Soul travels through the world of immortality

When Li Mingyang focused his consciousness on the mysterious jade slip, a torrent of information instantly flooded into his mind. The amount of information and the scope of information were beyond imagination. They were like countless lightning bolts across the dark night sky, and like stars shining brightly in the sky.

As time went by, Li Mingyang gradually adapted to and began to digest this vast amount of knowledge. Each piece of information was like a key, opening a door to an unknown realm; and his soul was like being bathed in a sacred baptism, purified and sublimated like never before.

At this moment, Li Mingyang opened his eyes and was pleasantly surprised to find that the whole world was no longer blurry in his eyes, but presented a clarity and reality that he had never seen before. Mountains, rivers, flowers, birds, fish, insects, and even the tiny dust in the air could be seen clearly. This feeling was incomparable, as if he suddenly had the ability to see through the essence of all things.

However, just as Li Mingyang was immersed in this new perspective and the valuable knowledge he had just acquired, a voice as cold as the polar wind suddenly sounded in the depths of his mind without warning: "Young man!"

Although the voice was not loud, it contained a kind of frightening pressure, as if it came from the gods of ancient times, making people dare not disobey it. Li Mingyang felt his heart tremble suddenly, and a chill quickly spread along his spine. Before he could come to his senses, he was horrified to find that he had completely lost control of his body - his limbs were so stiff that they seemed to be cast in steel, and no matter how hard he tried, he could not move an inch; even breathing seemed to become extremely difficult, and every breath he took seemed to break through many obstacles.

"The inheritance you want is not something you can get easily! Maybe you already have a premonition in your heart. Yes, what you need to pay for it is definitely not simple. It is even possible that in the end, you will regret embarking on this treasure hunt." The mysterious voice came again, as if coming from the distant sky, but it echoed clearly in Li Mingyang's ears.

"Everything in the world follows the law of conservation of energy. Behind every powerful force there must be a corresponding price. This is especially true for the inheritance you are about to inherit! It contains endless mysteries and huge responsibilities. Now, you are faced with a difficult choice. This decision will determine the direction of your destiny and even affect the future of the entire cultivation world." The guardian's words were like a heavy hammer, hitting Li Mingyang's heart again and again.

At this moment, as the guardian's voice slowly fell, Li Mingyang suddenly found two light balls of the same size appearing out of thin air in front of him. One of the light balls emitted a soft and warm light, just like the warm sun in spring, which made people feel close to it; while the other light ball was completely the opposite, it exuded a cold breath, as if it could freeze everything around it, making people afraid.

The voice seemed to echo from ancient times, and it slowly explained with a mysterious and solemn aura: "When you choose the Orb of Light, endless light will descend upon you, granting you supreme and unrivaled power. However, this power does not belong to you alone, but comes with a heavy and sacred responsibility - to protect the entire cultivation world from all kinds of unknown threats from the outside world."

As soon as the voice fell, it continued, "But if you decide to choose the ball of darkness, then in an instant, your power will multiply at an alarming speed. But at the same time, the power of darkness will erode your mind and will, gradually devouring your self-awareness, until eventually, you are completely lost in it, and become the embodiment of evil that destroys everything."

Faced with such a difficult and critical decision, Li Mingyang could not help but frown and fell into a long and deep thought. Past memories flooded into his mind like a tide, and he clearly recalled the pure original intention in his heart when he resolutely embarked on this road of cultivation full of hardships and challenges. At that time, he was only interested in pursuing a higher level of cultivation, eager to break through his own limits and comprehend the truest and purest laws of the universe.

Not only that, he also remembered another important reason - to rely on his ever-increasing strength to protect those who are important to him and ensure that they are free from any possible harm. Because in his heart, these relatives, friends and lovers are the most precious existence in life, and they are worth protecting and defending for a lifetime.

At this moment, Li Mingyang knew that the so-called real power was not limited to simple and crude conquest and domination. On the contrary, it often meant silently persevering, selflessly dedicating, and even guarding and sacrificing at a huge cost. Only by adhering to such a belief can we truly control and use this power to benefit the world instead of bringing disaster.

Finally, after a long period of careful consideration and intense inner struggle, Li Mingyang finally made the crucial decision. He took a deep breath, then slowly stretched out his right hand, his eyes firmly fixed on the bright ball emitting dazzling light.

The moment his fingertips touched the ball of light, a warm and gentle light surged out like a tide, instantly wrapping him tightly in it. At that moment, Li Mingyang felt as if the whole world was left with only this dazzling light. At the same time, an unprecedented powerful force poured into his body like a torrent, quickly flowing through his limbs and bones. This power was both strange and exciting. It made Li Mingyang's body tremble slightly, but more of it was an indescribable sense of fulfillment.

However, along with this powerful force came a heavy sense of responsibility. This sense of responsibility was like a mountain pressing on Li Mingyang's heart, making him deeply aware that the mission he was shouldering would be extremely difficult. But at this moment, he did not have the slightest intention of retreating. Instead, his eyes became more resolute, and he secretly vowed in his heart that he would not fail in his mission.

At this moment, that cold voice sounded in his ears again: "Very good, your choice fully proves the purity and strength of your heart. From now on, you are not only the successor of this great inheritance, but also the backbone force to protect the peace and tranquility of the entire cultivation world!"

When Li Mingyang gradually recovered from the impact of this tremendous force, he was surprised to find himself in a completely unfamiliar environment. Looking around, he saw a vast, misty new world. This seemed to be the edge of the legendary cultivation world, and in the distance, he could vaguely see a group of mysterious figures ready to move...

Li Mingyang tightly grasped the bright ball of light, feeling the warmth and electric touch from his palm. As his contact with the ball of light increased, a huge information flow as vast as the sea of ​​stars surged in like a tide, instantly drowning his consciousness.

This information was like countless bright stars, spinning and colliding rapidly in his mind, each representing a mysterious and ancient piece of knowledge or skill. They intertwined and merged with each other, gradually outlining a magnificent picture, showing a magical world that had never been seen before.

Just as Li Mingyang was intoxicated with the pleasure of acquiring new knowledge, a voice as cold as frost suddenly sounded in the darkness without any warning: "The jade slip in this ball of light is a legacy. It will give you supreme power and help you embark on the path of becoming the strongest!"

Before he finished speaking, the space around him began to twist violently as if it was affected by some powerful force. The originally bright and dazzling light quickly dimmed like a candle in the wind until it disappeared. At the same time, a heavy and extremely oppressive atmosphere came over like a rolling dark cloud, making it almost impossible to breathe.

Li Mingyang's heart trembled, and he raised his head quickly. He saw a tall and straight man in a simple robe slowly stepping out from the heavy shadows. The man's steps were light and steady, and each step seemed to carry a strange rhythm.

When the man completely walked out of the shadows, Li Mingyang finally saw his face clearly. It was a face with strong lines and clear contours, sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, and a slightly raised lip under the high nose bridge, revealing an imperceptible smile. However, the most eye-catching thing was his eyes as deep as the sea, the light flashing in them was unpredictable, sometimes cold and ruthless, sometimes gentle and kind, making it impossible to guess what he was thinking.

"I am the guardian of this relic, and the descendant of the mighty one you are seeking." The man's voice was deep and magnetic, as if it could penetrate one's soul. "This jade slip does contain a world-shaking and peerless technique, but don't be too happy, because it is also a carefully laid trap. Only a truly qualified successor can bear this magnificent power, otherwise he will be devoured by its backlash and will never be able to recover!"

Hearing this, Li Mingyang's heart shuddered, and a chill instantly ran up his spine. He stared at the front with his eyes wide open in disbelief, and various possibilities flashed through his mind. Obviously, he seemed to have fallen into a well-planned, flawless trap without knowing it. However, at this point, even though he knew that the road ahead was full of difficulties and dangers, and there might even be an abyss from which there was no return, he had no way to retreat. Because once he chose to retreat, all the efforts he had made before would be in vain, and he would become a laughing stock and a coward in the eyes of everyone. Thinking of this, Li Mingyang clenched his teeth tightly, his fists unconsciously clenched, and he secretly encouraged himself.

He took a deep breath, then raised his head, looked directly at the guardian with a firm gaze, and said firmly: "No matter what difficulties and severe tests await me next, I, Li Mingyang, will never be afraid! I will face the difficulties head-on, bravely confront and defeat them!" That resolute look seemed to tell everyone that he had the determination and courage to fight to the death.

Seeing this, the guardian nodded slightly, expressing his approval of Li Mingyang's words. Then, he gently waved the staff in his hand that was emitting mysterious light. In an instant, a dazzling light suddenly rose from the ground like lightning. The light quickly intertwined and entangled together, eventually forming an extremely complex and huge magic circle. This magic circle flashed with strange runes and light, revealing an ancient and powerful aura.

At this moment, Li Mingyang suddenly felt his body become light, as if he had lost weight. Before he could react to what happened, he was dragged into the mysterious magic circle by an invisible hand. After entering the magic circle, the scene in front of him began to change rapidly, which was dazzling. Sometimes it presented a vast desert with desolate and bleak scenery, and the flying yellow sand covered the sky; sometimes it turned into a vast ocean with turbulent waves and huge waves, making a deafening roar. And the appearance of each environment means that a new adventure full of unknown dangers and challenges is about to begin...

After a series of thrilling, life-threatening battles and hardships, Li Mingyang, with wounds all over his body but a determined look in his eyes, took heavy but steady steps, step by step, approaching the core area of ​​the mysterious and powerful magic circle. Every step he took seemed to exhaust all his strength, but the faith in his heart was as hot as a burning flame, supporting him to keep moving forward.

Finally, when he passed through the fog and obstacles, the view in front of him suddenly became clear - a huge platform shining with strange light appeared in front of him, and in the center of this platform, a huge mirror stood quietly. It was like a pool of clear lake water, with a smooth surface like silk, exuding a palpitating breath.

Li Mingyang took a deep breath and walked slowly to the mirror. However, what surprised him was that the face reflected in the mirror was not his familiar face, but a completely unfamiliar scene: a figure huddled in a dark corner, shivering, with a face full of fear, confusion and helplessness; then the picture changed to a proud and arrogant figure who trampled on the dignity of others to satisfy his vanity; then a greedy and selfish guy who pursued power and wealth by any means... These images kept changing like a revolving lantern, showing the dark side of his heart that was so deeply hidden that he himself had never noticed it.
