Chapter 105: Chapter 105 Number 36

"Listen to me, the longest survival record in Jue Ming Valley is five months. Your father has already been there for six months. It’s hard to say, but hope is very slim," Long Xingjian said seriously to Mu Can, hoping to stop him.

It was his own flesh and blood that was in the valley, how could Mu Can simply give up.

"Uncle, please don’t try to persuade me anymore, I have made up my mind," he replied firmly.

There are some things that must be persevered with. Once Mu Can decides on something, he will definitely do it.

Seeing that he couldn’t persuade Mu Can to change his mind, Long Xingjian took out a Jade Pendant from his chest and handed it to Mu Can.

"What is this?" Mu Can asked, taking the Jade Pendant with a puzzled look.

"Jue Ming Valley is a very mysterious place, the level of mystery inside will exceed your imagination. This Jade Pendant contains some secrets known by the Long Family, but you can only crush it after you enter," Long Xingjian said with a look of pain as he handed over the Jade Pendant.

Actually, Long Xingjian also had his own calculations. With Mu Can’s strength, there might really be a possibility that he could survive. In his nearly twenty years as Family Head, no cultivator had survived, and he hoped Mu Can would be the first.

"Are you entering the valley?" Long Yunyun, having lived here since she was young, obviously knew how dangerous Jue Ming Valley was and did not want Mu Can to take the risk.

Mu Can looked at Long Yunyun and nodded. He must enter Jue Ming Valley.

Having spent quite some time together, Long Yunyun knew Mu Can’s temperament and did not try to stop him anymore, but she cautioned him again.

"Can I enter the valley today?" Mu Can was getting impatient. The valley was so dangerous, he wondered if Mu Zi Ang was still alive.

"Yes," Long Xingjian no longer hindered him, as he had already given out the Jade Pendant, he had made a big bet on Mu Can.

"Pass down the order, prepare to open the valley," Long Xingjian told a waiting servant.

Every opening of the valley was a major event for the Long Family, who, as the guardians of Jue Ming Valley, had sent countless people in.

After a brief preparation, Long Xingjian led Mu Can alone into the valley.

Mu Can had wanted to leave his pet Xiaofuqi with Long Yunyun, but found that Xiaofuqi, who usually loved sleeping in Long Yunyun’s arms, insisted on following him this time. No matter what, it just clung to his shoulder, refusing to leave.

Having no choice, Mu Can had to bring Xiaofuqi with him into the valley.

As the forbidden area of the Long Family, apart from the Clan Leader and cultivators who wished to enter, no one else could come within half a step of Jue Ming Valley. This was also the reason many cultivators chose to risk entering the valley to evade their enemies.

The entrance to the valley was guarded by members of the Elder Council of the Long Family, who were unconcerned with worldly affairs, merely guarding this place.

Mu Can briefly looked at the entrance; just on the surface, there were three elders with the strength of Martial Venerates.

The hidden strength of the Long Family was indeed astonishing.

After Long Xingjian showed the Clan Leader’s order, the elders of the Long Family allowed the two of them to pass.

"Although it is called a valley, the real Jue Ming Valley is not here," Long Xingjian explained upon seeing the confused look in Mu Can’s eyes after they entered the valley.

Why Mu Can looked doubtful was because the space inside Jue Ming Valley was not vast; both had already reached the deepest part of the valley, but still had not entered the valley itself.

"This is the place," Long Xingjian led Mu Can to an altar at the deepest part of Jue Ming Valley.

"A teleportation altar?" Purple Cloud suddenly spoke, not knowing what she had been busy with inside the Reincarnation Pearl.

"This is a teleportation altar; the real Jue Ming Valley is not in this valley but hidden within a secret realm. Therefore, the rumors that there are ruins in Jue Ming Valley are incorrect," Long Xingjian patiently explained to Mu Can.

Mu Can nodded, but he felt that this teleportation altar looked somewhat familiar and observed it closely.

"Yunyun, why does this teleportation altar look the same as the one used for receiving the Dragon Clan’s inheritance?" Mu Can curiously asked, wondering if there was any connection between the two.

"These altars are generally products of the same era; it’s just unknown where this particular altar leads to," Purple Cloud also curiously examined the altar.

Although she was the Supreme of the Immortal World, she was not very familiar with many of the secrets hidden within the Mortal World.

"After you enter, crush the Jade Pendant immediately and read the contents inside," Long Xingjian saw Mu Can standing on the altar, ready to proceed, and lightly slit his palm.

Blood dripped from his palm onto a mysterious statue on the altar.

"With blood as the guide, activate." The moment the blood dripped onto the statue, the altar was instantly activated.

The next moment, Mu Can’s figure had disappeared from the altar.

"I hope you can come back alive," Long Xingjian looked at the now empty altar, his expression complex.

Mu Can only felt a lightness in his body, as if floating in the air.

The next moment, his feet touched solid ground.

"Is this Jue Ming Valley?" Mu Can looked around at his environment; he was now in the midst of a forest.

A beam of golden light struck down from the sky and hit Mu Can, who fell to the ground before he could even react, showing just how fast the golden light was.

Xiao Fuqi, seeing Mu Can pass out, worriedly crawled to his side, licking Mu Can’s face repeatedly with its little tongue.

It wasn’t long before Mu Can slowly woke up, wiped his face, and found it sticky with Xiao Fuqi’s saliva.

Just as he was about to feel for Xiao Fuqi, a voice rang in his ear.

"Contestant recommended by the Mortal World Long Family, welcome to the Death Space. Your task is to strive to survive and become the only person who stays alive."

"Who are you?" Mu Can, thanks to Purple Cloud, had already developed immunity to sudden voices in his mind, so he was not at all panicked.

"I am your assistant in the Death Space; you can call me Number Thirty-six." Mu Can felt oddly about hearing this voice.

Having Purple Cloud already residing in his Sea of Consciousness was weird enough, and now there was an additional Number Thirty-six.

"Yunyun, can you hear this person speaking?" Mu Can asked.

"I can hear him; he seems to be a type of Spiritual Artifact within your body, not in the Sea of Consciousness." Reincarnation Pearl stationed in Mu Can’s Sea of Consciousness had never seen any treasure bold enough to appear there that could rival the Reincarnation Pearl.

"Number Thirty-six, where are you?" Mu Can asked, knowing.

In the conversation with Number Thirty-six, Mu Can felt that Number Thirty-six’s intelligence didn’t seem particularly high.

"I am in your ear," Number Thirty-six responded.

Mu Can sensed slightly and discovered a small grain-sized object adhering inside his ear canal.

It seemed that this was Number Thirty-six.
