Another Dimensional Immortal Cultivation Tale: The Divine Doctor Against the Heavens
Chapter 106 Crisis Returns and Choices of the Heart
Yunhai held the mysterious black crystal in his hands, and the crowd gathered around him. Everyone frowned, and their expressions were as solemn as dark clouds, as if a super storm was about to break.
Mo Hai couldn't hold back any longer. He scratched his head like a monkey scratching an itch, then broke the silence and said, "This thing looks sinister. Is it going to cause us some big trouble again?"
The young man, like a seasoned appraiser, carefully examined the crystal without blinking, and said, "The aura emanating from this crystal is extremely strange; it is definitely no ordinary object. Yunhai, the scene you saw when you touched it might be some kind of omen, like a warning signal before a disaster."
Yunhai listened and nodded repeatedly, his brows furrowing even more deeply, enough to trap a fly: "The dark vortex in that scene is terrifying. I'm worried that there's a crisis hidden behind it that could overturn our world. What should we do?"
Just then, a commotion suddenly erupted outside the Yun family mansion.
As if hearing a fire alarm, everyone rushed out the door. There, they saw a group of people dressed in strange clothes swaggering towards the mansion.
The leader was an elderly man with white hair but vigorous spirit. His eyes were as sharp as an eagle's, exuding an aura of authority that commanded respect.
"Who are you? Why are you trespassing on my Yun family's residence?" Yun Hai stood with her hands on her hips, like a female warrior guarding her home, and questioned them.
The old man looked Yunhai up and down, his eyes scanning her like an X-ray, and slowly said, "I am the abbot of Lingxu Temple. I heard that there are fluctuations of dark power here, so I came to investigate. Young girl, what you hold in your hand is an ominous object. If it is not handled properly, it will surely cause a great disaster, like a flood or a ferocious beast that cannot be stopped."
Yunhai's heart skipped a beat, as if he had been hit on the head with a club, but he remained as wary as a hedgehog: "This is something we fought hard for, why should we hand it over to you? You say there's a great disaster, but what proof do you have? You can't just make things up without any evidence, can you?"
Master Lingxu sighed softly, looking like a wise man worried about the world: "This crystal is a fragment of something sealed by an ancient demon god. Once the dark power contained within it gets out of control, it will open a passage to the demon realm. At that time, this world will be like a garden trampled by demons, with countless lives lost and unimaginable consequences."
Upon hearing this, Mo Hai chuckled and grinned, "Old man, don't try to scare us. You say this is something sealed by a demon god? Who would believe that just because you say so!"
The abbot of Lingxu Temple was quite composed and did not get angry. Instead, like a magical magician, he raised his hand and waved it. A stream of spiritual energy formed a picture in the air as if by magic. The picture showed the dark vortex devouring everything, exactly the same as what Yunhai had seen, as if it had been copied and pasted.
Yunhai hesitated, like a traveler standing at a crossroads. If what the old man said was true, this crystal was indeed as dangerous as a time bomb. But what if he had some ill intentions? He couldn't afford to be careless.
At this moment, the young man, like a caring little cotton-padded jacket, whispered in Yunhai's ear, "Yunhai, I observe that this person's spiritual power is pure and does not seem like a wicked person, but we still cannot let our guard down. We can first test his strength and weakness. Just like walking in the dark, we must first check if there are any traps."
Yunhai had an idea in mind and said, "Master, you said you want to deal with this crystal, so what are you planning to do? Don't try to fool me."
The abbot of Lingxu Temple said in a serious tone, "I need to bring it back to Lingxu Temple, suppress it with the temple's most treasured artifact, and then slowly dissolve the dark power within it. This is no easy task."
"Hmph, easy for you to say. Who knows if you want to monopolize this mysterious power and then dominate the martial arts world?" Mo Hai persisted, his mouth like a machine gun.
A young disciple behind the abbot of Lingxu Temple couldn't hold back any longer. Like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, he jumped out and said, "You rude person! My master has the world in his heart. How could he be as despicable as you think? Don't slander good people."
Just as the two sides were about to start fighting like two roosters, Yunhai quickly intervened as a peacemaker: "Don't argue. This matter is of great importance. We need to discuss it carefully. Let's stop making a scene here."
Just then, the sky suddenly darkened as if covered by a large black cloth, with dense clouds, lightning, and thunder. A black figure emerged from the clouds like a demon descending, and upon closer inspection, everyone recognized it as the defeated Qingfeng.
"Hahahaha, you think this is the end of it? I deliberately left this crystal behind to attract all sides to fight over it, so I could reap the benefits. I'm not so easily defeated; this is just part of my plan." Qingfeng laughed wildly, his laughter like the hooting of an owl, sending chills down everyone's spine.
Yunhai glared at Qingfeng, his eyes blazing with fury: "You traitor, why are you so stubborn? Can't you just walk the right path?"
Qingfeng said coldly, "I will let you know that I am the strongest, I will dominate this world, and this dark power is my help. You all need to step aside."
Having said that, Qingfeng charged towards Yunhai like a mad bull, trying to snatch the crystal. The youth and Mohai, like two solid fortresses, quickly stood in front of Yunhai and engaged in a fierce battle with Qingfeng.
Qingfeng seemed to have come prepared this time, his dark power even stronger than before. He wielded his hands, unleashing a black tornado of darkness that swept across the land, creating a scene of chaos and destruction, like the end of the world. The young man's swordsmanship, though exquisite, struggled against this overwhelming dark power, like rowing against the current. Mo Hai, on the other hand, unleashed his full power, his sword flashes clashing with the dark energy, producing deafening roars like thunder.
Yunhai, positioned at the rear, watched the battle unfold like a tense commander while simultaneously contemplating countermeasures like a shrewd strategist. A thought suddenly struck her: she recalled the principle of "taking advantage of the situation" from the classic text *Guiguzi*. Perhaps she could exploit Qingfeng's arrogance to lure him into revealing a weakness, like luring a snake out of its hole.
Then, Yunhai shouted at the top of his lungs, "Qingfeng, do you think you can defeat us with this borrowed dark power? You are nothing but a puppet of darkness, and you will never become a true strongman. Stop messing around here."
Upon hearing this, Qingfeng was indeed struck on a sore spot and flew into a rage: "You're talking nonsense! I am the ruler, and you all have to listen to me." His attack rhythm became chaotic, like a drummer who had lost his rhythm.
Seizing the opportunity, the young man, like a nimble assassin, thrust his sword towards Qingfeng's vitals. Qingfeng couldn't dodge in time and was cut by the sword, blood gushing out like a small fountain. But he became even more frenzied, like a gambler who had lost everything, ignoring his injuries, forcibly gathering dark power, preparing to launch a fatal blow, looking as if he wanted to destroy the world together.
At this critical moment, Abbot Lingxu made his move. He muttered incantations like an old monk chanting a spell, and with a flick of his whisk, a golden light shot towards Qingfeng like a laser, temporarily suppressing his dark power. Qingfeng was frozen in place and unable to move.
"Thank you for your help, Abbot." Yunhai said gratefully, his eyes looking at his savior.
Master Lingxu said, "This child's mind has been devoured by darkness. If it is not stopped in time, the consequences will be unimaginable. However, the most urgent task is to deal with this crystal first, which is the most important thing."
Yunhai looked at the crystal in her hand, her heart filled with a tangled mix of emotions. She was uneasy about handing it over to Abbot Lingxu, and wanted to give the treasure to a stranger; but if she didn't hand it over, she feared that, as he had said, it might cause a great disaster. This dilemma truly put her in.
The young man seemed to understand Yunhai's thoughts. Like a warm harbor, he held Yunhai's hand and said, "Yunhai, no matter what decision you make, I will support you. Don't be afraid, I'm here for you."
Yunhai felt a warmth in her heart. Just as she was about to speak, Bingli, like a calm bystander, suddenly said, "Yunhai, I think we can trust the Abbot. The crisis we are facing is too great. We can hardly cope with it on our own. It's like ants fighting an elephant."
Yunhai looked at everyone, took a deep breath, and said as if he had made a great decision: "Alright, Abbot, I will hand over the crystal to you, but I hope you will keep your promise and handle it properly. Don't let me down."
The abbot of Lingxu Temple accepted the crystal and said, "Don't worry, young lady, I will do my utmost and will not dare to slack off in the slightest."
Everyone thought the matter was over for the time being, but unexpectedly, just as the abbot of Lingxu Temple turned around with the crystal, his young disciple suddenly snatched the crystal like a thief, and then flew away quickly like a startled bird, leaving behind only a series of astonished expressions.
"Junior brother, why did you do this?" Abbot Lingxu was shocked, his expression as if he had seen a ghost.
"Master, such powerful energy should not be sealed away, but used by us. I want to become the savior of this world, not like you, just defending yourself like a coward." The young disciple's voice came from afar, tinged with madness.
Yunhai and the others were both shocked and furious. They never expected things to take such a turn, as thrilling and unexpected as riding a roller coaster.
"Chase!" Mo Hai shouted, like a charging general, and the group chased after the young disciple in the direction he had gone.
During their chase, they came to a mysterious valley. A strange mist hung in the air, like a ghost, and faint, evil whispers could be heard from within it, like demons murmuring in their ears.
"Everyone be careful, this place is strange, like a ghost town," Yunhai warned like a vigilant sentinel.
Suddenly, the young disciple appeared in front of them like a phantom. He stood in the center of a huge array, holding a crystal in his hand, with a crazy smile on his face, a smile like that of an evil clown.
"Witness my moment of glory! I will unleash this dark power, reshape this world, and make all bow down before me!" the young disciple shouted, his voice echoing through the valley.
Yunhai and the others tried to get closer, but it was as if they had hit a transparent glass wall. They were bounced back by the power of the formation and fell down, covered in dust.
"This formation is incredibly powerful. We need to find a way to break it, or we're doomed," the young man said, his expression as serious as if he were about to go to war.
Yunhai calmed herself, like a high monk entering a meditative state, and activated the medical space system. Within the space, she was like an explorer searching through a treasure trove, looking for something that could break the array. She discovered some herbs capable of breaking spiritual energy restrictions, but they required a special array to work, which was rather troublesome.
So, relying on his memory, Yunhai, like a highly skilled craftsman, began setting up a small counter-array outside the main formation. The young man and Mohai, like two brave guardians, were responsible for blocking the attacks that the formation launched from time to time, which came like hidden weapons.
Bingli looked at Yunhai, secretly admiring him. She knew Yunhai's talent in cultivation and medicine, but she didn't expect him to be so calm and composed in such a critical moment, like a general who remained calm in the face of danger.
With everyone's efforts, the array was finally set up to break the spell. Yunhai, like a careful chemist, placed the herbs inside, and then, together with the others, infused the array with spiritual power as if passing on a sacred flame. With a flash of light, the array around the young disciple began to crack like a shattered mirror.
Seeing this, the young disciple panicked like an ant on a hot pan. He hurriedly poured the crystal's power into the formation, trying to reinforce it, like a drowning man grasping at a last straw. But he didn't know that doing so was like adding fuel to the fire, accelerating the formation's collapse.
The moment the formation shattered, a powerful dark force surged forth like a raging tsunami. The young disciple was enveloped by the dark force like a pitiful little insect, letting out a painful scream that echoed through the valley, sending chills down everyone's spine.
Yunhai and the others wanted to help, but it was as if they were blocked by an invisible wall, and they could not get close.
"Master, save me..." the young disciple cried out in despair, his voice growing weaker and weaker.
The abbot of Lingxu Temple looked grief-stricken, like a father who had lost his child. He tried to force his way into the dark forces, but was stopped by Yunhai.
“Master, you must not act rashly. This dark power is too strong. Going in will only lead to your death. You cannot throw your life away in vain,” Yunhai said, his tone firm.
Just when everyone was at a loss, the jade pendants on Yunhai and the young man, like two awakened spirits, emitted a strong light once more. The light intertwined, forming a huge bridge of light like a rainbow, leading straight into the dark power. This scene was like a miracle from a myth.
"What's going on?" Mo Hai asked in surprise, his eyes wide as saucers.
Looking at the young man, Yunhai felt a surge of inexplicable courage welling up within them, as if empowered by a divine force. Hand in hand, like a courageous couple, they walked along the bridge of light towards the young disciple who was being swallowed by the power of darkness.
At the end of the bridge of light, Yunhai and the young man felt immense pressure, as if carrying a mountain on their backs, but they did not back down, like two fearless heroes. Yunhai used the power of light within the medical space system, like a messenger of light, while the young man used his swordsmanship to dispel the darkness, like a nemesis of darkness, slowly approaching the young disciple.
Finally, they grabbed the young disciple as if he were a lifeline, and then fled back along the bridge of light as if escaping hell. As they left the range of the dark power, that dark power gradually dissipated like the receding tide.
The young disciple was unconscious. The abbot of Lingxu Temple rushed forward like an anxious doctor to check on him, then took out a pill from his bosom and fed it to him like feeding a baby.
"Thank you for saving him. I have failed in my duty to teach him, which led him to commit such a grave mistake. It is all my fault," said Abbot Lingxu, feeling guilty and wanting to slap himself.
Yunhai said, "Master, there's no need to blame yourself. Everyone makes mistakes. I only hope that through this incident, he can understand the difference between good and evil and walk the right path in the future."
After this ordeal, the bond between Yunhai and the young man deepened, like steel tempered by fire. Their mutual trust and support in the face of danger moved onlookers, like watching a deeply touching love story.
Just as they were preparing to return to the Yun family mansion like triumphant warriors, Yunhai suddenly discovered, as if finding a new continent, a strange crack appeared in the distant sky, from which a familiar dark aura faintly emanated, like an old friend returning.
"Could it be..." A sense of foreboding welled up in Yunhai's heart, as if shrouded in a dark cloud. She recalled the spacetime rift she had encountered in the Holy Land of Light. Could it be that a new enemy was about to emerge from the rift? This was truly one crisis after another.
