Chapter 123 The Truth About the Magic Crystal Revealed, Glory Fills the Immortal Sect
Dai Yao walked up to the magic crystal, took a deep breath, and saw the magic crystal shimmering with a cold light before her eyes. She slowly stretched out her slender fingers and gently touched the surface of the magic crystal.
The moment her fingertips touched the magic crystal, a chilling energy, like a cold snake, swiftly burrowed into her body, instantly spreading throughout her entire being. She couldn't help but shiver, and she could almost hear the slight chattering of her teeth. This magic crystal was even more bizarre than she had imagined!
"Hiss... This thing's got some tricks up it!" Dai Yao muttered to herself, using her golden finger to sense the flow of energy inside the magic crystal. She closed her eyes, as if she could "see" the chaotic energy inside the magic crystal, like a pot of boiling porridge, with dark power running rampant like black rat droppings, polluting the originally pure magic crystal.
What should I do? Dai Yao felt a headache coming on, as if a small hammer was hitting her head.
She tried to use her spiritual power to explore the internal structure of the magic crystal, but found that the magic crystal was like an intricate maze, with dark power moving through it. It felt like countless slippery loaches were slipping through her fingers, making it impossible for her to grasp anything. She felt like she was groping in a dark abyss, surrounded by cold and sticky conditions, and could be swallowed by dark power at any moment.
"Damn! This is too difficult!" Dai Yao couldn't help but curse, feeling utterly powerless and depressed. No, she couldn't give up! She was a woman burdened with the important task of delivering a message; how could she be defeated by a mere broken stone?
She focused her mind and once again activated her golden finger, carefully sensing the flow of energy within the magic crystal.
This time, she no longer focused on the chaotic dark forces, but instead concentrated on the inherent fortune of the magic crystal itself. Gradually, she discovered some patterns.
Although the magic crystal's fortune was tainted by dark forces, its core remained pure, like a pearl encased in mud. Moreover, she discovered that the dark forces and the magic crystal were not completely fused, but rather interacted through a special connection point. This connection point acted like a thread, continuously channeling dark forces into the magic crystal.
"Found it!" Dai Yao was secretly delighted; she seemed to have found a breakthrough. Just as Dai Yao felt her spiritual power was about to run out and the dark power was about to counterattack, a sudden flash of inspiration struck her.
She recalled an ancient book she had read before her transmigration, which described a similar method of energy counteraction. Following her memory, she quickly adjusted her spiritual energy output. The previously trickling stream of energy instantly surged, like a sharp sword piercing the connection point. "Crack!" The sound of the connection breaking was even crisper and louder than before. A dazzling light erupted from within the magic crystal, spreading outwards from her center to form a massive energy vortex. At the center of the vortex, she appeared like a goddess descending, the surrounding dark energy purified by the light and transformed into starlight, swirling around her.
The dark power inside the magic crystal instantly lost its source, and like a deflated balloon, it quickly shrank and dissipated.
The magic crystal regained its original brilliance, radiating a soft light like the warm morning sun, illuminating the entire immortal sect. The members of the immortal sect, who had been holding their breath and nervously watching Dai Yao's every move, erupted in deafening cheers upon seeing the magic crystal restored.
"She did it! Dai Yao did it!"
"Dai Yao is really amazing!"
"The Light of the Immortal Sect! Goddess!"
The sect elder walked excitedly to Dai Yao, tears streaming down his face: "Dai Yao, you saved the sect, you are our great hero!" He reached out his hand tremblingly, wanting to pat Dai Yao's shoulder, but the mysterious man silently blocked it.
Dai Yao smiled modestly, "Not at all, it's just good luck." But secretly she was delighted: Hehe, I'm practically cheating!
Just as everyone was immersed in joy, Dai Yao suddenly sensed an unusual aura. She abruptly raised her head and looked up at the sky…
"Wait, it seems... there's something else..." She held the pure magic crystal high in her hand...
Dai Yao stood in front of the immortal sect members, holding up a glittering magic crystal. She felt like she was holding an Oscar statuette, and all that was missing was to give an acceptance speech.
She cleared her throat and began, "Ahem, actually, this magic crystal... it's an ancient relic, left over from the ancient war between immortals and demons. It contains a lot of energy, but it also has a flaw: it comes with a debuff effect from dark power." She paused, seeing everyone below staring in disbelief, and secretly gloated: Hehe, my protagonist aura isn't just for show!
"Only those who truly understand it can master it perfectly; otherwise, just wait to be devoured by the dark forces! Just thinking about it is thrilling!"
Dai Yao vividly recounted the secrets of the magic crystal, occasionally interjecting with popular internet memes, leaving everyone stunned yet amused by the girl's impressive and entertaining nature.
The sect leader stroked his beard and nodded repeatedly: "Dai Yao's achievements this time are truly a source of pride for the sect!"
The other disciples echoed, "Goddess! She's practically our idol!"
Dai Yao was so flattered by the praise that she secretly glanced at the mysterious man beside her. He was looking at her with a smile, his eyes full of doting and pride.
"Yaoyao, do whatever you want." A familiar voice rang in her ears, and the mysterious man gently pulled Dai Yao into his arms. Dai Yao felt as if she had fallen into a soft ball of cotton, warm and reassuring, and she could smell the faint fragrance emanating from the mysterious man.
Seeing this, the surrounding disciples from various immortal sects began to cheer, "Get together! Get together!"
Dai Yao's cheeks flushed slightly, but her heart was filled with sweetness.
Just then, she suddenly sensed a chilling aura emanating from the crowd...
Dai Yao suddenly looked up, her gaze locking onto a furtive figure at the back of the crowd.
“Wait a minute…” she said softly, her eyes sharpening, “It seems… someone’s not happy…”
Dai Yao narrowed her eyes, and the sneaky figure quickly disappeared into the crowd.
"Trying to run? No way!" Dai Yao's lips curled into a sly smile. "I'm cheating!"
She grabbed the mysterious man's hand. "Come on, let's catch the bad guys!"
The mysterious man smiled indulgently, letting her pull him along. In a flash, the two disappeared from the spot.
With her sense of the flow of Qi, Dai Yao quickly locked onto the sneaky figure—it was Xingchen, who had been targeting her at every turn!
That kid's still up to no good; he's trying to cause trouble again!
"Hey, isn't this Senior Brother Xingchen? Why are you hiding here all by yourself? Are you planning to secretly practice some forbidden technique?" Dai Yao said sarcastically, her tone full of teasing.
Xingchen's expression changed; he hadn't expected Dai Yao to discover him so quickly. He forced himself to remain calm and sneered, "Dai Yao, don't be so smug! You got lucky this time, but you won't be so lucky next time!"
"Next time?" Dai Yao chuckled. "I think you should think about how to get through this first!"
Dai Yao deliberately approached Xingchen, constantly provoking him with her words. Enraged, Xingchen attempted to retaliate, summoning some evil magic. The surrounding environment instantly became eerie and terrifying, filled with a dark aura, as if countless cold hands were pulling at everyone. Dai Yao, however, remained calm. She raised her magic crystal, which emitted a bright light, easily deflecting Xingchen's attack and causing it to bounce back onto him, leaving Xingchen sprawled on the ground in a sorry state.
No sooner had he finished speaking than a sect deacon arrived with a group of disciples, surrounding Xingchen. It turned out that Dai Yao had secretly notified the deacon beforehand, waiting to catch Xingchen red-handed.
Xingchen's conspiracy was exposed. He was severely punished by the immortal sect for framing Dai Yao, stripped of all cultivation resources, and expelled from the sect. His former arrogance and conceit vanished, replaced by endless regret and despair.
Witnessing Xingchen's tragic end, those disciples who had once been jealous of Dai Yao fell silent, no longer daring to harbor any improper thoughts towards her.
Dai Yao's position in the immortal sect became more secure. She began to use the power of the magic crystal to improve her cultivation, advancing rapidly towards a higher realm of immortal cultivation.
With the help of the mysterious man, Dai Yao's strength improved by leaps and bounds. The relationship between the two also grew stronger day by day, and their sweet interactions were the envy of everyone around them.
"Yaoyao, are you ready?" The mysterious man looked at Dai Yao gently, his eyes gleaming with an inexplicable light.
“Yes!” Dai Yao nodded heavily and gripped the mysterious man’s hand tightly.
"Then, let's go." The mysterious man took Dai Yao's hand and led her towards a forbidden area deep within the immortal sect...
"Wait," Dai Yao suddenly stopped, sensing a powerful restrictive force, "Here..."
