Insufficient balance

  Late afternoon, outside the periphery of the Forest of God.

  "With a loud 'bang', a burst of magical aura exploded into the sky. I fell, I fell crazily, but nothing happened, this was already the nth time I had attacked this annoying barrier."

  Seven days ago, under the guidance of the three elders, we found the edge of the Divine Boundary very smoothly. However, seven days have passed and the six of us have tried countless methods - magic attacks, aura slashes, combination attacks, pinpoint attacks (attacking the same spot) - yet we still can't break through this boundary.

  "I'm out of energy... it seems like today is hopeless too." The exhausted figure who had just cast two levels of attack magic collapsed beside the war tiger.

  Shūji furrowed his brow and said, "Is this really the barrier set up by the divine fabric? It's too terrifying that our indiscriminate attacks can't even cause a bit of damage to it."

  Xing Ao angrily said: "I don't believe it, I'll try again." As he spoke, he concentrated his energy on the Knight's Sword and charged forward once more. "Bang." Needless to say, the barrier sent him flying back again.

  This barrier is completely transparent and emits a seven-colored glow when attacked. I really don't know how high its strength is, and it's estimated that even forbidden spells may not be able to penetrate it.

  "Must I really give up like this? To enter Baoshan and return empty-handed, what face do I have to see Teacher Di?"

  "Winter walked up beside me and comforted me saying: 'Don't think so much, as long as you're sincere, it'll work out. Let's take a rest today and continue tomorrow.'"

  His words suddenly moved me on a winter day, and I hastily asked him: "What did you just say?"

  "Winter hesitated for a moment and said: 'I said let's take a rest first, we can continue working hard tomorrow! What's wrong?'"

  "Not this sentence. There is still one before."

  "I told you earlier not to think too much, sincerity moves heaven."

  "Right, right, it's this sentence, sincerity moves heaven, sincerity moves heaven, could it be that our method is incorrect?"

  Shu's eyes lit up when he heard me say that. "Right, shouldn't we be tough on it and use gentle means?"

  "I thought for a moment and said: 'Forget it, let's just leave it like this for today. Everyone is tired enough, let's take a good rest first, and we'll study it carefully again tomorrow.'"

  Lying on a bed made of leaves, gazing at the starry sky, how can I break through this unbreakable boundary? Force won't work, maybe gentleness will. Sincerity is key, but what's the way to be sincere? These thoughts keep flashing in my mind, making me toss and turn with insomnia. Forget it, since I couldn't sleep anyway, let's meditate and recover my magic power for now, we'll talk about it tomorrow.

  I gradually focused my mind on the golden elixir, fully relaxing myself, feeling the light elements around me, many bright and shining points of light gathering towards me. In my heart, I silently thought: dear friends, come, I need you.

  The golden elixir gradually filled up with the arrival of the light element, and after an unknown amount of time, the golden elixir was fully replenished with energy. The feeling of being full was truly comfortable. I opened my eyes to find that it was just dawn, and everyone else was still asleep. I walked to the edge of the boundary, gently stroking this unbreakable wall with my hand, and felt a mix of emotions in my heart. After more than a year of hard work, I had finally reached this point, but being stuck here made me feel terrible.

  I gazed through the barrier at the dense forest inside, and my mood gradually calmed down. What a beautiful nature it is! At this moment, the barrier under my hand suddenly transmitted a wave of energy fluctuations, could it be...

  I tentatively explored the boundary, thinking of beautiful and peaceful thoughts in my mind, carefully transmitting my spiritual power over, the energy of the boundary first shook a little, and then surprisingly gradually accepted my spiritual power.

  A warm and gentle voice echoed in my heart: "Who disturbed my long sleep." It scared me, could it be that the seal is alive? I transmitted my spiritual sense to the seal "Hello, I didn't mean to disturb your tranquility, I'm here to find the Holy Sword."

  "Holy Sword? Kid, it's been a long time since anyone came here. I advise you not to go looking for it."

  "Why?"

  "Because I feel your kind heart, don't want you to go to your death."

  "This is a task assigned by my teacher, no matter how difficult it is, I must complete it. Please, let me in."

  Half a day passed without a response, "Boundary Grandfather, is it okay?"

  "Alright, it's very dangerous inside, there are three difficult passes to get through, each one more difficult than the last. You be careful yourself, you and your friend go in together, you can take care of each other. If you can't make it through, don't try to force it, quickly retreat, don't throw away your life for nothing."

  "Alright, thank you, Boundary Grandfather." Looks like it's quite pleased with this title.

  I didn't know how lucky I was. Firstly, this seal was set by the Creator God and has been in existence for unknown ages. Any evil or violent force cannot pass through it. Unintentionally, my good intentions awakened the mysterious "Seal Grandfather". Secondly, during my conversation with Seal Grandfather, my firm beliefs gained his appreciation, which is also the key to my successful passage through the seal. If I couldn't get his permission, I wouldn't be able to enter this seal.

  I rushed back to everyone's side and shouted loudly: "Everyone get up, everyone get up."

  Pushing this and shaking that, they finally shook everyone awake.

  "Hey, what's going on? Can't you see I'm still sleepy? It's not even light outside yet!"

  "What's going on so early?"

  Dissatisfied voices filled our temporary camp.

  I smiled slightly and suddenly said loudly: "I've found a way to enter the boundary!"

  Startled them all, Shuri was the first to react, "Really? We can enter the boundary?"

  "Right, we can go in now, lazy guys, hurry up and let's go."

  "On a winter day, a loud whoop came from his mouth as he jumped up, 'Chang Gong, how did you do it?'"

  I will go through the process of communicating with the boundary again.

  "Longbow, this seal has been here for who knows how long, it's probably become a deity itself. Looks like your luck is unusually good, let's go, don't let the old fellow change its mind."

  "Hehe, no way, let's go."

  Everyone came to the boundary once again, we put our hands on the boundary together, and transmitted emotions of respect, peace, and warmth. Suddenly, with a light touch, the boundary disappeared.

  We exchanged glances and let out a cheer in unison. First, we bowed deeply towards the original location of the seal, then flashed into it like lightning.
