Cong Nanxue stood at the edge of that space, the surrounding air seed to have solidified, suffused with a suffocating atmosphere.
She slowly raised her hands, palms up, beginning to gather strength from within. The power flowed like a gentle stream, converging from all parts of her body and gradually forming a small, shimring light orb in her palms. The color of the orb constantly changed, sotis appearing as a deep blue like the night sky; sotis turning into a blazing red like burning flas.
As the power continued to gather, the orb grew larger and brighter. Beads of sweat appeared on Cong Nanxue's forehead, her body slightly trembling, clearly at her limit. But she gritted her teeth, enduring the discomfort of her body, and continued to increase the output of power.
"Ah!" Cong Nanxue let out a roar and fiercely hurled the light orb towards the space ahead. The orb shot forward like an arrow, with trendous power, instantly piercing through the seemingly impregnable space.
A bright light emanated from the perforated space, like the first ray of dawn before daybreak, illuminating the dark four-dinsional matrix of consciousness. The light was so dazzling that one could hardly look at it, as if it contained endless energy.
Li Baiyu and Shen Jingqi were trapped in another part of the matrix, bound by an invisible force, unable to move. The surroundings were eerie and terrifying, with strange sounds echoing intermittently, as if countless eyes were watching them in the darkness.
At that mont, the bright light illuminated the place where they were. Li Baiyu and Shen Jingqi felt a powerful force enveloping them, a force both warm and strong, like a pair of invisible hands gently caressing them, giving them comfort and strength.
Li Baiyu widened her eyes, trying to stand up, but realized her body was completely beyond her control, moving only under the guidance of the force. "I don't know, but this force seems to be guiding us in a certain direction," her voice carried a hint of excitent and anticipation; perhaps this was their opportunity to break through the predicant.
Their bodies began to fly uncontrollably towards the light, gaining speed. The scenery around them flashed by like lightning, presenting twisted spaces, bizarre creatures, and mysterious symbols. All of it felt both familiar and strange, like a nightmare, yet so real.
"Where are we headed?" Shen Jingqi shouted.
Li Baiyu shook her head, "I don't know, but I feel we're getting closer to the exit."
As they drew nearer to the light, it grew increasingly intense, stinging their eyes to the point they could barely keep them open. Yet, they did not falter, firmly flying towards the light.
Finally, they passed through the light, a stark brilliance causing them to shut their eyes. When they opened their eyes again, they found themselves back in the real world.
Looking at the familiar surroundings, their hearts filled with joy and gratitude. Sunlight bathed them warmly and comfortably; a gentle breeze carried floral scents. Everything felt incredibly intimate and real.
"We did it!" Shen Jingqi shouted excitedly, his face beaming with a smile as bright as sunlight. He looked at Li Baiyu and Cong Nanxue with admiration in his eyes. "Cong Nanxue, you were amazing! Without you, we surely wouldn't have made it."
Cong Nanxue smiled faintly, despite the fatigue on her face, her eyes revealed comfort and pride. "This wasn't just my achievent; it's the result of all our efforts combined." Her voice was gentle yet firm, providing a sense of imnse reassurance.
Li Baiyu also stepped forward, patting Shen Jingqi's shoulder, "Indeed, this is a victory for all of us. However, our mission isn't over; Li Yuanshin's four-dinsional consciousness space still threatens everyone's safety." Although they had erged from the four-dinsional matrix, the true crisis was not yet resolved.
Just then, Uncle Li, the cloaked man, and the Guardian appeared before them. Their bodies bore various wounds, evident of the hardships faced breaking through the four-dinsional space.
"Is everyone okay?" Uncle Li asked with concern, his eyes filled with worry.
Everyone shook their heads, indicating they were fine. "Uncle Li, what should we do now?" Shen Jingqi asked urgently, eager to imdiately dismantle Li Yuanshin's space and rid everyone of the crisis once and for all.
Uncle Li frowned, pondering for a mont, "Li Yuanshin's four-dinsional consciousness space is very powerful; to dismantle it, we must find its core. And that core is likely hidden in a Mysterious Land he created."
"A Mysterious Land? Where is it?" Shen Jingqi asked, his curiosity piqued.
Uncle Li shook his head, "I don't know exactly where it is, but we can find it through clues. As far as I know, according to Li Yuanshin's habits, he left so special markings when creating the four-dinsional space, and these markings might guide us to the location of the Mysterious Land."
"This is the last ti! Let's quickly find these markings," Shen Jingqi said excitedly, eager to launch into action.
Uncle Li nodded, "Alright, but everyone needs to be cautious. Li Yuanshin won't let us find the Mysterious Land easily; he will certainly set many traps and obstacles along the way."
Thus, everyone began to search the surroundings for the markings left by Li Yuanshin. They ticulously combed through every corner, leaving no detail unchecked. As ti ticked away, they yet failed to find any valuable clue.
"Could we be headed in the wrong direction?" Shen Jingqi began to grow impatient, his mood becoming agitated. "We've searched so long with nothing found; when will we find the Mysterious Land at this rate?"
Li Baiyu glanced at him, comfortingly, "Don't rush; searching for clues requires patience. Since Li Yuanshin left markings, he will let us find them; it's just a matter of ti."
Cong Nanxue also nodded in agreent, "Exactly, we mustn't give up due to temporary difficulties. Let's think carefully about where Li Yuanshin might have left the markings."
Everyone fell into contemplation, recalling all information related to Li Yuanshin. Suddenly, the cloaked man seed to have thought of sothing, a gleam flashed in his eyes. "I rember, Li Yuanshin once ntioned a place called 'Illusion Dream Forest.' He said that's where his inspiration originates; perhaps he left markings there."
"Illusion Dream Forest? Where is that?" Shen Jingqi asked curiously.
The cloaked man shook his head, "I'm not sure of the exact location, but I know it lies deep within this region, a very mysterious place. They say it's filled with illusions and dangers, seldom can anyone enter and erge safely."
"No matter how dangerous, we have to try," Li Baiyu said determinedly, "It's our only clue and can't be abandoned easily."
Everyone nodded in agreent, so they packed up their gear and set off toward the Illusion Dream Forest.
