Transmigrating to become Hua Qiangu

Hua Qiangu led the alliance members, following the clues provided by Sha Qianmo and Dongfang Yuqing, to an ancient forest. This forest was filled with a mysterious atmosphere, with tall and dense trees, and sunlight filtering through the gaps in the leaves, creating patches of light.

Tang Bao followed closely beside Hua Qiangu, curiously looking around: "Mommy, this place feels so mysterious. Could the divine artifact be here?"

Hua Qiangu gently patted Tang Bao's head and said, "We're not sure yet, but the Shadow Cult has been active here before, so we might be able to find some clues. Everyone be careful, there might be dangers lurking in this forest."

Sect Leader Xuanfeng looked around with a solemn expression: "This forest seems to be shrouded in a mysterious power. We must be extra careful."

The group proceeded cautiously when suddenly, You Ruo pointed ahead and shouted, "Look, there's a dilapidated temple over there!"

Following the direction You Ruo pointed, everyone saw a temple looming in the woods. The temple walls were mottled, and several parts of the roof had collapsed, making it look very dilapidated.

“This temple might be related to a divine artifact. Let’s go take a look,” Hua Qiangu said.

When they approached the temple, they found the doors tightly shut, covered with strange runes.

“These runes are so complex, I’ve never seen them before,” Shuofeng said, frowning.

The patriarch stepped forward, carefully examined the runes, and said, "These runes seem to be an ancient seal. To open the temple gate, a specific method may be needed."

At this moment, Sha Qianmo said impatiently, "I don't care about any runes, I'll just split this door open!" With that, he raised his weapon and slashed at the temple door.

"Sister Sha, don't be impulsive!" Hua Qiangu hurriedly stopped her. "Since these runes exist, they must have a purpose. Destroying them rashly may cause danger."

Just when everyone was at a loss, Tangbao suddenly pointed to a pattern on the rune and said, "Mommy, this pattern looks a lot like the one I saw in a book in my space!"

Hua Qiangu's eyes lit up: "Really? Tang Bao, do you remember the description of this pattern in that book?"

Tang Bao tilted her head and thought for a moment, then said, "I remember the book said that this pattern is related to an ancient sacrificial ritual, and it may require specific items to activate the runes."

"A specific item? What could it be?" Ni Mantian asked疑惑地.

Everyone fell into deep thought. Suddenly, Dongfang Yuqing's eyes lit up: "Could it be the mysterious token we found at the Shadow Cult's stronghold before?"

“Yes! That token has a similar pattern,” Hua Qiangu said.

She took out the mysterious token from her spatial storage and, following Tang Bao's instructions, placed it in a specific position on the rune.

The runes emitted a burst of light, and the temple doors slowly opened.

"We did it!" Youruo shouted excitedly.

The group entered the temple, which was dark and damp, filled with an old and worn atmosphere. On the walls hung some tattered portraits depicting strange scenes and mysterious figures.

“These portraits seem to be telling a story,” Bai Zihua said.

Upon closer inspection, the group discovered that the portraits seemed to depict the origins of the artifacts and their former guardians.

"Look, in this portrait, there is a person holding a divine weapon, surrounded by a peaceful scene, while in the other portrait, darkness shrouds the earth, and the divine weapon seems to have been corrupted by the power of darkness," said Sect Leader Xuanfeng.

"So, the divine artifact was originally a treasure that protected the world of immortals and heroes, but it was later targeted by dark forces," Hua Qiangu said.

At the far end of the temple, they discovered a stone coffin. The coffin was covered with runes and patterns, faintly radiating a mysterious power.

"Could the divine artifact be inside this stone coffin?" Sha Qianmo asked.

“It’s possible, but we can’t open it easily,” Hua Qiangu said. “The runes on this stone coffin look very powerful, and opening it rashly might trigger a mechanism.”

At this moment, the adorable baby, who had been silent all along, flew out of the space and said, "Sister, I can sense a powerful force in this stone coffin, but this force is somewhat chaotic, as if it has been sealed for a long time."

"Baby, can you sense the nature of this power? Is it light or darkness?" Hua Qiangu asked.

The little one closed his eyes, sensed it for a while, and said, "This power is very complex. It has both a light side and a dark side, and they seem to be fighting against each other."

Everyone fell into deep thought after hearing what the adorable baby said.

"Perhaps this is the power of the divine artifact. It possesses immense power, but it became chaotic after being corrupted by dark forces," the patriarch said.

"Then what should we do?" Youruo asked.

After thinking for a moment, Hua Qiangu said, "We need to find a way to purify the dark power in the stone coffin before we can retrieve the divine artifact."

Just then, a commotion suddenly arose outside the temple.

"Something's coming!" Shuofeng said warily.

The group hurriedly left the temple, only to see a group of dark figures rushing out from the depths of the forest. These figures were agile and extremely fast, arriving before them in the blink of an eye.

Upon closer inspection, they turned out to be a group of demonic beasts controlled by dark forces. These beasts had bloodshot eyes, exuded a strong dark aura, and emitted low roars.

“They’re demonic beasts from the Shadow Cult! They must have sensed our arrival, so they sent these beasts to stop us,” Ni Mantian said.

"Hmph! These demonic beasts, let's see how I deal with them!" Sha Qianmo said, then rushed forward and engaged in battle with the demonic beasts.

The others also drew their weapons and fought against the monsters.

"Everyone be careful! These monsters are very fierce, and they seem to be able to coordinate with each other," Hua Qiangu shouted.

During the battle, Hua Qiangu discovered that although these demonic beasts were numerous, their attack methods were relatively simple.

“We can focus our attacks on their weaknesses and disrupt their coordination,” Hua Qiangu said.

After listening to Hua Qiangu's words, the group began to adjust their tactics. They concentrated their attacks on the heads and bellies of the demonic beasts, and soon several of them fell.

However, just when everyone thought victory was imminent, a gigantic monster emerged from the forest. This monster exuded an even stronger aura of darkness, its eyes gleamed with an eerie light, and it spewed forth a stream of black flames.

"This monster is so powerful!" You Ruo exclaimed.

"Everyone be careful, this monster might be the leader of this group," Bai Zihua said.

Looking at the enormous demonic beast, Hua Qiangu felt a surge of unwavering conviction: "No matter how powerful it is, we cannot back down! We must find the divine artifact and stop the Shadow Cult's conspiracy!"

After saying this, Hua Qiangu unleashed her strongest spell, attacking the enormous demonic beast. The others also unleashed their special skills, engaging in a fierce battle with the beast.

Will they be able to defeat this powerful monster during the battle? Will they be able to find a way to purify the dark power in the stone coffin and retrieve the divine artifact? Everything is still unknown, but their determination is as strong as steel, and they will steadfastly meet every challenge.
