Why did you provoke her? Even Heaven itself is afraid of her.

Mo Yu cautiously surveyed her surroundings.

He gripped the weapon tightly, his knuckles turning white from the force.

Xuan Tian looked at everything before him and slowly spoke, offering a reminder:

"This place has an inexplicable strangeness; we must be careful."

Ling Yun, standing to the side, frowned deeply.

He carefully observed the runes on the wall, trying to find clues to break the predicament he was in.

She strolled slowly, her fingers gently touching the ancient patterns, a strange sense of familiarity welling up inside her.

But I can't remember where I've seen it before.

Mo Yu took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and focused all his attention on sensing the surrounding spiritual energy fluctuations.

He discovered that the spiritual energy here was extremely chaotic.

It was as if an invisible force had disrupted the order.

Suddenly, he sensed a faint aura emanating from the depths of the cave, an aura that carried a hint of familiarity yet also carried a dangerous scent.

"Sister, I feel something deep in the cave, and, I don't know if it's just my imagination, but I feel like I can sense your presence in addition to yours."

Mo Yu opened his eyes and said with a solemn expression.

Ling Yun paused upon hearing this, then a look of certainty flashed in his eyes.

It seems that it wasn't just her who felt familiar with this place; there was definitely something wrong with it.

"Let's go take a look."

Upon hearing this, the group proceeded cautiously along the cave, taking each step with utmost care.

As they went deeper, the temperature in the cave gradually dropped, and the biting cold caused their breath to condense into white mist.

After walking for an unknown amount of time, a huge stone gate appeared ahead.

A huge pattern is carved on the stone gate, depicting a mysterious creature that radiates dazzling light and seems to control the power of all things in the world.

"what is this?"

Xuan Tian looked at the patterns on the stone gate with a sense of bewilderment, and a strange sense of awe welled up in his heart.

Ling Yun stared at the stone door, a vague premonition in his heart that the secret hidden behind this door might solve their long-standing doubts.

She reached out and touched the stone door, and a powerful force instantly surged into her body.

In an instant, Ling Yun realized that the power, upon merging into her body, seemed to have found its home, perfectly blending with Ling Yun without any rejection.

Ling Yun herself also felt that the power seemed to have always belonged to her.

"Sister, how are you?"

When Mo Yu realized something was wrong, she didn't have time to react before she witnessed what had just happened.

He looked at Ling Yun with a worried expression.

Ling Yun looked up at Mo Yu and waved his hand.

"I'm fine, it's just..."

The power she just felt seemed to be her own, yet it didn't quite seem like it.

She was also certain that there was nothing wrong with her body.

This made her a little confused.

Before I could think any further, the stone gate began to tremble slowly, emitting a dull sound.

Immediately afterwards, a beam of light shot out from the crack in the door, so bright that everyone could barely open their eyes.

After the light faded, the stone door slowly opened, and a powerful aura rushed out.

"careful!"

Xuan Tian suddenly shouted.

A dark figure suddenly darted out of the mist and pounced straight at Mo Yu.

From the very beginning, Ling Yun felt that something was wrong and was extremely vigilant about his surroundings.

The moment the shadowy figure appeared, she had already determined its location.

So as soon as Xuan Tian finished speaking, Ling Yun made her move, and a burst of spiritual energy shot out from her hand, repelling the black shadow.

However, after the dark figure disappeared, more dark figures emerged from all around them in the next second, surrounding them.

At this moment, the power that had merged into Ling Yun's body seemed to resist these dark figures, and it burst forth from Ling Yun's body in an instant.

As if sensing something that terrified them, the group of shadowy figures vanished into thin air in an instant.

"How is this going?"

Xuan Tian looked at Ling Yun and asked in confusion.

"Master, how are you?"

Just now, he felt that the power his master unleashed was somewhat unfamiliar.

Mo Yu remained silent, seemingly lost in thought.

Ling Yun frowned slightly, her gaze sweeping around before finally settling on her own hands.

That force was beyond her control and started to surge forward on its own.

Although it did not cause any physical harm to her, the feeling of being out of control made her very uncomfortable.

However, now is not the time to talk about that.

"Never mind that for now, let's go inside and see what's behind this stone door."

Ling Yun composed himself and said.

Everyone nodded in agreement, and then followed Ling Yun carefully into the space behind the stone gate.

Thick fog filled the room, and visibility was limited to only a few feet.

Long Xiu followed closely behind Ling Yun, his weapon ready to strike at any moment.

Suddenly, a deep roar echoed through the mist, making their eardrums ache.

At that moment, a huge figure emerged from the mist.

It was a colossal beast unlike any I had ever seen before, its body as large as a mountain and its eyes like burning fireballs.

The giant beast swung its enormous claws and lunged at them.

Ling Yun's expression darkened.

She had clearly lost patience.

She flashed by.

The others didn't even have time to react.

With a scream, they saw the giant beast crash to the ground and vanish into a cloud of smoke.

"Let's go, continue."

Ling Yun didn't give them a chance to speak and spoke directly.

Seeing this, the others had no choice but to swallow back the words that were about to come out.

They continued to grope their way forward through the fog, the ground beneath their feet becoming damp and muddy, and a putrid smell permeating the air.

Long Xiu was the weakest among them, and he couldn't help but cover his mouth and nose, almost vomiting.

"What is this taste? It's disgusting."

Mo Yu immediately shut off his sense of smell, frowning as he looked around.

Ling Yun didn't give a second glance, and directly threw a burst of spiritual fire in all directions.

Instantly, the entire space was enveloped in spiritual fire.

At that very moment, Mo Yu saw black afterimages constantly appearing amidst the burning of the spiritual fire.

They were devoured by the spiritual fire before they could react.

The spirit fire burned for a while before Lingyun summoned it back.

Mo Yu understood something, unlocking the seal on her sense of smell.

The stench had indeed dissipated considerably, and the air had become fresher.

"Senior sister, what exactly is this thing?"

Mo Yu recalled what he had just witnessed and couldn't help but ask.

Ling Yun did not answer him immediately, as if he was thinking about something.

"Ignore it and keep moving forward."

As soon as Ling Yun finished speaking, he continued forward.

Long Xiu and Xuan Tian couldn't see the afterimages that appeared, so they had no doubts and continued to follow Ling Yun's footsteps.

Only Mo Yu's gaze fell on Ling Yun.

He knew that Ling Yun must have discovered something, but she seemed unwilling to talk about it.

This made him even more puzzled. What was it that she was unwilling to tell him?

Although Mo Yu was full of doubts, he knew that this was not the time to ask questions.

In the end, all I could do was silently quicken my pace to catch up with everyone.

As they ventured deeper, the fog gradually thinned, and a faint light began to appear ahead.

The group quickened their pace, and as they got closer, they discovered that the light came from a huge pool of water, which emitted a soft blue glow and was so calm that there wasn't a ripple on the surface.

"Something's not right about this pool."
