Soul travels through the world of immortality

Li Mingyang, a young and talented scholar, has always been immersed in the in-depth and meticulous study of ancient characters. At this moment, facing the mysterious code in front of him, he did not hesitate to use his profound knowledge and attainments accumulated over the years, and began to concentrate on trying to decipher the hidden mysteries.

At the same time, the majestic and imposing lion king also demonstrated his amazingly powerful logical thinking ability. He scanned the complex and ever-changing structure of the entire maze with sharp eyes, and his mind was constantly working rapidly, sorting out and integrating various clues and details one by one, and gradually uncovering the secrets hidden in this maze through rigorous reasoning and analysis.

The graceful and beautiful flower fairy made full use of her unique and keen perception of nature and her extensive knowledge of nature. She moved lightly through every corner of the maze, carefully observing every plant and tree in the surrounding environment, not missing any possible subtle signs or hidden marks.

After a long and arduous effort, the three of them finally made a major breakthrough - they successfully discovered a crucial key rule! It turned out that each of the seemingly obscure symbols in the code was actually closely related to a specific path in the maze. What's even more amazing is that when all these paths are connected in series, they all point to the same target location without exception - the mysterious place located in the center of the entire maze.

"It seems that after unremitting efforts and many attempts, we have finally found the right way!" Li Mingyang shouted excitedly, his bright eyes flashing with confidence and joy. "As long as we unswervingly follow these carefully planned paths, we will be able to successfully reach the mysterious place where the 'Nine Nether Stone' is located."

After saying that, Li Mingyang couldn't help but take a deep breath, as if he had already seen the unknown area waiting for them to explore ahead and the precious treasure hidden in it - the Nine Nether Stone.

At this moment, a jaw-dropping scene happened without warning. The thick fog that had been shrouding the surroundings like a veil and like a dream began to slowly but firmly dissipate as if driven by some mysterious force. The layers of thick fog were like being gently pushed aside by a pair of invisible hands, revealing the real scene hidden behind them bit by bit.

As the fog dissipated, the strange illusions that had been bothering and dazzling everyone also disappeared at a speed visible to the naked eye, just like fragile clouds swept by a strong wind. The confusion and fear they once brought disappeared in an instant, leaving only clarity and tranquility.

At the same time, the group of men in black who had surrounded them aggressively and fiercely before also seemed to have received a silent order and retreated at the same time. Their uniform movements were like a well-trained army, and they quickly and orderly made way for a wide path.

At the end of this newly opened passage, the mysterious figure who had been hiding in the endless darkness finally reappeared. He was the leader of the group of men in black, a core member of the "Shadow Blade" organization that made the world tremble with fear. He walked slowly and steadily towards the crowd. Every step seemed to contain endless majesty and oppression, which made people feel awe.

When he approached, he could see a hint of admiration on the face that was mostly covered by a black mask. Although this admiration was fleeting, it was still caught by the sharp-eyed people, causing everyone present to feel an indescribable confusion and curiosity.

"Yes, you have successfully passed this difficult trial, which is enough to prove that you are indeed wise and courageous enough and are trustworthy. In this case, now I can tell you more secrets about the 'Nine Nether Stone'..." Having said this, the leader of the "Shadow Blade" paused slightly, as if he was observing everyone's reactions, and then continued.

With a solemn look on his face, he led Li Mingyang and his group carefully through the intricate, spider-web-like maze passages. Along the way, they encountered all kinds of strange traps and mysterious magic illusions, but with their firm will and excellent teamwork, they finally successfully reached the core area of ​​this huge maze.

There, an ancient and solemn altar stood. The altar was built of huge bluestones, and the traces of time left mottled marks on its surface, as if telling the vicissitudes and glory of the past. And in the center of the altar, a stone emitting a faint light lay quietly - it was the "Nine Hell Stone" that everyone had been looking for!

This "Nine Nether Stone" is as black as ink, shining like the brightest star in the night sky. A faint but persistent light permeates from the inside of the stone, shrouding the entire altar in a mysterious atmosphere. Upon closer inspection, you can find that the altar is densely carved with various complex and obscure rune patterns. They are like agile snakes, winding and twisting, intertwining and entwining with each other, as if trying their best to protect this invaluable treasure.

At this time, the leader slowly spoke: "Everyone, what you see before your eyes is the legendary 'Nine Hell Stone'. This treasure is incomparable to ordinary things. It contains a powerful force that can connect different worlds. However, this power is also extremely dangerous. If it falls into the hands of people with bad intentions, it will inevitably lead to unimaginable catastrophic consequences. Therefore, only those who are just and kind-hearted are qualified to truly control and use its power."

Hearing this, Li Mingyang couldn't help but widen his eyes and stare closely at the magical "Nine Nether Stone". An indescribable wonderful feeling instantly surged into his heart, as if countless voices were whispering in the depths of his mind. He knew very well that his adventure was far from over, and the many secrets hidden behind the "Nine Nether Stone" might be the key to uncovering the truth behind his parents' bizarre death...

"Thank you for your trust." Li Mingyang said, "We will use this power carefully and continue to pursue the truth."

As the Nine Nether Stone fell into Li Mingyang's hands, he felt a warm force surge into his body, as if a special connection had been established with him. At this moment, he became more determined to go on, no matter what the road ahead was, until all the mysteries were solved.

When Li Mingyang dragged his tired body back to his residence, he did not rest immediately, but methodically arranged for everyone who had returned with him. After everything was arranged, he walked lightly into the quiet secret room.

After entering the secret room, Li Mingyang took a deep breath and carefully took out the mysterious "Nine Nether Stone" from his arms. Just as he held the stone, a strange and unfamiliar force rushed into his body like a surging tide at lightning speed.

At first, Li Mingyang was looking forward to this power bringing him unprecedented surprises and breakthroughs, but he soon realized that something was wrong. Because this power was not as pure and flawless as he had imagined before, on the contrary, it was mixed with a faint and strange fluctuation. This strange feeling made his heart tighten, and he immediately became alert.

Although he was hesitant, his strong curiosity still drove Li Mingyang to use his soul power to explore the mystery of this power. However, just when his soul power was about to touch the core of the power, suddenly, a powerful force like a tidal wave broke out without any warning!

This sudden huge force made Li Mingyang's originally stable soul suddenly become shaky, like a candle in the wind that could go out at any time.

At the same time, a creepy and cold laugh suddenly exploded in the depths of his mind: "Hahahaha... You extremely stupid human, are you really so naive to think that you can control the entire world just by holding this small piece of Nine Nether Stone of mine? It's simply a foolish dream!"

The sound was like the roar of an evil spirit from the Nine Nether Hell. It was icy cold and pierced deep into Li Mingyang's bones, causing him to shiver involuntarily. The chill instantly spread from his spine to every corner of his body.

Li Mingyang's heart tightened, and he dared not slack off. He quickly gathered his mind and concentrated all his energy to find out where the strange sound came from. At this moment, the mysterious and powerful force suddenly became manic and restless, like an out-of-control beast, rushing towards him with bared fangs and claws, trying to forcibly control his consciousness.

Faced with such a crisis, Li Mingyang clenched his teeth tightly, veins popped on his forehead, and he used all his strength to resist the erosion of this force. He widened his eyes and shouted angrily: "Who the hell are you? How dare you stir up trouble here!"

The voice first uttered a creepy sneer, and then slowly said: "Listen carefully, ignorant child! I am a powerful creature from the ancient times. I was seriously injured in a world-shaking war, and was eventually sealed in this 'Nine Nether Stone'. It has been more than a thousand years. Humph, the so-called power that you mortals are desperately pursuing is nothing more than a bait deliberately laid by this spirit. The purpose is to attract those greedy people to come, so that I can absorb their soul power to help me break the seal as soon as possible and regain my freedom! Hahahaha..."

Hearing this, Li Mingyang felt his heart tremble suddenly, as if a thunder exploded in his mind. He widened his eyes and looked at the "Nine Nether Stone" in his hand that was emitting a strange light in disbelief. A strong sense of uneasiness and alertness suddenly surged in his heart.

He quickly pulled his thoughts back to reality, and his brain started working rapidly. All signs showed that the seemingly extremely precious "Nine Nether Stone" that countless people dreamed of was not the legendary treasure at all, but a carefully woven huge conspiracy! And those mysterious men in black, and the so-called "Shadow Blade" member who had been hiding in the dark, were all chess pieces laid by the ancient creatures, with the purpose of luring them step by step into this deadly trap.

Thinking of this, Li Mingyang couldn't help but feel a chill rising from his spine, but soon, he suppressed his inner fear and anger, stared at the enemy in front of him with a cold face, and said coldly: "So that's how it is, you despicable and shameless people have been deliberately using us! But it's a pity that you underestimate me, Li Mingyang. My soul power can't be swallowed up by you so easily!" After that, a powerful aura emanated from his body, as hot and dazzling as a burning flame, making people dare not look directly at him.

After saying that, Li Mingyang closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and suddenly opened his eyes. His hands quickly formed a complex and mysterious hand seal. In an instant, it seemed as if a torrent was awakened in his body, and a warm and powerful energy emerged from the depths of his body like a surging tide.

This energy presents a soft golden light, which forms a sharp contrast with the cold power emanating from the Nine Nether Stone. It is like a bright lamp in the darkness, or the warm sun in the cold winter, bringing endless hope and courage to people.

At this moment, Li Mingyang's face was solemn, and he was concentrating on controlling the powerful energy, trying to reverse the current unfavorable situation. Beads of sweat kept rolling down his forehead, but his eyes remained firm, revealing his incomparable determination.

The ancient creature obviously had not expected that this ordinary-looking human in front of it could actually burst out with such amazing strength. Its voice, which was originally full of majesty and disdain, could not help but reveal a hint of surprise that was difficult to conceal: "How... How is it possible? Your soul power is so strong, far beyond my imagination!"
