her perception and bringing about unprecedented changes.

Song Yao closed her eyes, feeling the power of the Crystal of Wisdom coursing through her. She could feel her perception amplified infinitely. Every gust of wind, every sound, even the magical fluctuations in the air, became incredibly clear to her. She could almost hear the rustling of plants growing and sense the heartbeats of distant beasts.

"This...what is this?" Song Yao looked at her hands in surprise. She could feel the crystal of wisdom perfectly integrated with her nervous system, and her perception ability was improved unprecedentedly.

Hao Jin and Ye Gongzi stood beside her, and they could also feel the changes in Song Yao. Hao Jin asked with concern: "Song Yao, how do you feel?"

Song Yao opened her eyes, the light of the Crystal of Wisdom gleaming in them. She smiled and said, "I feel... better than ever before. The Crystal of Wisdom seems to have enhanced my perception. I can sense more things now."

Master Ye asked curiously, "What can you sense? Have you made any new discoveries?"

Song Yao smiled slightly, closed her eyes, and concentrated. After a moment, she opened her eyes, pointed in a direction, and said, "Over there, about a mile away, there's a hidden cave. There's something we need in the cave."

Hao Jin and Master Ye exchanged a glance and decided to follow Song Yao. Led by Song Yao, the three of them crossed the forest and arrived at a hidden cave entrance. A faint glow emanated from the cave, clearly hiding some secret.

Song Yao entered the cave first, followed closely by Hao Jin and Master Ye. The interior of the cave was much larger than it appeared from the outside, with glowing minerals inlaid on the walls, illuminating the entire cave. In the center of the cave stood a stone platform, upon which lay an ancient book and some strange objects.

Song Yao stepped forward, feeling the powerful power within these objects. She carefully picked up the ancient book, its pages engraved with intricate runes, and sensed the rich knowledge and power within.

"This is an ancient book that records the history of the secret realm." Song Yao flipped through the book. She could feel the knowledge in the book flowing into her mind. "It records the origin of the secret realm and some ancient secrets."

Hao Jin and Master Ye also gathered around, looking at the runes on the ancient book. Although they couldn't understand them, they could feel the power contained in them. Master Ye curiously picked up a strange object, a small statue carved with a mysterious creature.

"This thing... I feel it has something to do with my swordsmanship." As Master Ye said this, the statue in his hand suddenly emitted light and resonated with the sword in his hand.

Song Yao and Hao Jin watched this scene in amazement, realizing that these items might be closely linked to their fate. Song Yao continued to flip through the ancient books, hoping to find more information about these items.

As Song Yao flipped through the pages, the runes in the ancient books began to glow, forming pictures that showed the origins and uses of these items. It turned out that these items were left behind by the guardians of the secret realm, and each one possessed special powers.

That ancient book was not only a historical record, but also a secret manual of cultivation. It recorded an ancient cultivation method that could greatly enhance the practitioner's power. And those strange items were the key to practicing this method.

Song Yao and the other two realized that they might have found the key to increasing their strength. They decided to practice in the cave, using the knowledge in these items and ancient books to increase their strength.

Under Song Yao's guidance, Hao Jin and Ye Gongzi began to practice. They could feel their strength gradually improving, and those strange items also played an important role in their practice.

However, just as they were practicing, there was a sudden commotion outside the cave. Song Yao's perception immediately alerted her, and she could sense that a powerful enemy was approaching.

"Someone is coming, and...very powerful." Song Yao stood up, her eyes flashing with vigilance.

Hao Jin and Master Ye also stopped practicing immediately, gripping their weapons tightly, ready to face the approaching enemy. The atmosphere in the cave suddenly became tense.

At this moment, a figure suddenly appeared at the entrance of the cave. It was a mysterious man in a black robe, with a sneer in his eyes, as if mocking the powerlessness of Song Yao and the other two.

"Do you think finding these items will increase your power?" The mysterious man's voice was full of sarcasm. "You are too naive. Only I can master these powers."

As he finished speaking, the light in the cave suddenly dimmed, and a powerful pressure enveloped the entire cave. Song Yao and the other two felt an unprecedented crisis. They knew that the power of this mysterious man was far beyond their imagination.

"We must join forces to fight him." Song Yao tightly grasped the Crystal of Wisdom. She could feel the power in the crystal resonating with her will. "Crystal of Wisdom, grant me strength."

The Crystal of Wisdom shone brightly, and Song Yao's perception was enhanced again. She could clearly sense the mysterious man's weakness. She instructed Hao Jin and Master Ye, and the three of them joined forces to prepare for the attack.

However, the mysterious man was too powerful, and his attack put Song Yao and the other two in a difficult battle. Although their combined strength could hold out for a while, as time went on, their strength began to gradually deplete.

"We can't go on like this." Song Yao was secretly anxious in her heart. She knew that they had to find a new way to fight this mysterious man.

At this moment, the Crystal of Wisdom in her hand suddenly emitted a strong light, and a new power surged into her body. Song Yao felt that her perception ability had increased again. She could sense the flow of the mysterious man's power and even predict his next move.

"Now!" Song Yao shouted loudly. She used the power of the Crystal of Wisdom to predict the mysterious man's attack and successfully guided Hao Jin and Master Ye to avoid his fatal blow.

The mysterious man looked at Song Yao in surprise. He didn't expect Song Yao to be able to predict his attack. Song Yao and the other two took the opportunity to launch a counterattack. Although their attack could not seriously injure the mysterious man, it did succeed in making him retreat a few steps.

In the fierce battle, Song Yao's perception ability continued to awaken, and she could feel her strength growing. She began to try to use the power of the Crystal of Wisdom to guide the attacks of Hao Jin and Ye Gongzi, and their cooperation became more and more tacit.

Although the mysterious man is powerful, he begins to feel pressured by the joint efforts of Song Yao and the other two. He realizes that Song Yao's power should not be underestimated, and he must adopt a new strategy to fight them.

The battle continued, and Song Yao and the other two gradually gained the upper hand with the help of the Crystal of Wisdom. However, just as they were about to launch the final attack, a sudden vibration came from the depths of the cave, and a more powerful force was awakening.

Song Yao, the other two, and the mysterious man were all shocked by this power. They stopped fighting and looked warily into the depths of the cave. A huge figure slowly emerged from the shadows of the cave, its eyes gleaming with an ancient light, and its voice echoed through the cave like thunder.

"Outsiders, you have disturbed my slumber," the ancient creature said. "Now, you will pay the price."

Song Yao and the other two faced this powerful creature, knowing that they would face even more severe challenges. Meanwhile, the mysterious man was watching in secret, seemingly waiting for an opportunity.

Song Yao held the Crystal of Wisdom tightly. She could feel the power in the crystal resonating with her will. She knew that she had to use the power of the Crystal of Wisdom to find a way to defeat this powerful creature.

The atmosphere in the cave is tense again, and a new battle is about to begin. How will Song Yao and the other two face this powerful creature? And what actions will the mysterious man take? All of this is still unknown, but they are ready.
