Chapter 50: New Clues

In the ice tomb, after Kyle successfully fused the cold energy and the stardust power, the entire ice tomb was filled with joy and hope. Under the continuous effect of the purifying energy, the bodies of the surviving members of the Lingyao Clan gradually regained their vitality, and the "Dark Erosion" energy in their bodies had been suppressed to the minimum. However, Kyle and the others were not carried away by the current achievements. They were well aware that there was still a long way to go to completely eliminate the threat of the "Dark Erosion" and close the door to the dark world.

Just as everyone was discussing the next plan, an elder of the Lingyao Clan dressed in a white robe walked over slowly. His hair and beard were both silver, emitting a soft light in the ice tomb. His eyes revealed boundless wisdom, as if he could see through everything in the world. This elder was highly respected in the Lingyao Clan. Although he had gone through the years of being sealed in ice, his calm and wise demeanor remained undiminished.

"Brave adventurers, I have heard of your heroic deeds. It is you who rescued us from the frozen nightmare, and the Lingyao Clan will always be grateful to you," the elder's voice was deep and powerful, with the charm of the precipitation of time.

Kyle and the others quickly saluted the elder to show their respect. Kyle said, "Elder, you are too kind. Everything we have done is not only for the Lingyao Clan but also for the peace of this star domain. Now, although we have successfully activated the purification ceremony, to completely solve the problem of the 'Dark Erosion', we still need your wise guidance."

The elder nodded slightly, his eyes looking into the distance deeply, and said slowly, "The source of the 'Dark Erosion' is far more complex than we imagined. According to the ancient books of the Lingyao Clan, it may have an intricate connection with a certain ancient star domain. When the Lingyao Clan was in its prime, we explored many star domains, and there is a place called the Colorful Spirit Tree Star Domain, which has an unknown history."

When Kyle and the others heard the name "Colorful Spirit Tree Star Domain", a trace of curiosity and expectation flashed in their eyes. The elder continued, "In the distant past, the Lingyao Clan established a wonderful symbiotic relationship with the Colorful Spirit Trees. The Colorful Spirit Trees possess unique mental fluctuations, which can help us enhance our perception of the stardust power and enable us to better master and utilize this power. In order to maintain this symbiotic relationship, we created the 'Spirit Tree Council'. The wise men of the Lingyao Clan and the representatives of the will of the Colorful Spirit Trees jointly discussed and maintained the balance of the star domain."

"What happened later? Why is this star domain related to the 'Dark Erosion' now?" Elsa couldn't help asking.

The elder's expression became solemn, and a trace of sadness flashed in his eyes. "Later, the erosion of the 'Dark Erosion' came like a turbulent tide. The Colorful Spirit Trees were the first to bear the brunt and were seriously affected. The originally vibrant and radiant spirit trees gradually turned black and lost their former vitality. With the change of the spirit trees, the symbiotic connection between them and the Lingyao Clan was also cut off, and the 'Spirit Tree Council' collapsed. Since then, the Colorful Spirit Tree Star Domain has fallen into chaos and darkness."

Kyle frowned and fell into deep thought. "So, the 'Dark Erosion' is very likely to have spread from the Colorful Spirit Tree Star Domain, and there may be the key to completely solving the problem of the 'Dark Erosion' hidden there."

The elder nodded. "That's exactly what I think. Before we were sealed in ice, there were brave warriors of the Lingyao Clan who went to the Colorful Spirit Tree Star Domain to find the truth, but they never returned. Now, you are the hope of the Lingyao Clan and also the hope of this star domain. If you can go to the Colorful Spirit Tree Star Domain, you may be able to find a way to close the door to the dark world."

Morgan clenched his fists, his eyes full of determination. "We will definitely go! No matter how many difficulties and obstacles lie ahead, we will not flinch." At this time, Morgan's gaze swept over the surviving members of the Lingyao Clan who were regaining their vitality around him, and his heart couldn't help but stir. He walked up to a young surviving member of the Lingyao Clan, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "Brother, we are about to embark on a new journey. What are your plans?" The young survivor looked up at Morgan, his eyes full of gratitude. "Morgan, thanks to you, we were able to be reborn. We plan to stay in this Frost Spirit Marsh Star Domain. This place holds our memories, and the power of the ice tomb is now slowly stabilizing the residual effects of the 'Dark Erosion'. We want to rebuild our homeland here and pass on the bloodline of the Lingyao Clan." Morgan nodded slightly, a trace of relief flashing in his eyes. "Good job. I hope you can restore the glory of the Lingyao Clan. When we solve the source of the 'Dark Erosion', we will definitely come back and be with you."

Cavin, on the other hand, asked thoughtfully, "Elder, do you know any specific clues about the Colorful Spirit Tree Star Domain? For example, how to get there, and are there any special dangers we need to be aware of?"

The elder took out a crystal emitting a faint light from his bosom and handed it to Kyle. "This crystal contains some information about the Colorful Spirit Tree Star Domain, including the approximate location and some ancient legends. As for the dangers, although I can't know for sure, I can feel that the 'Dark Erosion' energy there is extremely powerful. You must be extremely careful when you go there."

Kyle took the crystal and felt the mysterious power contained in it. He bowed deeply to the elder. "Thank you, Elder. We will definitely return with hope and completely solve the problem of the 'Dark Erosion'."

After saying goodbye to the surviving members of the Lingyao Clan, Kyle and the others began to prepare for the journey to the Colorful Spirit Tree Star Domain. They checked all the equipment of the spaceship to ensure that it could operate normally during the long interstellar journey. Elsa used her ice magic to add a special layer of protection to the spaceship to resist the possible cold and energy impacts. Cavin carefully studied the crystal given by the elder, trying to obtain more useful information from it. Morgan was busy preparing various supplies to ensure that they would not get into trouble during the journey.

When everything was ready, Kyle and the others boarded the spaceship and set off towards the Colorful Spirit Tree Star Domain. As the spaceship slowly lifted off and left the Frost Spirit Marsh Star Domain, everyone's hearts were filled with both expectation and a trace of nervousness. They knew that what awaited them ahead would be a brand-new adventure full of unknowns.

During the spaceship's voyage, Kyle and the others sat around together and discussed the clues about the Colorful Spirit Tree Star Domain again. "According to the elder's description, the Colorful Spirit Tree Star Domain used to be a place full of life and harmony, but now it is shrouded in the 'Dark Erosion'. I think when we get there, we should first find the remaining will of the Colorful Spirit Trees. Maybe it can tell us more secrets about the 'Dark Erosion'," Kyle said.

Elsa nodded. "That's right, and the Colorful Spirit Trees have a special connection with the stardust power. We may be able to use it to further enhance our strength and better deal with the 'Dark Erosion'."

Cavin pushed his glasses and said, "I've read some information from the crystal. The Colorful Spirit Tree Star Domain has a unique energy field, and our spaceship may be interfered with after entering. At that time, we need to stay vigilant at all times to ensure the safety of the spaceship."

Morgan patted his chest. "Don't worry, everyone. I'll be responsible for the safety of the spaceship. If there's any danger, I'll rush forward immediately."

Everyone smiled at each other. During this long interstellar journey, they encouraged and supported each other, making full preparations for the upcoming adventure. As the spaceship gradually approached the Colorful Spirit Tree Star Domain, through the spaceship's window, they could see the starry sky ahead gradually becoming colorful, with various strange lights intertwined, as if telling the former glory of this star domain.
