Chapter 497 A New Mission and an Unknown Journey Under a Mysterious Light
A mysterious light streaked across the sky like a meteor, carrying an irresistible force, shooting straight towards the group collapsed in the valley. Zhang Peng and the others had just recovered from the fierce battle with the Dark Demon God and had not yet fully recovered from their exhaustion when they were drawn to this sudden light, watching its movements with bated breath.
The light slowly stopped before everyone, transforming into an old man dressed in a robe shimmering with seven-colored light. The old man's face was kind and benevolent, but his eyes were deep and unfathomable, revealing boundless wisdom and mystery. He exuded a gentle yet powerful spiritual energy, inspiring awe in all who beheld him.
"Are you the warriors who defeated the Dark God?" The old man's voice was gentle yet carried an undeniable authority, echoing through the valley.
Zhang Peng forced himself to stand up, exhausted, and bowed respectfully, saying, "It is we. May I ask who you are, senior?"
The old man nodded slightly and smiled, "I am an envoy from the Heavenly Realm, from the distant Heavenly Realm. I have come here because your awakening of the power of the stars and your defeat of the Dark Demon God have caused an anomaly in the spiritual energy of the world, which has attracted the attention of the Heavenly Realm."
Murong Yu asked curiously, "The Celestial Realm? What is that place? What is its connection to our cultivation world?"
The old man gazed into the distance and slowly said, "The Celestial Realm is a mysterious domain that transcends the cultivation world. It is where the purest spiritual energy and the most powerful cultivators in the world converge. The rise and fall of the cultivation world is closely related to the Celestial Realm. And now, your actions have broken the long-standing balance."
A bad feeling welled up in Liu Ruoli's heart, and she asked softly, "Does Senior mean... that we've caused trouble?"
The old man nodded solemnly: "The awakening of the Starry Sky Power and the destruction of the Dark Demon God have attracted the attention of an even more powerful evil force. They come from the depths of the void and have long coveted the Starry Sky Power. Now they are approaching the cultivation world."
Su Yi frowned and said worriedly, "Are we about to face a new disaster after just ending one crisis?"
The old man looked at Zhang Peng, his eyes full of expectation: "This crisis is indeed unprecedentedly powerful, but only you may be able to find a way to resolve it. The power of the stars shining brightly is one of the most powerful forces in the world, and its secrets are far more than what you currently know."
Zhang Peng took a deep breath and said firmly, "Senior, no matter how many difficulties and obstacles lie ahead, we will not back down. Please tell us, senior, how should we deal with this impending crisis?"
The old man took out an ancient jade box from his robes and handed it to Zhang Peng: "This is a secret treasure of the Heavenly Realm, the Star Origin Box. It can help you further comprehend the true meaning of the power of the stars. At the same time, the box also contains an ancient map that guides you to the Abyss of Stars. The Abyss of Stars is the source of the power of the stars. Perhaps there you can find the key to fighting against evil forces."
Zhang Peng carefully took the jade box and felt a mysterious power emanating from it, which resonated subtly with the Starry Sky Power within him.
The old man continued, "Besides the Star Origin Box, you also need to collect three divine artifacts. These three artifacts are the Chaos Spirit Pearl, the Sound Wave Divine Jade, and the Shadow Magic Crystal. They respectively contain the ultimate power of the Chaos Law, the Sound Wave Law, and the Dark Law, which resonate with the power of the Starry Sky. Collecting them may allow you to unleash power beyond imagination."
Murong Yu clenched his fist and said, "I have heard of the Chaos Spirit Pearl in ancient books. It is said that it is hidden deep in the Chaos Sea and guarded by a powerful Chaos Beast."
Liu Ruoli gently stroked the jade flute and pondered, "The Sound Jade may have some connection with this jade flute of mine. I will try my best to find its whereabouts."
Su Yi nodded slightly: "Shadow Crystal, the ultimate manifestation of the laws of darkness. As a practitioner of dark magic, I may be able to find some clues."
Zhang Peng looked at everyone gratefully: "Thank you all. With your support, I believe we will definitely overcome this crisis."
The old man looked at the crowd with satisfaction and said, "Your courage and determination have given me hope. But the road ahead is fraught with danger, so please be careful. I will be watching your every move from the Heavenly Realm, and if needed, the Heavenly Realm will certainly lend a helping hand."
After saying this, the old man transformed into a ray of light and disappeared into the horizon.
Zhang Peng and the others gazed in the direction where the old man had disappeared, a sense of mission welling up within them. They knew a new journey was about to begin, and this time, they would face unprecedented challenges…
