Legacy: Miracle

Chapter 223 Internal Disagreement

In the valley, the night was as dark as ink, deep and silent. The expedition's campfire flickered gently in the night breeze, like a lone boat on the sea. The flames illuminated the solemnity and anxiety on every face. The team members sat around the fire, their shadows stretched out and cast against the jagged rocks, appearing particularly eerie.

"We really can't keep trying blindly like this." A team member's voice trembled and uneasily in the silence. "Adjusting the frequency of our spiritual energy could cause irreparable damage if it gets out of control. We should stop and conduct more research and testing to ensure every step is safe."

His words were like a stone dropped into a calm lake, stirring up ripples. The other team members nodded, their faces filled with worry. "Yes, we only have one life, we can't take such risks." "This barrier is too strange, we have to be careful."

However, at that moment, the sound of steady and resolute footsteps shattered the resonance. A burly member stepped forward, his figure towering in the firelight, his eyes gleaming with an unyielding light. "We can't retreat out of fear. Time is running out, and the Lingyun Pearl is right before our eyes. How can we give up because of a small risk?"

"But, what if..." Someone wanted to object, but was interrupted by the burly team member as soon as he opened his mouth.

"No buts!" he said firmly, his voice echoing through the valley. "We came here for the Lingyun Pearl. If we retreat because we're afraid of the risk, won't all our previous efforts be in vain? Can our faith and our determination be so fragile?"

Each side held their own view, the arguments grew louder, and the atmosphere became increasingly tense. Yun Yi, Arya, and Kevin stood aside, their brows furrowed. They knew someone had to step in and mediate.

"Everyone, please be quiet!" Yun Yi's voice was low, but it carried an undeniable authority. He stood up, his gaze sweeping over everyone. "We are a team, not a group of scattered individuals. We can't split up just because of a disagreement. We should sit down and discuss things properly to find a way to both ensure safety and effectively break through the barrier."

Arya also stood up, her voice soft but firm: "Yun Yi is right. We can't let internal conflicts affect our unity and cooperation. Only by uniting as one can we overcome all difficulties. The Lingyun Pearl is right before our eyes. It belongs to each and every one of us, but it also requires the joint efforts of each and every one of us."

Kevin pondered for a moment, then spoke slowly, "Actually, both approaches have their merits. A cautious approach can ensure our safety, but it might waste time. A bold breakthrough might lead to a way to break through the barrier, but the risks are real. I think we can try a combination of these two approaches, which is neither completely risky nor completely conservative."

His words brightened everyone's eyes, and they all cast inquiring glances at him. Kevin continued, "We can first conduct some small-scale trials and tests to ensure our methods won't cause any harm. At the same time, we can also be bolder and try some new, potentially groundbreaking methods. This way, we can ensure safety while improving efficiency."

Yun Yi and Arya exchanged a smile, knowing Kevin had hit the nail on the head. They then began to lead the team members in a more in-depth discussion. Everyone expressed their opinions, some suggesting improvements to the testing method, others sharing their own insights into the new approach.

After intense debate and discussion, the expedition team finally reached a consensus. They decided to combine the advantages of both methods and adopt a more reliable and innovative approach to continue their attempts to break through the barrier. Everyone was assigned clear responsibilities: some would conduct small-scale tests, while others would explore new methods.

However, just as everyone was about to try again, a strange wave of spiritual energy suddenly broke the silence of the valley. Everyone involuntarily stopped what they were doing and looked at the source of the wave.

"This is..." Yun Yi muttered to himself in surprise.

A team member was standing not far away, a strange spiritual light condensed in his hand, the light flickering mysteriously in the night. His face was full of astonishment and confusion, as if he didn't understand why he had suddenly caused such a fluctuation.

"What's going on?" Arya asked curiously, with a hint of surprise in her voice.

The team member was stunned for a moment, then slowly spoke: "I... I was just trying a new spiritual power technique, trying to see if I could find a frequency that resonated with the barrier. I didn't expect it to cause such a fluctuation."

"A new spiritual power technique?" Kevin's eyes gleamed. "Can you tell me about it?"

The team member nodded and began to describe his new discovery in detail. The other team members gathered around, listening attentively, their faces filled with anticipation and curiosity. They knew that this unexpected discovery might be the key to breaking through the barrier...
