Mei, Xian, and Thio Ling arrived at the Snow Shrine, a place where they would undergo tests to prove their goodwill in helping the Snow Kingdom against the worsening threat of the Snow Spirit. The temple was located in the middle of a vast plain that was covered by a thick layer of snow. The cold wind blew fiercely, and the sun set, giving a gripping atmosphere around them.
The Snow Temple is a large building made of pure white marble, with beautiful ornaments adorning its walls. The entrance was a tall gate guarded by two Snow warriors armed with ice swords. They looked solemn and prepared to face anyone who came with malicious intent.
Erlina, who had brought Mei, Xian, and Thio Ling all the way here, explained their examination procedures. "You have to undergo three different exams inside the Snow Shrine. Each exam will test your skills and goodwill. If you manage to pass all three exams, then you will be considered an ally of the Snow Kingdom."
Mei, Xian, and Thio Ling nodded as a sign of their agreement. They are ready to face any test that is waiting.
The first test is the Strength Test. They were asked to enter a large room made entirely of ice. In the middle of the room, they found a group of Snow warriors ready to fight. They were the first test that Mei, Xian, and Thio Ling had to face.
The battle began, and the three cultivators from White Sand had to face the formidable Snow warriors. They used their strength that had been trained for many years in fierce battles against the ice enemies. The cold weather and the slippery snow layer made the fight even more difficult, but with their teamwork and incredible abilities, Mei, Xian, and Thio Ling managed to defeat the Snow warrior.
The second test is the Endurance Test. They had to go into a long, dark tunnel of ice. Inside the tunnel, the temperature gets colder, and the exposure of the sharp icy wind makes their journey even more difficult. This test was a test of their physical and mental endurance.
They walked in the darkness, carefully stepping each step. The tunnel was filled with shock, like a wall of ice that suddenly collapsed and snow that descended heavily. They need to stay calm and focus on passing this exam.
At the end of the tunnel, they found the exit, and they felt relieved to have passed this second test. They know that the last one is the Heart Test.
The third test is the Heart Test. They were taken to the last room, where an old woman in white clothes sat in the middle of the room decorated with burning ice candles. The woman was a spiritual guide who would test their good intentions.
The woman greeted them kindly and said, "The final test is the test of your heart. I will read your hearts and judge your good intentions. You must be honest and sincere in answering my questions."
Sincerely, Mei, Xian, and Thio Ling answered the woman's questions. They told of their good intentions to help the Snow Kingdom fight the increasingly powerful Snow Spirit. The woman pondered for a moment, then smiled with satisfaction.
"All of you have passed this test well" he said. "You are a valuable ally to the Snow Kingdom. We'll give you your help in your mission against the Snow Spirit."
Mei, Xian, and Thio Ling were relieved and grateful. They had successfully passed these difficult exams and were now gaining the full support of the Snow Kingdom.
With careful preparation, they immediately began their mission to fight the increasingly powerful Snow Spirit. They had no idea what was waiting ahead, but they had a strong determination to protect the Snow Kingdom and uncover the secret behind the threat of the Snow Spirit.
Meanwhile, in a distant place, Shiro continued to monitor their journey attentively. He knew that the biggest challenge was still waiting for them, and he was determined to protect Mei, Xian, and Thio Ling in order to stay safe during their dangerous mission.
After passing the heavy trials at the Snow Shrine, Mei, Xian, and Thio Ling began their journey to the territory controlled by the Snow Spirit. Their mission is to uncover the secret behind the threat of the Snow Spirit and try to stop them before the Snow Kingdom is completely destroyed.
They walked through the vast snow plains, across the icy mountains and frozen forests. A bone-chilling cold wind, and the sky was overcast, giving off a gloomy atmosphere around them. However, their resolve did not falter. They had promised to protect the Snow Kingdom, and they would not retreat.
During the trip, they often talked about their plans. Mei was the most experienced among them, and she became the natural leader in this mission. Xian is the most intelligent and creative, often giving brilliant ideas to overcome problems. Thio Ling, with her strong strength and sincere heart, became an important physical and moral force in the team.
Xian nodded. "I agree. We must try to understand our enemies as best we can before we act."
They continued walking, looking for clues about the whereabouts of the Snow Spirit. However, the task was not as easy as they thought. They had to face various obstacles, such as a blizzard that struck, attacks by fierce ice creatures, and roads covered by a thick layer of ice.
One night, while camping by a frozen lake, Xian tells of his past experiences. "You know," he said as he looked at the small bonfire they had made, "I once disappeared for several years after the Water Trials. I never told you about it before."
Mei and Thio Ling looked at Xian attentively. They wanted to know what Xian had experienced during that time.
"When I disappeared, I met an old cultivation teacher" Xian continued. "His name is Lu Chen, and he has been exploring this world for decades. He taught me many things about strength and wisdom, and he introduced me to the White Sand Cultivator Group."
Mei took a deep breath. "So, you were once part of that group of cultivators before joining us."
Xian nodded. "Yes, I promised at that time that I would rejoin them once I felt ready. And now, after meeting you guys, I feel that the time has come."
Thio Ling smiled. "We're glad you joined us, Xian. And we will support your decision to continue the journey with Lu Chen."
They continued their journey to the Snow Spirit territory in high spirits. However, they did not realize that they were being monitored by the unseen Snow Spirit spies.
Suddenly, they were faced with a shocking surprise. In the middle of the dark ice forest, they met a shocking figure: a little girl who looked confused and frightened. The girl was only wearing thin clothes and looked very weak.
Mei, Xian, and Thio Ling immediately approached to help the girl. "Who are you? What are you doing here alone?" ask Mei with concern.
The little girl looked at them with eyes full of fear. "Please, help me" he asked in a weak voice.
However, before they could ask any further, the sky above them darkened. A strong wind started blowing, and the snow fell heavily. They suddenly felt trapped in a deadly blizzard.
"We must seek immediate protection!" xian said, holding the little girl's hand.
They ran towards the nearby ice forest, trying to protect themselves from the terrible storm. In the midst of the darkness, they felt that something was wrong. They felt that this storm was no ordinary natural occurrence.
Suddenly, among the swirling snow crowd, a terrifying figure appeared. It was the Snow Spirit, the entity they had been looking for all this time.
"You have entered my territory" sighed the Snow Spirit with a shivering voice. "You'll never get out of here alive."
Their mission to fight the Snow Spirit has exposed Mei, Xian, and Thio Ling to a threat greater than they ever imagined. How would they face such a powerful enemy? And will they be able to protect the little girl they met in the middle of this blizzard?
