Shocking Secrets of the Celestial Realm
Chapter 18 Monster Crisis
The enormous monster let out a deafening roar, its howl echoing throughout the palace and causing the jewels on the walls to rattle. Blazing flames spewed from its mouth, sweeping towards Jasmine and her companions like surging lava.
Lin Qing reacted swiftly, immediately circulating all his vital energy to form an indestructible shield in front of him. The shield, condensed from his vital energy, shimmered with a red light, resisting the oncoming flames. The flames relentlessly struck the shield, emitting a sizzling sound. Fine beads of sweat appeared on Lin Qing's forehead as he gritted his teeth, desperately trying to withstand the onslaught of the flames.
"Everyone be careful, this monster's attacks are too fierce!" Lin Qing shouted, his voice strained.
Qin Feng rapidly formed hand seals, opening a massive spatial rift in an attempt to draw the flames into it. However, the flames spewed by the monster seemed to possess their own will; they hovered around the edge of the rift, refusing to be absorbed.
"This flame is a bit strange!" Qin Feng frowned and increased the output of spatial power, causing the suction force at the edge of the spatial rift to suddenly intensify.
Ye Lan waved the jade flute in her hand, summoning water and earth elements. The water element transformed into streams of water, rushing towards the flames in an attempt to extinguish them; the earth element formed a sturdy earthen wall around everyone, serving as a second line of defense.
Jasmine stood at the back, closed her eyes, concentrated, and activated her microscopic energy perception to try and find the monster's weakness. In the microscopic world, she saw that the energy flow inside the monster's body was extremely complex, with various energies intertwined to form a powerful defensive system. However, in the monster's heart, there was a tiny energy node whose energy fluctuations were slightly different from those in other parts.
"I've found its weakness!" Jasmine shouted. "Attack its heart! There's an energy node there, which seems to be its weak point."
Upon hearing this, Lin Qing immediately gathered all his vital energy into his longsword. With a roar, he charged towards the monster like an arrow released from a bow. The longsword, carrying a fierce aura, pierced towards the monster's heart. Sensing the danger, the monster swung its massive claws, attempting to block Lin Qing's attack.
Qin Feng opened a spatial rift, instantly teleporting Lin Qing to the monster's front, avoiding the claw attacks. Lin Qing seized the opportunity, thrusting his longsword fiercely towards the monster's heart. However, the monster's scales were incredibly hard, and the longsword only managed to leave a shallow mark.
"These scales have such high defense!" Lin Qing exclaimed anxiously.
Jasmine concentrated her microscopic energy and channeled it into Lin Qing's longsword. The microscopic energy fused with his blood and qi, causing the sword's light to intensify dramatically, and it once again pierced the monster's heart. This time, the sword successfully pierced through the scales and penetrated the monster's heart.
The monster let out a painful roar, its body began to tremble violently, and the flames it spewed from its mouth became chaotic. Taking advantage of this, Ye Lan used wind element to disperse the flames, while simultaneously using water element to extinguish the surrounding fires.
Qin Feng opened a spatial rift, from which countless spatial blades shot out, attacking the monster's wounds. The spatial blades, like sharp daggers, continuously sliced through the monster's body, inflicting massive damage.
Under the combined attack of the four, the monster's strength gradually weakened, its body slowly collapsed, and finally crashed heavily to the ground, raising a huge cloud of dust.
The four men breathed a sigh of relief and collapsed to the ground. Their bodies were exhausted, but their hearts were filled with the joy of victory.
"Finally, we defeated it," Jasmine said weakly, a relieved smile on her face.
"This monster is too powerful. If we hadn't worked together, we really wouldn't have been a match for it," Lin Qing said with emotion.
After resting for a while, the four stood up and looked again at the stone platform in the center of the palace. The crystal ball on the platform still emitted colorful light, seemingly telling more secrets. Jasmine stepped forward and touched the crystal ball again, but this time, the crystal ball did not display any more images as before.
“It seems the secret of the crystal ball has been revealed,” Jasmine said. “Let’s move on. I believe there are still many more clues about the mysteries of the human body waiting for us to discover deep within this Enchanted Forest.”
The four left the palace and continued their exploration of the Enchanted Forest. The fog in the forest grew thicker, and the surrounding trees became even more bizarre. The trunks of these trees twisted and coiled, and their branches were laden with shimmering fruits, as if they were plants from another world.
As she walked, Ye Lan suddenly noticed a strange light shimmering on the ground ahead. She stepped forward, parted the thick layer of fallen leaves, and revealed some glowing stones. These stones were of various shapes and their surfaces were covered with strange symbols.
"Everyone, come quick! The symbols on these stones seem to have some connection to the runes we saw before," Ye Lan shouted.
Everyone immediately gathered around, carefully examining the stones. Jasmine activated her microscopic energy perception, attempting to decipher the meaning of the symbols. She discovered that these symbols recorded an ancient cultivation method closely related to the body's meridians and energy flow.
“The cultivation methods recorded here seem to help us better control the energy within our bodies,” Jasmine said. “Perhaps this is a key step in unlocking the mysteries of the human body.”
The four began studying the symbols, attempting to adjust the flow of energy within their bodies according to their instructions. Qin Feng opened a spatial rift, observing the changes in energy from different spatial angles; Ye Lan drew upon natural elements, using their power to assist the flow of energy; Lin Qing circulated his qi and blood, using his own cultivation experience to understand this new cultivation method; and Jasmine used her microscopic energy perception to delve into the mysteries of energy flow.
Through their combined efforts, the four gradually mastered this ancient cultivation method. As their energy adjusted, they felt their bodies become stronger and their perception of the surrounding world sharpen.
"This cultivation method is amazing! My qi and blood seem to have become more refined," Lin Qing said excitedly.
"I've become much more adept at controlling the natural elements," Ye Lan said happily.
Qin Feng opened a spatial rift and found that he could manipulate spatial power more easily: "I feel that my spatial abilities have made a new breakthrough."
Jasmine smiled slightly: "It seems our efforts have not been in vain. These clues have not only made us stronger, but also brought us one step closer to the truth of the mysteries of the human body."
The four continued their journey, discovering many more clues related to the mysteries of the human body along the way. Some were murals hidden in caves, depicting scenes of ancient humans merging with the forces of nature; others were inscriptions carved on giant stones, recording knowledge about the meridians and acupoints of the human body; and still others were mysterious relics, exuding an ancient and enigmatic aura.
As they explore, the four grow closer. They support and encourage each other, facing various difficulties and challenges together. Lin Qing's feelings for Jasmine deepen, and he silently protects her, always stepping forward without hesitation whenever danger arises.
One day, as they were crossing a swamp, they were suddenly attacked by a group of swamp monsters. These monsters were enormous, covered in sticky black slime, and spewed poisonous mist from their mouths.
"Watch out, these monsters are poisonous!" Jasmine shouted.
Everyone immediately assumed fighting stances, ready to engage. Lin Qing brandished his longsword, unleashing a torrent of sword energy that repelled the approaching monsters; Qin Feng opened a spatial rift, sucking some of the monsters into it; Ye Lan manipulated natural elements, using wind to disperse the poisonous mist and water to freeze the monsters' movements; Jasmine, meanwhile, channeled her microscopic energy to find the monsters' weaknesses and deliver a fatal blow.
In the midst of the fierce battle, a monster suddenly attacked Jasmine from behind. Seeing this, Lin Qing rushed forward without hesitation, shielding Jasmine with her own body. The monster's claws grazed Lin Qing's back, leaving a deep wound.
"Lin Qing!" Jasmine exclaimed, her heart filled with worry and anxiety. She quickly mobilized her microscopic energy to heal Lin Qing's wounds while simultaneously increasing the intensity of her attacks on the monster.
"I'm fine, don't worry about me, keep fighting!" Lin Qing said through gritted teeth.
With everyone working together, they finally drove back the swamp monsters. Jasmine looked at Lin Qing's wounds, her eyes filled with heartache: "Why were you so foolish? Why did you take that hit for me?"
Lin Qing smiled slightly: "Because I don't want you to get hurt."
A warm feeling welled up in Jasmine's heart, and she held Lin Qing's hand tightly: "Don't worry, I will definitely heal your injury."
This incident deepened the bond between the four. They continued their exploration of the Mystic Forest, searching for more clues about the mysteries of the human body. They knew the road ahead was still full of unknowns and dangers, but as long as they remained united, nothing could stop them from uncovering the truth.
As their exploration deepened, they arrived at a mysterious valley. A thin layer of purple mist permeated the valley, emanating a strange fragrance. In the center of the valley stood an ancient altar, covered with mysterious runes and patterns.
“This altar looks very unusual,” Jasmine said. “Perhaps, the answer we’ve been searching for is hidden here.”
The four approached the altar cautiously, their hearts filled with a mixture of anticipation and nervousness. As they drew near, the runes on the altar suddenly lit up, emitting a powerful light that enveloped them…
