Shocking Secrets of the Celestial Realm

The deep roar from the depths struck like a heavy hammer, sending ripples of fear through everyone's hearts. But Jasmine and Ziling's eyes shone with determination as they led their disciples slowly deeper into the passage. As they went further, the roar gradually faded, but an unknown sense of oppression grew stronger, as if an invisible eye was watching them from the darkness.

As the group passed through the narrow passage, a hidden cave appeared before them. It was already late afternoon, and a mysterious and rich aura permeated the cave. This aura subtly resonated with the kidney meridian's function of storing essence, causing everyone to feel a strange stirring within them.

“The aura in this cave is very unusual.” Jasmine frowned and said with a solemn expression, “It is now the hour of You (5-7 PM), when the Kidney Meridian is in power. The Kidney is responsible for storing essence and governing growth, development and reproduction. The aura in this cave may be closely related to the energy of the Kidney Meridian.”

Zi Ling nodded slightly, her gaze sweeping across the cave: "Everyone, be careful. There might be some secrets hidden in this cave, or perhaps some dangers."

The group cautiously stepped into the cave, and were immediately stunned by the sight inside. The cave walls were inlaid with various gems that emitted strange light, and ancient books and precious treasures were placed on the ground. These treasures emitted powerful energy fluctuations and were clearly not ordinary items.

"Wow, so many treasures!" Xiaofeng's eyes lit up instantly. He excitedly ran towards a treasure that was radiating golden light, eager to find out more.

"Xiaofeng, watch out!" Jasmine shouted, but it was too late.

Just as Xiaofeng touched the treasure, a sharp alarm suddenly sounded in the cave, the ground began to shake violently, and countless arrows shot out from the walls, whistling towards the group.

"Get out of the way!" Yi Chen shouted, quickly swinging his sword to cut down the arrows aimed at him and Meng Li.

Jasmine and Ziling quickly channeled their spiritual power, creating a protective barrier around everyone, blocking most of the arrows. However, some arrows still managed to break through the barrier, grazing their bodies and leaving streaks of blood.

"How are these mechanisms triggered?" Mengli asked in horror, her face pale and her body trembling slightly.

While deflecting the arrows, Jasmine said, "It seems these mechanisms are related to the kidney meridian energy we've triggered. The fluctuations in kidney meridian energy triggered the mechanisms, and the power of the mechanisms is related to the energy reserves of the kidney meridian. We must find a way to break through these mechanisms, otherwise we won't be able to move forward in this cave at all."

Just when everyone was in trouble, Xiaofeng suddenly noticed some nodes on the walls of the cave that were flashing with a faint light. The flashing frequency of these nodes seemed to be related to the triggering of the mechanism.

"Look, everyone, these nodes!" Xiaofeng shouted. "I think the triggering of the mechanism is related to these energy nodes."

As he spoke, Xiaofeng concentrated his mind, circulating his kidney meridian energy, attempting to adjust the frequency of these nodes. Initially, his attempts failed; the mechanisms continued their frantic attacks. But Xiaofeng didn't give up. He continuously adjusted the output of his kidney meridian energy, and finally, the flashing frequency of one of the nodes changed, and the associated mechanisms ceased their attacks.

"I did it!" Xiaofeng shouted excitedly. "By adjusting the frequency of these nodes, we can shut down the mechanism!"

Upon hearing this, everyone followed Xiaofeng's example. They concentrated their minds, circulated their kidney meridian energy, and adjusted the frequency of their energy nodes. With everyone's efforts, more and more of the traps stopped attacking, and the crisis in the cave was temporarily alleviated.

However, some mechanisms were exceptionally stubborn, and no matter how hard they tried, they couldn't close them. While dodging the attacks of these mechanisms, Yi Chen noticed the ancient texts. A thought struck him: perhaps these texts contained methods to break the mechanisms.

Yi Chen quickly ran to the ancient texts and began to peruse them. The texts were ancient and obscure, but fortunately, Yi Chen had accumulated some experience in deciphering them in the ruins. After some effort, he finally found the records about the Kidney Meridian and how to solve the mechanism.

"I found it!" Yi Chen shouted excitedly. "Following the method on this, we can use the energy of the kidney meridian, combined with specific hand gestures and incantations, to break these mechanisms."

As he spoke, Yi Chen, following the instructions in the ancient texts, circulated his kidney meridian energy, making a series of complex hand gestures while chanting incantations. A strange thing happened: the previously stubborn mechanisms began to cease their attacks one by one, and the alarms in the cave gradually disappeared.

"We're finally safe for now." Xiaofeng breathed a sigh of relief and wiped the sweat from his forehead.

The crowd gathered around, their eyes filled with curiosity as they gazed at the precious treasures and ancient texts. "What are these treasures and texts for?" Mengli asked.

Jasmine shook her head: "I don't know either, but what's certain is that they are closely related to this mysterious space and our exploration. Let's put them away first and continue deeper into the cave to see what else we can find."

The group carefully put away the treasures and books and continued deeper into the cave. An ancient aura permeated the cave, and the gems on the walls shimmered with an eerie light, as if telling ancient stories. They proceeded cautiously, their hearts filled with both anticipation and a touch of nervousness.

Suddenly, a deep rumbling sound came from the depths of the cave, as if something enormous was approaching. The group immediately became alert, gripping their weapons tightly, preparing to face a new challenge.
