Young White Horse: I, Ye Dingzhi, offer sacrifice to the Banner of Ten Thousand Souls.

"Finally, we've dealt with this white tiger." Ye Dingzhi breathed a sigh of relief.

The boy hurriedly ran into the bushes and found the spirit flower. He looked at Ye Dingzhi and the others gratefully: "Thank you for helping me find the spirit flower."

"Now you can take us to the temple, right?" Ye Dingzhi said.

The boy nodded: "Come with me."

They continued walking through the forest for a while until they finally came across an ancient temple. The temple's architectural style was quite peculiar, with its walls covered in various mysterious runes and patterns.

"This is the temple, but there may be many dangers inside, so please be careful," the boy warned.

Ye Dingzhi and the others cautiously entered the temple. A mysterious atmosphere permeated the temple, and the light was very dim, with only a few faint lights flickering.

They continued down the corridor when suddenly they heard heavy footsteps. A massive stone guardian appeared before them. The guardian held a huge stone axe, and its eyes gleamed red.

“Another guardian,” Ye Dingzhi muttered to himself.

Without a word, the stone statue guard charged straight at Ye Dingzhi and the others. It raised its stone axe and swung it down at Ye Dingzhi, who was at the front. Ye Dingzhi quickly jumped back, the axe striking the ground and kicking up a cloud of dust.

A skilled fighter behind Ye Dingzhi attempted to attack the stone statue guardian from the side, thrusting his longsword towards the guardian's waist. However, the stone statue guardian's body was incredibly hard; the sword struck it, producing only a crisp sound without leaving a mark.

"The defenses of this stone statue are incredibly strong," the expert said, frowning.

Ye Dingzhi looked at the stone statue guardian, pondering a countermeasure. He discovered that although the stone statue guardian moved slowly, it possessed immense strength, and its joints seemed to be its weak points.

He charged at the stone statue guardian, his demonic sword aimed at its knee joint. The stone statue guardian tried to dodge, but it was too slow. The demonic sword struck its knee joint, and the stone statue guardian's body swayed slightly.

Ye Dingzhi pressed his advantage, his demonic sword striking the stone statue's other joints repeatedly. The stone statue's movements became even slower; it angrily swung its stone axe, trying to attack Ye Dingzhi.

Other experts joined the attack, focusing their assault on the stone statue's joints. After a fierce battle, the stone statue's joints were almost completely destroyed, and it finally collapsed onto the ground, turning into a pile of rubble.

“Let’s keep going,” Ye Dingzhi said.

They continued deeper into the temple, encountering more traps and mechanisms. There were pits filled with sharp spikes, and crossbow bolts shooting from the walls. Ye Dingzhi and his companions, relying on their agility and experience, successfully avoided these traps.

Deep within the temple, they discovered a massive stone door. The door was covered in intricate runes and radiated powerful energy.

"This stone door looks difficult to open," said one of the experts.

Ye Dingzhi stepped forward and carefully examined the runes on the stone door. He discovered that these runes seemed to be an ancient seal, and the puzzle of the runes needed to be solved to open the stone door.

He began to study the runes, and after some thought, he seemed to have found some clues. Following his own understanding, he began to touch the runes on the stone gate, adjusting their order.

The other experts watched nervously from the sidelines, fearing that something unexpected might happen.

As Ye Dingzhi continued to adjust the runes, the power fluctuations on the stone gate grew stronger and stronger. Suddenly, the stone gate emitted a dazzling light and then slowly opened.

Behind the stone gate was a spacious hall, and in the very center of the hall was a stone platform on which sat a box emitting a mysterious light.

“That might be what we’re looking for,” Ye Dingzhi said.

He walked towards the stone platform, and just as he was about to reach it, a figure suddenly leaped out from a corner of the hall. This figure was completely shrouded in a black robe, obscuring its face.

"Do you think you can get the treasure so easily?" the man in black said coldly.

Ye Dingzhi stopped in his tracks: "Who are you? Why are you stopping us?"

The man in black chuckled: "I am the last guardian of this temple. As long as I am here, you will not be able to take the treasure."

With that, the man in black robes produced a black scythe and charged towards Ye Dingzhi.

Ye Dingzhi hurriedly drew his demonic sword and engaged the black-robed man in battle. The black-robed man's scythe attacks were extremely fast, and each strike carried a strange power. Ye Dingzhi felt his true energy being eroded by that strange power when it came into contact with the black-robed man's weapon.

He dared not be careless and focused intently on dealing with the black-robed man's attacks. Suddenly, the black-robed man turned around, his scythe sweeping towards Ye Dingzhi's waist. Ye Dingzhi pushed off the ground with both feet, leaping high into the air and avoiding the attack.

The man in black robes pressed his attack, his body suddenly transforming into a black shadow as he charged towards Ye Dingzhi in mid-air. Unable to dodge in mid-air, Ye Dingzhi could only hold his demonic sword horizontally in front of him, preparing to take the blow head-on.

The black-robed man's scythe clashed with Ye Dingzhi's demonic sword, producing a piercing sound. Ye Dingzhi felt a tremendous force emanating from the sword, and his body was thrown backward.

He adjusted his posture in mid-air and landed steadily on the ground. He knew that this black-robed man was not easy to deal with, so he had to change his tactics.

He began to attack, unleashing streaks of sword energy from his demonic sword at the black-robed man. The black-robed man swung his scythe, deflecting each strike. Then he charged towards Ye Dingzhi, his scythe tracing black arcs through the air.

Ye Dingzhi deliberately created an opening, letting the black-robed man's scythe slash towards his shoulder. The black-robed man fell for the trap and swung his scythe with force. Just as the scythe was about to strike him, Ye Dingzhi turned to the left, simultaneously thrusting his demonic sword towards the black-robed man's arm.

The man in black robes hurriedly withdrew his arm, but was still slashed by Ye Dingzhi's demonic sword. The man in black robes winced in pain, his eyes growing even more ferocious.

"How dare you hurt me! Today you will all die here!" the man in black robes roared.

He gripped the scythe with both hands, chanting incantations. Suddenly, black flames erupted from his scythe, flames seemingly containing a powerful destructive force.

The man in black robes charged at Ye Dingzhi again, his scythe wreathed in black flames, its attack range now larger. Ye Dingzhi dared not underestimate him; he circulated his true energy, and his demonic sword emitted a dazzling light.

The two clashed again, this time with even greater intensity. Black flames and the light of the demonic sword intertwined, distorting the surrounding air with their powerful force.

Ye Dingzhi felt his strength gradually being depleted, and he needed to end the battle as soon as possible. He noticed that when the black-robed man attacked with all his might, a slight opening would appear on his back.

Taking advantage of the moment when the black-robed man leaned forward slightly after an attack, he flashed and appeared behind him. The demonic sword pierced towards the black-robed man's back.

The man in black robes sensed the danger behind him, but it was too late to dodge. The demonic sword from the demonic cauldron pierced his back, and he let out a scream.

He turned around, intending to attack Ye Dingzhi again, but his strength was far less than before. Ye Dingzhi pressed his advantage, unleashing a series of attacks with his demonic sword, ultimately defeating the black-robed man completely. The black-robed man collapsed to the ground, turning into a wisp of black smoke and disappearing.

Ye Dingzhi walked to the stone platform and picked up the box that emitted a mysterious light. He opened the box and saw a key inside that emitted a golden light.

“This should be the second key we’re looking for,” Ye Dingzhi said.

The group was overjoyed; they had found two keys, bringing them one step closer to unlocking the entrance to that mysterious world (Channo's).

“Now all we need to do is find the last key,” said one of the experts.

Ye Dingzhi looked at the two keys in his hand and pondered for a moment: "We need to find clues about the last key again, but before that, let's leave this temple."

They left the temple with the key. After the boy bid them farewell, Ye Dingzhi and the others embarked on their journey to find the last key.

They gathered information in various places, visiting many ancient ruins and mysterious sects. Along the way, they encountered all sorts of challenges and dangers, but overcame them all through their own strength and wisdom.

One day, they came to a valley shrouded in mist. A mysterious aura permeated the valley, as if it concealed countless secrets.

“This valley looks very unusual; perhaps it holds clues about the last key,” Ye Dingzhi said.

They entered the valley and discovered many peculiar buildings that resembled ancient palaces but possessed unique styles.

As they approached one of the palaces, a group of people dressed in white robes suddenly emerged from it. Their eyes were filled with wariness.

"Who are you? Why have you trespassed into our valley?" one of the men, who appeared to be the leader, asked.

Ye Dingzhi said, "We've come here to find something. We're looking for a key, and this key is very important to us. We heard that this valley might have clues about the key, so we've come to explore."

The leader frowned slightly: "There are indeed many secrets in our valley, but we will not easily tell these secrets to outsiders."

Ye Dingzhi said, "We have no ill intentions. If you can provide any clues, we will be extremely grateful."

The leader thought for a moment and said, "If you want to get any clues, you must pass our test."

"What kind of test?" Ye Dingzhi asked.

The leader said, “There is a trial tower in our valley, with many levels, each with different challenges. If you can successfully pass the trial tower, we will tell you about the key.”

Ye Dingzhi glanced at the experts around him, then nodded: "Alright, we accept this test."

The leader led Ye Dingzhi and the others to the Trial Tower. The Trial Tower soared into the clouds, its body emitting a faint light.

"You may go in now. Good luck," the leader said.

Ye Dingzhi and the others entered the Trial Tower. The first floor was a large space, filled with various mechanisms and traps. There were spinning blades and flames spewing from the ground.

Ye Dingzhi took the lead, carefully avoiding the spinning blades while warning those behind him to watch out for the fire traps beneath their feet.

Suddenly, a huge iron ball rolled out from the passageway beside them, hurtling towards them. Ye Dingzhi's eyes sharpened. He aimed at the direction the ball was rolling, then leaped onto it. Once he was firmly on the ball, he used its momentum to rush towards the exit ahead.

Other experts followed suit, either dodging the iron ball or jumping onto it like Ye Dingzhi, heading towards the exit.

Just as they were about to reach the exit, an electric fence suddenly appeared there. Ye Dingzhi quickly jumped off the iron ball and examined the fence, discovering some weak points.

He channeled his inner energy, thrusting the demonic sword towards the weakest point of the electric grid. Sparks flew as the sword made contact. After several attacks, Ye Dingzhi successfully destroyed the grid, and they passed the first level without incident.

The second level is a space filled with all sorts of strange creatures. These creatures have different shapes and sizes; some look like giant insects, and others look like winged (cdbj) lizards.

As soon as they entered the second level, the creatures attacked them. Ye Dingzhi wielded his demonic sword, fighting a giant insect. The insect's mouth was extremely sharp, and it kept biting at Ye Dingzhi. Each swing of Ye Dingzhi's demonic sword left a wound on the insect's body, but the insect seemed unaffected by the pain and continued its frenzied attack.

The lizard flew nimbly through the air, occasionally swooping down to attack the expert. The expert, wielding a long sword, kept his eyes fixed on the lizard, constantly dodging its attacks.

"Hmph, this beast is quite agile," the expert said through gritted teeth.

The lizard swooped down again, its sharp claws outstretched, aiming for the expert. The expert dodged to the side, simultaneously thrusting his longsword towards the lizard's belly. The lizard reacted with lightning speed, flapping its wings and instantly rising into the air, avoiding the expert's attack.

"Don't let it get away!" the expert shouted, then leaped into the air and chased after the lizard.

Elsewhere, Ye Dingzhi's battle with the giant insect had also reached a fever pitch. The insect's exoskeleton was incredibly hard; Ye Dingzhi's demonic sword could only leave shallow marks when it struck it.

"Looks like we need to think of a solution," Ye Dingzhi said, frowning.

The insect suddenly spread its wings and swooped down on Ye Dingzhi, simultaneously spitting out a stream of green liquid. Ye Dingzhi quickly dodged to the side, the liquid landing on the ground with a sizzling, corrosive sound.

"That was close!" Ye Dingzhi thought to himself.

He observed the insects' movements and noticed that they would lower their heads slightly when attacking. He decided to seize this opportunity.

Ye Dingzhi deliberately created an opening, letting the insect rush towards him. As the insect got close, he suddenly flashed around to the insect's side, and then forcefully thrust the demonic sword towards the insect's head.

The insect had no time to dodge; the demonic sword pierced its head accurately. The insect let out a scream, struggled a few times, and then collapsed to the ground, motionless.

After dealing with the insects, Ye Dingzhi looked at the other experts who were fighting. He found that everyone was struggling; the strange creatures were numerous and quite powerful.

"Everyone, concentrate your efforts and defeat them one by one!" Ye Dingzhi shouted.

Upon hearing Ye Dingzhi's words, the experts began to coordinate their efforts. They formed groups of several and worked together to deal with the strange creature.

A group of skilled fighters are battling a giant spider. The spider's silk is extremely sticky, and once you get entangled in it, it's very difficult to escape.

"Watch out for its spider silk!" a skilled warrior warned.

They carefully avoided the spider silk, searching for an opportunity to attack. Suddenly, the spider pounced on one of the skilled fighters, who hurriedly retreated, but his foot was still entangled in the silk.

"Help me!" the expert shouted.

Other experts immediately rushed over, used their weapons to cut the spider silk, and rescued him.

"Attack its eyes together!" another expert shouted.

They concentrated their firepower, attacking the spider's eyes. The spider frantically swung its claws, trying to defend itself. But under the combined assault, the spider's eyes were finally pierced; it writhed in agony before collapsing to the ground.

After a fierce battle, they finally eliminated all the strange creatures on the second level. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, but they had also exhausted a lot of energy.

“Let’s keep going,” Ye Dingzhi said.

They arrived at the third level. The third level was a space filled with mist, making it impossible to see their surroundings.

"Be careful, there might be something wrong with the fog here," Ye Dingzhi warned.

They moved forward cautiously when suddenly a group of figures rushed out of the mist. These figures were extremely fast, and their faces were obscured.

"What is that?" a master asked in surprise.

These figures instantly rushed in front of them and launched an attack. Ye Dingzhi hurriedly swung his demonic sword to defend himself, discovering that the figures' attacks were extremely fierce and powerful.

"Everyone, be careful!" Ye Dingzhi shouted.

They engaged in a fierce battle with these figures. During the battle, they discovered that these figures seemed to have no physical form, and ordinary attacks were not very effective against them.

"What should we do?" a master said anxiously.

Ye Dingzhi pondered for a moment, then said, "Let's use our true energy to attack and see if it has any effect."

Everyone began circulating their inner energy, unleashing attacks formed from it towards the figures. Sure enough, the inner energy attacks were somewhat effective against these figures.

They launched continuous attacks with their true energy, gradually gaining the upper hand. However, these figures were numerous and kept emerging from the mist, making the battle extremely difficult.

“This can’t go on. We need to find the source of these figures,” Ye Dingzhi said.

He began to observe the surrounding fog and noticed that it seemed to be flowing in one direction. He decided to follow the direction of the fog's flow to see if he could find its source.

They struggled forward through the fog, constantly battling the figures. After traveling for a while, they found the fog growing thicker and the surrounding pressure increasing.

“Your Majesty, it feels very dangerous here,” a skilled warrior said.

Ye Dingzhi nodded: "But we have no way back, we can only move forward."

Suddenly, a colossal figure emerged from the mist. This figure was many times larger than the previous ones and exuded a powerful aura.
