Let you be a good grandson, you raise a group of banshees?

The old man smiled and said, "I am the guardian of the Oracle Pearl. You can call me Old Man Tianji."

"Can the Oracle Pearl... save my sister?" Lu Yuan asked anxiously, his eyes full of desire.

Elder Tianji stroked his beard and said slowly: "The Oracle Pearl has the ability to predict the future and can also guide you to find a way to save your sister. But..." He paused, his eyes became deep, "You need to pay a price."

"What's the price?" Lu Yuan asked without hesitation. For his sister, he was willing to give everything.

"You need to enter the realm of the oracle and accept the test of the oracle." Elder Tianji's voice became serious. "The realm of the oracle is full of dangers. If you are not careful, you will be doomed. Are you ready?"

Lu Yuan took a deep breath, his eyes firm: "For my sister, I am fearless!"

Old Man Tianji nodded, with a hint of appreciation in his eyes. He stretched out his hand and lightly touched the oracle bead, which suddenly shone brightly, and a vortex-shaped entrance appeared in the center of the altar.

"Go in, young man. Remember, your destiny is in your own hands." Old Man Tianji's voice echoed in the valley.

Lu Yuan stepped into the vortex without hesitation, and his figure disappeared in the light.

The realm of the oracle is a chaotic world. There is no time, no space, only nothingness. Lu Yuan felt as if he was in the boundless universe, lonely and insignificant.

Suddenly, a huge figure appeared in front of him. The figure was so tall that it reached the sky, and it exuded a terrifying aura, as if it came from an ancient giant beast.

"Mortal, how dare you trespass into the realm of oracle!" The giant beast's voice was deafening, as if it wanted to tear Lu Yuan into pieces.

Lu Yuan was not afraid at all. He drew his sword and pointed it at the beast: "I am here to accept the test of the oracle and save my sister's life!"

"You don't know what you can do!" The giant beast roared and slapped Lu Yuan with its huge claws.

Lu Yuan dodged the beast's attack with a flash of his body. He swung his sword, and a stream of sharp sword energy attacked the beast.

Although the beast was huge, it was extremely agile. It easily dodged Lu Yuan's attacks and continued to launch counterattacks.

Lu Yuan gradually felt powerless, the power of the beast was far beyond his imagination. He was already covered with wounds, and his clothes were stained with blood.

"Give up, mortal, you are no match for me!" The beast's voice was full of sarcasm.

Lu Yuan gritted his teeth, his eyes full of unyielding will. He would never give up, for his sister, he had to persevere!

At this moment, he remembered what Old Man Tianji said: "Your destiny is in your own hands."

He suddenly realized that the oracle's test was not for him to defeat the beast, but for him to demonstrate his determination and perseverance.

He took a deep breath and concentrated all the energy in his body on the tip of the sword. A dazzling sword light cut through the chaotic space and stabbed towards the heart of the giant beast.

The giant beast seemed to have sensed the power of the sword. A trace of fear flashed in its eyes. It wanted to dodge, but it was too late.

The sword light pierced through the heart of the giant beast, and the beast let out a shrill scream, and its huge body fell to the ground with a bang.

The chaotic space began to collapse, and Lu Yuan felt himself being sucked into it by a powerful force.

When he opened his eyes again, he found himself back in the valley. Old Man Tianji was standing in front of him with a smile on his face.

"Congratulations, young man, you have passed the test of the oracle." Before Lu Yuan had time to be happy, he suddenly felt dizzy, his eyes went dark, and he lost consciousness...

When he woke up, he found himself lying in a strange room. The room was simply decorated, but full of warmth.

A beautiful woman was sitting beside the bed, looking at him tenderly.

"Are you awake?" the woman said softly, her voice as sweet as the sound of nature.

Lu Yuan looked at the woman, his heart full of doubts. Who was this woman? Why was he here?
"You are……"

"You are..." Lu Yuan's voice was hoarse and weak.

The woman smiled slightly, and her eyes seemed to be twinkling with thousands of stars. "My name is Luo Li, and I am the guardian of this valley."

"The guardian of the valley?" Lu Yuan frowned, trying to recall everything that had happened before, but he only remembered the battle with the giant beast and the words of old man Tianji.

"You have passed the test of the oracle. Now, you have the power to control your own destiny." Luo Li's voice was soft and mysterious, as if carrying some kind of magic, making Lu Yuan's mind dazed.

"The power to control destiny?" Lu Yuan murmured to himself, his heart full of doubts.

"Yes," Luo Li nodded, "The power of the oracle has been integrated into your body. You will have supreme power, but you will also bear the responsibility of protecting this valley."

Guarding the valley? Lu Yuan had no interest in this responsibility. He just wanted to rescue his sister and live a peaceful life.

"I don't want to protect any valley," Lu Yuan said coldly, "I just want to save my sister."

A hint of disappointment flashed across Luo Li's eyes, but she quickly regained her composure. "The oracle's guidance is not a mandatory constraint. Your fate is ultimately determined by you."

She paused and continued, "As for your sister, she is trapped in the Netherworld, which is the most dangerous place in the world. Even you may not be able to escape unscathed."

The Abyss of the Netherworld? Lu Yuan's heart sank. He had never heard of this place.

"Tell me, how can I get to the Netherworld?" Lu Yuan's voice was cold and firm.

Luo Li looked at Lu Yuan, with a hint of admiration in her eyes. "Your courage is commendable, but courage alone is not enough. You need a stronger power to resist the erosion of the Netherworld Abyss."

She stretched out her slender jade finger and gently touched Lu Yuan's brow. "I will pass on some of the power of the Oracle Realm to you. I hope you can make good use of it."

A powerful energy surged into Lu Yuan's body, and he felt as if his body was about to explode. He clenched his teeth and tried hard to control the power.

After an unknown amount of time, the energy finally subsided. Lu Yuan felt that his strength had increased several times, and he could even feel the flow of the energy of the surrounding heaven and earth.

"Thank you." Lu Yuan said lightly. He didn't like the feeling of being given charity.

Luo Li smiled slightly, as if she saw through Lu Yuan's thoughts. "No need to thank me, this is what you deserve. Now, I can tell you how to get to the Netherworld."

She walked to the window and pointed to a mountain in the distance that towered into the clouds. "See that mountain? That's the entrance to the Netherworld."

Lu Yuan looked in the direction of Luo Li's finger, and saw that the mountain was covered by a thick layer of black fog, like the gate to hell. (End of this chapter)
