Chapter 1067
Don't Be Reckless
Bai Yunzi nodded: "I suggest that the four of us strengthen our cultivation and improve our strength. At the same time, we should also keep a close eye on the dynamics of the cultivation world to prevent the black-robed man from launching another attack."
“Brother Baiyun is right,” Yang Ling echoed. “Although the four of us each have our own strengths, only by constantly improving can we better protect the peace of the cultivation world.”
Dan Yan also expressed his opinion: "We can also learn from each other and make progress together by exchanging cultivation experiences."
After discussing it, the four decided to split up temporarily and return to their respective sects to cultivate in seclusion and improve their cultivation. They agreed to meet again at a future time to discuss how to deal with the black-robed man's next move.
As they parted, Master Qingyang sighed, "Although this battle was arduous, it brought the four of us closer together. I believe that in the future, we will be able to work hand in hand and contribute more to the peace of the cultivation world."
Bai Yunzi, Yang Ling, and Dan Yan all expressed their agreement, holding each other's hands tightly, their eyes shining with determination.
Several months later, the four reunited as promised. Their strength had all improved significantly, and their demeanor had become more composed and reserved.
"Everyone, it seems your cultivation has yielded remarkable results during this period," Master Qingyang said with a smile.
Bai Yunzi nodded: "That's right. I feel that my magic power has become more refined, and I have more control over my spells."
“Me too,” Yang Ling replied. “My swordsmanship is even sharper, and my sword speed is also faster.”
Dan Yan smiled and said, "My skills in talismans have also improved, and I can now create more types of talismans to deal with various situations."
Master Qingyang was very pleased to hear this: "Very good, all four of us have made progress, which is crucial for future battles."
"However, we cannot let our guard down," Bai Yunzi cautioned. "Although we have temporarily repelled the black-robed men, they will not give up easily. We must remain vigilant and be prepared to deal with any unforeseen circumstances."
Yang Ling agreed: "Brother Baiyun is right. We need to strengthen patrols and reconnaissance, and take immediate action once we discover any trace of the man in black."
"Furthermore," Dan Yan added, "we can also cooperate with other sects to jointly resist the invasion of the black-robed men. After all, peace in the cultivation world requires the joint efforts of everyone."
Master Qingyang nodded after listening: "What everyone said makes sense. We must continue to cultivate diligently and improve our strength. At the same time, we must also pay close attention to the dynamics of the cultivation world and strengthen cooperation and exchanges with other sects. Only in this way can we better meet the challenges of the future."
The four finished their discussion and were about to disperse when suddenly, a dazzling golden light flashed across the horizon, as if some treasure was about to be born. Master Qingyang's gaze sharpened as he looked in the direction from which the golden light came: "Everyone, look at that golden light! Could it be that a rare treasure is about to descend?"...
Bai Yunzi looked up, a hint of surprise in his eyes: "There is a faint aura of immortality surrounding this golden light, it is definitely not an ordinary thing. Why don't we go and investigate, we might be able to find something."
Yang Ling rubbed his hands together, eager to try: "Great idea! Maybe this treasure can help us deal with those black-robed men."
Dan Yan frowned slightly, appearing cautious: "But we must also proceed with care. Such an unusual phenomenon will surely attract many cultivators, including some experts." Qingyang Zhenren nodded: "Dan Yan is right. We must be careful, but we also cannot miss this opportunity. Let's go and see for ourselves."
The four transformed into four streaks of light and swiftly flew towards the direction of the golden light. Before long, they arrived at a vast mountain range. The golden light was emanating from an ancient cave deep within the mountains.
"It seems there are indeed treasures hidden in this cave," said Master Qingyang, his eyes gleaming.
Bai Yunzi carefully examined the area and pointed to the entrance of the cave: "There is a protective array outside this cave, so we need to be careful."
Yang Ling scoffed, "A mere formation? It can't possibly stump us! Watch this!" With that, he raised his longsword and was about to slash at the formation.
"Wait!" Dan Yan hurriedly stopped him. "This formation is no ordinary thing; we cannot act rashly. Let's observe it carefully first before making any plans."
Master Qingyang nodded in agreement: "Dan Yan is right. This formation looks simple, but it actually contains hidden mysteries. We need to plan this carefully."
The four of them carefully examined the entrance to the cave for a long time before finally finding a flaw in the formation. Led by Master Qingyang, they cautiously passed through the formation and entered the cave.
The cave was dimly lit, yet it couldn't conceal its ancient and mysterious aura. The four proceeded cautiously, afraid of triggering any traps or mechanisms. Before long, they arrived at a stone chamber. In the center of the chamber stood a stone platform, upon which rested a glittering golden box.
"It seems this is where the extraordinary treasure is located," said Master Qingyang.
Bai Yunzi stepped forward and carefully examined the golden box: "This box is protected by a restriction. If we open it rashly, we might trigger a trap."
Yang Ling said impatiently, "Now that we've found the treasure, let's get started! I don't believe this little restriction can stop us." As he spoke, he reached out to touch the golden box.
"Stop!" Dan Yan suddenly shouted. "This restriction is no small matter. Once triggered, the consequences will be unimaginable. Let's find a way to break it first." After saying that, he took out a talisman and affixed it to the box, beginning to seriously study the restriction. The other three also stepped forward to help. After some effort, the four of them finally succeeded in breaking the restriction and opened the box. Inside the box lay a crystal-clear jade pendant, carved with dragon and phoenix patterns, emitting a faint aura of immortality; it was clearly no ordinary object.
"This is... the legendary Dragon and Phoenix Jade Pendant?" Master Qingyang exclaimed in surprise. "This jade pendant is one of the ancient divine artifacts, said to possess mysterious power." The four exchanged smiles, secretly rejoicing at having obtained this treasure. They carefully put the jade pendant away and prepared to leave the cave. But just then, a commotion suddenly arose outside the cave. Immediately afterward, a dark shadow flashed by, and a man in black robes appeared in the stone chamber!
"It seems someone has discovered the strange phenomenon here. We need to leave quickly," Bai Yunzi said, frowning.
Yang Ling snorted: "Perfect timing! Let them see what we're made of!"
"Don't be reckless," Master Qingyang warned. "Although we've obtained the treasure, it's not wise to fight now. Let's leave here first to avoid trouble." (End of Chapter)
