Just when they were about to give up, the old man appeared again. He looked at the two of them in distress and said earnestly, "The fusion of Spiritual Power and the Spirit Pearl's power is the most crucial step in the cultivation process, and also the most difficult one."

"You must understand that although these two forces are different, they both originate from the heavens and earth and share a common essence. You must use your heart to sense their commonality and find the opportunity to fuse them."

Shen Jingqi and Lin Yue, hearing the old man's words, found new hope rekindling in their hearts. They closed their eyes again, calmed their minds, and used their hearts to feel the essence of these two forces.

Shen Jingqi discovered that although the Chaos Spirit Pearl's power was strong, it was full of vitality and life, like a spring breeze, warm and gentle. His Spiritual Power, though pure, was somewhat rigid, lacking in change. He began trying to make his Spiritual Power more agile to harmonize with the Chaos Spirit Pearl's power.

Lin Yue also found clues to the fusion. She discovered that the power of the Chaos Spirit Pearl contained a mysterious rhythm, which bore similarities to the Magic she practiced. She began to follow this rhythm, guiding her Spiritual Power to intertwine with the Spirit Pearl's power.

Through repeated attempts, they finally found the opportunity to fuse. At the moment when the two forces finally merged, they felt an unprecedented powerful force surging within them. This force seemed capable of destroying heaven and earth, filling them with confidence.

"We did it!" Shen Jingqi exclaimed excitedly. Lin Yue was also overwhelmed with tears of joy: "Yes, we finally did it."

However, they did not let their guard down because of this.

As they became more proficient in controlling the Chaos Spirit Pearl's power, they began to try casting even more powerful Magic.

On this day, the old man took them to a vast canyon. The wind howled in the canyon, and sand and stones were flying. The old man pointed at a huge boulder in the canyon and said, "Use the power of the Chaos Spirit Pearl to smash this boulder."

Shen Jingqi and Lin Yue exchanged a glance, their hearts full of expectation. They walked to the boulder and stood firm.

Shen Jingqi took a deep breath, concentrated, and gathered the Chaos Spirit Pearl's power in his palm. He could feel a powerful force converging in his palm, as if it was ready to burst out at any moment. He shouted and slapped his palm towards the boulder. A dazzling light shot out from his palm, hitting the boulder directly. The boulder shattered instantly, debris flying everywhere.

Lin Yue was not to be outdone. She cast Magic, transforming the Chaos Spirit Pearl's power into sharp rays of light, shooting towards the other boulders in the canyon. Wherever the light passed, the boulders fell, making deafening sounds.

The old man watched their performance and nodded in satisfaction: "Not bad, you can now skillfully use the power of the Chaos Spirit Pearl. However, remember that although this power is strong, it must be used cautiously. Otherwise, if it gets out of control, it could bring unimaginable disaster."

Shen Jingqi and Lin Yue responded respectfully: "Yes, we understand."

However, just as they thought everything was going well, a mysterious enemy appeared.

On this day, Shen Jingqi and Lin Yue were training in the training field. Suddenly, dark clouds gathered in the sky, and a black lightning bolt tore across the horizon. Immediately afterwards, a figure dressed in a black robe appeared before them.

The black-robed figure exuded a powerful evil aura, making people shiver. He looked at the Chaos Spirit Pearl in Shen Jingqi and Lin Yue's hands, and a glint of greed flashed in his eyes: "Chaos Spirit Pearl, I've finally found you."

Shen Jingqi and Lin Yue watched the black-robed man warily, their hearts filled with confusion: "Who are you? Why do you want to seize the Chaos Spirit Pearl?"

The black-robed man let out a cold laugh: "Who I am isn't important. What's important is that the Chaos Spirit Pearl belongs to me. If you hand it over obediently, I can spare your lives."

Shen Jingqi clenched the Chaos Spirit Pearl in his hand tightly and said firmly, "Impossible, the Chaos Spirit Pearl is something we fought hard to reclaim, we will never give it to you."

The black-robed man's eyes turned cold: "Since you're refusing the toast and choosing the forfeit, don't blame me for being rude."

With that, the black-robed man waved his hands, and a black light shot towards Shen Jingqi and Lin Yue. They quickly dodged and simultaneously launched an attack. They unleashed their strongest Magic, engaging in a fierce battle with the black-robed man.

During the battle, Shen Jingqi and Lin Yue found that the black-robed man was extremely powerful, and they were no match for him. Each of his attacks carried a strong evil force, making them feel incredibly oppressed.

"What do we do? We're no match for him," Lin Yue said anxiously.

Shen Jingqi gritted his teeth: "We can't give up, we must find a way to defeat him."

Just as they were in a predicament, the old man suddenly appeared. The old man looked at the black-robed man and said coldly: "Who are you? Why are you causing trouble here?"

The black-robed man, seeing the old man, flashed a trace of fear in his eyes: "Old man, you better stay out of this. The Chaos Spirit Pearl, I must get it today."

The old man snorted coldly: "With me here, you can forget about succeeding."

With that, the old man and the black-robed man engaged in a thrilling duel. Both of their powers had reached a very high level, and the battle's aftershocks made the peak of Spirit Mountain tremble.

In the intense battle, the old man gradually gained the upper hand. Seeing the situation was not favorable, the black-robed man developed the idea of retreat. He suddenly cast a mysterious Magic, transforming into a black smoke, disappearing into the sky.

The old man looked at the direction where the black-robed man disappeared, his face very grave: "This person's power is strong, and it seems there is a huge conspiracy lurking behind him. You must be careful."

Shen Jingqi and Lin Yue nodded: "Yes, we will definitely strengthen our training and protect the Chaos Spirit Pearl."

Under the old man's guidance, they continued to train day and night.

However, there was always a question in their hearts. What was that mysterious force? Why did they want to seize the Chaos Spirit Pearl? They felt that there seemed to be a great conspiracy hidden behind it all.

One day, while Shen Jingqi and Lin Yue were resting from training, they sat on the mountaintop chatting.

"Who do you think that mysterious force is? Why are they trying to seize the Chaos Spirit Pearl?" Lin Yue looked into the distance, her eyes full of doubt.

Shen Jingqi shook his head: "I don't know either. But I always feel that this matter isn't that simple."

Just then, they suddenly felt a strong aura emanating from afar. Both of them were shocked, quickly standing up, and alertedly observing their surroundings.
