Liang Wei's journey continued as he ventured deeper into the realm of cultivation, guided by the enigmatic hermit. Their next destination was the Forbidden Temple, a place steeped in ancient legends and rumored to hold secrets that could shape the fate of the realm.
As they approached the temple, a sense of foreboding hung in the air. The thick mist clung to the surroundings, shrouding the temple in an ethereal veil. Its towering gates stood imposingly, bearing marks of time and weathered with age.
"This is the Forbidden Temple, Liang Wei," the hermit whispered, their voice filled with reverence. "Legend has it that hidden within its hallowed halls lies a source of immense power. But be warned, for those who dare to trespass without pure intentions will face dire consequences."
