Chapter 133 Secret
A dazzling white light engulfed the two, as if they had traveled through a time tunnel. When the light dissipated, Zhuang Yu and Wang Yao found themselves in a completely new space.
Unlike the familiar caves, this place was no longer just monotonous rocks and dim light.
Beneath my feet lies soft green grass, exuding a faint fragrance; above me is a clear blue sky, with a few white clouds drifting leisurely by.
In the distance, the rolling mountains spread out like an ink painting, while nearby, a clear stream meandered and flowed, making a gurgling sound.
The air is filled with birdsong and the fragrance of flowers, a veritable paradise.
"What a beautiful place..." Wang Yao couldn't help but exclaim, and her tense nerves relaxed.
She took a deep breath, feeling the fresh air, as if her body and mind had been cleansed.
Zhuang Yu was slightly surprised, but quickly regained his composure.
He looked around, and everything here seemed so harmonious and natural, yet it also exuded a mysterious aura.
He squeezed Wang Yao's hand and gave her a reassuring smile. "Let's go, let's go take a look."
The two walked slowly along the stream. The water was crystal clear, and they could clearly see the pebbles and swimming fish at the bottom.
A gentle breeze carries the fragrance of flowers, making one feel refreshed and relaxed.
After walking for about half an hour, the scene before them changed again.
The once lush green grass was gradually replaced by black rocks, and the fragrance of flowers in the air disappeared, replaced by a faint smell of decay.
"Be careful, something feels off here," Zhuang Yu warned, his eyes scanning the surroundings warily as he secretly gathered a wisp of spiritual energy in his hand.
Wang Yao also noticed something was wrong. She followed closely behind Zhuang Yu, not daring to slack off in the slightest.
As the two ventured deeper, the surrounding black rocks grew taller and taller, eventually forming a dark canyon.
Thick black fog filled the canyon, making it impossible to see one's hand in front of one's face. The only sound was the howling of the eerie wind, which sent chills down one's spine.
Zhuang Yu slowed down his pace, and the spiritual energy within his body circulated even faster.
He carefully surveyed his surroundings, trying to find a clue.
Suddenly, he sensed a powerful aura rapidly approaching.
"Yao'er, be careful!" Zhuang Yu suddenly pulled Wang Yao behind him and released a powerful spiritual energy shield at the same time.
A deafening roar echoed through the canyon, and a dark figure darted out from the thick fog, rushing straight at Zhuang Yu.
Zhuang Yu's eyes sharpened. "They're here!"
The shadowy figure moved with incredible speed, arriving in front of Zhuang Yu in the blink of an eye.
It was a monster, entirely black and wolf-like, with eyes flashing crimson and claws gleaming coldly in the black mist—it was the Shadow Beast.
It opened its blood-red maw and let out a deafening roar at Zhuang Yu, a stench wafting towards him.
Zhuang Yu remained calm and composed, instantly raising his spiritual energy shield to block the Shadow Beast's fierce impact.
With a muffled "thud," the shield rippled, but did not shatter.
He used his left hand to protect Wang Yao behind him, and with a flick of his right hand, a dazzling beam of spiritual energy condensed into a sword, pointing directly at the Shadow Beast.
The Shadow Beast seemed enraged by Zhuang Yu's defense, and its claws suddenly lashed out, unleashing a barrage of black claw shadows with a fierce gust of wind, sweeping towards Zhuang Yu from all directions.
Zhuang Yu lightly touched the ground with his feet, his figure moving like a willow leaf in the wind, weaving through the dense claw shadows and nimbly dodging the attacks.
The Shadow Beast's attack missed its target, crashing into the black rock with a loud thud, shattering the rock and sending fragments flying.
Wang Yao's heart leaped into her throat. Her hands clenched into fists, her nails digging deep into her palms. She wanted to help, but knew that her meager strength would only be a burden to Zhuang Yu here.
Just as the Shadow Beast pounced again, a glint flashed in Zhuang Yu's eyes. He stopped dodging and suddenly drew his sword. The sword light pierced through the black mist like lightning and struck the Shadow Beast squarely in the abdomen.
"Agh!" The Shadow Beast cried out in pain, letting out a shrill scream, and its body was knocked back several steps by the sword light.
However, the Shadow Beast's defense was unexpectedly strong. It was only slightly injured by the sword light, without suffering fatal damage.
Instead of pressing his advantage, Zhuang Yu suddenly stopped attacking. He sheathed his spiritual sword, slowly extended his hand, palm facing upward, and a gentle yet powerful spiritual energy fluctuation emanated from his palm.
This spiritual energy fluctuation was completely different from the Shadow Beast's attack; it carried no aggression whatsoever, but rather seemed to be conveying some kind of information.
The Shadow Beast was somewhat bewildered by Zhuang Yu's actions. It stopped attacking, its scarlet eyes fixed on the spiritual energy fluctuations in Zhuang Yu's palm, seemingly wondering about Zhuang Yu's intentions, or perhaps trying to understand something.
The black mist that filled the canyon also became quiet, with only faint spiritual energy fluctuations trembling in the air.
"What...what is he doing?" Wang Yao looked at Zhuang Yu curiously, her tone tinged with doubt.
Zhuang Yu did not answer Wang Yao's question; his gaze remained fixed on the Shadow Beast, as if they were having a silent exchange.
Time passed slowly, and the canyon was silent, creating an eerie atmosphere. Finally, the Shadow Beast let out a low growl and turned to walk into the depths of the canyon.
The Shadow Beast's enormous form disappeared into the depths of the thick fog, and the canyon returned to silence, with only the howling of the eerie wind still echoing.
Zhuang Yu slowly lowered his hand, a confident smile appearing on his face, as if everything was under his control.
He exuded a mysterious charm that filled Wang Yao's eyes with admiration.
"Brother Zhuang Yu, you're amazing!" Wang Yao exclaimed sincerely, her voice filled with admiration.
Zhuang Yu chuckled, ruffled Wang Yao's hair, and said, "Let's go, let's keep going."
The two continued deeper into the canyon, and as the black mist gradually dissipated, an ancient stone gate appeared before them.
The stone gate was carved with intricate runes, emitting a faint golden light.
The space around the stone gate seemed to be distorted and deformed, and a strange energy fluctuation permeated the air, making people feel a sense of oppression.
Zhuang Yu walked to the stone gate, carefully examining the runes on it, his brows furrowed.
He had never seen these runes before, but he could sense the immense power they contained.
He reached out and gently touched the runes on the stone door. A jolt of electricity instantly coursed through his body, causing him to involuntarily pull his hand back.
"This is... the power of space?" Zhuang Yu thought to himself.
But he was also filled with worry.
The runes on this stone door are so complex, can he unravel their mysteries?
If he can't untangle it, will he be trapped here?
The surrounding space seemed to be putting pressure on him as well. The runes on the walls flickered with an eerie light, and the strange energy fluctuations in the air grew stronger and stronger, as if they were about to devour him at any moment.
Zhuang Yu took a deep breath, trying to calm herself down.
He knew that now was not the time to hesitate; he had to overcome his fears and bravely face the challenge.
He reached out again, placed his palm on the stone door, closed his eyes, concentrated his mind, and tried to sense the power of the runes on the stone door.
Time passed second by second, and the runes on the stone gate continued to flash, but Zhuang Yu was still unable to find the key to solving the mystery.
He began to feel anxious, and fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.
The pressure of the surrounding space was increasing, making it difficult for him to breathe, as if a mountain was pressing down on his chest.
Suddenly, Zhuang Yu felt a powerful force coming from the stone door, which pushed him away violently.
He staggered back a few steps and sat down on the ground with a thud. The runes on the stone door shone even brighter, and the surrounding space trembled violently, as if it were about to collapse at any moment.
"What happened?" Wang Yao exclaimed, and quickly ran to Zhuang Yu's side to help him stand up.
Zhuang Yu shook his head, his face pale. He looked up at the stone gate and muttered to himself, "Could it be... that I was wrong?"
Just then, the runes on the stone gate suddenly stopped flashing, and the light gradually dimmed.
The surrounding space returned to calm, as if nothing had happened.
Zhuang Yu and Wang Yao looked at each other, their hearts filled with doubt.
Suddenly, a glint flashed in Zhuang Yu's eyes. He seemed to have thought of something, and he stood up abruptly, pointing to a rune on the stone door and saying, "Yao'er, look..." Zhuang Yu pointed to an inconspicuous rune on the stone door. The rune was like a tiny vortex, standing out as particularly low-key among the other complex runes.
His eyes gleamed with excitement, and his tone carried a hint of determination: "This is the key! Those seemingly complex runes are just to mislead us. What truly opens this door is this seemingly insignificant vortex."
Wang Yao looked at the small vortex with a puzzled expression, "But, Brother Zhuang Yu, it looks so ordinary..."
Zhuang Yu smiled slightly and explained confidently, "True power is often hidden in the most inconspicuous places. It's like cultivation; seemingly ordinary breathing can contain the profound principles of heaven and earth." As he spoke, he slowly stretched out his hand and gently touched the vortex rune with his fingertips.
In an instant, a powerful energy surged into Zhuang Yu's body from the vortex rune, spreading through his limbs and bones like an electric current, leaving him feeling tingly yet full of power.
He felt his soul trembling, as if he were resonating with this space.
The other runes on the stone gate also lit up, their light intertwining to form a dazzling net of runes.
With a crisp "click," the stone door slowly opened to both sides, revealing a dazzling light behind it.
The light, like a newborn sun, instantly dispelled the gloom in the canyon and illuminated everything around it.
At the center of the light is a source of energy radiating a soft glow, like a beating heart containing endless vitality.
Zhuang Yu took a deep breath, feeling the powerful yet pure energy, and a confident smile appeared on his face.
He turned his head, gave Wang Yao a reassuring look, and then strode resolutely toward the source of that power.
His every step was firm and powerful, like a king surveying his territory.
His robes swayed gently with his steps, and in the light, he looked like a god descending.
Looking at Zhuang Yu's resolute back, Wang Yao felt a surge of pride and admiration.
She knew that her brother Zhuang Yu would succeed and become even stronger.
She clenched her fists tightly, silently cheering him on.
Just as Zhuang Yu was about to touch the source of power, the surrounding space suddenly began to distort, and the originally calm air began to churn like boiling water.
An invisible barrier appeared from the void, firmly blocking Zhuang Yu from the source of power.
The barrier exuded a suffocating sense of oppression, as if an invisible hand was tightly gripping Zhuang Yu's throat.
Zhuang Yu stopped in his tracks, his brows furrowed. He reached out and gently touched the invisible barrier, but a powerful backlash instantly repelled him.
He staggered back a few steps, his face turning pale, his heart filled with shock.
The power of this restriction was far stronger than he had imagined.
The space distorted even more violently, and the surrounding scenery began to become blurry.
An unsettling atmosphere hung in the air, as if a storm was about to break.
Zhuang Yu's heart also jumped. He turned to look at Wang Yao, about to say something, but his words were abruptly interrupted by a powerful spatial force.
The invisible barrier became even more solid, like a huge cage, trapping Zhuang Yu inside.
The light from the source of his power shone even brighter, as if mocking his powerlessness.
The surrounding space began to crack, with fissures spreading out like a spider web.
"What happened?!" Wang Yao exclaimed, her voice tinged with panic.
However, she was suppressed by an invisible force and could not get close to Zhuang Yu at all.
Zhuang Yu gritted his teeth, trying to break free of the restriction, but the power of the barrier was too strong, and no matter how hard he tried, he could not budge it in the slightest.
His body was nearing its limit, but he still refused to give up.
The story ends abruptly, leaving a huge question: Will Zhuang Yu be able to break through the restrictions and obtain the source of power?
What secrets does this mysterious space hold?
Everything is still an unknown.
