As the energy burst violently, dazzling beams shot out from the Crystal Ball like dragons, intertwining and wrapping around each other. The figure seemed composed purely of light and shadow, emanating an endless glow, so intense that it hurt the eyes, making it impossible to look directly. Wherever the light reached, the walls of the cave seemed to be coated in a layer of golden brilliance, yet carried a chilling air of mystery.

Shen Jingqi took a deep breath, trying to calm himself, then stepped forward and said loudly, "We are here to stop the secret organization from obtaining the mysterious power; they want to use this power to control the world. If they succeed, the entire world will plunge into endless darkness and chaos." His gaze was firm and persistent, fixing tightly on the mysterious figure, trying to find a clue from the other's expression.

The mysterious figure floated quietly in mid-air, light flowing around him, obscuring his face. He slightly lowered his head, his gaze falling on Shen Jingqi, eyes that seemed to penetrate Shen Jingqi's soul, reaching deep into his heart.

After a moment, a hint of appreciation appeared in the mysterious figure's eyes, and he said, "Your hearts are kind, but this power is too strong; it contains the universe's most primordial secrets. If obtained by someone with ill intent, it will bring an apocalyptic disaster to the world." His voice was deep and serious, as if telling an ancient prophecy.

Upon hearing the mysterious figure's words, Shen Jingqi and the others felt both nervous and excited. Nervous about the power's enormity, for once out of control, the consequences would be unimaginable; excited because the mysterious figure seemed not to harbor hostility toward them and might even help them. Shen Jingqi quickly said, "We understand the danger of this power, which is why we decided to stand up and prevent the secret organization's plot. Please believe in us, we will definitely guard this power well, not letting it fall into the wrong hands." His hands clenched tightly, knuckles white from the effort.

The mysterious figure was silent for a moment, then slowly said, "I can seal this power, but you must promise me to continue safeguarding world peace. This is not just a simple promise, but a heavy responsibility. On the path ahead, you will face countless difficulties and obstacles and may even sacrifice your lives." His voice carried a weight, as if reminding Shen Jingqi and the others of the challenges they were about to face.

Shen Jingqi and his companions exchanged glances, their eyes shining with determination. They all nodded, saying in unison, "We promise you. No matter what difficulties we encounter, we will surely stick to our mission, safeguarding world peace." Their voices echoed in the cave, filled with resolve and courage.

The mysterious figure nodded in satisfaction, then slowly raised his hands, chanting incantations. Mysterious runes flew from his fingertips, rotating around the Crystal Ball. The runes glowed with multicolored light, resonating with the glow from the Crystal Ball, forming a massive energy vortex. The people of the secret organization, seeing this scene, showed expressions of terror, knowing that their plot was about to be destroyed.

"No! We must not let them seal this power!" the head of the secret organization shouted hysterically, waving his weapon, trying to rush up and stop the mysterious figure. However, before he could get close, he was thrown back by an invisible force, crashing heavily to the ground. He struggled to get up but found his body seemed pinned by a great mountain, unable to move.

The mysterious figure ignored the head of the secret organization, focusing entirely on performing the magic. As the runes increased, the energy vortex grew stronger, and the light within the Crystal Ball was gradually constrained by the runes. Shen Jingqi and the others watched this process intently, not daring to breathe. They knew the sealing process could not tolerate any mistakes; any mishap would bring unimaginable consequences.

Just as the sealing was about to be completed, suddenly, a deep roar came from the depths of the cave. The sound seemed to emerge from the depths of Hell, making one's hair stand on end. Immediately after, the ground of the cave began to shake violently, with cracks spreading from all directions. The mysterious figure frowned, and the speed of his spell increased slightly.

"What's going on?" Shen Jingqi asked in terror. His gaze searched the cave, trying to locate the source of the sound.

The mysterious figure did not answer him, instead, continuing to focus on performing the magic. However, the roar grew closer, as if something was closing in on them. The people of the secret organization, hearing this sound, showed expressions of joy, seemingly seeing a turning point.

"Haha, our reinforcements have arrived!" the head of the secret organization laughed maniacally.

Shen Jingqi and his companions' hearts tightened; they didn't know what these mysterious reinforcements were, but intuition told them this would be an unprecedented crisis. They gripped their weapons tightly, watching the surroundings with vigilance.

Finally, a massive shadow emerged slowly from the depths of the cave. The shadow was gigantic, like a moving mountain, causing the ground to tremble with each step. It emanated an aura of evil, sending chills down the spine. When Shen Jingqi and his companions looked closely, they discovered that it was a gigantic Magical Beast. Its eyes burned like flames, radiating endless ferocity and greed; its teeth were as sharp as knives, glinting with a cold light; its body was covered in thick scales, like an impregnable armor.

"This is... an Ancient Magical Beast!" the mysterious figure exclaimed. His voice carried a hint of surprise and concern.

Upon hearing the mysterious figure's words, Shen Jingqi and his companions became even more anxious. They didn't expect to encounter an Ancient Magical Beast at this critical moment. This beast's power was undoubtedly extraordinary, could they withstand its attack?

The Ancient Magical Beast, seeing the mysterious figure and Shen Jingqi and his companions, let out a roar and charged towards them. Its speed was incredibly fast, reaching them in an instant. The mysterious figure quickly stopped his spell, waving his hands, a shield of light appearing before everyone. The Ancient Magical Beast crashed into the shield with a loud boom. The shield trembled violently, seemingly on the verge of shattering.

"You quickly go help seal the power, leave this beast to me!" the mysterious figure shouted. His voice carried an undeniable authority.

Shen Jingqi and his companions hesitated for a moment, worried that the mysterious figure alone might not withstand the Ancient Magical Beast's attack. But seeing the determination in the mysterious figure's eyes, they knew now was not the time to hesitate. Thus, they turned and continued assisting the mysterious figure in sealing the mysterious power.
