Chapter 424 The Secret Meeting at Lingxiao and the Revelation of the Mysterious Ancient Book

Inside the Lingxiao Pavilion, the atmosphere was heavy and oppressive. While Zhang Peng was in seclusion recovering his spiritual power, Murong Yu, Liu Ruoli, Xuan Chenzi, and Chisongzi sat around the council hall, discussing strategies to deal with the mysterious organization.

“Judging from Zhang Peng’s description, the mysterious organization is colluding with various powerful demonic beasts, and its power is becoming increasingly rampant.” Xuan Chenzi frowned, gently waving the whisk in his hand, but it could not dispel the worry in his heart. “We must find the third key as soon as possible, otherwise once the Shadow Demon God is freed, the cultivation world will face annihilation.”

Murong Yu clenched his fists, his knuckles turning white, his eyes flashing with furious flames: "These evil people have repeatedly obstructed us. Once Zhang Peng emerges from seclusion, we will definitely give them a good beating!"

Liu Ruoli gently stroked her jade flute and nodded slightly: "Right now, the most urgent task, besides strengthening our defenses, is to devise a long-term plan to find clues about the key. I found some ancient books in the library that record mysterious places from ancient times; perhaps we can find a breakthrough from them."

Chisongzi stroked his beard, a glimmer of hope flashing in his eyes: "Miss Liu is absolutely right. Those ancient books may hold secrets unknown to others. We might as well split into two groups: one to continue to strengthen the defenses of Lingxiao Pavilion, and the other to delve into the ancient books and search for clues to the third key."

After discussion, Murong Yu volunteered to lead the elite disciples of Lingxiao Pavilion in reinforcing the defensive formation. They set up layers of restrictions around Lingxiao Pavilion, using the laws of chaos as their core and incorporating the power of the five elements to construct an impregnable defensive fortress. Murong Yu personally oversaw the formation's core, directing his disciples to infuse spiritual energy to ensure that every defensive node was absolutely stable.

Meanwhile, Liu Ruoli, Xuan Chenzi, and Chi Songzi plunged into the Lingxiao Pavilion's library. Inside, ancient books were piled up like mountains, exuding an aura of antiquity. The three searched diligently among the vast sea of ​​texts, turning each page meticulously, leaving no possible clue unchecked.

"Elder Xuan Chenzi, look at this ancient book!" Liu Ruoli suddenly exclaimed, holding a yellowed ancient book in her hands, which she carefully unfolded. The text on the book was obscure and difficult to understand, like an ancient runic language.

Xuan Chenzi and Chi Songzi quickly stepped forward to examine it closely. "This seems to be a long-lost spiritual script, recording a mysterious ruin, said to contain powerful energy." Xuan Chenzi's expression was excited, his eyes gleaming with excitement.

Chisongzi nodded slightly, his fingers gently tracing the runes on the ancient book: "Judging from the description, this ruin may be intricately connected to the key we are looking for. However, the spiritual script is too ancient, and deciphering it will not be easy."

Liu Ruoli fell into deep thought. She suddenly remembered the power of the Chaos Law that Zhang Peng had used when studying the jade runes. "Perhaps we can use the power of the Chaos Law to decipher these spiritual runes," she suggested.

Xuan Chenzi and Chi Songzi exchanged a glance, their eyes full of agreement. The three of them immediately set to work. Xuan Chenzi and Chi Songzi poured spiritual power into the ancient book from either side, while Liu Ruoli stood in the center, circulating her Nascent Soul stage spiritual power and slowly integrating the power of the Chaos Laws into the ancient book.

As the power of the laws of chaos was infused, the runes on the ancient book flickered and gradually became clearer. The three of them concentrated intently, deciphering the meaning of each rune. After a long and arduous effort, they finally uncovered the secrets of the ancient book.

It turns out that this ancient text records a mysterious ruin called the "Spiritual Illusion Abyss," located in the far west of the cultivation world. Legend has it that this is where ancient powerful beings sealed away evil forces, and it is also the possible location of the third key. However, the Spiritual Illusion Abyss is filled with various dangers and restrictions, and no cultivator who has entered it has ever survived.

“This Spirit Abyss is so dangerous. If we go there rashly, the odds are against us.” Chi Songzi frowned, his expression worried.

Xuan Chenzi, however, remained resolute: "To save the cultivation world, we must venture into even the most dangerous places. Moreover, we have Zhang Peng; his power of the Chaos Laws might be able to help us resolve this crisis."

Just then, Zhang Peng appeared at the entrance of the library. After his secluded cultivation, his spiritual power had fully recovered, and his aura was even more stable and powerful. "I heard your discussion. The Spirit Illusion Abyss, we must go." Zhang Peng's voice was firm and powerful, full of determination.

Murong Yu also rushed over. Upon hearing the news, he said without hesitation, "I'll go too. More people mean more strength."

Liu Ruoli nodded slightly: "With Zhang Peng and Murong Yu here, our chances of success are much greater."

After discussion, the group decided that Zhang Peng, Murong Yu, and Liu Ruoli would lead a team of elite disciples to the Spirit Illusion Abyss to find the third key, while Xuan Chenzi and Chi Songzi would stay at Lingxiao Pavilion to continue strengthening the defenses in case the mysterious organization took advantage of any openings.

Before their departure, Xuan Chenzi and Chi Songzi repeatedly instructed them: "Be extremely careful on your journey to the Spirit Illusion Abyss. No matter what dangers you encounter, safety must be your top priority. Once you find the key, return to Lingxiao Pavilion immediately."

Zhang Peng and the others nodded solemnly and embarked on their journey to the Spirit Illusion Abyss. They knew full well that this would be an incredibly difficult adventure, but they were determined to save the cultivation world.

Along the way, the group traveled day and night, traversing dense forests, crossing raging rivers, and traversing treacherous mountains. Finally, they arrived at the far west of the cultivation world, at the entrance to the Spirit Illusion Abyss.

A layer of black mist shrouded the entrance to the Spirit Abyss, shimmering with eerie light, and an overwhelming sense of oppression emanated from it. Zhang Peng activated his mid-stage Nascent Soul spiritual sense, attempting to probe the situation within the abyss. However, the moment his spiritual sense approached, it was repelled by a powerful force.

"The power in this abyss is extremely strange; we must proceed with caution," Zhang Peng said solemnly. He took the lead and stepped into the black mist, with the others following closely behind.

Upon entering the abyss, the sight before them astonished everyone. The entire abyss resembled a vast labyrinth, its walls covered in mysterious runes that emitted a chilling light. The ground was riddled with traps and restrictions; a single misstep could lead to utter destruction.

"Everyone be careful, every step here is fraught with danger," Zhang Peng warned in a low voice. He circulated the chaotic law power of his mid-stage Nascent Soul realm, forming a protective barrier around himself, and cautiously explored forward.

Suddenly, a deep roar came from ahead. A gigantic monster slowly emerged from the darkness, its entire body covered in red scales, each scale shimmering with a blazing light. It spewed forth raging flames, igniting the surrounding air.

"This is the Fiery Hellfire Dragon, its strength is at the late Nascent Soul stage!" Zhang Peng's expression changed drastically. He quickly cast "Law Cage," enveloping everyone within it to resist the Fiery Hellfire Dragon's attacks...
