Chapter 454: Did you accidentally trigger it again?

King Qi nodded in agreement, "Don't worry, I will do my utmost to protect the Silver Lotus Flower."

Gu Qingwan also expressed support, "You go ahead, I will guard this place together with King Qi."

Lu Yuan and Su Liyan ventured deep into the grotto.

They carefully passed through fragments of ancient ruins, occasionally feeling disturbances of the Ashen Power.

The grotto's interior was extremely complex; they had to proceed with extreme caution. King Qi and Gu Qingwan stood at the entrance of the Ancient Ruined Grotto, fixedly gazing into the dark passage deep within.

Faint light streamed through the cracks in the entrance, making the whole scene appear even more gloomy and terrifying.

King Qi felt both excited and nervous; he understood the importance of this mission.

The Miniature Star River True Realm is a mysterious and exhilarating place, full of endless possibilities.

As a warrior, he was filled with curiosity and anticipation for the unknown.

But at the same time, he realized that the Ashen Power lurked deep within the grotto, extremely dangerous.

Gu Qingwan stood beside King Qi, exuding a calm and assured demeanor.

Although she usually had no desires and was indifferent to fame and fortune, she held firm conviction in the mission to protect the Miniature Star River True Realm.

She expressed silent trust and support to King Qi.

"Are you ready?" King Qi asked, his gaze fixed firmly ahead.

Gu Qingwan nodded, "I am already prepared."

"This expedition is full of uncertainty, but we must remain vigilant and protect the Miniature Star River True Realm."

King Qi took a deep breath, his body full of strength, and said confidently, "We bear the responsibility to guard this place; we will surely overcome this crisis smoothly."

Gu Qingwan smiled and nodded, "I trust your abilities; our tacit understanding and cooperation will be the key to the upcoming exploration."

"No matter what happens, we will face it together."

They firmly gripped their fists in unison, gazing at each other in the darkness, a sense of resolve and determination filling the air. Lu Yuan and Su Liyan cautiously passed through the darkness of the Ancient Ruined Grotto, faint light streaming through the cracks in the cavern ceiling, twinkling like stars.

The grotto was suffused with a mysterious atmosphere, making it hard to suppress inner excitement.

"We must stay alert; there could be various traps here."

Lu Yuan softly reminded Su Liyan, while carefully observing the surroundings, ready to respond to any danger that might appear.

Su Liyan gripped the Ice Crystal Long Whip tightly, her expression solemn and alert.

She sensed the growing richness of the Miniature Star River True Realm's aura, as if endless secrets lay hidden in this unknown land.

"I can feel it; this place is brimming with life and energy."

"The Miniature Star River True Realm must be very special," Su Liyan replied softly.

Lu Yuan nodded; he also sensed the presence of the Miniature Star River True Realm.

He took a deep breath, his heart filled with anticipation.

As someone skilled in mastering Immortal Arts, he longed to understand this mysterious place more deeply.

The two continued forward into the grotto, their steps steady and strong.

Each step they took carried determination and faith; they both understood that this expedition was not merely to complete the mission, but also to protect the Miniature Star River True Realm.

The further they went, the stronger the rich aura of the Miniature Star River True Realm within the grotto became.

The faint light faded away, leaving only a bluish glow shimmering on Lu Yuan and Su Liyan.

The Cold Jade Ice Shard in Su Liyan's hand emitted a faint chill, endowing her with boundless strength.

"Lu Yuan, what do you feel?"

Su Liyan couldn't help but ask, feeling in this mysterious place that the power they possessed was about to be unleashed to its fullest.

Lu Yuan halted his steps, gazing ahead.

"I can sense that the Miniature Star River True Realm emanates an incredibly powerful and pure energy."

He reached out to touch the cavern wall; a breeze blew, and his hand was instantly enveloped by a warm, pure aura.

"This is a mysterious world that defies heaven; we need to stay vigilant."

Lu Yuan spoke solemnly, fully aware of the importance of the Miniature Star River True Realm; we bear the responsibility to protect this world.

Su Liyan fixed her gaze on Lu Yuan, "I trust your abilities; no matter what happens, we can face it together."

A warm feeling welled up in Lu Yuan's heart, "Thank you for your trust and support."

"Let's continue forward." Lu Yuan and Su Liyan looked ahead at the Vast Mirage Tower; the ancient, dilapidated structure exuded an indescribable charm that drew their gaze.

"Is this the Vast Mirage Tower? It looks truly ancient and mysterious."

Su Liyan said softly, she was full of longing and curiosity.

Lu Yuan silently gazed at the Vast Mirage Tower, feeling the heavy worldly qi and mighty pressure permeating within.

This power made him feel somewhat awed, but he did not retreat.

On the contrary, a steadfast fighting spirit and unyielding will gradually rose in his heart.

"Although the Vast Mirage Tower's interior is full of the unknown and danger, we cannot abandon it because of that," Lu Yuan murmured to himself.

He deeply realized that, facing immense pressure, his inner latent potential was gradually awakening.

Su Liyan looked at Lu Yuan's resolute and calm visage, as if she saw his true invincibility; at that moment she felt deeper admiration and trust toward him.

"Shall we explore the Vast Mirage Tower?"

Su Liyan asked quietly, she knew that under Lu Yuan's leadership, no matter how great the difficulties and dangers, they could overcome them together.

Lu Yuan gave a slight nod, his eyes flashing with fearless light.

"It's time to reveal our true strength; let us enter the Vast Mirage Tower and uncover its secrets."

The two entered the Vast Mirage Tower in unison.

Before entering the tower, Lu Yuan calmed his mind and gradually awakened the latent potential within his body.

He felt himself drawing ever closer to the true peak state.

The interior of the Vast Tower was filled with a mysterious and oppressive atmosphere.

The towering tower consisted of countless layers, each with different mechanisms and defenses.

But this did not cause Lu Yuan and Su Liyan to retreat.

They slowly climbed the stairs, having to be careful on each step, guarding against sudden traps or enemies.

"Lu Yuan, do you feel it?"

"This place seems to hide countless secrets."

Su Liyan said softly, her perception far surpassing that of ordinary people, making her extremely sensitive to changes in the surroundings.

Lu Yuan remained silent for a moment, then looked at the narrowing space ahead on the stairs, his expression firm and unwavering.

"This is a battle testing our strength and wisdom; we must face it."

They continued climbing until they reached the summit of the Vast Tower.

Before them appeared a massive wooden door, covered in ancient and mysterious runes. (End of chapter)
