Chapter 694 The truth gradually becomes clear
Yun Yao stood in this magnificent and lonely palace, holding the ancient book she had just opened tightly in her hands. Her heartbeat accelerated involuntarily, as if every beat was knocking on a door to the past. The air around her seemed to be frozen, and only the rustling sound of her turning the pages echoed in this empty space, like the whisper of history.
The paper of the ancient book is yellowed and fragile, carrying the breath of time. Every word is like an ancient witness, silently telling those dusty stories. Yun Yao's eyes eagerly scanned line after line of text. As she read deeper, her eyes became more complicated, with shock, realization, and solemnity.
It turns out that the family she belongs to, in that distant and glorious past, was the undisputed top existence in the world of cultivation. The family's territory is vast, with majestic mountains and clear spiritual lakes scattered among them, nourishing countless rare spiritual plants and strange monsters. The family has many strong people, each of whom has extraordinary strength to change the world and move mountains and fill the sea. They control powerful and astonishing power, as well as many mysterious inherited skills. These skills can not only help people break through the bottleneck of cultivation, but also contain the ultimate truth of heaven and earth. If they are cultivated to the extreme, they can even compete with the way of heaven.
However, the gears of fate came to an abrupt halt at a certain moment. An unexpected and catastrophic disaster, like an evil beast jumping out of the dark abyss, ruthlessly tore apart the peace and prosperity of the family. The description of this disaster in ancient books is obscure and heavy, and a few words reveal that it was a deliberate plot of a mysterious evil force. On a dark and windy night, the thick dark clouds were like a huge black curtain, completely covering the light of the stars and the moon, and the whole world fell into a dead silence. The evil force appeared like a ghost, with a strange black breath surging around them. Wherever they passed, life was extinguished, flowers and plants withered, the Spirit Lake dried up, and even the air was filled with a foul smell.
The strong men in the family stepped forward one after another. For a moment, the spiritual light was shining, the magic was crisscrossed, the magic weapons roared, and a war that shocked the world and made the gods cry. But the evil forces were too powerful and cunning. They sacrificed one evil magic weapon after another and released one forbidden spell after another. These spells seemed to be cursed from the nine nether hells, carrying endless destructive power. Although the strong men of the family fought desperately, they were outnumbered in the end. The defense line was gradually torn apart, screams and roars intertwined, and blood dyed the earth red.
In this brutal battle, only a few lucky members of the tribe were forced to flee their homes and wander around, hiding their identities and struggling to survive in this world like a candle in the wind, thanks to the secret teleportation array prepared in advance by their family ancestors, or the protection of some powerful magic weapons.
Yun Yao is one of the orphans in this family. Fragmentary memories of the past flashed through her mind in an instant. The loneliness of her childhood, the confusion of her growth, and the hardships of her cultivation all had answers at this moment. She realized that her time travel was not accidental, but that her ancestors, in desperation, spared no expense and used the most mysterious soul transfer technique in the family heritage to send her soul to another world with the last glimmer of hope, just to avoid this catastrophe and allow the family bloodline to continue.
Now, the trajectory of fate has quietly intersected, and she has returned to this land that carries the family's glory and sorrow, shouldering the heavy mission of reviving the family. This mission is like a towering mountain, weighing heavily on her shoulders, but Yun Yao's eyes did not retreat at all, but instead burned with a flame of determination.
There are very few records about the mysterious evil forces in ancient books, but every word is chilling. We only know that they are hiding in the depths of darkness, like a poisonous snake hiding in the shadows, always spying on the every move of the cultivation world, trying to stir up bloody storms again and drag the entire cultivation world into an endless abyss. They act secretly and cruelly. They have been secretly planning for many years, and their power has penetrated into every corner, like an invisible net that makes people unable to defend themselves.
Yun Yao knows that her future path will be full of thorns, and every step may put her on the edge of life and death. Not only does she have to practice hard day and night and madly improve her own strength to fight against the evil forces that may appear at any time, but she also has to explore the truth hidden under the fog in this complex and treacherous world of cultivation and find a way to defeat the enemy.
At this moment, Chu Mochen's steady voice broke Yun Yao's contemplation: "Yun Yao, I found an entrance to a secret room here. Perhaps it hides more crucial clues. Let's go and take a look." Yun Yao looked up, and saw Chu Mochen standing in front of a wall deep in the palace. A huge stone slab on the wall was slightly concave, and the surrounding area was engraved with exquisite and complex yet mysterious runes. If you don't look closely, it can easily be ignored as an ordinary decoration.
Yun Yao took a deep breath, carefully put the ancient book into the storage ring, and walked side by side with Chu Mochen to the entrance of the secret room. When the two approached, the runes seemed to sense their breath, flickering faintly, as if whispering ancient secrets. Yun Yao stretched out her hand and gently touched the stone slab. A cold touch came, and then the stone slab slowly vibrated, making a dull sound, and slowly slid to one side. An old and mysterious breath came to their faces, as if an invisible hand gently pulled them into the unknown.
Inside the secret room, the light was dim, with only a few faint lights coming through the cracks at the top, like cold stars twinkling in the night sky. The walls were also engraved with runes, which were more ancient and profound than those outside, as if they contained the mysteries of the beginning of the universe. In the center of the secret room, a stone platform stood quietly, and on the stone platform was a crystal ball emitting a faint glow. The light was soft and mysterious, as if it contained endless wisdom, attracting Yun Yao to approach involuntarily.
When Yun Yao's fingertips touched the crystal ball, it suddenly shone brightly, as if an ancient beast had been awakened. The blinding light instantly filled the entire secret room, forcing Yun Yao and Chu Mochen to squint their eyes. Then, a series of lifelike pictures jumped out of the light like lively elves and slowly unfolded before their eyes.
In the picture, the ancestors of the family are dressed in gorgeous armor, holding peerless magic weapons, with cold and resolute faces, fighting a desperate battle with the evil forces above the clouds. The light of the magic illuminates the sky, and the roar of the magic weapon shatters the clouds. Every collision is like the explosion of stars and the rolling of air waves. The ancestors either use sharp swordsmanship, the sword shadows are like lightning, tearing the void wherever they pass; or they use powerful spells, runes are all over the sky, as if the sky fire has descended and burned everything. However, the counterattack of the evil forces is equally fierce, and the black evil flames are like the breath of the devil, constantly eroding the defense line of the ancestors.
As the scenes flow, the core secrets of family inheritance are gradually revealed. Yun Yao sees a mysterious altar, on which are placed three ancient artifacts shining with strange light. They are like treasures bred when the world was first created, exuding a heart-pounding power. The ancestors surround the altar, chanting something, forming complex and complicated hand seals with their hands, and rays of light are injected into the artifacts from their hands, as if a solemn and mysterious ceremony is taking place.
At this moment, an ancient consciousness came out of the crystal ball, as if it had traveled through endless time and space, and was directly transmitted into Yun Yao's mind: "Child, you traveled through another world and experienced hardships. Now you return to complete the unfinished mission of the family. Back then, the family encountered such a desperate situation, and had no choice but to use the forbidden power to send you away, just to retain a glimmer of hope. Now, in order to completely eliminate the evil forces and restore the glory of the family, you need to collect these three ancient artifacts. They are transformed by the rules of heaven and earth, and contain the original power to restrain evil. Only with them can we break the darkness and usher in the dawn."
Yun Yao was shocked and asked hurriedly, "But where are these three artifacts now?"
The consciousness slowly responded: "They are scattered in mysterious places all over the world of cultivation, and the clues are hidden and hard to find. You need to rely on your courage and wisdom to travel thousands of miles and solve numerous puzzles before you can find them one by one. This journey will be full of difficulties and obstacles, and life and death tests, but the hope of the family lies in you, please take care."
After that, the light gradually dimmed, and the crystal ball returned to calm, as if it had just exhausted all its energy and fell into a deep sleep. Yun Yao and Chu Mochen looked at each other, and they saw determination and resoluteness in each other's eyes. They knew that the road to find the artifact would be a thorny journey full of blood and sweat, but for the sake of the family and justice, they had no hesitation and resolutely decided to step out of the secret room immediately and embark on the unknown and challenging journey.
Yun Yao clenched her fists and swore secretly: "My ancestors, please watch from the heavens. No matter how difficult the road ahead is, I, Yun Yao, will live up to your trust and uproot the evil forces, so that the name of my family will resound throughout the world of cultivation once again!"
After that, she and Chu Mochen turned around and walked out of the secret room with firm steps. Outside the secret room, the sun shone on every inch of the palace, as if coating them with a layer of golden light, illuminating the way forward. But Yun Yao knew that under this light, there were countless hazes and crises hidden. Only by constantly becoming stronger can they break through the darkness and embrace the light.
