Chapter 720: Ancient Question

On the door, there is a line of ancient words engraved: "Only the light of the soul can open the door to wisdom."

Li took a deep breath and turned to look at his companions. The three of them smiled at each other, without words, their minds were connected. They walked hand in hand towards the light door, their hearts filled with unprecedented determination and hope.

“Here we are, ‘Wise Heart’. No matter what your test is, we will move forward, because this is our mission and our common belief.”

The door slowly opened, and a gentle yet powerful force rushed towards them, as if recognizing them, or welcoming a long-lost visitor. In the light, a whole new world appeared before them. There was no night here, and a faint light was everywhere. The air seemed to contain particles of knowledge, which made people feel awe and desire.

"Is this the 'Heart of a Wise Man'? It feels like I have stepped into another dimension." Su Ye exclaimed, with curiosity and surprise flashing in his eyes.

Alan looked around, trying to analyze everything here with scientific thinking: "The energy field here is far beyond our imagination. I have a hunch that we will find the answers to all our questions here."

As the three were immersed in this strange scene, a gentle voice sounded in their minds: "Welcome, brave explorers. Your journey is long and arduous, but it proves that you are worthy of this gift of wisdom."

Li looked up, trying to find the source of the voice, but found that the voice was everywhere: "Who are you? Is this really the source of all wisdom?"

"I am the guardian consciousness of this space and the manager of the 'Heart of the Wise.' Are you here to seek answers or for a greater goal?" The voice was full of vicissitudes and wisdom, as if it could see through their hearts.

"Both." Li answered firmly, "We want to understand how to use knowledge correctly to promote world peace and progress, and we also hope to solve the mysteries that plague the world."

"Very good, then please follow me." The voice led them towards a magnificent hall. In the center of the hall was floating a huge book with dazzling gems inlaid on the cover, shining with dazzling light.

"This is the core of the 'Heart of the Wise' - the Book of Knowledge. It contains all the wisdom and knowledge in the world, but only those with pure hearts and upright intentions can interpret its contents." The guardian consciousness explained.

Allen couldn't wait to stretch out his finger and touch the page. In an instant, stars seemed to flow in his eyes, and endless knowledge flowed in his mind. "I saw... a new theory about energy, which can completely solve the problem of resource depletion!"

Li closed her eyes, and what she felt was a warm and profound power that taught her to understand people's hearts and heal trauma. "It turns out that real power comes from understanding and empathy."

Su Ye smiled even more brilliantly, his body emitting a faint light, which was a new understanding of fighting and protection. "I understand now, force is not for conquest, but for protection."

The guardian consciousness nodded with satisfaction: "You have passed the final test. The recognition of the 'Heart of the Wise' will give you the power to change the world. But remember, the power of knowledge is a double-edged sword. Be sure to use it with caution."

Just as the three were immersed in joy and achievement, the voice of the Secret Keeper rang in their ears again: "Children, it is getting late. You need to take the wisdom here and return to your world to continue your journey."

Li opened her eyes and found herself still standing in front of the light door. Allen and Su Ye were also stunned and reluctant. "Is this... a dream?"

"No, this is not a dream." The keeper walked out from the darkness, his eyes showing certainty. "Your souls have been imprinted by the 'Heart of the Wise', and the seeds of knowledge have taken root in your hearts. Next, it is up to you to make these seeds blossom and bear fruit."

On the way back, Li, Allen and Su Ye shared their experiences and insights, and their hearts were filled with unprecedented clarity and determination. They knew that the road ahead was still long and full of unknowns, but as long as there was light in their hearts, they would not be afraid of darkness.

In a tavern, they met a few young adventurers. After hearing about their experiences, the adventurers' eyes were full of admiration and longing: "You are the legendary warriors, right? Have you found the 'Heart of the Wise'?"

Li smiled, with a gentle light in her eyes: "We have found something more important than knowledge - understanding how to use this power correctly to bring real changes to the world."

This time, a monster with thorns all over its body and dark flames burning in its eyes appeared. It was the guardian of the deep forest - the Thorn Flame Beast. It was awakened by the death of the Frost Beast and was extremely angry.

"Alan, be careful!" As soon as Su Ye finished speaking, the Thorn Flame Beast suddenly swung its flaming thorns and rushed towards Alan. Although Alan tried to dodge, he was still hit by a cluster of flames. His body shook violently and he fell to the ground, and the Sword of Wind also flew out of his hand.

"Alan!" Everyone gathered around anxiously, only to see that Alan's face was pale, his clothes had been burnt, and he was seriously injured.

"We must leave here immediately and find a safe place to treat Alan." Li made a quick decision, and the ancient book automatically opened, looking for emergency treatment methods and providing directions at the same time.

Lu Renchou immediately carried the injured Allen on his back, while Kyle and Su Ye were responsible for covering the rear and resisting the pursuit of the Thorn Flame Beast. They used the natural cover to shuttle between the trees and try to slow down the monster.

"Su Ye, can your Mirror of Light delay it for a while? We need more time to evacuate." Kyle shouted while releasing lightning attacks.

Su Ye took a deep breath, and the Mirror of Light lit up with dazzling light, forming a wall of light that temporarily blocked the path of the Thorn Flame Beast. But the monster did not seem to be afraid of the light, it roared, and the flames around it became more intense, and began to erode the wall of light.

"Go! I can't hold on for much longer!" Su Ye's voice trembled a little.

When the light wall was about to break, the group finally found a hidden cave and quickly hid in it. The Thorn Flame Beast wandered around the cave entrance and tried to get in several times, but finally gave up because the entrance was too narrow, and its angry roar echoed outside the cave.

Inside the cave, Li quickly began treatment. Her fingers lightly touched Allen's wound, and ancient spells were chanted. A faint green light enveloped Allen, slowing down the deterioration of the wound.

"His condition is very unstable. We need to find a way to cure him as soon as possible." Li looked solemn.

"I'm here, nothing will happen to him." Lu Renchou said firmly. Under his ordinary appearance, he had profound healing abilities, silently supplying Allen with life force. Kyle and Su Ye stood guard and discussed countermeasures. "We must find a way to control the monster, or... find its weakness." Su Ye frowned.

"There may be records in ancient books. I will continue to look them up." Li nodded, flipping through the pages of the ancient book in his hand as if racing against time.

As the night deepened, a tense and hopeful atmosphere filled the cave. Alan's breathing gradually became steady, but behind his tightly closed eyes, it seemed that a more intense battle was brewing.

"We'll face it when I recover." Alan's whisper, though weak, was full of determination.

"Alan, don't be stubborn, your safety is the most important." Su Ye gently stroked his forehead, his eyes full of determination for the future, "We will find a solution, together."

At this moment, there was a sudden sound of rustling footsteps outside the cave, followed by a panicked voice: "You are here! Thank the gods, I finally found you."

A ragged traveler with his face covered in dirt and sweat appeared at the entrance of the cave. His arrival alerted everyone, and the Thunder Spear in Kyle's hand quietly gathered momentum.

"Don't be nervous, my friend. My name is Roland, and I'm an explorer who travels all over the world." Roland raised his hands to show that he meant no harm. "I accidentally discovered this cave while on the run, and after hearing your conversation, I thought I could help."

"You said you can help us?" Li asked doubtfully, but he still did not put down the ancient book in his hand, ready to deal with any emergency at any time.

"Yes, I know something about the Thorn Flame Beast." Roland took a breath, looking a little tired. "It is a creature from ancient legends. It guards a secret deep in this forest. It is said that only a person with true wisdom and courage can calm its anger."

"Secret?" Lu Renchou asked curiously. Although she was quiet in the team, she could always ask key questions at critical moments.

"A treasure forgotten by time, containing the power to control natural elements and even heal all pains." Roland's eyes flashed with a strange light, "But I believe that the artifact in your hands has already indicated that you are the heroes in this prophecy."

Kyle and Su Ye exchanged glances, with doubts and hopes intertwined in their hearts. "If we can really find the treasure, maybe we can cure Alan and get rid of the Thorn Flame Beast." Su Ye's tone revealed a hint of expectation.

"However, to get there, you must pass through a maze called the 'Soul Trial', which is full of illusions and trials." Roland's words brought new challenges to everyone.

"Trial? We are not afraid." Alan's voice was weak but firm. "As long as I can end this disaster and protect the lives of all living things on this land, I am willing to accept any challenge."

"Then let's go and cover our tracks under the cover of night." Kyle stood up, surrounded by the power of thunder and lightning, ready to face whatever was coming next.

After making simple preparations, they followed Roland and quietly left the cave with hope and determination. Under the starlight, their figures were stretched out, as if they were the thread of fate, leading them to an unknown adventure.

"Remember, unity and faith are our most powerful weapons." Su Ye reminded softly as the team marched. The Mirror of Light in her hand emitted a soft light, dispelling a bit of the chill of the night.

"Not only that," Lu Renchou suddenly interrupted, with a rare confidence in her smile, "there is also friendship and sacrifice. For each other, we can transcend everything."

"That's right." Roland nodded in agreement, his eyes sparkling with admiration for the team. "It is these things that give you the power to overcome everything. I am fortunate to be a part of this power."

They passed through the dark forest. Roland's guidance was extremely accurate, as if he knew every leaf and every inch of land in the forest. The moonlight shone through the dense treetops, illuminating the path ahead in a mottled manner, adding a bit of mystery and uneasiness.

"In front of us is the entrance to the Soul Trial." Roland stopped and pointed to a huge stone door covered with strange runes. The stone door emitted a faint blue light, as if it was humming an ancient ballad, luring travelers into the unknown.

“It doesn’t look like they’ll let you go easily.” Kyle stepped forward, gathering the power of thunder and lightning in his hands, ready to fight any threat that might arise.

"Patience, my friends." Li gently opened the ancient book, and the ancient characters flowed, resonating subtly with the runes on the stone door. "Let us open this road with wisdom rather than force."

As Li chanted, the stone door slowly opened, revealing a deep and winding passage. The walls on both sides of the passage were engraved with reliefs of various creatures, which seemed to be telling ancient stories.

"Everyone will face their own fears and desires in this trial." Roland's voice sounded particularly deep in the echoing passage. "Remember, only by recognizing your own heart can you find a way out."

A group of people entered the trial, and were immediately separated. The surrounding environment suddenly changed, and everyone fell into his own trial.

Su Ye found herself standing in a burning forest, the flames like an out-of-control beast, ravaging everything. "Calm down, light can dispel darkness." She reminded herself, the mirror of light shone in her hand, turning into streams of clear water to extinguish the flames around her. Gradually, the flames receded, and she saw a way out.

Kyle was facing an endless storm, with thunder and lightning and howling winds. "This is my territory." He raised the corners of his mouth, controlling the rhythm of thunder and lightning and storms, and finally opened up a passage in the thunder and lightning.

Li was drawn into a maze of knowledge. Ancient books were like a sea, and words were like a mountain, pressing her so hard that she could hardly breathe. "Knowledge is power, but also a burden." She took a deep breath, and the ancient books automatically flipped through the pages, guiding her in the right direction, and finally breaking through the barrier of knowledge.

Lu Renchou was facing the test of loneliness. Everything around her gradually disappeared, leaving her alone in the endless darkness. "I am not alone, because there is light in my heart." She murmured to herself, and a warm current flowed out from the bottom of her heart, turning into stars, illuminating her way home.

When they gathered again, everyone looked more mature and determined. In front of them, a door inlaid with various gems stood quietly, and behind the door, it seemed that the answer they were looking for was hidden.
