As Mio, Lin Xiao, and the celestial beast attempted to tap into the magic contained within the stone, they encountered an unexpected barrier.
Waves of energy surged through the chamber, disrupting their attempts to harness the power of the artifact.
"It's as if there's some sort of interference," Mio remarked, frustration evident in her voice. "I can't seem to focus my magic properly."
Lin Xiao nodded in agreement, his brow furrowed in concentration. "I sense it too. It's like there's a force field surrounding us, preventing us from accessing the magic within the stone."
The celestial beast growled softly, its instincts warning of danger lurking in the shadows. With a sense of urgency, they examined the runes once more, searching for any clue that might explain their predicament.
"It must be the work of the Ancient Seal," Lin Xiao speculated, his mind racing with possibilities. "The negative earth energy of the Sixty-Fourth Hexagram is interfering with our ability to cast spells."
Mio's eyes widened as she realized the implications of their discovery. "If we can't break through the seal, then we'll never be able to use the magic stone to its full potential."
Determined not to be deterred, they focused their energies on finding a solution. With each passing moment, the barrier seemed to strengthen, but they refused to give up hope.
"We need to find a way to neutralize the negative energy," Lin Xiao declared, his voice tinged with determination. "There must be a way to break free from this ancient curse and unlock the true power of the magic stone."
With renewed resolve, they continued their search, knowing that their success depended on their ability to overcome the formidable obstacles that lay before them.
