Dapeng's Time Travel Life

Chapter 398 The Discussion at Lingxiao Pavilion and the Emergence of New Clues

Zhang Peng and his group, carrying the clues they had gathered from the cave, rushed back to Lingxiao Pavilion without stopping. Inside Lingxiao Pavilion, the elders of the various sects had been anxiously waiting. Upon hearing of Zhang Peng and his companions' return, they immediately gathered to discuss their next move.

The atmosphere in the council chamber was heavy. Zhang Peng recounted in detail the battle at the border and the strange symbols and patterns he had discovered, then placed the fragments inscribed with the symbols on the table. Xuan Chenzi picked up one, examined it carefully, and frowned: "These symbols seem familiar, yet elusive, as if they conceal an ancient and mysterious power."

Chisongzi stroked his beard, pondered for a moment, and said, "I once read some records about ancient evil arts in ancient books. The runes in them are somewhat similar to these symbols, but I have no clue about their specific meanings."

Liu Ruoli stepped forward, picked up a fragment, and tried to find clues by using her knowledge of ancient runes. "The arrangement of these symbols seems to follow a certain pattern. Perhaps it is a lost language. We need to find a way to decipher it."

Everyone fell into deep thought, and for a moment, the council hall was so quiet that only the softest breathing could be heard. Zhang Peng closed his eyes, circulating the power of the Chaos Law, attempting to perceive the information hidden within these symbols through his understanding of the Chaos Law. Under the unique perception of the Chaos Law, he seemed to catch a faint fluctuation of spiritual energy, closely connected to the symbols, as if telling a story of a forgotten history.

“I seem to sense the spiritual energy fluctuations within these symbols; there must be some kind of connection between them,” Zhang Peng said, slowly opening his eyes with a determined gaze.

Upon hearing this, everyone circulated their spiritual energy, attempting to sense the fluctuation. Murong Yu concentrated his mind, integrating the spiritual energy of the "Chaos Breeze Sword" into his senses. His brows furrowed and relaxed intermittently, as if he were engaging in an invisible dialogue with that mysterious power.

“I think I sensed it too. This fluctuation seems to contain an ancient calling, but it’s too faint and elusive,” Murong Yu said.

Pan Liwei and Cao Long unleashed their dark spiritual power, attempting to explore the secrets of the symbols from a dark perspective. The dark spiritual power flowed in their hands, colliding with the spiritual energy fluctuations on the symbols and producing a strange resonance.

“These symbols also have some connection with dark spiritual power. Perhaps we can start from the perspective of dark spiritual power to unravel the mystery,” Pan Liwei said.

Through everyone's efforts, the research on these symbols gradually progressed. They discovered that these symbols appeared to be components of an ancient magic circle, which was related to a mysterious treasure from ancient times. Legend has it that this treasure possessed the power to change the world, once triggering an earth-shattering war, and was ultimately sealed in a mysterious place.

“If we can find this treasure, we might be able to completely uncover the conspiracy of the black-robed men and the mysterious force behind them,” Zhang Peng said.

However, finding this mysterious treasure is no easy task. Ancient texts contain very little information about it, only that it is sealed in a dangerous place, surrounded by powerful restrictions and guardian beasts.

Just as everyone was in a predicament, a disciple from Lingxiao Pavilion rushed over with new information. "Elder Zhang Peng, we found an ancient book in the library of Lingxiao Pavilion. It contains some information related to these symbols and seems to be helpful in solving the mystery."

Upon hearing this, everyone immediately headed to the library. Deep within the library, an ancient book, exuding an aura of antiquity, lay quietly on a shelf. Zhang Peng carefully picked up the book, turned the pages, and although the text was ancient, with the help of the power of the Chaos Laws, he gradually understood its contents.

Ancient texts record that in ancient times, an evil force sought to rule the world. They created a powerful dark force, attempting to destroy all obstacles. To stop this evil force, the cultivators of the time united and, after a fierce battle, finally sealed it away. The key to the seal was a mysterious treasure.

"It seems the man in black robes wants to break the seal and release that evil force to achieve their ulterior motives," Zhang Peng said.

Realizing the gravity of the situation, everyone knew they had to find the mysterious treasure as soon as possible and reinforce the seal to completely eliminate the threat. According to clues in the ancient texts, the treasure was sealed in a place called the "Phantom Moon Realm." This realm was hidden within a mysterious space and would only open under specific times and conditions.

"The opening of the Illusionary Moon Realm is not far off, and we must be prepared," Zhang Peng said.

In the days that followed, everyone began preparing intensively for their entry into the Illusionary Moon Realm. They collected various precious spiritual items, refined powerful elixirs, and forged sturdy magical artifacts, making full preparations for the upcoming challenge.

During his preparations, Zhang Peng did not forget to cultivate. He continuously comprehended the mysteries of the Chaos Laws, further fusing them with the power of the divine sword, thus enhancing his strength. Murong Yu, Liu Ruoli, and the others also diligently cultivated to improve their own abilities.

Finally, the time for the opening of the Illusionary Moon Realm arrived. Zhang Peng led everyone to the entrance of the realm, where a mysterious light flickered, and a huge teleportation portal slowly appeared.

"Is everyone ready?" Zhang Peng turned to look at the crowd, his eyes filled with determination and trust.

Everyone nodded, their eyes revealing fearless courage. "Ready!" they said in unison.

Zhang Peng took a deep breath and stepped into the teleportation portal first. The others followed closely behind, their figures gradually disappearing into the light, embarking on a journey into the mysterious Moon Realm, filled with unknowns and dangers…
