Chapter 125 'Ascending the Dzi Pearl'
He spoke after a long pause, his voice deep and resonant.
Every word carries the weight of time: "This pearl is an ancient sacred artifact, named the 'Ascension Pearl'."
After he finished speaking, the atmosphere around them seemed to freeze instantly.
All eyes were fixed on the bead that rested peacefully in his palm.
The beads emitted a faint light, mysterious and alluring.
"The Heavenly Pearl possesses the divine power to reverse the heavens and earth and to see through the secrets of the heavens."
For thousands of years, numerous evil forces have coveted it, attempting to use its power to dominate the world.
"Unexpectedly, it appeared here."
His voice seemed to have traversed a thousand years of time, carrying endless vicissitudes and solemnity.
Everyone was astonished upon hearing the old man's words. Chongyang Jushi quickly stepped forward, clasped his hands in a gesture of respect,
He asked respectfully, "Senior, if that's the case, then the Heavenly Pearl is so important, what should we do with it?"
His eyes were filled with worry and anticipation, eagerly hoping that the old man could provide a proper solution.
The old man frowned slightly, and after a moment of deep thought, his brow furrowed.
He said slowly, "The power of this Heavenly Pearl is too great. If it falls into the hands of those with ulterior motives, it will surely bring great calamity to the mortal world."
"In my opinion, we must find a foolproof place to store it properly."
His words carried an undeniable authority, clearly pointing the way for everyone.
Just as everyone was discussing how to find a place to keep the Heavenly Pearl, a series of rapid hoofbeats suddenly came from afar.
The sound grew louder as it approached, like a rapid drumbeat, heavily pounding on everyone's tense nerves.
Everyone immediately became alert and looked in the direction from which the sound came, only to see a group of men in black rushing towards them.
The leader of the men in black brandished a gleaming, sharp blade.
The sharp blade reflected a cold light in the sunlight, as if it could easily cut through the air.
"Hand over the Heavenly Pearl, or you'll all die!" the leader of the men in black shouted, his voice filled with greed and ferocity.
It turned out they were the wizard's henchmen, secretly monitoring everyone's every move.
Now that they have learned of the appearance of the Heavenly Pearl, they cannot wait to rush to seize it.
A tense standoff ensued. Everyone glared angrily.
His eyes burned with furious rage, as if he wanted to incinerate these men in black.
The wolf king's aura hardened as he prepared to unleash a spell to fight back. His hands moved swiftly, forming hand seals, and golden light shone from his body once more.
Although it wasn't as dazzling as before, it was filled with the aura of battle.
Every flicker of light seemed to proclaim its fighting spirit.
The three little creatures—the wolf cub, the deer cub, and the myna bird—quickly switched to battle mode, their eyes revealing a determination and courage that belied their size.
The little ginseng spirit was chatting with her little sister, Flower Leaf Grass, when she heard a noise. Startled, she immediately reached out and tightly grabbed Flower Leaf Grass's clothes.
Seeing this, the little sister Flower Leaf Grass gently comforted her, "Little Ginseng, don't be afraid, I will protect you."
The little ginseng spirit was too weak in combat, so her younger sister, Flower Leaf Grass, specially kept her by her side for protection.
A two-year-old girl comforts another two-year-old girl who is also frightened; the scene looks heartwarming and beautiful.
Chongyang Jushi also swiftly drew his sword from his waist, which emitted a clear dragon's roar as it was drawn.
It seemed to be announcing that its owner was about to enter the battle.
He assumed a fighting stance, his sword trembling slightly, as if eager to drink the enemy's blood, each tremor seeming to accumulate boundless power.
The vines and leaves tightly protected the Heavenly Pearl. She tried to put it into her spatial dimension, but found that it wouldn't fit.
Left with no other choice, she could only hide behind the crowd, trying her best to avoid being noticed.
After all, this Heavenly Pearl is far too important, concerning the safety of all living beings.
My aunt deliberately stood in front of the vines, raising her leather whip in preparation for battle!
She stared intently at the men in black, her eyes flashing with a cold light, as if she could see through all their schemes.
The old man's expression was calm, and his eyes revealed a composure and calmness born from years of experience.
He gently waved his staff, creating a sturdy barrier in front of everyone.
The barrier was composed of light, radiating mysterious energy fluctuations; each ray of light contained ancient and powerful energy.
It was as if they were declaring to the men in black: This is not a place you can invade at will.
Seeing this, the man in black charged forward without hesitation, and a fierce battle ensued...
The men in black surged forward like a tide, their sharp blades gleaming coldly as they sliced through the air with a piercing whistle.
The wolf king launched the first attack, golden light transforming into sharp arrows that shot towards the man in black.
Wherever the arrows struck, the men in black screamed and fell to the ground, but their numbers were vast, and they advanced wave after wave without showing any sign of retreat.
The wolf cub, the deer, and the myna bird were not to be outdone.
The little wolf spat out a spell, which formed a sharp sword and shot it towards the enemy. The men in black were struck by the little wolf's spell and fell to the ground.
The little deer used its small size to nimbly attack the man in black's knees and heels.
The men in black were caught off guard by the deer's attack and lost their balance.
The myna bird circled in the air, spewing out streams of flames that instantly ignited several men in black. They panicked and rolled on the ground, trying to extinguish the flames on their bodies.
Chongyang Jushi brandished his sword, the blade flashing, each swing carrying a sharp sword aura, forcing the black-clad men charging in front of him back.
His swordsmanship was exquisite, each move containing profound internal strength, and his sword energy was so powerful that the men in black dared not approach him easily.
The old woman's leather whip danced like a nimble snake, its tip striking the man in black with a "crackling" sound, leaving trails of blood.
Her eyes were cold, her movements were swift and decisive, and each attack was full of power and skill, repelling the black-clad men who approached the foliage one by one.
Hua Yeman hid behind the crowd, tightly protecting the Heavenly Pearl, her heart filled with anxiety.
She watched the fierce battle ahead, wanting to help but afraid of being targeted, so she could only silently pray that everyone would be safe.
The old man stood at the back, chanting incantations and continuously channeling power into the barrier to ensure its stability.
His forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat, but his eyes remained firm as he kept a close eye on the situation on the battlefield, ready to lend a helping hand at a critical moment.
The battle intensified, and both sides were locked in a fierce struggle.
The men in black gradually gained the upper hand in numbers, and the group began to find themselves struggling to keep up.
The wolf king's golden light dimmed, and the frequency of its attacks gradually decreased;
The wolf cub, the deer, and the myna bird all suffered injuries of varying degrees, and their movements became sluggish.
Chongyang Jushi's breathing became rapid, and his swordsmanship also showed some flaws;
The old aunt's whip no longer swung with such force, and a look of exhaustion appeared on her face.
The fierce battle raged on, with shouts of battle and the clashing of weapons creating a terrifying atmosphere.
The group struggled to hold on under the onslaught of the men in black, their strength gradually waning.
Each swing of the sword and each casting of a spell became increasingly difficult.
Just when everyone was feeling hopeless, a melodious flute melody came, like a clear and sweet spring.
This clear spring washed away their physical exhaustion and inner fear.
Both sides in the conflict were wondering, "Who is this? Which side is it from?"
