Transmigrating to become Hua Qiangu

"Wow! We're finally out of the mysterious island!" You Ruo jumped up excitedly, her face beaming with joy. "This was so thrilling! I thought we were going to be trapped in that cave forever!"

"Yes! Especially that guardian, he's really tough to deal with." Shuofeng nodded in agreement, patting the dust off his clothes. "But this artifact is really beautiful, I feel like the power it contains can help us defeat the forces of darkness!"

"Hmph, of course!" Sha Qianmo tossed his hair, looking proud. "Don't you know who we are? What difficulties can possibly defeat us?"

"Sister Sha, stop being so vain! Everyone worked really hard this time," Tang Bao said, bouncing on Hua Qiangu's shoulder. "Especially Xiao Gu, she's always at the forefront."

"Haha, Tang Bao is right. Xiao Gu, you've done a great job again." Dongfang Yuqing smiled at Hua Qiangu, his eyes full of praise. "Without you, we might not have been able to get this artifact."

“Everyone has contributed; this isn’t just my achievement.” Hua Qiangu replied with a smile, then looked at the phoenix artifact in her hand. “However, this artifact seems to hold many secrets; we need to study it carefully.”

“That’s right, let’s find a safe place to rest first, and then take a closer look at these artifacts,” Bai Zihua said, gazing into the distance thoughtfully. “By the way, where’s Luo Shiyi? I haven’t seen him.”

"I'm here!" Luo Shiyi caught up from behind. "I just found some strange marks on the beach. It looks like something came out of the sea."

"Strange marks? What are they like?" Ni Mantian asked curiously.

"It looks like something left behind by some large creature, and there are some strange energy fluctuations around it." Luo Shiyi frowned as he described what he saw. "I think it might be related to a divine artifact."

"A large creature? Could there be other guardians?" Sha Qianmo gripped his weapon tightly, looking around warily. "Whatever it is, we can't let our guard down."

"Don't be nervous, let's go take a look first," Hua Qiangu said, leading the way toward the beach that Luo Shiyi had mentioned.

When they arrived at the beach, they indeed saw some huge claw marks on the sand, and the surrounding seawater was emitting an unusual light.

"These claw marks are huge! What kind of monster is this?" You Ruo stared at the claw marks in surprise, her eyes wide.

“Look here, there are some strange symbols.” Dongfang Yuqing squatted down and pointed to some symbols on the beach. “These symbols are somewhat similar to the runes we saw on the mysterious island.”

"Could this be related to the mysterious island?" Hua Qiangu guessed. "Perhaps this is another clue, a clue pointing to other divine artifacts."

"Whether it's a clue or not, we need to be careful. That monster might be nearby," Bai Zihua warned, already prepared for battle, his entire body radiating a cold sword aura.

Just then, huge waves suddenly surged up on the sea, and a gigantic figure emerged from the water. It was a creature resembling a Qilin, its body radiating multicolored light, and its eyes, like two enormous lanterns, gleamed with a mysterious light.

"Why are you mortals disturbing my peace?" The Qilin spoke in human language, its voice booming like thunder in everyone's ears.

"We have no intention of disturbing you; we are simply searching for a divine artifact to save the world," Hua Qiangu replied loudly, clutching the Phoenix artifact tightly in her hand. The artifact seemed to sense the power of the Qilin and trembled slightly.

"A divine artifact? Hmph, you greedy fellows, you always resort to any means for power." The Qilin said disdainfully, raising its head and letting out a roar, which shook the surrounding seawater, causing high waves to rise.

"We are not doing this out of greed, but to fight against darkness!" Sha Qianmo shouted, unleashing a powerful spell that sent a dazzling beam of light shooting towards the Qilin.

With a gentle flick of its claws, the Qilin deflected Sha Qianmo's attack, sneering, "With your meager strength, you think you can fight against darkness? What a joke!"

"Attack together, everyone!" Bai Zihua shouted, charging towards the Qilin first, his sword flashing with sharp sword energy. The others also unleashed their strongest spells, attacking the Qilin as well.

Despite the onslaught, the Qilin remained calm, nimbly dodging the attacks while retaliating with its claws and tail. Its strength was immense, each strike carrying tremendous energy, plunging the group into a fierce battle.

"Attack its eyes! That's its weak point!" Hua Qiangu shouted, noticing that the Qilin was being exceptionally cautious in protecting its eyes.

The group adjusted their attack direction, concentrating their power to strike the Qilin's eyes. The Qilin seemed to sense the threat; it strengthened its defenses around its eyes, enveloping them in a layer of light.

"We have to find a way to break through its defenses!" Dongfang Yuqing shouted, casting a clever spell in an attempt to bypass the Qilin's defenses and attack its eyes.

After a fierce battle, the group finally found a weakness in the Qilin's defenses.

"Now! Attack with all your might!" Sha Qianmo shouted.

With everyone working together, they launched their strongest attack on the Qilin's eyes. The Qilin's eyes were struck, and it let out a painful roar; its power diminished accordingly.

"Defeat it now!" Shuofeng shouted.

Taking advantage of the situation, the group launched an even fiercer attack. Under the combined assault, the Qilin gradually weakened. Finally, it let out a defiant roar and collapsed into the sea.

"Phew! We finally defeated it." You Ruo breathed a sigh of relief and wiped the sweat from her forehead.

"Is everyone alright?" Hua Qiangu asked, looking at each person with concern.

"It's alright, but what is this Qilin guarding?" Dongfang Yuqing looked at the sea, lost in thought.

Just then, a beam of light appeared where the Qilin had disappeared, and within the light, the outlines of several divine artifacts were faintly visible.

"The artifact! It's there!" Ni Mantian shouted excitedly.

The group hurriedly swam towards the light, and as they approached, they discovered several divine artifacts floating in the water, each radiating powerful energy.

"Wow! So many amazing artifacts!" Tang Bao excitedly flew around Hua Qiangu.

“These artifacts seem to be very compatible with us.” Luo Shiyi looked at the artifacts and felt a special connection.

“Let’s try to subdue them,” Hua Qiangu said. She reached out to touch one of the divine artifacts. When her hand touched the artifact, a warm power surged into her body. The artifact emitted a light and then merged into her body.

"Me too!" Sha Qianmo said, reaching out to grab a divine artifact. The artifact also merged into his body, and he felt his power greatly enhanced.

Others also tried, and soon everyone had acquired a magical artifact.

"Haha, now our power is even greater!" Sha Qianmo laughed excitedly.

“That’s right, but we can’t be arrogant. There are still dark forces waiting for us,” Bai Zihua reminded him.

“By the way, have you noticed that these divine artifacts seem to all have their own artifact spirits?” Dongfang Yuqing suddenly said, “And these artifact spirits seem to have some similarities with us.”

"Now that you mention it, it does seem so." Hua Qiangu sensed the power of the divine artifact within her body and discovered a faint consciousness communicating with her. "It seems that the spirit of my divine artifact has some of my characteristics."

"Mine too!" Luo Shiyi exclaimed in surprise. "What's going on?"

“Perhaps this is why the artifacts chose us,” Shuofeng guessed. “They felt that we shared the same goal, so they were willing to become our forces.”

“Anyway, this is a good thing. We are now more confident in fighting against the darkness,” Ni Mantian said.

“Well, let’s go back to Changliu Mountain now and properly integrate the power of these divine artifacts before we formulate our next plan,” Hua Qiangu said.

The group boarded a boat and headed towards Changliu Mountain. On the boat, they rested while studying the power and spirit of the divine artifacts within them.

"Do you think these artifact spirits can communicate with us?" You Ruo asked curiously.

"I tried to communicate with my spirit, and it seems to understand my thoughts, but it can't speak very well yet," Tang Bao said, flying around Hua Qiangu excitedly.

“Perhaps as we merge with the divine artifacts, they will have a deeper interaction with us,” Dongfang Yuqing said.

After several days of sailing, Changliu Mountain finally came into view.

"We're back!" Youruo shouted excitedly.

When the disciples on Changliu Mountain saw Hua Qiangu and the others return, they all gathered around.

“You’re finally back! We were all so worried about you!” one of the disciples said.

"Haha, we've brought back powerful strength! This time we'll definitely defeat the dark forces!" Sha Qianmo said proudly.

"Don't get too excited yet, we still have a lot of preparations to do," Bai Zihua said, leading everyone toward the interior of Changliu Mountain.

In the main hall of Changliu Mountain, everyone began to discuss how to better integrate the power of the divine artifacts and train their spirits.

“We can try to establish a deeper connection with the spirits of the artifacts and understand their abilities,” Hua Qiangu suggested.

"Then we'll conduct some joint training to make our coordination with the artifact even better," Dongfang Yuqing added.

"Alright, let's do it this way!" Sha Qianmo said excitedly, "We'll show the dark forces what we're capable of!"

The group began intensive training, working tirelessly in various corners of Changliu Mountain alongside the divine artifacts and their spirits to enhance their power. As the days passed, their fusion with the artifacts deepened, and the artifact spirits grew increasingly powerful.

"Little Bone, I feel I have completely mastered the power of my divine artifact!" Sha Qianmo excitedly told Hua Qiangu. "Now we can go and settle accounts with the dark forces!"

"Not yet. We need more training to ensure everything goes perfectly." Hua Qiangu shook her head, looking into the distance with a determined gaze. "We cannot afford to be careless in the slightest. This battle is related to the fate of the entire Xianxia world."

“You’re right, we can’t be impatient,” Bai Zihua said, looking at the group training with confidence. “We will definitely win.”

Through continuous training, the group discovered more secrets and abilities of the divine artifacts. Their artifact spirits also gradually grew stronger, becoming able to communicate with them in simple ways and provide them with powerful support in battle.

"I've discovered that my artifact spirit has a special ability that can enhance my defense at crucial moments," Shuofeng said, demonstrating the artifact spirit's ability. A layer of light enveloped him, making him appear indestructible.

"My spirit can enhance my speed, making me more agile in battle," Ni Mantian said, as she swiftly moved past the crowd, leaving behind a series of afterimages.

"It seems our artifact is truly powerful. We must make good use of these abilities," Hua Qiangu said, feeling gratified by everyone's growth.

As their training progressed, everyone's strength improved dramatically. They were ready to face the challenge of the dark forces and fight to protect the world of immortals and heroes.

"It's time, let's set off!" Hua Qiangu stood on the top of Changliu Mountain, holding the divine weapon in her hand, her eyes fixed firmly on the distance.

"Let's go!" the crowd shouted in unison. Carrying their divine artifacts and their spirits, they flew towards the direction of the dark forces. Their figures shone in the sunlight, like the dawn of hope, illuminating the future of the entire Xianxia world.
