Han Li went to the Wanling Mountains, opened an Immortal Cave, and wholeheartedly Cultivated the Great Development Art.
Li Feiyu returned to the Five Elements Sect and had been in seclusion in Yue State until Old Freak Tianhen arrived one month before the miasma dissipated.
It was still the same matter as last time, but this time Old Freak Tianhen was with him.
Seeing Li Feiyu, Old Freak Tianhen's expression was not good, but he still tried his best to hold back.
Li Feiyu couldn't help but tease, "Old Freak Tianhen, how have you considered the matter I asked you to think about last time?"
Old Freak Tianhen snorted coldly, "I will find it myself, Elder Li doesn't need to worry."
Li Feiyu was the Grand Elder of the Five Elements Sect outside, so this address was correct.
Wei Wuya said, "Fellow Daoist Li, how have you considered the proposal from last time?"
"With Fellow Daoist Wei here, there is naturally an extra layer of assurance. As for the rest, how about we discuss it when we get there?"
"Very good."
Wei Wuya's Face showed a smile, "The time for the mist in the Wanling Mountains to dissipate is not far. Let's set off immediately."
"Also, I know that Fellow Daoist Li seems to have some grievances with the Ghost Spirit Sect, but on this trip, please, for my Face, do not trouble them."
"You even know about this. Alright, since you've said so, Li will give you Face."
"Thank you."
"You all wait a moment, I still need to bring some people. It shouldn't be a problem, right?"
Li Feiyu looked at Wei Wuya, and Wei Wuya naturally wouldn't object, "Fellow Daoist, please do as you wish."
The people who arrived were three Core Formation female Cultivators and Jin Yuan.
Wei Wuya immediately teased with a smile, "Going to such a dangerous place as the Devilfall Valley, Brother Li still wants to travel with beauties. It seems he has great confidence!"
"Brother Wei is joking. It's just that they insisted on coming along. They are all close friends, and it's safer for them to be by my side than to go alone."
"Just close friends? Confidantes would be more accurate, hahaha~"
After a period of joking, everyone flew towards the Eastern Domain State.
Upon arriving outside the Wanling Mountains, everyone saw that the miasma had not yet dissipated, so they casually chose a place to open Immortal Caves. Their Immortal Caves were close to each other.
At night, Li Feiyu went to visit Wei Wuya.
"Brother Wei, I'm very curious how the Ghost Spirit Sect convinced you to go to the Devilfall Valley with them. You should only be interested in Deity Transformation, right?"
Wei Wuya glanced at Li Feiyu and smiled slightly.
"Fellow Daoist is truly quick-witted. Indeed, the Ghost Spirit Sect's actions this time are for the Lingmiao Garden, which is mentioned in ancient legends."
"Lingmiao Garden? Does it really exist?!"
Li Feiyu looked quite curious, though he already knew about it in his heart.
"I haven't seen it, so I can't believe it either. However, the Ghost Spirit Sect has dispatched most of its manpower and expended a lot of effort this time, so perhaps they really have discovered some clues."
"Haha, Brother Wei, you've told me such a secret. Aren't you afraid I'll snatch the fortune of Lingmiao Garden?"
"The Devilfall Valley is full of dangers. The Ghost Spirit Sect is treating me as a thug. Since it's a fortune, then naturally everyone can obtain it."
"Perhaps I might even need Brother Li's help inside."
Li Feiyu smiled, "Brother Wei thinks so highly of me, so I won't be pretentious. If there's a need, I will help you."
"However, after entering the valley, it should be a random teleportation. I also need to find some things I need first. Only after dealing with these can I meet up with Brother Wei."
"That's fine. Currently, I also don't know where Lingmiao Garden is. Listening to them, they also need to search carefully. Brother Li can do as he pleases. When it's found, I will send you a message with the specific location."
"Then I thank Brother Wei."
"It seems Old Wei is still someone I can deal with." Li Feiyu thought for a moment. The place Han Li and the others were going in the Devilfall Valley seemed to have Flying Purple Patterned Scorpions, which were highly poisonous spiritual insects. Old Wei should like them.
He could bring one as a greeting gift then.
There was also the gangyin sand mine, which was also a top-grade Material that was almost extinct in the Heavenly South now. He couldn't miss it.
There were indeed many people who came this time. All four major forces almost had people come. Although the Nine Nations Union did not send a large number of Cultivators, many Nascent Soul Stage Old Monsters had hidden their figures and rushed over.
The opening of the Devilfall Valley was a once-in-a-millennium opportunity, and none of them wanted to miss it.
Especially those Old Monsters whose Lifespan was nearing its limit.
Medicinal Pills or Spirit Medicine that could increase Lifespan were almost extinct in the Heavenly South. The only place they might exist was this extremely dangerous Devilfall Valley.
The Devilfall Valley was located in the northwest of the Wanling Mountains, covering an area of 100,000 Li. Its surroundings and sky were covered with layers of Restrictions, each extremely powerful and interconnected, making them impossible to break.
The only place without Restrictions was the entrance to the Devilfall Valley, which was a narrow passage 100 zhang wide and dozens of Li long.
This passage could originally be easily passed, but due to the ancient Cultivators' battles affecting this place, the passage was covered with dense spatial cracks.
Some emitted white light, some were dim, and some could not be detected by the naked eye or Divine Sense. Some were even more than ten zhang wide, and one could be swallowed whole if not careful.
From ancient times to the present, thousands and tens of thousands of immortal Cultivators have died in this passage.
Now, the Ghost Spirit Sect had found a way to bypass the passage and enter the valley, which naturally attracted a swarm of people.
Two weeks later, the poisonous mist and miasma in the Wanling Mountains finally dissipated.
Everyone rushed towards the Devilfall Valley passage. In a short while, thousands of Cultivators gathered within a thousand zhang radius of the entrance, with dozens of Nascent Soul Old Monsters among them.
Even the Mulan Dharma Idols had arrived. The people who came were the Dharma Idol surnamed Zhong and Master Le in green robes.
Wei Wuya and Li Feiyu did not act together. They flew with Old Freak Tianhen towards the Ghost Spirit Sect's group.
Seeing Han Li appear, Li Feiyu sent him a Divine Sense message, "Why aren't you with Marquis Nanlong and the others?"
"Listening to them, it seems the Ghost Spirit Sect's method is safer. To be safe, I plan to enter the valley through their method and then rush to meet up."
"So that's how it is."
Li Feiyu didn't ask further. At this time, the Ghost Spirit Sect members had already begun to set up the Formation.
Once completed, Wang Tiangu's figure flickered, appearing in the center of the Formation. He patted the Storage Pouch at his waist with one hand and flipped his hand to take out a jade box.
He carefully opened it, and a golden-yellow Spirit Stone appeared in the box. This Spirit Stone was crystal clear, emitting astonishing Spiritual Qi fluctuations the moment the box was opened.
"High-grade Spirit Stone!"
Someone in the crowd couldn't help but exclaim.
Li Feiyu was indifferent. High-grade Spirit Stones were indeed rare, and even Nascent Soul Stage Cultivators wouldn't use them casually.
Most were collected and stored by large Sects. It was very difficult to even see one on the market in the Heavenly South, which also led to the high exchange rate of high-grade Spirit Stones.
In terms of Spiritual Qi concentration, it was normally one high-grade Spirit Stone for one hundred mid-grade Spirit Stones, but in reality, no one would exchange it even for a thousand.
Li Feiyu pouted.
Although he didn't have many high-grade Spirit Stones, he had collected them for many years, and after excavating that top-grade Spirit Stone mine, he still had several thousand.
It was just that top-grade Spirit Stones were still too few.
Wang Tiangu placed the high-grade Spirit Stone in the center of the Formation. Then, everyone exited the Formation. Under the command of a middle-aged Cultivator, everyone held a light yellow Formation Flag in their hands and began to activate it.
That middle-aged Cultivator was none other than Wang Tiansheng, the Sect Leader of the Ghost Spirit Sect.
He slowly ascended into the sky, his cold gaze sweeping over everyone before he spoke, "I am Wang Tiansheng, the Sect Leader of the Ghost Spirit Sect. I don't want to say much more nonsense. The teleportation Formation for entering the valley has already been set up."
"This Formation is a special one-way teleportation Formation developed by several Formation Great Masters in my Sect after years of contemplation. It can directly teleport people from the valley entrance to a certain location in the outer valley of the Devilfall Valley."
"This Formation has a limited number of people it can teleport. Regardless of identity, anyone with my Ghost Spirit Sect's Fallen Devil Token can be teleported. If you don't have one and try to fish in troubled waters, don't blame this Sect for being impolite!"
He snorted coldly, and a strong gust of wind erupted from his body, blowing in all directions.
"This Sect will only teleport everyone in at the very end. By then, the Formation will also be destroyed."
The Ghost Spirit Sect Leader's remarks caused many of the thousands of Cultivators present to discuss in low voices.
"There are only a few hundred Fallen Devil Tokens in total, so aren't we hopeless to enter?"
"As expected, it's not that simple. If you want to enter, you can only take a risk."
"Forget it, it seems this Devilfall Valley is not meant for me!"
...
Everyone had different thoughts.
But the Devilfall Valley entrance passage was indeed an insurmountable chasm for the Cultivators, even for Nascent Soul Cultivators.
Trying to brave this path was a nine-deaths-one-life endeavor.
Li Feiyu had two Fallen Devil Tokens, which Wei Wuya had given him. He used one himself and gave one to Jin Yuan.
As for Zi Ling and the others, they had already made preparations.
With a slight display of their beauty and revealing their true appearance, they enchanted the Disciples of the Ghost Spirit Sect, not only obtaining Fallen Devil Tokens but also learning the approximate location of the Spirit candle fruit.
To prove the usability of the teleportation Formation, the Ghost Spirit Sect arranged for a Nascent Soul Elder and his son, Young Master Wang Chan, to be the first to be teleported.
Besides proving it, they also had the plan of striking first.
That Nascent Soul Elder among them was assigned a special task.
This teleportation Formation had a relatively simple function, only able to teleport three people at a time.
Batch after batch of people entered the Devilfall Valley, and Li Feiyu and his group also walked over.
Wang Tiansheng immediately stepped forward upon seeing them, "Fellow Daoist Li, Fellow Daoist Jin Yuan, I didn't expect you all to come here as well."
"I'm quite interested in the Devilfall Valley, so I came to join the fun."
Li Feiyu casually tossed five tokens to Wang Tiansheng.
"Confirmed. Which Fellow Daoists will go first?"
Li Feiyu had Jin Yuan, Zi Ling, and Yuan Yao go first, with himself and Yaoer entering later.
This arrangement was made because he considered that those teleported in the same batch would likely be together.
With Jin Yuan there, Zi Ling and the others' safety could be somewhat guaranteed, and they also had the strength to search for treasures.
After entering the valley, Li Feiyu surveyed his surroundings. He and Yaoer were on a small hill with dense vegetation.
"Is this the infamous Devilfall Valley? It doesn't look special at all."
Li Feiyu smiled and said, "This is just the beginning. The Devilfall Valley spans ten thousand Li, and some dangers aren't obvious."
Li Feiyu swept his Divine Sense across a hundred-Li radius, then used his Spiritual Eye Divine Ability to scan his surroundings and the sky.
Suddenly, his pupils contracted slightly.
"Watch carefully."
Li Feiyu waved his palm, and a golden elemental Spiritual Power whip lashed out, snapping a dozen trees in front of them.
He then used Divine Sense to control the trees, sending them flying high into the sky and a Li ahead.
Silently, some of the trees were cut in half, while others completely vanished into the air.
Yaoer covered her mouth lightly, her beautiful eyes filled with surprise.
"You can actually detect those hard-to-notice spatial cracks?!"
"If I wasn't prepared, would I rashly enter the valley?"
"Let's go, we'll head west first."
Yaoer looked around. No matter how she used her Divine Sense to investigate, she just couldn't find those spatial cracks.
After a slight sigh, she closely followed Li Feiyu, flying westward.
They dared not fly too fast or too high along the way. If they couldn't stop in time and crashed into a spatial crack, that would be embarrassing!
As for high in the sky, it was densely packed with terrifying ancient Restrictions.
Li Feiyu also dared not force his way through.
A few days later, Li Feiyu and his group arrived in the west, seeing two people standing on a small hill covered with brown rocks ahead.
When they saw the newcomers, they were first happy, then their expressions changed.
Marquis Nanlong sent a Divine Sense message to Elder Lu of the Tianji Sect beside him, "Why is he here?"
"How would I know? Anyway, I didn't reveal anything. Perhaps it's a coincidence."
Li Feiyu pretended not to know and flew over, asking, "How do I address you two Fellow Daoists?"
"I am Marquis Nanlong, and this is Elder Lu of the Tianji Sect."
Marquis Nanlong smiled and said, "Fellow Daoist Li, why have you come here?"
"I received some information that there's something I want here, so I came to look for it. You two... your purpose for this trip isn't the same as mine, is it?"
"How about we go together?"
"From your expressions, it seems you're waiting for someone."
Just then, a green rainbow flew from a distance, not fast, appearing quite cautious.
Before long, the Escape Light arrived beside them.
Seeing Li Feiyu, Han Li's expression was extremely strange. Didn't they agree to meet up after he finished his business?
He could run into him anywhere, how strange!
They had originally agreed to find the Spirit candle fruit together after each of them finished their tasks, but now it seemed...
Never mind, Senior Brother Li must have his own purpose for coming here.
Li Feiyu, as the foremost person in the Heavenly South, was renowned, so Marquis Nanlong and Elder Lu naturally dared not offend him and could only go with him.
Everyone flew for half a day and then arrived at the outer side of the inner valley.
Not far ahead, a blood-light Restriction enveloped a vast area.
Marquis Nanlong warned, "That's the inner valley. The blood-light is extremely powerful, so never touch it casually."
After passing through here, it would be the inner valley of the Devilfall Valley.
The so-called inner valley actually referred to an area enclosed by even more powerful ancient Restrictions.
Compared to the outer valley, it was naturally more important, with more treasures and Spirit Medicine.
There was more than one path leading to the inner valley. After a quick search in the outer valley, one could easily find a dozen or so passages of varying sizes. However, these passages were all heavily restricted, and to pass through, one could only slowly wear down the passage Restrictions.
It was extremely difficult!
If one could wear them down, it would be fine, but one wrong move could lead to a backlash from the Restriction, resulting in death and the dissipation of one's Dao.
