Chapter 652: A Grape That Caused Trouble

Chapter 636: A Grape That Sparked Disaster

After leaving Tianji Peak, Fangcun and the others headed directly towards Tianchi.

Tianchi is located on the northern slope of Changbai Mountain, nestled in the caldera at the mountain's summit. In August, the area is still cold, and the biting wind carries a chill that penetrates one's bones.

When Fangcun arrived, there were already many people gathered around Tianchi. Several white-robed elders, their faces etched with the vicissitudes of time, were seated cross-legged on a flat rock by the lake. They exuded a deep, ancient aura.

Upon seeing Fangcun and the others, the elders slowly opened their eyes.

"Are you Fangcun from the Xuanmen?" one of the elders asked in a deep voice.

Fangcun bowed slightly and replied, "Greetings, elders. I am Fangcun."

The elder nodded and then spoke again, "The reason we have summoned everyone here today is about a matter of great importance. A few days ago, we discovered something unusual in Tianchi. The energy here is becoming increasingly unstable, and a spatial rift is slowly opening."

A spatial rift?

Hearing these words, everyone present was astonished. Spatial rifts were extremely rare occurrences and often connected to other dimensions. If a spatial rift were to open fully in Tianchi, it could lead to unpredictable and potentially dangerous consequences.

"Elder, what exactly is in this spatial rift?" a young man asked nervously.

The elder shook his head and said, "We don't know yet. However, we can feel a powerful and ominous presence emanating from within. We suspect it might be connected to the Demon Realm."

Demon Realm!

The word sent shivers down everyone's spines. The Demon Realm was a place of chaos and evil, home to countless powerful and malevolent creatures. If a passage to the Demon Realm were to open, it would be a catastrophe for the entire world.

"What can we do?" someone asked with a tremor in their voice.

The elder sighed and said, "We have tried to seal the rift, but our efforts have been futile. The power within is too strong. We need to gather all our strength and work together to prevent this disaster."

He then looked at Fangcun and said, "Fangcun, you are the most talented young generation in the Xuanmen. We hope you can lead us in this endeavor."

Fangcun was taken aback. He was just a junior, how could he lead such a crucial mission?

Seeing his hesitation, the elder continued, "You possess the power of the Taiji Diagram, which can balance yin and yang. This is essential in dealing with the unstable energy of the rift."

Fangcun understood the gravity of the situation. He knew he couldn't refuse.

"I will do my best," he said resolutely.

Under the guidance of the elders, Fangcun and the others began to work together to seal the spatial rift. They used various spells and formations, channeling their energy into the rift, hoping to stabilize it.

The process was arduous and dangerous. The energy fluctuations from the rift were intense, and at times, it felt like they were being pulled into a swirling vortex.

Despite the challenges, they persevered. They knew that the fate of their world depended on their success.

As they continued their efforts, a strange energy began to emanate from the rift. It was a dark, oppressive energy that sent a chill down their spines.

Suddenly, a figure emerged from the rift. It was a grotesque creature with horns and sharp claws, its eyes glowing with malevolence.

"Demons!" someone cried out in fear.

The creature let out a terrifying roar and lunged towards them.

A fierce battle ensued. Fangcun and the others fought bravely, using their skills and powers to defend themselves.

The demon was powerful, but they were not alone. They had each other, and they had the guidance of the elders.

After a long and arduous fight, they managed to defeat the demon and push it back into the rift.

However, their victory was short-lived. More and more demons began to emerge from the rift, and the battle intensified.

Fangcun knew they couldn't win this fight by simply repelling the demons. They needed to seal the rift completely.

He consulted with the elders, and together, they devised a plan. They would use the combined power of the Taiji Diagram and their formations to create a powerful seal.

With renewed determination, they channeled all their energy into the seal. The Taiji Diagram glowed brightly, emitting a powerful aura of balance and harmony.

The seal began to close the rift, slowly but surely. The demons roared in frustration as they were being pushed back.

Finally, with a blinding flash of light, the rift closed completely. The dark energy dissipated, and the air returned to normal.

Everyone collapsed to the ground, exhausted but relieved. They had saved their world from a potential catastrophe.

However, they knew this was just the beginning. The Demon Realm was still out there, and they had to be prepared for future threats.

Fangcun looked at the elders, who nodded at him with approval. He had proven himself to be a capable leader and a true hero.

He knew that his journey was far from over. He had to continue to cultivate his powers and protect his world from the forces of evil.
