Chapter 121: The beginning of a new path, hope rekindled
After the curse was lifted, the fairy world was filled with bright sunshine, singing birds and fragrant flowers, presenting a thriving scene.
Bi Yao and Li Yuan stood side by side on the top of the mountain. The breeze blew, lifting Bi Yao's hair. She had a confident smile on her lips, and her eyes flashed with curiosity and excitement about the unknown.
"Are you ready?" Bi Yao turned to look at Li Yuan with a hint of mischief in her tone.
"Of course!" Li Yuan, always full of energy, gripped the sword tightly, his eyes full of anticipation. "Wherever you go on an adventure, I'll accompany you to the end!"
Bi Yao chuckled and raised her hand to summon an exquisite flying sword, which was crystal white and emitted a soft light.
"Come on up, chatterbox."
Li Yuan jumped onto the flying sword in a flash, and the two of them flew on the swords, heading towards the mysterious mountains shrouded in mist in the distance.
The flying sword cut through the sky at an extremely fast speed. However, just as they were about to reach their destination, a strange wave suddenly appeared in front of them, rippling like water waves.
"What is this?" Li Yuan frowned slightly, feeling a powerful force coming towards them.
The waves spread rapidly and turned into a terrifying spatial turbulence in an instant. The surrounding scenery began to distort and deform, and the mountains and rivers were like a crumpled scroll, shattered.
"Oh no! It's space turbulence!" Bi Yao's face changed. This sudden change made her heart tremble.
A powerful suction force came from the center of the turbulence, pulling their bodies frantically. The flying swords shook violently, as if they would be torn to pieces at any time.
"Hold on to me!" Bi Yao shouted, hugging Li Yuan tightly, and at the same time using all her spiritual power to try to stabilize the flying sword.
However, the power of spatial turbulence was too strong, and their spiritual power was quickly consumed like a drop in the ocean.
The space around them kept twisting and folding, and they felt as if their bodies were about to be torn apart. The severe pain made it almost impossible for them to breathe.
"Yaoyao..." Li Yuan's voice was a little weak. He held Bi Yao's hand tightly, and his knuckles turned white.
Bi Yao gritted his teeth, enduring the severe pain in his body, and countless thoughts flashed through his mind.
Suddenly, a gleam of light flashed in her eyes...
"Li Yuan!"
"Li Yuan! Do you remember the strange stone we found in the treasure house?" Bi Yao's voice seemed a little weak in the violent turbulence of space, but it was extremely firm.
Li Yuan was stunned for a moment, then his eyes lit up: "You mean... the 'Spatial Stone' that can stabilize spatial fluctuations?"
"That's right! That's it!" Bi Yao took out a gray stone from the storage bag. It looked inconspicuous, but it emitted a strange fluctuation, which was in sharp contrast to the violent space turbulence around it.
As the Dingkong Stone appeared, the distorted space around it seemed to pause slightly, and the suction force also weakened a bit.
Bi Yao and Li Yuan did not dare to delay and immediately injected their spiritual power into the Dingkong Stone.
The gray stones suddenly burst into dazzling light, forming a spherical protective barrier that enveloped them.
Although the pulling force of the spatial turbulence is still strong, it cannot break through this barrier.
The surrounding scene was still distorted and deformed, changing unpredictably like a kaleidoscope, but Bi Yao and Li Yuan were safe and sound within the protective barrier of the Dingkong Stone.
"Huh..." Li Yuan breathed a sigh of relief, his tense body relaxing. "Luckily, we have this Dingkong Stone, otherwise we would really have died here today."
Bi Yao also smiled slightly, but there was a hint of solemnity in her smile: "This spatial turbulence came strangely, I always feel that it is a little unusual."
At this moment, the scene outside the protective barrier of the Dingkong Stone suddenly changed.
The originally chaotic space turbulence began to gradually subside, and the distorted scene slowly returned to normal.
"What's going on?" Li Yuan looked at the scene in surprise, his eyes full of confusion.
Bi Yao frowned and stared straight ahead.
I saw a huge vortex slowly emerging from the originally empty void, emitting heart-pounding energy fluctuations.
"Yaoyao..." Li Yuan subconsciously held Bi Yao's hand tightly, feeling the coldness in her palm.
Bi Yao said nothing, but stared at the huge vortex, a look of determination flashing in her eyes: "Li Yuan, hold my hand tightly, no matter what happens, don't let go."
Li Yuan nodded vigorously and held Bi Yao's hand tightly.
The next moment, the protective barrier of the Sky-fixing Stone suddenly shattered, and a powerful suction force sucked them into the vortex...
"Yao'er!" Li Yuan only had time to shout out before he lost consciousness.
When he regained consciousness, Li Yuan found himself lying on soft grass, surrounded by a strange fragrance.
He sat up suddenly and looked around, but there was no sign of Bi Yao.
"Yao'er!" he shouted anxiously, his voice echoing in the empty space.
Suddenly, a subtle sound came from not far away. He looked in the direction of the sound and saw Bi Yao standing under a huge glowing tree, holding a strange fruit in his hand, and seemed to be studying something.
"Yao'er! I'm so glad you're okay!" Li Yuan quickly ran to Bi Yao, looked her up and down, and only felt relieved after confirming that she was not injured.
"We seem to be trapped in a strange space." Bi Yao pointed at the surrounding environment and said, "The spiritual energy here is extremely rich, but it is also full of unknown dangers."
As soon as he finished speaking, the space around him suddenly distorted, and several ghost-like creatures appeared out of thin air, making sharp cries and rushing towards them.
"Be careful!" Li Yuan protected Bi Yao behind him and swung the sword in his hand. The sharp sword energy cut through the air and forced back the approaching ghost.
However, these ghostly creatures seemed to be immune to physical attacks. They passed through the sword energy and pounced directly on Bi Yao.
Bi Yao was not panicked at all. She raised a confident smile and quickly formed seals with her hands, setting up a spiritual trap around her that flashed with light blue light.
The ghostly creatures rushed towards Bi Yao without noticing, fell into the trap one after another, and let out shrill screams.
Li Yuan heaved a sigh of relief upon seeing this and praised, "Yao'er, your formation is getting more and more powerful!"
Bi Yao ignored Li Yuan's praise. She stared at the ghost creature in the trap, and a deep light flashed in her eyes.
"Don't be too happy yet..." she whispered, "These things seem a little strange." Bi Yao did not immediately eliminate the ghost creatures in the trap. Instead, she squatted down and observed them carefully...
"Li Yuan, look..."
Bi Yao lightly tapped her slender fingers, and a wisp of light golden spiritual power slowly injected into the trap.
This is not an attack, but a unique spiritual power fluctuation, similar to the conduction of mental power.
After the ghost creature came into contact with this spiritual power, its frantic struggles gradually subsided, and it began to whimper softly, as if it was telling something.
Li Yuan looked at this scene in surprise, "Yao'er, what are you doing..."
"Shh..." Bi Yao signaled Li Yuan to be quiet. She closed her eyes and concentrated on feeling the message conveyed by the ghost creature.
After a moment, she opened her eyes, a glint of pity in them. "They... are lost souls."
"Lost soul?" Li Yuan was puzzled.
"These ghostly creatures aren't monsters, but the remnants of immortal cultivators trapped in the turbulent flow of space," Bi Yao explained. "They've been lost here for too long, losing their sanity and becoming so crazy."
Li Yuan suddenly understood and felt a trace of sympathy in his heart.
He gripped the sword tightly in his hand. "So how can we help them?"
"Rescue them and let them return to heaven and earth." Bi Yao said in a firm tone.
She formed seals with her hands again. This time, the spiritual power flowing from her fingertips was no longer light gold, but a soft silver-white color, carrying the power of purification.
The silvery-white spiritual power slowly merged into the trap, wrapping up the ghostly creature.
The ghost creature let out a series of shrill wails, and its body gradually became transparent, eventually turning into specks of starlight and dissipating in the air.
With the disappearance of the last ghostly creature, the surrounding air became fresher and the originally oppressive atmosphere was swept away.
At this moment, a dazzling light came from the depths of space, attracting the attention of Bi Yao and Li Yuan.
They followed the light and found a huge stone door not far away, exuding an ancient and mysterious atmosphere.
The stone gate is carved with complex runes, shining with a faint golden light, as if it contains endless secrets.
"What is this?" Li Yuan's eyes were full of curiosity.
Bi Yao didn't say anything. She slowly walked towards the stone gate, stretched out her hand, and gently stroked the runes on it.
A strange energy wave came from the stone gate, which shocked her heart.
"Yao'er, be careful!" Li Yuan noticed something was wrong and quickly stepped forward and held Bi Yao's hand.
Bi Yao turned to look at Li Yuan, a hint of determination flashing in her eyes. "I think... we should go in and take a look." She held Li Yuan's hand tightly and walked towards the mysterious door...
"Wait," Bi Yao suddenly stopped, her eyes fixed on a small, inconspicuous hole beneath the stone door. "It seems... something's missing." She pulled out a peculiarly shaped jade pendant from her storage bag...
