Cultivating immortality relies on spatial abilities; defying fate to become the protagonist.

Chapter 305

As the investigation deepened, it was discovered that a mysterious dark force seemed to be deliberately causing sabotage.

"Senior brothers, have you also made some discoveries?"

Mo Yu looked into the distance and said, "Yes, junior sister, we have discovered a mysterious dark force, which should be the culprit behind the crisis in the Immortal Realm."

"Right! Sister, we've also discovered the dark forces that Senior Brother Mo mentioned, but they're very well hidden. If we don't root them out and eliminate them, the consequences will be dire..."

Gu Nansheng frowned. She knew that even if the targets on the mission panel were met, the Immortal Realm would not be able to truly return to peace until the dark forces were eliminated.

On this day, Gu Nansheng's team encountered the minions of the dark forces. During a confrontation with the minions, she keenly sensed the evil aura emanating from them, which was faintly related to the forbidden power of ancient times.

This discovery greatly surprised her. The power of the ancients was not to be underestimated. The ancient era was the most prosperous time for cultivating immortality. At that time, all kinds of cultivation methods and forbidden techniques emerged one after another.

And because of this, the ancient prosperity was shattered, ultimately ending in destruction. Now, the Immortal Realm is likely...

With a solemn expression, Gu Shihan gathered his teammates together, took a deep breath, and slowly said, "Everyone, after this period of investigation and tracking, I have finally discovered the source of the dark forces!"

That was actually an evil, forbidden power originating from ancient times. My guess is that someone recklessly used this terrifying power.

Upon hearing this news, everyone was shocked. Duan Siqi pressed, "Shi Han, besides these, have you made any other discoveries?"

Gu Shihan nodded and continued, "Just a few days ago, I encountered some henchmen of the dark forces. When I got close to them, I could clearly feel a strong and evil aura emanating from them."

After careful investigation and verification, it was finally determined that this evil aura originated from a forbidden power from ancient times.

He paused, his gaze sweeping over everyone present, before continuing, "As everyone knows, at the end of the ancient era, although the land was shattered and life was devastated, many things were still preserved."

For example, the mysterious caves left behind by ancient powerful beings, the incredibly powerful magical artifacts, and the unfathomable cultivation techniques and manuals, etc.

However, we cannot ignore the fact that not everything that remains is beneficial, just like this forbidden power.

At this moment, the cultivator Mo Qi, who had been silent all along, suddenly spoke up and echoed, "What Chief Gu said is absolutely right. Back in ancient times, it was a time of great diversity and intellectual ferment, with all sorts of magical powers and treasures emerging one after another."

But it is precisely because of this that the seeds of destruction were sown. An excessive pursuit of power often leads one into an endless abyss of desire from which there is no escape.

"Chief Gu, what should we do?" someone asked.

After a moment of contemplation, Gu Nansheng slowly said, "In my opinion, our three groups should split up and each advance along a different path."

However, it's important to note that you shouldn't stray too far apart, so you can support and coordinate with each other. I'll go ahead to scout ahead; you can all wait a moment and then follow me. Don't worry, I'll leave clear clues and information along the way to facilitate your tracking.”

However, upon hearing this, Shi Qinghan shook his head repeatedly, expressing his opposition: "Sister, this is absolutely not advisable! You know, it would be quite dangerous for you to go alone! In my opinion, it would be more appropriate for us to travel together."

“That’s right! Shi Han, let’s go together! That way we can all look out for each other.” Gu Jiahui quickly chimed in.

Gu Shihan replied resolutely, "Don't worry, I have Xingbai and Yutong by my side, they will definitely keep me safe and sound."

Seeing this, Mo Yu knew he couldn't change Gu Shihan's mind, so he could only helplessly instruct her, "Since that's the case, junior sister, you must be extra careful on your journey and remember to put your own safety first!"

Gu Shihan nodded without further hesitation and immediately led Xingbai and Yutong on their journey.

Her expression was solemn, with a hint of worry between her brows, but her beautiful eyes shone with unwavering determination.

She whispered, "Xingbai, Yutong, the mysterious force we are facing this time is no ordinary being. There must be a huge crisis and challenge hidden behind it. Therefore, we must speed up and find an effective strategy as soon as possible."

Xingbai and Yutong exchanged a knowing glance, then nodded vigorously in unison, as if conveying to Gu Shihan their fearless determination and confidence in completing the mission.

The three of them, master and servants, followed the faint, almost imperceptible clue, like a candle flickering in the wind, trekking through mountains and rivers until they finally arrived at an ancient ruin long abandoned by time.

This ruin resembles a sleeping behemoth, exuding a suffocating stench of decay. The surrounding walls, weathered by time, are now mottled and covered with countless bizarre and eerie patterns.

These patterns, with their twisted lines and grotesque shapes, seem to be telling people through the cold stone wall about that long-forgotten terrible past and the earth-shattering disaster that once befell this place.

Gu Shihan took a deep breath, steadied herself, and carefully stepped into this mysterious and dangerous area.

He gripped the gleaming Seven Star Silk Sword tightly in his right hand, the gems inlaid on the hilt shimmering with an eerie light, seemingly trembling with tension in anticipation of the unknown challenges to come.

However, the moment they stepped into the ruins, a series of whooshing sounds rang out, and countless extremely sharp arrows shot towards them from all directions like a storm!

At the same time, the solid ground beneath their feet suddenly cracked open with huge fissures without warning, from which raging flames erupted, instantly turning the entire space into a hellish scene.

Faced with such a perilous situation, Gu Shihan remained calm and composed. His eyes were wide open, he muttered incantations, and his hands quickly formed hand seals, unleashing the earth-elemental spiritual power he had honed over many years.

A thick earthen wall suddenly rose up, barely blocking the arrows flying towards them. With a swift movement, they skillfully avoided the widening cracks and the flames that spewed out.

Not only that, Xingbai, who was standing to the side, was not idle either. He shouted loudly, and a powerful spatial force surged out from his body.
