Lee Xian, Cultivator of Guyon

Test of Nava

Cin Xiu and his group stood in a fiery red light from the eyes of those stone creatures. Their bodies are upright, ready to face threats. The bold and resolute Cin Xiu said, "Don't attack them first. We don't know if they're enemies or not."

The wise Xian added, "We did not come here to seek battle. Maybe they have useful information for us. Let's try talking to them first."

However, before they could do anything, the stone creatures suddenly spoke. Their voice was like the sound of a rock rubbing against it, loud and clinking, but there was a tone of greed and arrogance in it.

"You are humans who have entered our territory" said one of the creatures in a voice echoing in the cave. "You must pay the price for this violation."

They surrounded this group of adventurers, indicating that they had no intention of speaking peacefully. Cin Xiu remained calm and tried to explain the purpose of their arrival, but the creatures only laughed humbly.

The situation grew increasingly tense, and then suddenly from behind them appeared another creature. This creature is different from the one before. His body looked more human than a stone, and his face had a softer expression. He raised his hand as a sign of peace.

"Excuse my rather rude friends," said this creature in a softer voice. "They are the guardians of this region and are always suspicious of humans. I am Nava, the guardian of this cave. May I know the purpose of your arrival here?"

Cin Xiu explained their good intentions to clear the test and search for the sacred object believed to be located inside this cave. Nava seemed to understand, and he explained that the object was indeed inside the cave. However, in order to obtain it, they had to pass a series of tests and obstacles.

Nava is willing to help them, but on the condition that they have to undergo a personal exam. Each member of the group must face tests that are appropriate to their nature and character. Cin Xiu agreed, and Nava arranged the first exam.

Cin Xiu had to face the test of fortitude. He was separated from his group and placed inside a dark and silent cave. He had to remain alone for one night in the cave, without any torches or weapons. This was the most suitable test for a strong and courageous character like Cin Xiu.

Meanwhile, Xian, who was wise and intelligent, was faced with the test of knowledge. He had to answer a series of questions about history and philosophy. This exam tests his knowledge and his ability to think logically.

Wei, who had knowledge of nature, had to face the test of environmental awareness. He was placed in the middle of a lush forest and had to keep the balance of nature for a whole day. This was an appropriate test for a character who cared about nature like Wei.

May Mei, who is cheerful and agile, is faced with a test of communication skills. He had to help a village family that was facing an internal conflict. This is a test that is appropriate for a character who is good at speaking and listening like Mei Mei.

Lu Jian, who was always silent but vigilant, was faced with a test of vigilance. He is placed in the middle of a trap-filled road and must find a way out without any help. This was an appropriate test for an ever-vigilant character like Lu Jian.

The five members of the group must pass their respective exams to prove that they deserve the sacred object. His tests not only tested their abilities, but also tested their nature and character. This is a new stage in their journey full of surprises and challenges.

Meanwhile, Cin Xiu was inside a dark and silent cave. Strange and mysterious sounds rang out around him, and he had to remain calm and strong during this terrifying night. This was a true test of fortitude, and he knew that the result would affect the fate of his group.

Cin Xiu pondered about their journey so far. They have faced many obstacles and dangers, but they have also grown as individuals and as a team. They have learned to respect and depend on each other, and they have a strong determination to succeed.

Meanwhile, Xian, Wei, Mei Mei, and Lu Jian also faced their respective exams with the same determination. They know that the test is part of their journey towards the sacred object they seek. No one knew what awaited them inside this cave, but they were ready to face it with great vigor.

After successfully passing the series of exams faced by each member of the group, Cin Xiu, Xian, Wei, Mei Mei, and Lu Jian finally regrouped in front of the cave door where Nava was waiting. They could feel a different atmosphere as they stepped towards the deeper cave.

The cave is getting deeper and darker, only a little light enters through the large rock crevices above. They felt the air getting damper and the smell of wet soil getting stronger as they continued walking. Cin Xiu who had always been at the forefront, spoke excitedly, "We must remain cautious within this cave. No one knows what's waiting for us here."

The wise Xian agreed, "Right, we have passed the previous tests, but we must not underestimate this cave. There may be a greater obstacle waiting for us ahead."

They continued their journey, passing through dark and winding passages. The deeper they entered, the greater the tension they felt. They felt like they were venturing into endless darkness.

Suddenly, their mood changed when they arrived at a sizable space inside the cave. The dim light from the ceiling of the cave revealed huge boulders scattered throughout the room. They also saw a small waterfall that fell from above into a beautiful crystal pool in the middle of the room.

Cin Xiu and his companions were stunned by this natural beauty. They could sense a powerful aura of power in this place, and they knew that this was the next test they had to face.

Xian, who was always looking for understanding, approached the crystal pool and immersed his hand in it. He felt an incredible natural energy flowing through his body, giving him a deeper knowledge of life and the universe.

Meanwhile, Wei, who had knowledge of nature, felt like she had returned to the roots of nature. He approached the large trees growing by the pond and spoke to them. The trees gave him insight into how to maintain the balance of nature and the environment.

Mei Mei, who was cheerful and agile, felt like she was welcomed by the small creatures that lived around the pond. They taught her about simple happiness and how to keep a cheerful spirit in any situation.

Lu Jian, who was always on guard, felt like he was being noticed by something invisible. He felt a strange energy moving around him. Quickly, he found a nearly invisible trap that could harm their group. Carefully, he disabled the trap, showing his incredible vigilance.

Cin Xiu, who had always been brave and strong, felt like she had to face a physical exam. He saw a large rock in the middle of the crystal pool that seemed to have magical powers. With a strong determination, he jumped onto the stone and felt a magical energy flowing through him. It is a test of courage and physical strength that suits his character.

After they all passed their respective exams, they regrouped in the middle of the room. Nava emerged from the darkness and smiled at them.

"You guys have passed the test well" Nava said. "It's time to take the final test. The holy thing you seek is in a deeper cave. But to achieve it, you must pass the test of true courage."

Nava guided them to the deeper entrance of the cave. They knew that this was their last test, and tension and enthusiasm were mixed in their hearts.

As they stepped into the deeper cave, they had no idea what was waiting for them ahead. But they are ready to face it with a strong determination and unwavering spirit. Their trials and wonders will continue, and there may be greater surprises waiting for them in this mysterious cave.
