Soul travels through the world of immortality

After the thrilling, life-and-death fierce battle, the wounded and exhausted Li Mingyang, Lily, and the seriously injured Ayun, after careful consideration, resolutely made an important decision - to stay away from this land full of right and wrong and danger, and find a place that can ensure safety, so that the seriously injured Ayun can receive careful care and treatment.

So, they supported each other and set out on this difficult journey with an uncertain future. Along the way, they cut through the lush, dense and ancient forest that barely let in a ray of sunlight. The forest was filled with damp mist, and thick rotten leaves piled up under their feet. From time to time, all kinds of strange insects and small animals scurried past their feet, making tiny and creepy sounds. However, they did not stop, but gritted their teeth and moved forward step by step.

After finally walking out of the forest, they saw a wide river with turbulent waves and fast currents. The river roared and splashed high on the rocks on the shore, as if a ferocious beast was baring its fangs and claws. Faced with this natural barrier, the three did not retreat. Li Mingyang was the first to roll up his trouser legs and carefully test the depth and flow rate of the water. After confirming that it was safe, he turned around and encouraged Lily and Ayun to follow closely. In this way, they held hands and struggled forward in the icy cold river water. They were almost knocked down by the rapids several times, but they relied on their tenacious perseverance and support for each other to successfully cross this dangerous river.

After many hardships, they finally arrived at a mysterious valley that they had never set foot in before. When they stepped into the valley, they were instantly shocked by the beautiful scenery in front of them: surrounded by green mountains and shaded by green trees; clear springs in the mountains flowed, winding down like silver threads; the air was filled with a fresh and fragrant scent, which was the intoxicating fragrance of blooming flowers; the birds on the branches sang happily, as if welcoming the arrival of these distant visitors. The whole valley was like a peaceful, beautiful landscape painting, which made people intoxicated and felt as if they were in a fairyland on earth.

Just as they were struggling to find a suitable place to set up camp in the deep, quiet, foggy valley, suddenly, a creepy roar broke the peace. The sound seemed to come from an ancient beast, shaking the entire valley. Along with the roar, the branches and leaves in the forest rustled, and a huge figure rushed over like lightning.

In the blink of an eye, a huge golden beast suddenly jumped out from the towering treetops and landed heavily in front of the three people, splashing a cloud of dust. This beast has a strong and powerful body like a lion, but unlike ordinary lions, it has a pair of broad and hard wings on its back, which are shaped like the wings of an eagle soaring in the sky; in addition, its whole body is tightly covered with a layer of golden scales that shimmer with dazzling light, and each scale exudes a mysterious and powerful aura; the most eye-catching thing is its eyes, which are like two balls of blazing flames, revealing endless ferocity and majesty.

"What kind of monster is this?" Ah Yun's face turned pale. He tightly covered his bleeding wound and stared at the huge monster in front of him with terrified eyes. He had never seen such a terrifying creature before, and a strong sense of fear and uneasiness rose in his heart.

Li Mingyang, who was standing nearby, was relatively calm. He took a deep breath and slowly said, "Don't panic, everyone. This is an extremely rare and powerful golden-winged lion king. According to ancient legends, this kind of demon pet will only submit to warriors who truly possess courage and strength."

Before he finished speaking, the Golden Winged Lion King opened his bloody mouth again and let out a thunderous roar. The roar was like thunder, shaking the surrounding rocks slightly. Obviously, it had issued a ruthless challenge to the three humans. Li Mingyang knew that if they could not successfully defeat this ferocious Golden Winged Lion King and gain its recognition, then it would be difficult for them to walk out of the valley alive today.

"We must not retreat!" Li Mingyang's eyes were like torches, and his tone was as firm as steel, as if no difficulties or obstacles could shake his determination. He tightly grasped the ancient sword in his hand, leaned forward slightly, took a step forward without hesitation, and stood firmly in front of everyone.

This step not only showed his fearless courage, but also showed his strong desire and confidence in successfully conquering the Golden Winged Lion King. Because he knew that if he could successfully conquer this powerful being, it would undoubtedly become an extremely powerful help for their entire team.

However, Li Mingyang did not launch an attack rashly as others imagined. Instead, he closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and slowly calmed his slightly excited mood. Then, he concentrated his mind and tried to use his unique ability to establish a spiritual connection with the Golden Winged Lion King.

Time passed by, and the atmosphere around was extremely tense. Everyone held their breath and stared at Li Mingyang and the Golden Winged Lion King, afraid of missing any subtle changes. And just as everyone was anxiously waiting, a miracle happened - the eyes of the Golden Winged Lion King, which was originally ferocious and full of hostility, gradually softened. Its golden eyes no longer flashed with cold light, but were replaced by a hint of warmth and curiosity. Obviously, it had felt the pure kindness and unwavering belief in justice in Li Mingyang's heart.

At this critical moment, Lily and Ayun rushed in like two lightning bolts and threw themselves into the communication with the Golden Winged Lion King without hesitation.

Lily opened her red lips and sang an ancient and mysterious ballad. The melody was like the sound of nature, floating in the air. Her singing seemed to contain endless vitality, and every note conveyed her love for nature and praise for life.

Ah Yun waved the staff in his hand, the tip of the staff flashed with brilliant light, he chanted something, and cast a magical spell. With his movements, the air around him seemed to become lively, and the breeze blew gently, bringing a hint of fresh air.

Li Mingyang still stood there quietly, staring at the Golden Winged Lion King in front of him with a firm and kind look. He had no fear in his heart, only sincerity and respect.

Time passed by, and the efforts of the three finally paid off. The majestic and arrogant Golden Winged Lion King gradually put away the evil spirit on his body, and its huge body slowly bent down, and its proud head slowly lowered. Finally, it gently stretched out its nose and carefully touched Li Mingyang's palm, as if responding to his sincerity. At this moment, the whole world seemed to be still, leaving only the trust and understanding between them that transcended races.

"We succeeded!" Ah Yun couldn't contain his inner joy and excitement, and he shouted loudly in surprise. The sound was like a bright lightning that split the sky and instantly spread throughout the valley.

From then on, the majestic and domineering Golden Winged Lion King officially became Li Mingyang's new partner. Its agile posture, sharp eyes and powerful strength are all shocking. The joining of the Golden Winged Lion King is like a strong spring breeze blowing into the team, not only injecting new strength into their long and challenging journey, but also like a beacon illuminating the way forward, bringing endless hope and infinite possibilities to this journey.

When the night slowly fell like a huge black silk, the whole valley seemed to be gently shrouded by a mysterious hand. Gradually, a thin layer of mist began to fill the valley, which was like a veil and dreamlike, adding a bit of mystery and charm to this originally quiet and deep valley.

Li Mingyang sat quietly beside the campfire, the orange flames dancing, reflecting his well-defined face. He turned his head slightly, his eyes fell on the golden-winged lion king beside him, his eyes revealed a hint of tenderness and doting. He stretched out his right hand and gently stroked the golden-winged lion king's shining scales. Each scale was like a carefully carved work of art, shining brightly under the light of the fire.

The Golden Winged Lion King lay very docilely beside Li Mingyang, its huge body like a small hill. At this moment, it seemed to feel the love and care of its master, squinting its eyes and enjoying this rare quiet time. Occasionally, it would let out a low roar, but this roar did not carry the slightest threat, but more like a sigh of satisfaction.

"Do you know? Golden Winged Lion King, I am very curious why a powerful demon pet like you would stay in this place." Li Mingyang asked softly, his eyes full of curiosity and respect.

The Golden Winged Lion King slowly opened his eyes, and there seemed to be ancient and profound wisdom in his eyes. "This is my hometown," the lion king's voice was deep and powerful, as if it was an echo from ancient times. "A long time ago, this valley was the holy land of the Golden Winged Lion Clan. We are guarding an ancient secret here."

"Ancient secret?" Li Mingyang's heart moved and he leaned forward involuntarily.

"Yes," the Golden Winged Lion King continued, "It is a secret about balance and harmony, and it is the basis for the endless growth of all things between heaven and earth. However, as time passed, our people gradually forgot this mission and pursued personal power and glory. In the end, a civil strife almost destroyed the entire race, and I was exiled here for protecting this secret."

Hearing this, Li Mingyang couldn't help but sigh: "I see, so now that you are willing to follow me, does it mean that you have found an opportunity to fulfill this mission again?"

The Golden Winged Lion King nodded, with a hint of determination in his eyes. "Yes, I feel the light and justice in your heart, and I believe you can understand and inherit this responsibility. Moreover, I also hope to find a way to restore the former glory of the Golden Winged Lion Clan through my own strength."

Li Mingyang was deeply moved by the words of the Golden Winged Lion King. He solemnly promised: "I will do my best to help you realize your wish. We must not only protect this secret, but also make it a beacon that guides the world towards peace and prosperity."

The Golden Winged Lion King roared, expressing his trust and support for Li Mingyang. From this moment on, they were not only companions, but also pursuers of a common ideal, and their hearts were closely connected.

As the night deepened, the fog in the valley became thicker, but the two people and one beast felt unprecedented warmth and peace of mind by the campfire. Because they knew that as long as they had faith in their hearts, there would be no difficulties that could not be overcome and no destination that could not be reached.

In the following days, the Golden Winged Lion King showed its extraordinary ability. Whether it was exploring the road ahead or fighting against sudden dangers, it was always at the forefront. Li Mingyang and others also gradually learned how to better communicate and cooperate with this new friend. As a result, their team became more united and their combat effectiveness was significantly improved.

Just like that, with their new partner the Golden Winged Lion King, Li Mingyang and his party embarked on the journey to their next destination, where they were greeted by more unknown challenges and opportunities.

As night fell, a thin layer of mist filled the valley. Li Mingyang sat by the campfire, gently stroking the golden scales of the Golden Winged Lion King. The Golden Winged Lion King lay beside him docilely, enjoying this rare tranquility.

"Do you know? The Golden Winged Lion King!" Li Mingyang lowered his voice slightly and asked the majestic beast in front of him softly, his eyes full of irrepressible curiosity and deep respect. At this moment, Li Mingyang was like a child who was eager to learn, and couldn't wait to know the story behind it.
