Traveling through the world of immortal cultivation: My system is amazing

Chapter 855: The Mystery of Immortality Traps Xiao Bei: Confused and Exploring the Mysterious

Xiao Bei stood where he was, Taoist Xuanying's words were like entwined vines, tightly binding his thoughts.

"Mirror images and water moons, it's hard to tell the real from the fake..." He muttered to himself, and every word was like a phantom floating on the water, seemingly clear, but actually scattering at the touch of a finger.

He tried to grasp the key, but felt himself sinking deeper and deeper, as if he were in a fog and couldn't find his direction.

His deep eyes were filled with confusion at this moment, and his brows were furrowed, as if two mountains were pressing between his eyebrows, making his handsome face look even more solemn.

He felt an invisible pressure. Taoist Xuanying's words seemed to point to some hidden truth, but the truth was shrouded in thick fog and difficult to reach.

Beili stood silently beside Xiao Bei. She could feel Xiao Bei's inner struggle.

The wind in the valley blew gently, bringing a hint of coolness and also blowing her hair.

She reached out and gently held Xiao Bei's hand, wanting to use her warmth to dispel the confusion in his heart.

"Xiao Bei, don't worry, we'll find a solution together." Her voice was soft and firm, like a ray of sunshine in spring, trying to illuminate the haze in Xiao Bei's heart.

At this moment, a crisp voice broke the depressing atmosphere.

"Your Majesty, perhaps I have some ideas." Fairy Xinglan walked over slowly, her eyes bright and full of vitality, like a shining star.

Xiao Bei looked at Fairy Xinglan and motioned for her to continue.

"When the Taoist priest said 'Mirror flowers and water moons, reality is hard to distinguish,' could it be that what we see isn't real?" Fairy Xinglan said slowly, "Perhaps someone is using illusions to blind us, preventing us from seeing the truth."

Xiao Bei shook his head and denied Fairy Xinglan's guess.

"If it was an illusion, with my level of cultivation, it's impossible for me to be unaware of it." He paused and continued, "Besides, Taoist Xuanying can't be speaking without a purpose. His words must have other implications."

"But..." Fairy Xinglan wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Xiao Bei.

"There's no need to discuss this matter further." Xiao Bei's tone carried a hint of unquestionable majesty, "Master Xuanying's words are definitely not as simple as they appear."

Seeing Xiao Bei's persistence, Fairy Xinglan could only shut her mouth helplessly, but a hint of unwillingness flashed in her eyes.

She didn't understand why Xiao Bei was so stubborn. Was her idea really wrong?

The atmosphere between the two of them suddenly became a little stiff.

Beili watched from the side and sighed inwardly.

She knew Xiao Bei's character. Once he made up his mind, it would be difficult for him to change it.

However, Fairy Xinglan's enthusiasm and positivity made her unable to bear to blame her.

Xiao Bei took a deep breath and his gaze fell again on the place where Taoist Xuanying disappeared.

He vaguely felt that he seemed to have fallen into an invisible trap, and the mastermind behind the trap was secretly watching his every move.

He felt the pressure doubled and had to find the truth as soon as possible, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous.

"Let's leave here first." Xiao Bei said suddenly, his voice low and full of vigilance.

"Where are we going?" Beili asked.

"Go..." Xiao Bei stopped talking suddenly before he finished.

He turned his head sharply and looked towards the entrance of the valley.

"Who is there?"

Xiao Bei only felt that an invisible giant net was slowly tightening, pressing him so hard that he couldn't breathe.

His brows were tightly knitted together, and every step he took seemed to be walking on the edge of a knife. If he was not careful, he would be doomed.

The scenery of the surrounding valleys seemed to be stained with a layer of ink, which was so depressing that it was suffocating.

Beili looked at Xiao Bei with heartache, her bright eyes filled with worry at the moment.

She wanted to share his burden, but she didn't know where to start. She could only stay by his side silently and use her presence to tell him that he was not alone.

"Mirror flowers and water moons..." Xiao Bei murmured again. Countless images flashed through his mind, but he still couldn't capture the key point.

Suddenly, he stopped and his eyes pierced into the distance like a sharp sword.

"No! It's not that it's hard to tell the real from the fake, it's that it's hard to tell the true from the false!"

He suddenly realized that Taoist Xuanying was not implying that what they saw was a false illusion, but was reminding them that within the reality, there was a carefully disguised illusion!

An unprecedented light burst out from Xiao Bei's eyes, like the blue sky appearing after the clouds have parted, and all the confusion was swept away.

He clenched his fists excitedly, a confident smile appearing on the corners of his mouth.

"I understand!"

Beili looked at Xiao Bei's refreshed expression and felt a surge of joy in her heart.

She knew that her Xiao Bei would never be defeated by difficulties.

An atmosphere of hope began to spread between the two, dispelling the previous depression and dullness.

Xiao Bei paced back and forth, his eyes shining brightly, as if he wanted to see through the valley completely.

He felt the immortal energy in his body begin to boil, as if responding to his determination.

"I understand!" He stopped suddenly, staring at a seemingly ordinary stone on the ground.

"That's the problem!"

Beili walked forward curiously and looked at the stone in confusion.

"Here? Is there anything special here?"

Xiao Bei did not answer, but slowly stretched out his hand, and a golden light shot out from his palm and landed on the stone.

The stone remained motionless and showed no reaction.

"No, it's not enough." Xiao Bei whispered and increased the output of immortal energy.

The golden light became stronger and stronger, almost enveloping the entire stone.

Suddenly, the stone made a slight vibration, and then a tiny crack appeared on the surface of the stone.

The cracks grew bigger and bigger, and finally, the entire stone shattered, revealing something hidden inside - an ancient jade slip.

Xiao Bei reached out and picked up the jade slip, and a familiar yet unfamiliar breath hit him in the face.

He couldn't wait to place the jade slip between his eyebrows and began to read its contents.

However, at this moment, a cold voice suddenly sounded in the valley: "Found you..."

The cold voice drilled into Xiao Bei's ears like a poisonous snake, and he felt a chill running from the soles of his feet to his forehead.

He suddenly looked up and saw a man in a black robe, his face hidden in the shadows, walking slowly towards him.

The man exuded a disgusting smell of decay, like a demon crawling out of the abyss of hell.

"Dark Spirit Messenger?" Xiao Bei frowned. He didn't expect that the mysterious force would act so quickly and actually send people to stop him.

The Dark Spirit Messenger laughed, his voice hoarse and harsh.

"The Eternal Lord truly lives up to his reputation, surprisingly finding this place so quickly." His tone was tinged with sarcasm. "But, do you think finding a clue will change anything? Everything will be in vain!"

Before he finished speaking, the Dark Spirit Messenger suddenly attacked!

A dark streak of energy attacked Xiao Bei like a poisonous dragon, and wherever it passed, the space was slightly distorted.

Xiao Bei's face changed and he didn't dare to take it head-on.

He pulled Bei Li next to him and used teleportation to narrowly avoid the attack.

"boom!"

A streak of black energy hit the rock wall of the valley, causing a deafening roar that shook the earth.

Rocks collapsed, dust flew, and the entire valley shook violently.

"Be careful!" Xiao Bei reminded in a deep voice. He could feel the powerful force emanating from the Dark Spirit Messenger. He was definitely not an ordinary person.

Beili held Xiao Bei's hand tightly with a firm look in her eyes.

"Xiao Bei, I won't let you face it alone."

Looking at Bei Li's determined gaze, Xiao Bei felt a warm feeling in his heart.

He knew that no matter what danger he faced, Beili would stand by his side and share the burden with him.

"Okay!" Xiao Bei nodded heavily, holding the jade slip tightly in his hand. "Since they want to stop me, I will get to the bottom of this!"

The Dark Spirit Messenger saw the two people's clasped hands and said, "What a touching love story! It's a pity that you will soon go to hell together!"

He attacked again, this time, he did not use energy streams, but rushed directly towards Xiao Bei, condensing a black dagger in his hand, emitting a terrifying light.

Xiao Bei did not dare to be careless. He protected Bei Li behind him, and the immortal energy in his body circulated wildly. A golden light shield instantly appeared in front of him.

"boom!"

The black dagger stabbed fiercely into the golden light shield, making a sharp metal collision sound.

The light shield trembled violently and was almost shattered.

Xiao Bei groaned, feeling a powerful force surging into his body, causing his blood to boil.

He gritted his teeth and tried desperately to keep the light shield stable.

"It's useless!" The Dark Spirit Messenger grinned and exerted force with the dagger in his hand again.

"Crack!"

The golden light shield finally couldn't bear the weight and shattered.

The black dagger stabbed towards Xiao Bei's heart like a poisonous snake.

At the critical moment, Beili suddenly stood in front of Xiao Bei.

"Beili!" Xiao Bei was horrified. He wanted to stop it, but it was too late.

"Pfft!"

The black dagger pierced Beili's body.

"Xiao Bei..." Bei Li's face turned pale in an instant. She turned her head with difficulty and looked at Xiao Bei.

"You..." The Dark Spirit Messenger didn't seem to expect Bei Li to suddenly appear. He was stunned for a moment, then grinned and said, "Well, let you two, the unfortunate couple, die here together!"

"No!" Xiao Bei let out a heart-wrenching roar.

At this moment, Beili suddenly laughed.

"Xiao Bei, do you know?" she whispered, her voice weak but with a hint of sweetness, "Actually, I..."

"No!" Xiao Bei let out a heart-wrenching roar, watching the black dagger pierce Bei Li's body. The blood instantly dyed her clothes red, like an enchanting flower of the other shore, blooming in despair.

He felt a chill running down his spine to the top of his head, and the blood in his body seemed to freeze.

However, at this critical moment, a dazzling white light suddenly burst out from Beili's body.

The light was pure and sacred, carrying an ancient and powerful aura, which instantly blew the dark spirit messenger away.

"Is this... the power of the ancient immortals?" The Dark Spirit Messenger climbed up from the ground in a panic and looked at Beili in disbelief.

The black dagger in his hand actually broke into pieces and turned into powder under the white light.

Although Beili's face was pale, his eyes were extremely firm.

She slowly turned around and looked at Xiao Bei, a gentle smile on her lips: "Xiao Bei, I'm fine. I've said it before, I'm a descendant of the ancient immortals, the blood of my ancestors flows in my body, and I have the power to protect myself."

Xiao Bei finally woke up from his dream. He quickly stepped forward to support Bei Li, his eyes filled with concern and self-blame: "Bei Li, how are you? It's all my fault. I shouldn't have let you..."

"Don't talk nonsense." Bei Li shook her head gently, interrupting Xiao Bei's words, "I am your partner, so naturally I have to fight alongside you. Besides, I am fine, right?"

She gently wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth, and her eyes became sharp again.

She looked at the Dark Spirit Messenger and said coldly, "Dark Spirit Messenger, I, Beili, have remembered what happened today. One day, I will make you pay the price!"

The Dark Spirit Messenger was intimidated by Beili's aura and did not dare to look her in the eyes.

He was secretly shocked. He didn't expect Beili to possess such powerful strength.

He knew that today's events could not be resolved peacefully.

"Hmph, you're lucky!" The Dark Spirit Messenger said these harsh words in a cowardly manner and turned to flee.

His figure flashed and turned into a puff of black smoke, instantly disappearing into the valley.

"Want to escape? Not that easy!" Fairy Xinglan shouted and was about to chase after him.

"Fairy Xinglan, don't chase after a desperate enemy." Xiao Bei stopped her. He looked at Fairy Xinglan,

Fairy Xinglan blushed slightly when Xiao Bei praised her, and a sweet feeling welled up in her heart.

"Thank you for the compliment, Immortal Venerable. This is what I should do."

Xiao Bei nodded, looked around, and said loudly: "Everyone has seen what happened today. The Dark Spirit Messenger is the running dog of the mysterious force. They are trying to subvert the order of the fairy world. Their crime is unforgivable! From today on, I, Xiao Bei, will be irreconcilable with the mysterious force!"

His voice was like a huge bell, echoing in the valley and shocking everyone.

A joy of victory began to spread among Xiao Bei, Bei Li and Fairy Xinglan, dispelling the previous tension and fear.

Xiao Bei held the jade slip tightly in his hand. He must unravel the secret in the jade slip as soon as possible and find a way to fight against the mysterious force.

He followed the clues recorded in the jade slip and finally came to a hidden cave.

The cave is deep and dark, and the entrance is covered by a powerful ban, emitting a heart-pounding aura.

Xiao Bei stood at the entrance of the cave, feeling the strong pressure coming from the restriction.

"Is this... the place recorded in the jade slip..." Beili's voice trembled a little. She could feel the terrifying power contained in this restriction. Even she felt a palpitation.

Xiao Bei didn't say anything, but just stared at the restriction silently, with a determined light flashing in his eyes.

He took a deep breath and slowly raised his hand...
