The name sparked recognition among the group, each of them sharing a glance. The Jade Gate Temple was an ancient stronghold of cultivators, hidden deep within the mountain range. Said to hold untold secrets and powerful artifacts, it had been a place of mystery for centuries.
Wei Lin turned to Selene, her eyes sharp. "Why the temple?"
Selene's voice was low, almost reverent. "The temple is built on a nexus of energy, a place where the threads of reality are strongest. If we can reach it, we might be able to find a way to contain the ripple we've created. Maybe even stop it from spreading further."
"That's assuming the temple isn't just another myth," Mara remarked, her eyes skeptical. "I've heard stories about it, but no one's ever confirmed if it's even real."
"Real or not, it's our best chance," Wei Lin replied firmly. "If there's even a slight chance that we can stop the Abyss from spiraling out of control, we have to take it."
