If it were any other heir of the Nine Heavens, Long Yi might have casually encountered them and they wouldn’t have said much, but if it were the one from Netherworld Heaven, there was a ninety percent chance of a lesson, or even bloodshed!

This was the reason why Long Yi, upon detecting that familiar aura, did not dare to approach and instead chose to quietly leave.

"This time after emerging from seclusion, I specifically want to see what level my strength has reached. Heirs of the Nine Heavens make for a very good practical target," Gu Chen said with a calm expression, his gaze indifferent.

Upon hearing this, Long Yi was instantly taken aback. Gu Chen actually wanted to spar with a heir of the Nine Heavens?!

He hurriedly said, "Young Master, please think thrice. Although I acknowledge your strength is formidable, the heirs of the Nine Heavens not only have talents not inferior to you, but they also have a temporal advantage. Furthermore, the heir from Netherworld Heaven is indeed not an easy opponent."

Gu Chen looked at Long Yi and said, "Then would you be willing to simply hand over everything in the Valley of Ten Thousand Saints?"

"This..." Those words made Long Yi hesitate.

Indeed, the Valley of Ten Thousand Saints was discovered by a Master Su of the Gemini Clan in his youth. Although it’s not as glorious as it once was, it still holds no small opportunities.

Seeing this, Gu Chen continued, "Rest assured, with my strength, even if I’m not victorious, retreating should be no issue, right?"

Long Yi pondered, and finally, after giving Gu Chen a look, he gritted his teeth and said, "Fine, let’s make a journey!"

"Good." Gu Chen nodded in approval.

Since there was about half a month before the sacred sites of the divine realm would open, Gu Chen and his companions set out directly, led by Long Yi, toward the Valley of Ten Thousand Saints.

The place was roughly twelve thousand miles from City of Light. With the speed of Gu Chen and the others, it wouldn’t take too long to reach.

During the journey, Gu Chen also glanced at the storage magical item that Princess Xidie had given him. It contained many divine medicines that he could use should he break through to the heaven realm in the future.

"Be careful, we’re about to enter the domain of the Valley of Ten Thousand Saints," Long Yi said in a low voice.

Hearing this, Gu Chen and the others immediately gazed into the distance, vaguely spotting the outline of a valley.

Of course, because Gu Chen was born with the Fourth Grade Heavenly Eye, he could see much farther and clearer.

But a distance of a thousand miles, in his eyes, was not much different from being close at hand.

In his vision, that valley was extraordinary, covering a wide area and enveloped in sacred light, protected by powerful guardian formations.

In the ancient divine realm, Valley of Ten Thousand Saints was naturally a place of great importance.

As expected, the next moment, Long Yi also said, "Everyone be cautious, there are formations in the Valley of Ten Thousand Saints, always stay alert."

Gu Chen and the others nodded in agreement.

Soon, a vast valley appeared before them. Though it was but a valley, Yun Zishu and others felt an overwhelming grandeur about it, as if they were facing a giant city.

"There are many orchards within," Gu Chen’s eyes flickered with mystic symbols for a brief moment.

The Fourth Grade Heavenly Eye was exceptionally powerful; even the formations of the Valley of Ten Thousand Saints were somewhat transparent to him, revealing much of what was inside.

Within the valley, divine medicines filled the ground, and spiritual medicines of several thousand years in age were not uncommon—in fact, there were many!

As for the deepest parts, a thin mist shrouded them, but without a doubt, divine medicines were concealed within.

"This place is indeed secluded," Gu Qingyan scanned her surroundings with her ice-blue pupils, noting the lost zone around the Valley of Ten Thousand Saints upon their arrival, covered by invisible formations that disoriented one’s sense of direction.

Had it not been for Long Yi, who was privy to this area, leading them, aside from Gu Chen, it would have been difficult for others to discover this place.

"We can enter now, but be vigilant. While the Valley of Ten Thousand Saints is open, we must also be cautious of the formations, and there are some unknown dangers inside," Long Yi warned.

Then, under Gu Chen’s lead, they entered the so-called Valley of Ten Thousand Saints.

With the Heavenly Eye to aid them, Gu Chen and his companions avoided triggering some formation nodes, and on the outskirts, they encountered many spiritual trees, with Yun Zishu and Zhen Yuan harvesting many spiritual medicines.

For Gu Chen and Long Yi, spiritual medicines were of limited impact, so they didn’t pay much attention.

But for Yun Zishu, Zhen Yuan, along with Gu Qingyan and Princess Xidie, spiritual medicines were still beneficial. As they ventured deeper, each of them could truly say it was a fruitful harvest.

"This is worthy of a divine realm, to contain such wondrous places," exclaimed Yun Zishu. Under Gu Chen’s guidance, he effortlessly collected a great number of spiritual medicines that could significantly enhance his strength.

Zhen Yuan felt similarly, nodding with a sense of emotion.

Even elsewhere in the divine realm, finding such an abundance of spiritual medicines would not have been easy.

"Be cautious, we’re about to enter a deeper area," Long Yi spoke, his expression growing more serious.

As they went further, the age of the spiritual medicines increased, evolving from the initial few thousand years to nearly ten thousand years.

"Watch out!"

At that moment, Long Yi spoke up. There was movement around a large stone not far away, and it turned out to be a living creature!

"An ancient indigenous creature of the divine realm?!" Yun Zishu and Zhen Yuan’s faces changed abruptly.

"Roar!"

The stone being let out an angry roar and was about to strike at Zhen Yuan, who was nearest. Its strength had reached the pinnacle of the Unification Realm, beyond what Zhen Yuan could handle.

"Retreat!"

Long Yi shouted, ready to intervene, but someone else reacted even faster—Gu Chen!

With a loud bang, the stone being had only time to let out a roar. Before it could act, Gu Chen effortlessly slapped it into dust.

"Two thousand eight hundred merit point value," Gu Chen glanced briefly at the panel.

By the merit points, the stone being’s strength was not weak within the Unification Realm, second only to the top personally-taught disciples of an Undying-level doctrine.

Yet still, it was slain by Gu Chen with a single stroke, dead beyond doubt.

Long Yi was shaken and gave Gu Chen a look but said nothing else.

Just then, Gu Chen’s ears twitched as he looked towards the depths of the valley, "Do you hear anything?"

"What sound?" Yun Zishu and the others were startled.

"Black Gold Ants!" declared Gu Chen, his eyes sharp, as he saw a dark mass like a cloud racing towards them from the depths of the Valley of Ten Thousand Saints.

"Black Gold Ants?!" Long Yi’s face drained of color upon hearing this.

Buzzz!

Soon, with a piercing buzzing sound, the "dark cloud" seen by Gu Chen swooped towards their group, and their expressions changed drastically!
