Chapter 161: The Test of Beginning
After Yun Yao officially entered the cultivation sect, she was immediately attracted by the unique atmosphere here. The sect is located in a mountain range shrouded in clouds and mist, with peaks towering into the clouds and a strong spiritual energy that seems to be materialized. Magnificent buildings are scattered in the mountains, with flying eaves, brackets, carved beams and painted buildings, exuding an ancient and mysterious atmosphere. The disciples are dressed in uniform, practicing martial arts in the square or practicing skills in the forest. Everyone is full of passion and pursuit for cultivation.
Yun Yao knew that in this new world, she had to adapt to the life and practice rhythm of the sect as soon as possible in order to have a chance to achieve her own counterattack. She got up early every day, went to the practice field, and followed other disciples to breathe in the spiritual energy, feeling the energy between heaven and earth flowing in her body. Although she was not used to this way of practice at first, with the tenacious will she cultivated in modern society, she quickly mastered the essentials and gradually felt a slight improvement in her strength.
However, the peaceful life of cultivation did not last long. One day, the sect suddenly issued a new mission, requiring the disciples to go to a mysterious ruins to search for treasures. This news was like a huge rock thrown into a calm lake, causing an uproar in the sect. The disciples talked about this mysterious ruins. It was said that it was the cave of a powerful person in ancient times. There were endless treasures and secrets hidden in it, but it was also full of dangers. Many people who went to explore it never returned.
After hearing the news, Yun Yao's heart was filled with a strong fighting spirit. She knew that this was a rare opportunity. Not only could she test her own strength, but she could also obtain resources in the ruins that would help her practice and thus accelerate her growth. So, she decided to participate in this mission without hesitation.
Chu Mochen, the prince of the neighboring country, has now become a highly regarded disciple in the sect. He is cold and aloof, powerful, and exudes an aura that is difficult to approach. He also signed up for this mission, perhaps out of confidence in his own strength, or perhaps because of his expectations for the treasure in the mysterious ruins.
During the mission preparation, Yun Yao and Chu Mochen inevitably had more contact. Although the two still disliked each other, they had to start exchanging some information about the mission for the smooth progress of the mission. Yun Yao found that although Chu Mochen looked indifferent, his analysis of the mission was very thorough, and he seemed to know more about the ruins than others. Chu Mochen also gradually realized that Yun Yao was not as simple as she seemed, and her wit and decisiveness gradually emerged in some discussions.
"Hmph, this mission is not as simple as you think. Don't hold me back." Chu Mochen said coldly.
Yun Yao rolled her eyes at him and responded, "Don't worry, it's still unclear who will hold back. But you, don't just care about yourself and ignore the team."
Although the two of them were harsh in their words, they did not slack off in their preparations. Together, they studied the limited information about the mysterious ruins in the sect and learned about the possible traps and guardian monsters in the ruins. Yun Yao also used her modern knowledge to think about some possible countermeasures, such as how to use physical principles to crack some simple traps. Chu Mochen listened silently on the side and occasionally put forward some of his own opinions. Although he did not quite understand some of the modern concepts that Yun Yao said, he could also feel the rationality of them.
As the departure date approaches, Yun Yao is both nervous and excited. She silently encourages herself in her heart, determined to perform well in this mission and improve her strength and status. At the same time, she is also full of expectations for the unknown challenges that she and Chu Mochen will face together.
Finally, the day of departure arrived. Yun Yao, Chu Mochen and other disciples, led by the elders of the sect, arrived at the entrance of the mysterious ruins. At the entrance was a huge stone door, which was engraved with complex runes and patterns, exuding an ancient and mysterious atmosphere. After the elders gave the disciples some precautions at the door, they opened the stone door.
As the stone door slowly opened, an old and mysterious atmosphere came to her face. Yun Yao took a deep breath and followed the team into the ruins. As soon as she entered the ruins, she felt a strong sense of oppression, as if a pair of invisible eyes were watching them. The surrounding walls were engraved with strange runes and patterns, which flashed a faint light and seemed to hide some secrets.
The disciples moved forward cautiously, taking every step with extreme caution. On the way, they encountered some simple traps, such as sudden arrows and trap pits on the ground. But with Yun Yao's wit and Chu Mochen's strength, these traps were successfully resolved. Yun Yao would observe the surrounding environment in advance and find some hidden clues to remind everyone to avoid the traps. Chu Mochen, with his powerful cultivation, easily blocked the attacks that he didn't have time to avoid.
Deep inside the ruins, they found a secret room. The door of the secret room was tightly closed, and a sparkling gem was inlaid on the door. Yun Yao guessed that this might be the key to opening the door, so she carefully observed the patterns around the gem and found some patterns. According to these patterns, she gently turned the gem, and with a "click", the door of the secret room slowly opened.
There were some precious elixirs and magic weapons stored inside, emitting an alluring light. The disciples couldn't help showing excitement when they saw these treasures. However, before they had time to be happy, a more powerful protective formation was triggered. The formation was activated instantly, and rays of light rose from the ground, forming a powerful barrier that trapped the disciples. At the same time, a powerful attack force was released from the formation, attacking the disciples like lightning.
The disciples were in trouble, some were injured, and some were panicked. Yun Yao also felt a huge pressure, but she did not panic. She relied on the system's prompts to try to find the flaws in the formation. The system showed her some information about the operating principle of the formation in her mind. Based on this information, she observed the flow and changes of the light in the formation.
Chu Mochen relied on his powerful cultivation to resist the attack of the formation. He waved his sword in his hand, releasing a powerful sword energy, trying to resist the attack of the formation. But the power of the formation was too strong, and his sword energy was instantly dissolved when it came into contact with the light.
"Don't panic, let's find a solution together!" Yun Yao shouted loudly, trying to calm everyone down. She dodged the attacks while continuing to observe the formation. Finally, she found a weak point in the formation, which was in the southeast corner. The light there flashed a little faster than other places, which seemed to be a node for the energy supply of the formation.
"Chu Mochen, southeast corner! Let's attack there together!" Yun Yao shouted loudly to Chu Mochen.
After hearing this, Chu Mochen immediately rushed towards the southeast corner. Yun Yao followed closely behind him, and the two worked together to cast spells to attack this weak point. Yun Yao condensed a ball of water energy in her hand, turned it into a water arrow and shot it at the weak point. Chu Mochen condensed his sword energy to the extreme and launched a powerful attack.
After a fierce battle, they finally succeeded in breaking the formation. The light dissipated, the barrier disappeared, and the disciples breathed a sigh of relief. With their help, the other disciples also escaped from danger and cast grateful eyes towards Yun Yao and Chu Mochen.
This experience created a tacit understanding between Yun Yao and Chu Mochen. They began to have a new understanding of each other and no longer confronted each other as before. When facing danger, they were able to cooperate with each other, play to their respective strengths, and overcome difficulties together.
