Transmigrating to become Hua Qiangu

Hua Qiangu's magic, like dazzling light, swept towards the enormous demonic beast. "Watch me!" she shouted, her eyes filled with determination.

The enormous beast, however, showed no fear. It roared and spewed black flames from its mouth to meet Hua Qiangu's spell. In an instant, light and flame collided, producing a deafening sound.

"Everyone, attack together! We can't let this beast ruin our plans!" Sha Qianmo brandished his weapon and charged towards the monster like a red lightning bolt.

Ni Mantian followed closely behind, her sword gleaming coldly: "I want to see just how powerful this monster is!"

Not to be outdone, Tang Bao, though already in human form, was still agile. "Mother, I'll help too!" she shouted as she ran, casting small spells to try and disrupt the monster's movements.

Bai Zihua stood a little distance away, twirling his longsword a few times. "This demonic beast is quite powerful, everyone be careful and cooperate!"

Under the combined assault of the group, the enormous monster, though powerful, gradually became overwhelmed. It roared angrily, its dark aura growing stronger, and black flames spreading outwards.

"These flames are fierce! Everyone be careful not to get hit!" You Ru shouted as she dodged the flames.

Shuofeng calmly observed the monster's weaknesses, "Its legs seem to be its weak point, attack its legs!"

Upon hearing this, everyone adjusted their attack direction, aiming at the monster's legs. However, the monster seemed to sense their intentions; it suddenly leaped high into the air, its massive claws slashing towards them.

"Watch out!" Hua Qiangu shouted, quickly casting a defensive spell. A transparent shield appeared in front of everyone, blocking the monster's attack.

"Hmph, this monster is really something!" Sha Qianmo was a little annoyed. He launched another attack, this time with even greater power than before.

Just as the battle reached its climax, the Grandmaster, who had been observing the situation, suddenly noticed something amiss. "Everyone, stop for a moment!" the Grandmaster shouted.

Upon hearing the shouts, everyone retreated, keeping a safe distance from the monster.

"Grandmaster, what's wrong?" Hua Qiangu asked in confusion.

The patriarch looked at the demon beast and said, "Although this demon beast is controlled by dark forces, a glimmer of clarity occasionally flashes in its eyes. Perhaps we can try to awaken its reason."

"Awaken its reason? Is that even possible?" Sect Leader Xuanfeng was somewhat skeptical.

Tang Bao blinked and said, "Maybe we can give it a try, it might work."

After thinking for a moment, Hua Qiangu said, "Okay, let's give it a try. Everyone, please don't attack yet. I'll try to communicate with it."

Hua Qiangu slowly walked towards the demonic beast, her eyes filled with gentleness and determination. "You were originally a creature of the forest, why were you used by the forces of darkness?" Hua Qiangu said softly.

The beast looked at Hua Qiangu, and the ferocity in its eyes seemed to lessen somewhat, but it still let out a low roar.

“We know you were forced into this situation. If you stop attacking, we can help you break free from the control of the dark forces,” Hua Qiangu continued.

Suddenly, the monster let out a painful roar, its body began to tremble, and the red light in its eyes flickered erratically.

"It seems to be working!" Youruo said excitedly.

Just then, a black light shot out from the monster's body, attempting to control it to attack the group again.

"Oh no, it's the Shadow Cult's control power!" Dongfang Yuqing shouted.

Hua Qiangu immediately cast a purification spell, attempting to dispel the black light. "I won't let you succeed!"

With Hua Qiangu's efforts, the black light gradually weakened, and the monster's eyes became clearer. Finally, it let out a long roar, seemingly venting its inner pain, and then fell silent.

"We did it!" Tang Bao jumped up with joy.

The demon beast looked at Hua Qiangu and the others, its eyes filled with gratitude. It slowly lowered its head, seemingly to express its thanks to everyone.

"It seems we've successfully awakened it," Hua Qiangu said.

At this moment, Mengbao flew out of the space and said, "Sister, maybe it knows how to purify the dark power in the stone coffin."

Hua Qiangu's eyes lit up as she looked at the demonic beast and asked, "Do you know how to purify the dark power in the stone coffin?"

The monster nodded, then drew some strange symbols on the ground with its claws.

"What do these symbols mean?" Shuofeng asked, frowning.

The patriarch stepped forward, carefully observed the symbols, and said, "These symbols seem to be from an ancient purification ritual that requires specific materials."

"What materials?" Ni Mantian asked eagerly.

After pondering for a moment, the patriarch said, "We need a thousand-year-old spirit tree from deep in the forest, a pure moonstone, and a drop of phoenix blood essence."

“We might be able to find thousand-year-old spirit trees and moonstones, but where can we find the essence blood of a phoenix?” Sha Qianmo was somewhat worried.

"The Phoenix Clan has always been mysterious and rarely appears in the world, so finding them is not easy," said Sect Leader Xuanfeng.

Hua Qiangu firmly stated, "No matter how difficult it is, we must find these materials. In order to retrieve the divine artifact and stop the Shadow Cult's conspiracy, we have no way out."

"Mother is right, we will definitely find it!" Tang Bao clenched her fist.

“Alright, then we’ll split into three groups. Sha Qianmo and I will go find the Thousand-Year Spirit Tree, Dongfang Yuqing and Ni Mantian will search for the Moonstone, and Bai Zihua and Sect Leader Xuanfeng will go to find the Phoenix’s whereabouts.” Hua Qiangu quickly made the arrangements.

"No problem!" everyone responded in unison.

So, following Hua Qiangu's instructions, everyone embarked on their own journeys to find the materials.

Hua Qiangu and Sha Qianmo traversed the forest, searching for traces of the thousand-year-old spirit tree. "Little Bone, what exactly does this thousand-year-old spirit tree look like?" Sha Qianmo asked as they walked.

“I’m not entirely sure either, but it’s said that the thousand-year-old spirit tree emits a unique fragrance and has strange patterns on its trunk,” Hua Qiangu said.

They searched for a long time in the forest and finally smelled a faint fragrance. "That's the scent! The thousand-year-old spirit tree should be nearby," Hua Qiangu said excitedly.

Following the scent, they finally found the thousand-year-old spirit tree. This spirit tree was tall and straight, and the patterns on its trunk resembled a mysterious painting.

"We've finally found it!" Sha Qianmo said.

Meanwhile, Dongfang Yuqing and Ni Mantian were searching for moonstones in a valley. Moonstones usually emit a soft glow under the moonlight, so they chose to act at night.

"Dongfang, do you think we can find the moonstone?" Ni Mantian asked with some worry.

“We definitely can. Let’s search carefully; the moonstone might be hidden somewhere in the valley,” Dongfang Yuqing said.

As they were searching, they suddenly heard a faint sound. Following the sound, they discovered a glowing object hidden in a cave.

"It's moonstone!" Ni Mantian exclaimed in surprise.

Meanwhile, Bai Zihua and Sect Leader Xuanfeng embarked on a difficult journey to find the Phoenix. They inquired everywhere about the Phoenix and finally learned from a reclusive old man that the Phoenix often appeared near a mysterious volcano.

“Let’s go take a look there,” Bai Zihua said.

After overcoming numerous hardships, they finally arrived at the mysterious volcano. The crater spewed forth scorching lava intermittently, and thick smoke filled the surrounding area.

"Will the phoenix really be here?" Sect Leader Xuanfeng asked with some doubt.

Just then, a clear phoenix cry rang out, and a huge phoenix flew out of the volcano, its body burning with multicolored flames, beautiful and majestic.

“It’s a phoenix!” Bai Zihua said.

Will they be able to successfully obtain the phoenix's essence blood, gather the materials needed to purify the stone coffin, and retrieve the divine artifact? Everything remains to be seen, but their belief burns like a blazing flame, growing ever stronger as they prepare to face new challenges.
