Approximately one or two months later, the lives of Shangguan Yaochi and Xuan Hua Emperor Lord in the mortal realm gradually returned to normal. They patrolled the area from time to time to ensure that there was no appearance of dark energy.
Just as they were about to return to the immortal realm to report, Xuan Hua Emperor Lord's expression suddenly became serious.
His brow furrowed, as if sensing a disturbance in the seal. He tightly gripped the immortal sword in his hand, a hint of doubt and surprise flashing in his eyes: "It's impossible, my seal is so perfect, it shouldn't be able to be broken, unless..."
The voice of the Xuan Hua Emperor Lord abruptly stopped, as if recalling something important.
He stared into the distance intently, a glimmer of realization flashing in his eyes: "We need to hurry to the Ling Mountain where we first arrived. I suspect that this rift has long released a terrible power and intends to seize the power of the spiritual vein to strengthen itself."
Upon hearing his words, Shangguan Yaochi immediately became alert. She thought that if there really was some power trying to seize the spiritual vein, the consequences would be unimaginable. She nodded and quickly flew towards the direction of the Spirit Vein Guarding Palace with Xuan Hua Emperor Lord.
Outside of the Immortal sect, the sky of the mortal realm is being torn apart by flashes of lightning, accompanied by rolling thunder.
Xuan Hua Emperor Lord and Shangguan Yaochi appeared at the top of a high mountain, overlooking the world below.
At this moment, the world below is in a state of chaos. The sky is filled with continuous thunder and lightning, seemingly foretelling an impending catastrophe.
Xuan Hua Emperor Lord flashed a hint of coldness in his eyes, knowing that he had to find the root of all this in order to resolve the disaster. Otherwise, the mortal world would once again fall into the destruction caused by demons and natural disasters.
He and Shangguan Yaochi turned into a stream of light and flew straight ahead.
Their destination is a mysterious place called Spirit Mountain, which is also the place where they first descended to the mortal world. It is said that this is also a passage to the immortal realm.
On the peak of Ling Mountain, a majestic palace stands tall. This is the main palace of Ling Mountain and the core of this calamity.
Xuan Hua Emperor Lord and Shangguan Yaochi arrived in front of the main palace, and the scene before them made them slightly puzzled. They saw a woman in white standing in front of the main palace, her eyes filled with confusion and unease.
"Who are you?" The woman looked at them, her voice tinged with a hint of caution.
Xuan Hua Emperor Lord smiled slightly and said softly, "I am Xuan Hua Emperor Lord, and this is my disciple Shangguan Yaochi. We are here to resolve this disaster."
When the woman heard this, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes. She hesitated for a moment, then nodded, "I am Lanxin, the guardian of this place. A force has taken over the main hall, intending to seize the spiritual vein pearl. Even I cannot approach it now."
Upon hearing her words, Xuan Hua Emperor Lord knew that the root of this calamity was probably not simple. He looked at Lanxin with a hint of determination in his eyes, "Miss Lanxin, we are willing to help you."
Lanxin looked at him, a hint of gratitude flashing in her eyes. She nodded and said, "Then I'll leave it to you."
So, Xuan Hua Emperor Lord, Shangguan Yaochi, and Lanxin entered the Main Hall of Ling Mountain together.
The scene inside the main palace surprised them even more. The interior of the palace was in chaos, with some areas even showing cracks, as if it could collapse at any moment.
The three of them carefully walked through the palace, with demons occasionally darting out from the cracks, attempting to attack them. However, in the face of the powerful cultivation of Xuan Hua Emperor Lord, these demons were no match at all.
They went deep into the palace and finally arrived in front of a huge hall. In the center of this hall, there was a huge magic array.
Within the magic array, a man dressed in a black robe was standing there, holding a black longsword in his hand, with the tip of the sword pointing towards a crystal ball floating in the air.
In that crystal ball, it seems to seal a powerful force. And the man is constantly attacking the crystal ball with a long sword, trying to release the power within.
Xuan Hua Emperor Lord Seeing this scene, a cold light flashes in his eyes. This man is the root of this disaster.
"Stop!" Xuan Hua Emperor Lord shouted coldly, and with a swift movement, he appeared in front of the man.
The man, upon hearing his shout, suddenly looked up. His eyes were filled with madness and determination, as if nothing else mattered anymore.
"Who dares to obstruct my great cause!" The man sneered, the long sword in his hand instantly drawing a black light, heading straight for the Xuan Hua Emperor Lord.
The Xuan Hua Emperor Lord remained unfazed, the jade bi in his hand turning into a green light, meeting the black sword energy. The two forces collided in mid-air, erupting into a tremendous energy wave. The entire hall trembled violently under the impact of this energy, as if it could collapse at any moment.
Xuan Hua Emperor Lord and The man in black robe swiftly crossed paths in the hall, each encounter accompanied by thunderous rumbling.
Shangguan Yaochi and Lanxin stood to the side, both wearing worried expressions on their faces.
The man in the black robe's attacks are extremely fierce, and each sword strike seems to cut through everything. However, Xuan Hua Emperor Lord's footwork is more exquisite, and his evasions and counterattacks are just right, making it impossible for the man in the black robe to succeed.
In each confrontation, Xuan Hua Emperor Lord gradually feels that the man in the black robe's strength seems to be weakening. And the power within the crystal ball also seems to be gradually stabilizing.
Finally, after a fierce confrontation, the jade bi of Xuan Hua Emperor Lord turned into a sword light, directly piercing through the chest of the man in black robes. The man in black robes's body trembled violently in the air, then fell like a kite with a broken string.
Xuan Hua Emperor Lord stared at him intently, making sure he could no longer rise.
Then, he quickly flew to the crystal ball, clasped his hands together, and began chanting a spell. His voice was deep and resonant, with each word seemingly containing boundless power.
As he chanted, layers of radiance began to appear on the crystal ball. The radiance seemed to have a life of its own, constantly swirling, and eventually formed a huge light shield, enveloping the entire crystal ball within it.
Xuan Hua Emperor Lord's chanting gradually came to a stop, and he slowly opened his eyes. He saw that the crystal ball was completely enveloped in a light shield, and the power inside had also stabilized completely.
He let out a long breath, a hint of fatigue showing on his face. Then, he turned around and looked at Shangguan Yaochi and Lanxin.
"The disaster has finally been resolved," his voice was hoarse, but his eyes were filled with relief.
Just when everyone thought everything had finally calmed down, a cold laughter suddenly echoed in the hall. The man in black robes appeared behind the Xuan Hua Emperor Lord at this moment, his body pierced by sword light, blood flowing incessantly, but the madness and obsession in his eyes grew even stronger.
"You underestimated me, Xuan Hua Emperor Lord." The man in black coughed, a sly smile playing at the corner of his mouth. Pointing to his own chest with one hand, he said, "Haha... My target has always been you!"
Before the words had even finished, the man in black desperately embraced Xuan Hua Emperor Lord, exerting his last bit of strength to transfer all the dark energy within him into Xuan Hua Emperor Lord's body.
The black energy spread rapidly within the body of Xuan Hua Emperor Lord like a black snake. Xuan Hua Emperor Lord was unable to react in time, and he could feel his celestial energy being gradually consumed by the black energy. His body began to tremble violently, and waves of tearing pain emanated from within.
Xuan Hua Emperor Lord placed both hands on his head, roaring in pain, as if he had fallen into endless darkness.
Shangguan Yaochi was horrified to see this scene. She couldn't help but run forward, wanting to help her Master.
However, Xuan Hua Emperor Lord suddenly raised his head in pain, with a determined gleam in his eyes.
"Don't come near!" His voice was hoarse and resolute, as if he was exerting all his strength to shout out these words.
Shangguan Yaochi's footsteps instantly froze in place, her heart filled with helplessness and anxiety.
At this moment, Xuan Hua Emperor Lord is enduring immense pain, but she is unable to do anything.
In the hall, the man in the black robe gradually became transparent, and finally seemed to turn into a gust of wind, disappearing into the air. His purpose had been achieved, as he had infused all of the dark energy into the body of the Xuan Hua Emperor Lord.
The Xuan Hua Emperor Lord's body continued to tremble violently, as if the dark energy was about to engulf him entirely. However, in the midst of this extreme pain, he took a deep breath and began to gather the immortal energy within his body, attempting to resist the erosion of the dark energy.
A layer of golden light began to appear around the body, and Xuan Hua Emperor Lord was using the immortal energy within him to engage in a fierce battle against the dark energy.
In the hall, a silent battle was unfolding. The golden light and dark energy intertwined, with the golden light gaining the upper hand at times, and the dark energy suppressing it at others. Beads of sweat seeped from Xuan Hua Emperor Lord's face, and his eyes were filled with determination and resilience.
Shangguan Yaochi and Lanxin stood aside, their hearts in their throats.
Time seemed to slow down at this moment. The golden light and dark energy in the hall continued to fiercely clash.
However, as time passed, the dark energy seemed to be gradually suppressed, and the golden light began to gain the upper hand.
