Chapter 34 Undercurrents and Mysterious Visitors
Beneath the calm surface, unseen undercurrents are quietly surging in the mysterious depths of the world. Although Xuanyuan Che's country has become increasingly prosperous and a model for other nations after the Misty Abyss incident, the exploration of mysterious powers by various countries has also become increasingly in-depth. Some ancient ruins and forbidden places that have been sealed for a long time have begun to exude an alluring yet dangerous aura.
One day, Xuan Yuanche was discussing matters concerning the exchange of spiritual cultivation experiences with other countries with his ministers in the royal palace's council hall when suddenly, a strange fluctuation emanated from the depths of the palace. The fluctuation contained an unfamiliar yet powerful aura of spiritual energy, instantly alerting Xuan Yuanche. He flashed forward like lightning towards the source of the fluctuation, with Su Yao and several other palace experts following closely behind.
When they arrived at the royal library, a portal shimmering with a ghostly light appeared out of nowhere within. Figures flickered within the portal. Xuan Yuanche and the others immediately formed a defensive formation, their eyes fixed on the portal. A moment later, a mysterious figure in black robes, with a cold and stern face, emerged from the portal. He exuded an ancient and mysterious aura, as if he came from the depths of a distant time and space.
"Who are you? Why are you trespassing into my royal library?" Xuan Yuanche shouted sternly, his sword slightly drawn, spiritual energy flowing across its blade.
The mysterious man glanced at Xuan Yuanche, a slight smirk playing on his lips: "Xuan Yuanche, do you think you've mastered the world's mysterious power? It's nothing but a superficial understanding. I come from the distant Shadow Realm, here to search for a long-lost artifact, and the clues to that artifact are said to be in your library."
Xuanyuan Che was startled. He had heard of the Shadow Realm before; it was a place shrouded in darkness and mystery, where the power was dangerous and unpredictable. But he would not be intimidated by the other party's aura. He calmly said, "No matter where you come from, it is absolutely impossible for you to act recklessly in my palace."
The mysterious figure sneered, suddenly forming a hand seal, and a surge of black spiritual energy rushed towards Xuan Yuanche and the others like a tidal wave. Xuan Yuanche shouted, waving his sword, and a golden spiritual energy barrier instantly rose, protecting everyone within it. Su Yao also quickly cast a spell, and runes flew from her hands, merging into the barrier to enhance its defense.
After a brief stalemate, the mysterious figure suddenly increased his spiritual energy output. Black spiritual energy, like a dragon, crashed against the golden barrier, causing cracks to appear. Seeing this, Xuan Yuanche knew he couldn't just sit and wait to die. He flashed through the barrier and attacked the mysterious figure. His sword drew a sharp arc in the air, creating gusts of wind.
The mysterious man remained calm, subtly shifting his body to avoid Xuan Yuanche's attack. Simultaneously, he struck Xuan Yuanche's chest with a backhand palm strike. Xuan Yuanche quickly dodged, but was still struck by the force of the palm, staggering backward a few steps.
Just then, Su Yao seized the opportunity, and a magic wand radiating blue light appeared in her hand. She waved the wand, chanting incantations, and a huge ice pillar shot up from the ground, heading towards the mysterious man. The mysterious man was trapped by the ice pillar and unable to move for a moment.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Xuan Yuanche adjusted his breathing and attacked again with his sword. He unleashed all his skills, and the spiritual light on his sword grew even more dazzling, pressing down on the mysterious man like a blazing sun. After struggling for a moment in the ice pillar, the mysterious man suddenly unleashed a powerful dark force, shattering the ice pillar, and then vanished from the spot in a flash.
Xuanyuan Che and the others searched everywhere, only to find that the mysterious person had vanished. Just as they were wondering what was going on, a strange symbol appeared on the floor of the library, shimmering with a faint light, seemingly conveying some kind of information.
Su Yao crouched down, carefully studying the symbol, her brows furrowed. "This is an ancient rune. I've never seen such a complex structure before. It seems to be pointing to somewhere," Su Yao said.
After a moment of contemplation, Xuanyuan Che decided to follow the runes' guidance to investigate. He knew that the appearance of this mysterious visitor was no accident, and that a greater conspiracy must be hidden behind it. If the truth was not uncovered in time, the nation and even the entire world could be plunged into a great crisis.
So, Xuanyuan Che selected several elite guards and, together with Su Yao, embarked on a journey to follow the guidance of the mysterious runes. They traversed dense forests and treacherous mountains, encountering various strange creatures and mysterious spiritual traps along the way.
In an ancient valley, they discovered a forgotten temple. The temple exuded a powerful and ancient aura, surrounded by a thick mist that obscured its interior. Xuan Yuanche and the others cautiously entered the temple, where the walls were covered with various mysterious patterns and characters, which seemed to tell a long-ago story.
As they carefully examined the patterns on the walls, the temple doors suddenly slammed shut, plunging them into darkness. Immediately afterward, eerie beams of light shot out from the darkness, heading straight for them. Xuan Yuanche and the others quickly dodged, simultaneously preparing for the impending danger.
In this moment of crisis, a strong belief surged within Xuan Yuanche. He was convinced that he could lead everyone through the predicament, uncover the truth behind the mysterious visitor, and safeguard the peace and tranquility of the nation and the world. Meanwhile, the love and understanding between him and Su Yao deepened with each trial, becoming a powerful source of strength for them in the face of unknown dangers.
