The morning light penetrated the mist of Lingxiao Mountain and quietly sprinkled on the bed where Meizi and Ye Chen slept in each other's arms. Last night, they temporarily put aside their fear of the future in their affection, like two butterflies craving for warmth, leaning on each other on the eve of the storm. When the first ray of light awakened their eyes, the determination to go through fire and water was like a prairie fire, burning in their hearts - today, they would step into the Sunset Molten Gold Valley and explore the life and death journey of the Golden Spirit Jade.

The sky gradually brightened, and the soft dawn light climbed up Lingxiao Mountain inch by inch, quietly penetrating into the caves of Meizi and Ye Chen, as if reminding them that the moment of the decisive battle was approaching.

Inside the cave, Meizi stood in front of a stone platform filled with various magic weapons. She looked focused and solemn, her slender fingers shuttled between the magic weapons, carefully selecting them. She repeatedly rubbed and checked the defensive robe, checking whether every rune was intact and whether the spiritual power flowed smoothly. After confirming that everything was correct, she folded it up and put it in her bag, muttering to herself: "With this robe, I think I can block some of the heat poison and fire python attacks in the valley." The ice attribute talismans on the side were the most important. She checked the spiritual power fluctuations one by one, and wrapped the three with the most spiritual power and the strongest cold power in silk scarves and placed them close to her body. This was the key to dealing with the fire python.

Ye Chen was carefully wiping the spirit sword in the corner of the cave. The cold light of the sword reflected his resolute face. He used his spiritual power as a guide to slowly apply the prepared rare spirit liquid to the sword. Every time he wiped it, the spirit sword hummed and trembled, like a beast awakening, eagerly absorbing power to increase its sharpness. "Old friend, this time when we enter the valley, you must help me cut through the thorns." He whispered, his eyes full of expectation and trust.

After taking a break from preparing the magic weapon, the two sat around the table, spread out the ancient book, and reviewed the terrain and the secrets of the mechanism in the valley. Meizi's fingertips slid along the simple map of the Sunset Molten Gold Valley in the ancient book, and her red lips opened slightly: "The quicksand vortex at the entrance should change according to the five elements of life and death. We must inject spiritual power into the soles of our feet in the order of mutual generation and progress, and proceed step by step." Ye Chen nodded and added: "For the flame maze, I have memorized the method of breaking the eight trigrams, but the variables at the center of the formation are unpredictable, so we have to be more careful." While talking, the two carefully sorted out the response strategy and memorized it in their hearts.

Then, Meizi stood up and walked into the inner room. After a moment, she came out in a tight outfit, with her long hair tied into a neat high ponytail, showing her heroic appearance. She carefully packed some healing pills and soul-restoring potions, put some of them into Ye Chen's bag, and carried some with herself to ensure that she could recover in time between battles.

Everything was ready. The two stood side by side at the entrance of the cave, looking back at this temporary residence. Their eyes met, and they were both nervous about the unknown dangers, but also determined to stick together and break through the impasse. Facing the rising sun, they strode towards the Sunset Molten Gold Valley, embarking on this life-threatening journey to find jade.

After leaving the cave, the two flew on their swords, the sound of the wind whistling in their ears, just like the war drum of fate, urging them to rush to the unknown. But as soon as they reached the mouth of the valley, the rolling heat wave came like a raging evil wave, burning their skin, and the air around them was like sticky honey, distorting their vision. Meizi frowned slightly, tightened the sword in her hand, and stepped into this "furnace" side by side with Ye Chen.

As soon as they entered the valley, the ground under their feet became restless. The hot gravel seemed to be alive, surging and jumping, forming a whirlpool of quicksand in an instant, like a greedy giant mouth, trying to drag them into the endless hot abyss. Ye Chen was quick-eyed and quick-handed, and he grabbed Meizi's slender waist. The spiritual power surged from the bottom of his feet, turning into a solid ice shield, embedding into the sand, and stabilizing his body. "Be careful!" He shouted in a low voice, and his eyes scanned the surroundings vigilantly, looking for the pattern of the vortex. Meizi understood, and used her spiritual power with her bare hands to cooperate with Ye Chen. Every time the vortex surged, they avoided it, but their clothes were already soaked with sweat and stuck tightly to their backs.

After struggling to cross the quicksand formation, a wall of fire suddenly stood before them, with the flames dancing wantonly, more than ten feet high, like the fangs of a demon in the valley, blocking their way. Ye Chen had a hint of hostility between his brows, and drew out his spirit sword. The cold light of the sword collided with the raging fire, causing a sizzling sound. He chopped with all his strength, but saw that the wall of fire was like a lively silk, which was cut open and quickly closed. Seeing this, Meizi closed her eyes and concentrated, recalling the formation in the ancient book, and shouted: "Three feet to the left is the weak point of the formation!" Upon hearing this, Ye Chen turned his sword finger and stabbed it with all his spiritual power. The wall of fire collapsed with a bang, turning into sparks all over the sky, burning the faces of the two people painfully.

After stepping into the wall of fire, they came to the heart of the valley, where the eerie chill was strangely blended with the blazing heat. A fire python as thick as a water tank, with scales all over its body flashing with fire, and triangular eyes full of cruelty, rushed straight towards them with its tongue spitting out. Its long tail swept across, bringing with it a whistling sound, just like a giant whip lashing at the two. Meiko's figure flashed, and she sacrificed the talisman. An ice-blue light suddenly appeared, freezing the fire python and instantly moving it. Ye Chen took advantage of this opportunity, leaped up, and went straight for the top of the fire python's head, but the fire python was not an easy task. It broke free from the talisman and rammed into Ye Chen's chest. Ye Chen felt as if he had been hit by a heavy hammer, and a mouthful of blood spurted out, and his body staggered. Meiko exclaimed, flew over to support Ye Chen, and spiritual power was continuously input into his body. Her eyes were full of anxiety and determination: "Hold on, we're together!"

In this dangerous cave, the two of them walked lightly but never stopped. Every time they encountered danger, they were closely connected with each other. Every time they faced life and death, they became the cornerstone of their faith. They knew that behind them were the expectations of the people and their deep love for each other. Only by moving forward and finding the Golden Spirit Jade could they recast the seal and restore peace to the world. Even if the road ahead was full of thorns, they must take a road of hope in this dark and desperate situation.

The flaming python failed to succeed in its first attack, and became more and more manic. It circled its body and launched another strong attack. It spewed out billowing flames from its mouth, like a raging torrent, rushing towards Meizi and Ye Chen. The two quickly stood back to back, and their spiritual power intertwined into a protective light curtain. Under the impact of the heat wave, the light curtain was shaky and made a "crackling" sound under the heavy load. Meizi clenched her teeth, sweat mixed with tears slid down, and the spells in her hands kept changing, trying to strengthen the spiritual defense. Ye Chen swallowed the blood in his throat, raised his spiritual power, and the spiritual sword in his hand trembled, ready to go.

When the blazing flames died down, the fire python, wrapped in flames all over its body, shot out like an arrow, aiming directly at Ye Chen's throat. At the critical moment, Ye Chen dodged to the side, and the fire python passed by him. Its sharp scales cut his arm, and blood instantly gushed out, staining his clothes red. Seeing this, Meizi felt distressed, and a flash of determination flashed in her eyes. She raised her bare hands and sacrificed the ice soul silver needles that she had treasured for a long time. Dozens of silver needles with cold light shot towards the seven orifices of the fire python like meteors chasing the moon. The fire python felt pain and slowed down its attack. Its huge body twisted and struggled on the spot.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Ye Chen endured the pain, circulated his spiritual power, tapped his feet lightly, and approached like a ghost. The spiritual sword in his hand shone brightly and stabbed fiercely into the belly of the flame python. The flame python roared and lashed its long tail wildly, but was restrained by Meizi's spiritual power rope. The two cooperated closely and fought hard. Finally, they found the flaw in the flame python's guard and found the faint light emitted by the golden spirit jade in the hidden corner of the cave.

But there was still a layer of flame barrier around the light, which was extremely hot. Meizi and Ye Chen looked at each other, and saw fatigue and determination in each other's eyes. They held hands, merged their spiritual power, and turned into a majestic force, slowly pushing towards the barrier. Every time they pushed forward, it seemed to exhaust all their strength. They were ragged and scarred, and their skin was cracked under the scorching heat, but they never gave up. Until a crisp sound, the barrier was broken, and the golden spirit jade floated in the air, emitting brilliant golden light, illuminating the entire cave, and also reflecting their bloody but gratified faces. At this moment, they knew that this was only the first step of a difficult journey. The subsequent exploration of the spirit jade would still be difficult and dangerous, but holding the golden spirit jade in their hands meant holding the spark of hope, which was enough to support them to continue to move forward fearlessly.
