Chapter 617: Awakening of the Mysterious Relic

Su Liyan smiled faintly: "Let's go; maybe we can gain more support from this alliance."

Thus, Lu Yuan, Su Liyan, and Zi Xi'er walked out of the inner chamber together, heading toward the conference room.

In the conference room, Mo Di and other sect emissaries were waiting for Lu Yuan's party to arrive.

Lu Yuan saw those people begin to communicate and discuss the alliance details.

To increase its strength, Lei Huo Dan Ge needed to cooperate with other powerful sects.

"Brother Lu Yuan!"

Mo Di saw them enter, immediately stood up, and said, "I am currently discussing the alliance matters with the various sect emissaries."

Lu Yuan smiled faintly: "How have your discussions gone?"

"I am really looking forward to hearing your ideas."

After the people exchanged glances for a moment, they finally reached a consensus.

Mo Di said proudly: "Everyone unanimously believes that cooperating with Lei Huo Dan Ge will bring more benefits to our sect."

"We are willing to sign an alliance agreement with you."

Upon hearing this news, Lu Yuan, Su Liyan, and Zi Xi'er couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief, feeling delighted about Lei Huo Dan Ge's future.

"Thank you very much for the support of all the sects."

Lu Yuan sincerely thanked them, saying, "I believe our alliance will certainly help Lei Huo Dan Ge rise in the Xiuzhen Jie."

In the Misty Cloud Valley of Xuanwu Ridge, a group of cultivators wearing Daoist robes raised their heads to gaze upon the enormous ancient relic gate towering into the clouds.

Their eyes revealed excitement and anticipation.

One of them, a young cultivator dressed in Qingxia Sect attire named Lin You, felt this expedition was extremely thrilling.

He resolutely stepped forward, carefully searching for the mechanism hidden within the ancient relic.

Soon after, Lin You finally discovered an exquisite stone block and immediately realized it was likely a hidden mechanism.

He lightly touched the slightly indented spot on the stone block with his finger.

As Lin You moved, the entire relic suddenly trembled, and a mysterious, potent aura filled the air.

Lu Yuan sat in the inner chamber of Lei Huo Dan Ge, focusing on setting up the Detection Technique; under his skilled operation, magical energy transformed into a phantom projected onto the wall.

At that moment, Lu Yuan suddenly felt an abnormal surge of energy; he immediately stopped his actions and turned his head to look at the phantom on the wall.

"Could someone have triggered the mechanism?" Lu Yuan wondered.

He immediately directed the phantom to fly toward the source of the energy fluctuation.

At the same time, inside the ancient relic, Lin You was enveloped by the mysterious power that had been released.

This power resembled a fine thread wrapping around his body, gradually merging with him.

Lin You felt a surge of power within his body and could not help but be overjoyed.

This strange energy seemed to bestow upon him immense strength, making him feel he could reach another realm.

At that moment, Lu Yuan received news from the Detection Technique and realized the seriousness of the situation.

He knew this power was not ordinary; it might be an important treasure or a secret left behind by the ancients.

"I must go check it out!" Lu Yuan decided to act immediately.

Lu Yuan gestured to Su Liyan and told her to follow him.

Meanwhile, Zi Xi'er was responsible for protecting Lei Huo Dan Ge's safety; she understood she had to stay at the hall in case they could not solve the mystery of the captured energy.

Lu Yuan and Su Liyan swiftly followed the direction of the energy fluctuation.

They flew using immortal arts, swiftly crossing mountains and forests, heading straight to the location where the energy fluctuation source was detected.

Not long after, they arrived at a secluded valley.

The sight before them left them awestruck.

At the valley's center, a layered, colorful, awe-inspiring light-and-shadow show was unfolding.

Countless brilliant rays of light emanated from the air, dazzling like a kaleidoscope.

Lin You lay on the bed, enjoying this unparalleled scenery, his heart filled with surprise and delight.

He felt completely immersed in this wonderful show.

"This is..."

Su Liyan stared blankly at the dazzling, disorienting scene before her and said, "Is this the legendary lost mysterious power?"

A flicker of warning crossed Lu Yuan's eyes; he deeply understood the danger of this power.

He cautiously shouted, "Lin You, you must control yourself and not be bewitched by this power!"

However, Lin You was immersed in the fantastical light and could not hear Lu Yuan's call at all.

Lu Yuan's brows furrowed tightly; he realized the situation might spiral out of control.

He decided to employ a high-level technique from the Five Elements Escape Technique immortal art—the Dust-Clearing Art.

He lightly flicked his finger, and instantly a pure bolt of lightning descended from the heavens, enveloping Lin You.

The lightning power seemed to wash away the demonic qi that gave rise to the strange energy within the magnificent scenery.

In an instant, Lin You awoke, feeling the value and danger carried by the mysterious power on his body.

"Thank you for saving me!" Lin You said somewhat hesitantly.

Lu Yuan withdrew the lightning power and told Lin You, "Such a mysterious and hard-to-control power is a forbidden object in our Xiuzhen Jie."

"If you can master it, you will surely be able to exert it to the utmost, but given its importance, you must act with caution."

"I understand."

Lin You solemnly nodded.

Lu Yuan then said, "We must inform the Supreme Dao Ancestor of this; perhaps he can offer some advice and assistance."

Su Liyan and Mo Di together came to the Water Mirror Platform of Bibo Lake, preparing to contemplate the profound mysteries of Heaven's Dao.

They stood by the lake, gazing at the calm water surface.

By the Azure Wave Lake, the water was clear to the bottom, the surface as still as a mirror, sparkling with brilliant light under the sunlight.

Su Liyan was filled with anticipation; she hoped to foresee future dangers through the Water Mirror Platform so she could prepare in advance.

She believed the Water Mirror Platform possessed mysterious and powerful strength, capable of projecting fragments of the world's future.

Mo Di stood to the side, yearning to strengthen his Dragon Clan bloodline power.

He knew he would play an important role in the upcoming challenges, so he urgently hoped to obtain useful information from the Water Mirror Platform.

Su Liyan walked toward the small island by the lake, where a huge and ancient Water Mirror Platform stood.

She lightly touched the surface of the Water Mirror Platform, which was covered in runes and mysterious patterns.

Instantly, the entire Water Mirror Platform emitted a faint ripple.

The lake water began to ripple, gradually forming a vast and magnificent scene.

Su Liyan focused her gaze; in the image, a desolate valley gradually appeared, at its center emanating a powerful dark aura.

"Could this be the impending danger of the future?"

Su Liyan's heart was filled with doubt and worry.

Mo Di walked up to Su Liyan's side, he looked around, and felt the power flowing within the Water Mirror Platform. (End of chapter)
