Jackie Chan: The Supreme Sorcerer, invited by his father to come out of seclusion

Ximu's lair is not built in the material world, but hidden in a distorted spatial rift.

The place is shrouded in thick black mist all year round, filled with all kinds of negative energy and twisted monsters, a forbidden place that ordinary creatures dare not set foot in.

However, at this moment, on the edge of this dark kingdom, a petite figure is cautiously sneaking along.

It's a little snake!

She is not human, but rather the embodiment of some ancient and mysterious spirit. She is born with an extremely keen sense of various energy fluctuations and is skilled in concealment and stealth.

She was accidentally "rescued" by Jackie Chan and his group and ended up following them around without really understanding what was going on.

But during the chaos in Xiaofeng Territory, she secretly broke away from the group when no one was paying attention.

She wasn't particularly interested in saving the world or fighting demons.

What attracted her were those legendary treasures that contained immense power.

For example... the book "The Book of One Hundred Ghosts and Strange Tales" that the Holy Lord mentioned.

The little snake possessed the special ability to track faint auras, and she detected the source of the unique, pure, and ancient dark power emanating from Ximu—it originated from that forbidden book!
So, she quietly followed the lingering scent of Ximu and tracked it all the way, and actually found this dark kingdom hidden in the spatial rift!

"Wow, the aura of treasures here is so strong." The little snake licked its lips, its eyes sparkling with excitement.

Like the most nimble shadow, she evaded the terrifying monsters that roamed in the black mist and stealthily made her way toward the black spire in the heart of the kingdom, which emanated the strongest dark energy.

She could sense that the "Book of One Hundred Ghosts and Strange Tales" was inside!

However, just as the little snake was about to approach the spire, and could even see the black crystal at the top of the tower emitting a ghostly light, it was about to...

A terrifying pressure descended from the sky, as if it were a tangible force!

The sky instantly turned even darker, and the thick black mist churned like boiling ink, condensing into a huge and ferocious face!

His pure black eyes were fixed on the tiny figure below!

"Thief--!"

Simuna's sharp, piercing roar, filled with endless rage, exploded like thunder throughout the entire Dark Kingdom!
He's back! And he's even angrier than when he left!
The little snake trembled in fear at the sudden pressure and roar, and instinctively tried to use its escape technique to run away!

But the black energy imprisonment that Ximu unleashed in his anger was far more powerful than she had imagined!
The surrounding black energy surged in like living things, transforming into countless viscous tentacles that instantly entangled her limbs and bones, trapping her firmly in place!
"Let me go! You ugly monster!" The little snake struggled desperately, but like a moth caught in a spider's web, the more it struggled, the tighter it was bound.

"Ugly monster?" Ximu's狰狞 face slowly descended, his pure black eyes burning with mocking rage. "It seems I need to show you what true fear is!"

The black energy tentacles began to tighten, and the little snake felt its bones groaning, making it difficult to breathe.

Just when she thought she was about to be crushed.

"stop!"

Several figures rushed in from the entrance of the spatial rift like shooting stars. They were Jackie Chan, Uncle, Tru, and Jade, who had come to track down the little snake's aura!

They saw the small snake bound by black energy, and Ximu floating in the air, radiating overwhelming demonic power!
"Jackie Chan?!" Xi Mu was slightly taken aback when he saw the newcomer, then let out an even more arrogant laugh, "Hehehe! You've got the road to heaven but you choose the path to hell! Perfect! Saves me the trouble of coming after you!"

"Release her!" Jackie Chan roared and charged straight at Ximu!

"Overestimating yourself!" Ximu sneered and waved his hand casually.

An even more powerful beam of black energy shot out, instantly sending Jackie Chan flying!
"Uncle Long!" Xiaoyu exclaimed, immediately trying to activate the positive energy within her body.

"Demons and monsters, get out of here!" The old man reacted even faster, and several talismans imbued with righteous energy were already flying out of his hand, shooting towards the black tentacles binding the little snake!

scoff!

The talisman burst forth with golden light, colliding with the black tentacles and producing a corrosive sound!
The tentacles' restraints loosened slightly!
It's now!

A glint flashed in the little snake's eyes, and its body twisted violently as if it had no bones, managing to slip free from its restraints!

After landing, she didn't hesitate and immediately rushed towards the spire!
Her goal, from beginning to end, has always been "The Book of One Hundred Ghosts and Strange Tales"!
"Trying to run?!" Ximu roared in fury, about to attack again!

But at that moment, Tru's massive body roared and charged forward, his huge fist, imbued with righteous energy, slamming fiercely towards Ximu!

Ximu had to distract himself from Tru's attack.

Jackie Chan quickly got up and rejoined the battle.

The old man constantly harassed Ximu with talismans and magical potions, trying to limit his dark magic.

Seeing an opportunity, Xiaoyu immediately activated the positive energy within her body, condensing it into a golden beam of light that shot towards Ximu's back!

For a moment, the four of them were locked in a fierce battle with Ximu, whose strength had greatly increased!
Although they were still at a disadvantage, they managed to hold off Ximu for the time being thanks to their tacit cooperation and their father's endless stream of magical items!
Taking advantage of the chaos, the little snake darted into the black spire like a nimble cat!

The inside of the spire is even more gloomy than the outside.

The walls were covered with twisted runes, and the air was filled with dense dark energy.

At the very top of the spire, on an altar made of bones, a book floats silently.

A dark red leather cover, shrouded in mystery with no words.

It is the Book of One Hundred Ghosts and Strange Tales!
An unprecedented light of excitement shone in the little snake's eyes!
With a leap, she reached out and grabbed the book!
However, just as her fingertips were about to touch the pages, a sudden change occurred!

The dark red ancient book suddenly burst forth with a dazzling light!

But that light was not pure darkness, but... a kaleidoscope of colors!
Red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue, purple!

Seven colors of light surged out of the book like a tide, instantly filling the entire top of the spire!

An indescribable, vast, and majestic aura, yet imbued with boundless majesty, suddenly descended!

This aura is completely different from Ximu's dark power!
It is older, purer, and closer to some kind of origin of the universe!

"This...this is?!" The little snake was stunned by this sudden change, its outstretched hand freezing in mid-air.

She could sense that the power contained within that seven-colored light was far more terrifying than Ximu's black magic!
Meanwhile, outside the spire.

Ximu, who was fighting with Jackie Chan and others, suddenly stopped!

He looked up in disbelief at the seven-colored light shooting into the sky from the top of the spire, and for the first time, a glint appeared in his pure black eyes…

Extreme shock and... a hint of fear from the depths of my soul!
"No! Impossible!" Ximu screamed, his voice shrill with fear. "This power...it's...it's Him?!"

"How could He wake up?! He shouldn't be..."

His words came to an abrupt halt, for the seven-colored light, as if it had come to life, began to spread rapidly outwards!
Wherever the light touched, the dark energy that Ximu was so proud of melted away like ice and snow!
The twisted black monsters guarding the scene let out a silent wail the moment they came into contact with the seven-colored light, and turned into ashes!

The entire Dark Kingdom trembled and collapsed violently under the illumination of this seven-colored light!
"Damn it!" Ximu could no longer care about Jackie Chan and the others, nor about the "Book of a Hundred Ghosts and Strange Tales," and turned to turn into black smoke and escape!

But it's too late!

The seven-colored light, like an all-pervasive tide, instantly engulfed him!

"what--!!!"

Ximu let out a final, shrill, and unwilling scream. His body, formed from black energy, crumbled inch by inch under the wash of the seven-colored light, and finally vanished completely, leaving not even a trace of his soul behind!

The seven-colored light did not stop; it continued to spread outward, breaking through the rift in space, stretching across the sky like a rainbow, and finally... landing in a specific direction.

……

Dad's Antique Shop.

Xiaoyu finally woke up from her coma.

Looking at Jackie Chan, her father, and Tru around her, she asked somewhat confusedly, "Where...where am I?"

"Xiaoyu! You're awake!" Jackie Chan exclaimed in surprise.

"Oh! That's great!" Dad breathed a sigh of relief.

Xiaoyu rubbed her still slightly dizzy head, then suddenly remembered something and sat up abruptly: "The Book of One Hundred Ghosts and Strange Tales! Ximu! He..."

"Don't worry, Jade." Jackie Chan smiled. "Ximu has been dealt with."

"Resolved?" Xiaoyu's eyes widened. "How was it resolved?"

Jackie Chan briefly told Jade what had happened.

When she heard that the "Book of One Hundred Ghosts and Strange Tales" had burst forth with seven-colored light and directly annihilated Ximu, Xiaoyu's mouth opened into an "O" shape.

"Then...what about that book?" Xiaoyu asked quickly.

Jackie Chan shook his head: "I don't know. After the seven-colored light disappeared, the book... also disappeared."

Just then, the old man suddenly picked up the ancient book with a metal cover that he had brought back from Qionglou from the table, his brows furrowed.

"Father... seems to know what happened." Father's voice was tinged with seriousness.

He pointed to a passage in an ancient book: "This book says... the origin of darkness is not only negative. When darkness reaches its extreme, or when it is subjected to some kind of strong stimulus, there is a very small chance... that... seven purely positive forces will be born..."

“Seven-colored light…” The old man raised his head and looked at everyone, “That might be… the ultimate form of righteous magic…”

He looked at Xiaoyu, his eyes filled with complex emotions: "Xiaoyu, although the dark energy in your body has been cleared, but..."

He paused, his tone becoming even more serious.

"That seven-colored light, in the end, seemed to... fly towards... the place you mentioned."

"You mean... Peach Garden?" Xiaoyu's heart skipped a beat.

The old man nodded slowly.

“It seems…” the old man sighed, “our journey is far from over.”

"We must go to Taoyuan! We need to find out what exactly happened there!" (End of Chapter)
