The Legend of the Princess' Counterattack

Chapter 564 New Mission

Above Qinglan Sect, under the clear blue sky after the blood mist dissipated, Yun Yao and Chu Mochen stood side by side. The breeze blew gently, ruffling their hair and clothes, but their moods were far less peaceful than on the surface. Yun Yao held Chu Mochen's hand tightly, and the warmth from her palm seemed to be the only comfort for each other at this moment. They looked up together and looked at the starry sky of the earth gradually emerging above the ancient sea.

The stars twinkled, as if telling of endless past events and unknown futures. Yun Yao's gaze passed through the vast galaxy, as if traveling through time and space, back to the laboratory on Earth. In that slightly cold white space, various precision instruments flashed indicator lights. The mother, wearing a white coat, stared intently at the core components of the quantum shuttle, her eyes full of determination and resoluteness. At that time, she often said to Xiao Yao: "Xiao Yao, the most powerful energy in the universe has never been spiritual power or technology, but the obsession of the human heart." This sentence was like a brand, deeply engraved in Yun Yao's heart.

At this moment, a sharp alarm suddenly sounded in Yun Yao's mind, breaking the brief silence. Then the mechanical and cold voice of the system came: [Due to the host's fusion of the world anchor point, a crack appeared in the space-time channel between the earth and the cultivation world. In three months, the "great catastrophe of heaven and earth" will come, and the energy of the two worlds will erode each other.] Then, the prompt of the system task update appeared in front of her: [Collect the five scattered quantum cores, repair the space-time channel, reward: unlock the "Jade Slip of Creation" left by her mother]

Yun Yao's face instantly became solemn. She knew very well the difficulty of this task. Chu Mochen, who was standing by, noticed her mood change and gently squeezed her hand, giving her silent support. "Three months, we must act as soon as possible." Yun Yao frowned slightly, with a firm look in her eyes.

"No matter what the road ahead holds, I will face it with you." Chu Mochen's voice was low and powerful, like a reassurance to Yun Yao.

The two returned to the Qinglan Sect's meeting hall. The atmosphere in the room was depressing and heavy. After hearing the news, the head master and the elders all looked worried. The head master stroked his beard and sighed: "This great catastrophe of heaven and earth concerns the survival of the two worlds. My Qinglan Sect will definitely help with all its strength. But this quantum core is mysterious and unpredictable. Where should we start looking for it?"

Yun Yao took a deep breath and told everyone what she had seen and heard in the Southern Desolate Ancient Sea, including the huge clam shells with core components floating on them, and the hundreds of cultivators' corpses surrounding them. The people fell into deep thought after hearing this.

An elder who was good at deduction counted with his fingers, frowning: "According to my calculations, since this quantum core is related to the Spacetime Administration, the place where it is scattered must be a place where the spacetime spiritual power is disordered. Such places are often accompanied by powerful prohibitions and protective forces, and are full of dangers."

“No matter how dangerous it is, we have to go.” Yun Yao clenched her fists. “This is not only about you and me, but also about countless lives in the two worlds.”

In the following days, Yun Yao and Chu Mochen studied ancient books day and night, trying to find clues about the quantum core from those yellowed pages. They flipped through the Qinglan Sect's hundreds of years of collection, and even some banned secret volumes. The hard work paid off, and finally found a vague clue in an ancient fragment: "In the extreme north ice field, at the top of the cold sky, ice spirits gather and the core is hidden."

"It seems we have to head to the Arctic ice field." A trace of determination flashed in Yun Yao's eyes.

The Arctic ice field is covered with ice and snow all year round, and the howling wind cuts the skin like a sharp blade. Yun Yao and Chu Mochen wrapped in thick cotton clothes stepped into this icy and snowy land. As soon as they entered, they felt a biting cold coming towards them, and the circulation of spiritual power in their bodies seemed to slow down.

"Be careful, the fluctuation of spiritual energy here is very wrong." Chu Mochen vigilantly clenched the sword in his hand. The sword body trembled slightly, as if responding to this dangerous environment.

Not long after they started walking, they encountered a group of direwolves. These wolves were covered with long white hair, their eyes flashed with a faint blue light, and they ran very fast in the snow. The wolf king, who was leading the group, was huge, and the white air he exhaled instantly condensed into ice in the air. He howled to the sky, and led the group of wolves to pounce on Yun Yao and the others.

Yun Yao quickly drew out the Xuanbing Sword, and the sword flashed with cold light, blending into the ice and snow. She silently recited the sword formula, injected spiritual power into the sword, and swung out sharp sword energy, and wherever it went, ice and snow flew. Chu Mochen held the Quantum Sword, and the sword flashed with blue light. Every time he stabbed, he brought powerful force. Once the direwolf approached, it was injured by the sword energy and let out bursts of wailing.

After a hard fight, they finally repelled the direwolf. But before they could catch their breath, a huge ice wall suddenly appeared in front of them, with strange runes flashing on it, emitting a powerful forbidden force.

"This rune seems to be related to the quantum core." Yun Yao approached the ice wall and carefully observed the runes, trying to find a way to crack them. She mobilized the data spiritual roots in her body, a binary light flashed in her eyes, and various algorithms ran rapidly in her mind.

"Let me help you." Chu Mochen walked to her side and input spiritual power into her body. The two of them worked together to try to crack the runes with spiritual power and data power.

Just when the rune was about to be cracked, the ice wall suddenly vibrated violently, and a powerful cold spirit surged out from it. It looked like a ghost, emitting an extremely cold air all over its body, and swept towards Yun Yao and the others.

Yun Yao and Chu Mochen looked at each other and attacked at the same time without hesitation. Yun Yao used the Mysterious Ice Sword to cast ice spells to counter the coldness of the Frost Sky Spirit. Chu Mochen used the Quantum Sword to slash out sword shadows, trying to disrupt the Frost Sky Spirit's attack rhythm.

During the fierce battle, Yun Yao suddenly discovered a node with a faint light at the core of the Frost Sky Spirit. She suddenly had an idea and transformed her data spiritual root into a data stream, stabbing it accurately at the node. The Frost Sky Spirit let out a shrill scream and dissipated in an instant, and the ice wall collapsed.

Behind the ice wall, an object emitting blue light was suspended in the air. It was the second quantum core they had been looking for. Yun Yao carefully reached out her hand and held it. In an instant, a powerful energy surged into her body, resonating with her spiritual roots.

"Great, we found a piece." Chu Mochen showed a relieved smile on his face.

However, before they could be happy for too long, the system suddenly sounded the alarm again: [The remnants of the Fallen Cult are detected approaching, goal: to seize the quantum core]

"Damn, they come so quickly." Yun Yao's eyes flashed. She put the quantum core into the storage ring and stood back to back with Chu Mochen, looking around vigilantly.

Soon, a group of remnants of the Fallen Cult dressed in black robes appeared, their eyes full of madness and greed. The leader laughed wildly: "Yun Yao, hand over the quantum core, today is your death!" As he spoke, he waved his weapon and attacked Yun Yao and the others.

Yun Yao and Chu Mochen were not afraid and went forward. Yun Yao used the Data Sword Domain, and the sword energy composed of codes crisscrossed and neutralized the enemy's attacks one by one. Chu Mochen used the powerful swordsmanship of the Undisaster Sword Cultivator, and his sword came out like a dragon, and each sword was filled with fierce killing intent.

During the battle, Yun Yao discovered that these remnants of the Fallen Cult seemed to have been blessed by some dark power, and their strength was stronger than before. Their attacks carried a strange corrosive force, and once hit, the spiritual power would quickly dissipate.

"We can't drag it on any longer, let's make it quick and decisive." Yun Yao shouted, cooperating more tacitly with Chu Mochen. She used the rhythm of "Rebirth" to guide her spiritual power, disrupting the enemy's mind, and Chu Mochen took the opportunity to launch a fatal attack.

After a thrilling battle, they finally repelled all the remnants of the Fallen Angels. But both of them were injured to varying degrees. A deep wound was cut on Chu Mochen's shoulder, and his clothes were stained with blood. Yun Yao's spiritual power was also mostly consumed, and her face was slightly pale.

"Let's find a place to heal first." Chu Mochen looked at Yun Yao with heartache and helped her to a cave.

In the cave, Yun Yao and Chu Mochen sat cross-legged, practicing Qigong to heal their wounds. With the nourishment of spiritual power, their wounds gradually healed, and their spiritual power also slowly recovered.

“Next, there are three more quantum cores. I don’t know what kind of difficulties and obstacles we will encounter.” Yun Yao sighed slightly, but there was determination in her eyes.

"As long as we work together, we will be able to overcome the difficulties." Chu Mochen held her hand and gave her strength.

After their injuries were healed, Yun Yao and the others continued their journey. Following the clues, they headed to the mysterious Misty Forest. This forest is shrouded in fog all year round, with extremely low visibility, and filled with all kinds of psychedelic miasma. If you are not careful, you will lose your mind.

After entering the forest, Yun Yao and Chu Mochen moved forward cautiously. They used their spiritual power to protect their bodies and resist the erosion of the miasma. Suddenly, Yun Yao felt empty under her feet, as if she had stepped on a trap. In an instant, countless vines emerged from the surroundings and entangled them.

"Be careful!" Chu Mochen swung his sword to cut off the vines, but the vines continued to come. Yun Yao mobilized the data spirit root, trying to analyze the growth pattern of the vines and find a way to crack it.

At this moment, a melodious flute sound came from the fog, the sound was like a ghost, making people's minds gradually dazed. Yun Yao gritted her teeth to calm her mind, she realized that it was the guardian spirit in the forest that was causing trouble.

"Break the sound with sound." Yun Yao recalled the music theory her mother had taught her. She took out a jade flute and played a tune that opposed it. The sounds of the flute intertwined with each other, colliding in the air and creating fierce sparks.

Chu Mochen took this opportunity to cut the vines with all his strength and open up a path. The two followed the source of the flute sound and finally found an ancient tree hole deep in the forest. A faint light flickered in the tree hole, and the third quantum core was inside.

However, the guardian spirit would not let them take the core so easily. It transformed into a huge tree man, waving thick branches and launching a fierce attack on Yun Yao and the others.

Yun Yao and Chu Mochen joined forces to fight the enemy. Yun Yao used the Xuanbing Sword to freeze the branches of the tree man, while Chu Mochen used the sword to cut off its branches. In the fierce battle, Yun Yao discovered that the tree man's weakness was at its roots, where there was an energy core that controlled its actions.

Yun Yao and Chu Mochen cooperated with each other. She cast a spell to contain the tree man's attack, while Chu Mochen took the opportunity to sneak into the ground and pierce the energy core with a sword. The tree man roared, fell down with a bang, and turned into a pile of ashes.

Yun Yao successfully took away the quantum core. At this time, the deadline for the catastrophe of heaven and earth was getting closer and closer, and their steps became more and more hurried.

Next, they followed the clues to the scorching desert. The sun was scorching in the desert, the high temperature made the earth dry and cracked, and the sand was scorching. Yun Yao and Chu Mochen walked forward in the scorching heat, their clothes were soaked with sweat, and the water in their bodies was quickly lost.

Deep in the desert, they found an ancient ruin. The door of the ruin was closed, and there were complex runes engraved on the door, emitting a powerful forbidden power. Yun Yao and Chu Mochen tried to crack the runes, but the difficulty of this rune was far beyond imagination, and it seemed to have integrated many ancient forbidden techniques.

Just when they were in trouble, Yun Yao suddenly remembered some information about ancient prohibitions that she had seen at the Administration Center. She closed her eyes, recalled the knowledge, and tried to crack the runes with a new method.

After a long period of effort, the rune finally loosened and the door slowly opened. A wave of heat rushed over, and inside was a huge lava pool. In the lava pool, the fourth quantum core was looming.

However, it was not easy to take the core. Huge pillars of fire would occasionally gushed out of the lava pool, and there were fire spirits guarding it. Yun Yao and Chu Mochen approached cautiously, and as soon as they approached, they were attacked by the fire spirits.

Yun Yao used ice magic to resist the high temperature and fire spirits' attacks, while Chu Mochen used his sword to kill the fire spirits. However, the fire spirits kept coming, and they gradually fell into a difficult battle.

At the critical moment, Yun Yao had an idea. She merged the data spiritual root with the ice spiritual power to create a special ice spiritual power. This power can both resist high temperatures and restrain the fire spirit.

With the help of the Ice Spirit, they finally approached the quantum core. Yun Yao reached out to take it, and the moment her fingertips touched the core, a strong heat wave hit her, almost knocking her over. Chu Mochen quickly supported her, and the two worked together to take the core into their pockets.

At this time, they have found four quantum cores, with only the last one left. But time is running out, the shadow of the catastrophe of heaven and earth looms over the two worlds, and the atmosphere becomes increasingly tense.

Yun Yao and Chu Mochen returned to Qinglan Sect. After a short rest, they began to study the clues of the last quantum core. Ancient books record: "The chaotic void, the source of the stars, the core is hidden, and there are thousands of dangers and difficulties."

"It seems that the last core is in the Chaos Void." Yun Yao frowned. She knew that the Chaos Void was one of the most dangerous places, where time and space were disordered and it was full of unknown dangers and powerful beasts.

"We have to go no matter how dangerous it is." Chu Mochen's eyes were firm. He held Yun Yao's hand tightly, as if he wanted to pass all his courage to her.

The two of them were fully prepared and stepped into the chaotic void. As soon as they entered, they were caught in the turbulence of time and space, and their bodies drifted around uncontrollably. Yun Yao hugged Chu Mochen tightly, trying to stabilize her body with spiritual power, but the power of the turbulence was too strong.

As they struggled, a huge void beast pounced towards them. This beast was shaped like a dragon, surrounded by black mist, and spewed black lightning from its mouth.

Yun Yao and Chu Mochen quickly separated, each using their own unique skills to respond. Yun Yao used the Data Sword Domain to build a defensive barrier to resist the lightning attack, while using the Mysterious Ice Sword to find the weakness of the beast. Chu Mochen used the powerful sword intent of the Undisaster Sword to slash at the vital point of the beast.

During the fierce battle, Yun Yao discovered that there was an energy vortex between the beast's eyebrows, which seemed to be its core. She and Chu Mochen cooperated with each other, using fierce attacks to divert the beast's attention, and then took the opportunity to stab it at the center of its eyebrows.

The beast let out an earth-shattering scream and fell to the ground. Where it fell, the last quantum core slowly rose. Yun Yao took a deep breath, stretched out her hand, and held the last core.

Instantly, the five quantum cores echoed each other, emitting dazzling light. Yun Yao and Chu Mochen knew that the next step was the critical moment to repair the space-time channel. With full expectations and firm beliefs, they rushed towards the space-time rift. The ultimate battle that would determine the fate of the two worlds was about to begin...
