Chapter 504: Chapter 502: Gu God? Valley God! (Make up for the missing updates 42)_1

"This..."

Lord Hei Xuan looked at the sky-piercing phenomenon and the surrounding illusory images of the secret realm, resembling a mirage, and couldn’t help feeling an urgent panic, "With the secret realm opening, why is the phenomenon so great? How can we cover this up? I’m afraid nearby cultivators will discover it soon, and it won’t be long before the news reaches the Sacred Fire Sect..."

Master Biyu’s expression also appeared somewhat grim, "I only knew that activating the God Bewitching Order could open the gateway to the secret realm, how could I have known it would be like this?"

At this moment, around the earthen yellow column of light, one after another mirage-like phantoms appeared, depicting scenes of an oasis, most likely a glint of the secret realm.

First to catch the eyes of the three lords was an archway-like structure, standing tall.

It was pure white in colour, with ancient seal script in black on it.

"Valley God Secret Realm?"

After some scrutiny, Lord Hei Xuan was somewhat bewildered, "Valley God... Worm God? Could this be the name of a notorious worm cultivator?"

"Valley God?"

Fan Yin looked at this scene, but her expression suddenly changed.

Seeing this, Master Biyu could not help but smile slightly, "If Sir Fan knows something, please feel free to speak out. Now that we are in this together, naturally, should we come upon fortunate opportunities, Sir Fan will be given the priority to choose..."

"This..."

Fan Yin waited until Lord Hei Xuan also agreed to this proposal and then spoke hesitantly, "I have only read in an ancient book of worm cultivation that ’Valley God’ is a very old term, seemingly related to the beliefs of worm cultivators... Perhaps through a series of misinterpretations, Valley God later evolved into ’Worm God,’ referring to powerful divine skill practitioners among worm cultivators..."

"Regardless of whether this place is the God Worm Secret Realm or the Valley God Secret Realm, we must enter it anyway."

Master Biyu nodded, then suddenly his eyes sparked a change, as he stared intently at that piece of mirage.

A scene within the mirage emerged.

There was a patch of bamboo as green as emeralds, each stalk dripping with vitality, and the leaves faintly lined with golden veins, forming an odd rune.

"Nine Hearts Qingjing Bamboo? Such a vast expanse?"

Lord Hei Xuan’s eyes also bulged in astonishment, "Such Heaven and Earth Spirit Roots have already vanished from the outside world, and it is even said that the Mysterious Light transformed from this Qingjing Bamboo is particularly lethal to the Monster Clan... Its emergence now, could it be a sign of fate?"

The various sceneries within the mirage passed by swiftly.

Among them was an eerie and terrifying underground Blood River, snow-capped mountains, and an endless grassland...

It seemed that all sorts of peculiar terrains could be found within the secret realm.

With the secret realm mimicking the wonders of the world, it often nurtures some heavenly treasures and special odd worms!

"That, that is..."

Fan Yin, gazing at the last scene featuring a pitch-black mountain shaped like a cauldron, became so excited that she was nearly at a loss for words.

"Sir Fan recognizes that place?"

Master Biyu immediately inquired.

"That last mountain resembles the arrangements within our Sect’s Worm Producing Cave; it must contain many precious worms inside..."

Fan Yin regained her composure and answered earnestly.

However, her heart was trembling: ’Sky Disk Mountain... the famed sacred worm cultivation site of Sky Disk Mountain, it actually lies within the Valley God Secret Realm... Could the rumors also be true? Above the Sky Disk Mountain, there exist worms that surpass the Golden Silkworm Worm?’

Among the myriad of worms, the Golden Silkworm reigns as king!

Any worm cultivator capable of refining a Golden Silkworm Worm is an unparalleled genius, with hopes of ascending to the Nascent Soul stage!

Yet in ancient times, there were rumors of some special worms that could be refined to the fifth stage!

Fan Yin had always regarded it as a myth, but she never expected to truly witness Sky Disk Mountain one day!

’If I could refine a fifth stage worm, wouldn’t I have a chance of becoming a Transcendent God?’

’Even if the Transcendent God is unattainable, at least I could advance to become a great cultivator!’

Fan Yin’s eyes flickered with varied radiance.

Although she was a true genius among worm cultivators, after reaching the Nascent Soul stage, she felt that her potential had been exhausted.

Virtually all Nascent Soul cultivators, after reaching the Nascent Soul stage, can no longer advance their cultivation through sheer hard work alone.

At this point, what mainly counts is opportunity!

’The Valley God Secret Realm, it must be my opportunity!’

’Once I become a great cultivator, those who have humiliated me must all pay the price!’

Fan Yin’s eyes swept over Master Biyu and Lord Hei Xuan, though without a trace.

Meanwhile, the two lords had recovered from their shock as well.

Master Biyu said, "The gateway seems to have opened..."

"Fortune favors the bold, let’s go!"

With a word from Lord Hei Xuan, a small pitch-black boat flew out of his mouth, its body faintly covered in dragon scales, evidently crafted from high-grade Flood Dragon materials.

"Although this ’Black Kau Boat’ is fashioned from common materials, it still possesses some Void ability."

Lord Hei Xuan explained, then leaped onto the small boat.

The Black Kau Boat turned into a streak of black light, shooting straight into the centre of the earthen yellow column of light.

Seeing Lord Hei Xuan take such action, Fan Yin couldn’t stand being left behind and quickly brought out a worm.

The worm resembled a pair of wings, which upon her refining, sprouted a pair of green feathered wings on her back. With just a light flutter, she performed the Wind Escape Skill and entered into the column of light.

Master Biyu mutttered, "Given extraordinary phenomena of the secret realm, it seems impossible to conceal with an Array... Never mind..."

He maneuvered a jade-green ruler, transforming into a verdant Escape Light, and likewise entered the column of light.

After the three lords had all entered the secret realm, in the Void, Golden Light flashed as Master Golden Light appeared, watching the scenes of the mirage. Despite being shaken, he ultimately chanted a Buddhist mantra, turned into a golden jiao dragon, and flew in as well.

Not long after, streaks of light appeared in the sky, revealing a group of Foundation Establishment cultivators.

Ahead was a Core Formation cultivator, who, upon seeing this phenomenon, quickly said something to the people around him.

Immediately, he charged into the ochre light pillar without looking back.

A portion of Foundation Establishment cultivators flew backwards, likely to report back to their family or sect.

And many more cultivators followed that Core Formation cultivator, rushing into the Valley God Secret Realm.

For cultivators, it is utter despair on the Taoist path that is the most terrifying.

Therefore, they must cling tightly to every opportunity that comes their way!

...

A hundred miles away.

When Fang Xi’s Divine Consciousness swept over the area, he caught a glimpse of this scene.

"Valley God Secret Realm?"

"Interesting!"

As his Divine Consciousness spread out, he also saw some lower-level cultivators directly fighting and killing for treasures at the entrance of the Secret Realm...

All kinds of corpses and bloodshed were everywhere, turning into a terrible chaos.

Fang Xi couldn’t be bothered with that mess, his Divine Consciousness sweeping over those mirage-like scenes.

"Nine Hearts Qingjing Bamboo, Thousand-Year Thunder Fruit... Indeed, there’s no shortage of good stuff."

The mirage-like images kept repeating the scenes from before, as if they were meant to attract cultivators to come forth.

Fang Xi initially took it as a joke, until he caught sight of that underground Blood River, which slightly moved him: "Such an environment could possibly produce Blood River Stones..."

As he pondered, there seemed to be a blurry shadow that briefly flitted through that Blood River. Although it was extremely swift, his Nascent Soul cultivator’s Divine Consciousness still managed to capture it...

Fang Xi stroked his chin: "Clearing a level? Ever since my transmigration, I’ve only been to the Evergreen Garden Secret Land..."

"A treasure land like this is naturally... not to be missed!"

He scoffed, fully determined that he definitely wouldn’t go down into the Secret Realm.

Who knows what dangers lie within the Secret Realm?

What if it’s a giant trap?

"Instead of taking the risk to enter, it’s better to simply lie in wait outside, ready to rob or kill based on the situation..."

"After all, an average Nascent Soul cultivator is no match for me."

With that thought, Fang Xi no longer felt in a hurry, and leisurely rode on the White Jade Toad as if watching a play.

Suddenly, he raised an eyebrow: "That’s not quite right... I can’t guarantee that the Nascent Souls coming out will definitely be carrying Blood River Stones, which actually complicates things."

...

The Nine States.

Flying Rice Research Institute.

Boom, boom, boom!

The Flying Rice Printer roared, and from it flew out a fist-sized semi-transparent bead.

Within the bead, one could faintly see pavilions, towers, and palaces of the Immortals...

Professor Huo Yunzi stood aside, looking at Zhang Huohua with a hint of doubt: "Since you have a personal written command from Master Ghost Axe, I will do this job for you for free... This ’Mysterious Bead’ has been upgraded and modified. Now its internal nano-factory has been fully upgraded to the Flying Rice level, and can be renamed ’Mysterious Eight Scenery Beads’!"

He really wanted to ask where Zhang Huohua’s life-bound magical artifact, the Green Barley Sword, had gone.

However, considering Master Ghost Axe’s ambiguous attitude, he held back.

"Thank you!"

Fang Xi held the "Mysterious Eight Scenery Beads" in one hand without a hint of embarrassment on his face: "I’ll also need to use the professor’s energy furnace to charge up the beads before I go..."

"Hmph... I knew it, without an energy source, your kind of Flying Rice magical artifact is useless."

Huo Yunzi snorted coldly: "You must have learned your lesson from the last design, right? I advise you to recast that Green Barley Sword as soon as possible and stick to recharging it properly. What’s all this about energy grooves? Do you think you’re so wealthy that you can play around with several top-quality Spirit Stones?"

Fang Xi smiled, letting Huo Yunzi rant.

Once he got the Mysterious Eight Scenery Beads fully charged, he immediately returned to his Dongfu.

Then...

A Silver Light flashed.

The Heterodox Nascent Soul appeared before Fang Xi.

It held a Mysterious Bead in its hands, and there was a faint red line on its brow, which then dived into the ’Feng Shisan’ puppet.

The Blue-Horned Silver Arm Marionette was just a fourth-tier low-grade product, with too many ties to the Five Elements Qilin Tribe in the Western Desert.

Feng Shisan was somewhat better, with a fourth-tier mid-grade Cultivation!

The Heterodox Nascent Soul turned into a Demon Light, piercing through Feng Shisan’s Heavenly Spirit.

After a moment, Feng Shisan opened his lively eyes and formed a hand seal.

Crackling sounds followed!

His facial features instantly shifted, changing into an utterly unremarkable face.

As the Heterodox Nascent Soul willed, the Mysterious Bead transformed into a liquid layer, covering the face and becoming a silver-white sci-fi mask.

"You go first... I’ll be guarding right at the entrance of the Secret Realm."

Fang Xi assigned the task, and upon seeing the Heterodox Nascent Soul do this, he contemplated further and slapped his seat, the White Jade Toad.

The Five Fire Worm immediately came to the Heterodox Nascent Soul’s side: "This appears to be a worm cultivator’s Secret Realm, take this worm with you, it might be useful..."

The Five Fire Worm, with its formidable strength capable of contending with an average Nascent Soul, surely was a good aid.

The Heterodox Nascent Soul didn’t say anything, directly mounted the White Jade Toad.
