Siheyuan: The Temptation of the Mountains

Lin Ze followed the old man through the battlefield in this alien dimension, and the shouts and screams around him were deafening. He soon observed that the war here was not a simple racial or territorial dispute, but there seemed to be a dark force behind it.

Lin Ze began to search for the source of this dark power. During a battle, he accidentally discovered a hidden underground entrance. Lin Ze entered it regardless of the danger. There was a pungent and foul smell inside. The further he went in, the stronger the dark breath became.

Finally, at the end of the deep and dark passage, Lin Ze saw an extremely huge black crystal ball. It stood there quietly like a sleeping beast, but its surface was entangled with dense, spider-like dark magic. These dark magics seemed to have life, and were constantly gushing out from the inside of the crystal ball, releasing heart-pounding hatred and murderous emotions.

Lin Ze instantly realized that the black crystal ball in front of him was the source of all evil! Without any hesitation, he immediately mobilized all the spiritual power hidden in his body. He quickly formed seals with his hands and chanted something. An ancient and mysterious purification spell began to echo in the air.

In an instant, dazzling light surged out of his body like a flood, rushing straight towards the crystal ball emitting a dark aura. When the light and the dark power collided, the entire space trembled and emitted a series of dull roars.

At this time, Lin Ze clenched his teeth, beads of sweat kept rolling down his forehead, but his eyes remained firm. This fierce confrontation was undoubtedly an extremely difficult test for him, and every minute and every second required tremendous effort and energy.

Time passed minute by minute, and with Lin Ze's unremitting efforts, the originally dazzling black crystal ball gradually lost its original luster, and the dark aura lingering around it began to gradually dissipate.

At the same time, a strange change suddenly occurred on the battlefield where fierce fighting was going on outside. The soldiers who were blinded by hatred and blood-thirsty suddenly felt that the strong killing intent in their hearts was like being blown away by a breeze, and gradually faded away. Then, both sides involuntarily stopped waving their weapons, and the originally noisy shouts of killing also stopped abruptly.

The long and brutal war came to an end unnoticed, and the earth regained its tranquility. Lin Ze dragged his exhausted body and stumbled out of the dark and damp underground passage. When the first ray of sunlight in the morning fell on him, he knew that this dangerous alien plane had finally ushered in the long-awaited dawn of peace.

And he, once again, relied on his extraordinary courage and tenacious perseverance to become a hero who saved the entire world. People cheered and gave endless praise and gratitude to this great savior. But only Lin Ze himself knew that the hardships he had experienced along the way were far beyond the imagination of others...

Lin Ze thought that the matter was over, but a few days later, he found that his spiritual power had become extremely unstable. It turned out that although the black crystal ball was purified, a trace of the remaining dark power quietly infiltrated his spiritual veins. Lin Ze tried to suppress this dark power, but it was like a weed, the more it was suppressed, the more it grew.

Just when Lin Ze felt desperate, the old man appeared again. He took out a crystal clear pill and said it could clear the dark power in his body, but the price was that he would temporarily lose all his spiritual power.

Lin Ze looked at the mysterious pill in his hand without any hesitation. He raised his head and swallowed the pill in one gulp. In an instant, a powerful force surged in his body.

As time went by, the dark power that originally enveloped his body slowly receded like a tide until it completely disappeared. At the same time, his spiritual power seemed to be drawn away and disappeared without a trace in an instant.

After losing his spiritual power, Lin Ze bid farewell to his once thrilling and exciting life as a practitioner and began to live an ordinary life. He worked from sunrise to sunset every day, worked hard in the fields, and engaged in various simple yet arduous labors.

In such ordinary days, Lin Ze unexpectedly felt an unprecedented inner peace. He enjoyed this simple life, felt the gifts of nature and the sincere friendship between neighbors.

However, on a quiet night, when everyone was immersed in sweet dreams, a strange black light suddenly flashed across the sky. This black light was like a lightning that broke through the sky, tearing through the dark night sky at an astonishing speed, and instantly bursting out a heart-pounding energy fluctuation. Then, a dark breath that once made Lin Ze unforgettable and deeply frightened spread again like a surging tide, and in the blink of an eye, it tightly enveloped the entire village.

Lin Ze, who was sleeping soundly, was suddenly awakened by this sudden change. With his extraordinary keen perception, he instantly noticed the drastic changes in the surrounding environment. Without any hesitation, he quickly got out of bed, put on his coat quickly, then hurriedly opened the door and walked out of the house in big strides.

Standing in the center of the courtyard, Lin Ze looked up at the sky that was completely swallowed by darkness, and he had a clear judgment in his mind: an unprecedented huge challenge was like a ferocious beast, approaching them step by step with its fangs and claws bared. Although time had passed, and he had lost his former powerful spiritual power, his eyes still flashed with an unwavering light.

After years of trials and tribulations, Lin Ze has already accumulated a vast amount of life wisdom and invaluable practical experience. These valuable assets have undoubtedly become his most solid and reliable backing and sharpest and most deadly weapon to resist this crisis and protect this peaceful home that he has built with untold hardships!

Lin Ze took a deep breath and began to calmly direct the villagers to take refuge in the village cellar. After making all the arrangements, he walked alone to the edge of the village, the direction of the source of the dark aura. As he walked, he saw a dark shadow looming in front of him. When he got closer, he saw a person wrapped in a black robe.

"I didn't expect you were still alive. But what can you do without your spiritual power?" the man in black robe said grimly.
