MTLNOVEL Chapter 772: You Ming Valley?
They decided to take a short break, then continue their journey as Immortal Cultivators.
After resting, Luo Chen and the other two decided to head to the Library Pavilion of the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion, where countless Ancient Tomes and secret techniques were collected, hoping to gain new inspirations for their cultivation.
In the Library Pavilion, bookshelves stood in rows, with Ancient Tomes piled high like mountains. Luo Chen, Qing Shuang, and Hong Ling each selected some books of interest and began to read. They immersed themselves in the ocean of knowledge, constantly absorbing the wisdom of their predecessors.
Just as they were reading attentively, a familiar voice sounded behind them: "You three, it seems your closed-door cultivation has been quite effective this time."
The three turned around to see that it was Elder Xuanjizi. They quickly stood up to greet him.
"Thank you for your concern, Elder. We have indeed gained much." Luo Chen replied respectfully.
Xuanjizi smiled and nodded, then said, "I've seen your efforts with my own eyes, but the path of an Immortal Cultivator is not just about closed-door cultivation. It also requires experience and combat. I have a task here that might be beneficial to you."
Upon hearing this, anticipation gleamed in their eyes.
They knew that any task given by Elder Xuanjizi would not be simple, but this was also an excellent opportunity to improve their cultivation and test their strength.
"Please enlighten us, Elder." Qing Shuang said seriously.
Xuanjizi took a scroll from his sleeve and handed it to Luo Chen, saying, "This is a mission to explore You Ming Valley, where some unusual occurrences have recently been happening. You are required to investigate."
Luo Chen took the scroll, opened it, and saw that it detailed the geographical location and known situations of You Ming Valley.
He nodded, indicating he understood the task's contents.
"Prepare yourselves, and set out first thing in the morning." Xuanjizi said and then left the Library Pavilion.
Luo Chen, Qing Shuang, and Hong Ling exchanged smiles, knowing that a new adventure was about to begin.
They viewed this mission as a rare opportunity for experience, deciding to give it their all.
Early the next morning, Luo Chen and his companions packed their belongings and embarked on the journey to You Ming Valley.
They knew that ahead awaited unknown challenges and opportunities.
But no matter what difficulties they encountered, they would overcome them together, believing that as long as they united, nothing was impossible.
On the way to You Ming Valley, Luo Chen and his companions traveled while exchanging their cultivation insights.
Their conversations were light-hearted and pleasant, occasionally filled with laughter.
This journey was not only a time for experience but also a chance for spiritual relaxation and joy.
After days of arduous travel, they finally arrived at the entrance of You Ming Valley.
You Ming Valley was located among a desolate mountain range, with its entrance shrouded year-round by a faint mist, making the entire valley appear eerie and mysterious.
The three stood at the valley entrance, shared a determined glance, and then stepped into You Ming Valley.
They knew that from this moment, they would face unknown challenges, but they also believed that as long as they united, they could overcome any difficulties.
Within You Ming Valley, gusts of Yin wind blew, occasionally bringing strange sounds.
The three advanced cautiously, remaining alert at all times.
They knew that in such a place, any carelessness could lead to fatal consequences.
Not long after they ventured deeper into the valley, suddenly, a fierce Yin wind attacked from ahead, accompanied by countless ghostly shadows.
The trio immediately assumed combat stances, ready to confront this unexpected assault.
"Be careful, these ghostly shadows seem to be formed from Yin Qi, they're very dangerous." Qing Shuang warned.
Luo Chen nodded, his gaze sharp as a blade, scanning the surroundings.
Hong Ling gripped her sword hilt tightly, the sword tip slightly quivering, seemingly waiting for the best attacking moment.
Qing Shuang closed his eyes, his Spiritual Sense becoming exceptionally keen at this moment, trying to perceive the ghostly shadows hidden within the Yin wind.
"We need to find the source of these ghostly shadows." Luo Chen said sternly, his voice standing firm in the Yin wind.
Hong Ling gently nodded, although her swordsmanship was agile, she too felt a hint of nervousness in this environment.
She knew these ghostly shadows were not ordinary Ghosts, their power far exceeded typical sinister entities.
Qing Shuang opened his eyes, revealing a hint of profound light.
"I can feel them, they seem to be coming from deeper within the valley, we must proceed cautiously."
The trio moved forward slowly, each step taken with extreme caution.
The Yin wind grew stronger, and the number of ghostly shadows increased, seemingly attempting to block Luo Chen and his companions' progress.
"These entities seem unwilling to let us venture deeper into the valley." Hong Ling said with a furrowed brow.
"That only confirms we're heading in the right direction."
Luo Chen replied, a determined glint in his eyes.
They continued onward, and the ghostly attacks became increasingly fierce.
Luo Chen wielded the Silver Moon Ice Blade, each swing accompanied by chilling air, freezing the approaching ghostly shadows into ice blocks.
Hong Ling's swordsmanship was like a dance, agile and deadly, each strike accurately hitting the vital points of the ghostly shadows.
Qing Shuang used the secret technique of Heavenly Mechanism Lock to construct defensive barriers, shielding them from the Yin wind and ghostly shadows' assaults.
After intense combat, they finally reached an open area.
The Yin Qi here was denser, and the ghostly shadows more concentrated.
