New Domain Rumors, Adventure Rekindled

After bidding farewell to the Lingxi Tribe, Chen Siyu and Chen Ruixuan traveled eastward. They had heard tales of a mysterious Mystical Realm in the far east, a place filled with strange sights and powerful spiritual energy, yet also harboring countless unknown dangers and opportunities. This legend deeply captivated the siblings, and they yearned to explore and enhance their strength in that enigmatic land.

Along the way, they traversed vast forests, crossed rushing rivers, and experienced diverse cultures and customs. In a bustling cultivation town, the siblings gathered more detailed information about the Mystical Realm.

"I've heard the Mystical Realm only opens once every century, and its entrance lies deep within the mist-shrouded Phantom Moon Forest. Furthermore, only those with a special spiritual root or a stroke of luck can enter," an elder with white hair recounted animatedly in a teahouse.

"What exactly is inside? Why do people yearn for it so much?" Chen Ruixuan asked curiously.

The elder stroked his beard and said mysteriously, "It is said that within the Mystical Realm lies a Spirit Crystal Mountain, and the spirit crystals on the mountain contain extremely potent spiritual energy. Obtaining even one would double one's cultivation speed. There are also rumors that in the core of the Mystical Realm, an ancient cultivation manual is hidden. Whoever obtains it might be able to comprehend powerful spells that transcend the mundane."

Chen Siyu and Chen Ruixuan exchanged glances, their eyes gleaming with excitement. They decided to head to the Phantom Moon Forest to find the entrance to the Mystical Realm.

After several days of arduous travel, the siblings finally arrived at the Phantom Moon Forest. A faint silver mist permeated the forest, where ancient, towering trees intertwined their branches, blocking out the sky. Occasional strange beast roars echoed from the depths of the forest, instilling a sense of awe.

They cautiously made their way through the forest when suddenly, a peculiar spiritual beast, resembling a deer but with wings, flew overhead. Chen Ruixuan exclaimed in surprise, pointing at the beast, "Sister, look! What is that? It's so beautiful."

Chen Siyu smiled and said, "This must be a Phantom Moon Spirit Deer. They are said to be one of the guardians of the Phantom Moon Forest. Let's not provoke it and continue searching for the entrance."

Just then, a clear stream appeared before them, its water shimmering with multicolored light. Chen Ruixuan excitedly ran towards it, intending to scoop up some water to drink. Chen Siyu quickly stopped him, "Younger brother, be careful. This stream looks strange; don't try it lightly."

As soon as she spoke, several multicolored water snakes suddenly darted out of the stream, their mouths agape, lunging towards Chen Ruixuan. Chen Siyu swiftly swung her Five-Colored Ribbon, entangling the water snakes and flinging them back into the stream with a forceful throw.

"It seems the Phantom Moon Forest hides dangers everywhere; we must be even more cautious," Chen Siyu remarked.

The siblings continued along the stream, hoping to find clues about the entrance. As they walked, they noticed strange symbols carved on the stones by the stream. Chen Siyu carefully examined these symbols and found subtle connections to runes she had seen elsewhere. After some thought, she finally deciphered their meaning: follow the stream upstream, and at the peak of moonlight, they would find the entrance to the Mystical Realm.

By then, the sky was darkening, and the moon was slowly rising. Chen Siyu and Chen Ruixuan quickened their pace, heading upstream. As they advanced, the moonlight grew brighter, casting a silver glow upon the forest, as if draping the entire world in a dreamy veil.

Finally, at the end of the stream, a massive stone gate appeared. Exquisite patterns were carved onto the gate, depicting soaring phoenixes, charging dragons, and various strange runes. As the moonlight fully enveloped the stone gate, the runes on it suddenly lit up, and the gate slowly opened, releasing a surge of powerful spiritual energy.

Chen Siyu and Chen Ruixuan exchanged excited glances and walked through the stone gate without hesitation. Beyond the gate lay a shimmering passage, and at its end, a peculiar light could be faintly seen. They knew they were about to step into the mysterious Mystical Realm, where a brand-new adventure awaited them... And what encounters and challenges lay in wait for them in this unknown domain?
