Ch 166: Strange Arrival
Could it be said that it was the Aura of the Void Concealing Star Disk that attracted the “attention” of some unknown existence?
Inside the Mountain Cave, Lu Ye frowned.
In the past, the Spirit Medicine Valley might have been ransacked countless times by Various Forces, but it doesn’t mean that all the Secrets have been unearthed.
Sect Leader Wen Xiujue once mentioned that in the Fourth Strange Night Restricted Area, there are many Strange and Abnormal areas, often hidden in Places that go unnoticed.
Could there also be similar Places in this Spirit Medicine Valley Secret Realm?
Lu Ye was uncertain.
But it’s always right to be careful and wary.
Several Hours later, Lu Ye’s injuries had healed, and his Cultivation had clearly improved by a large margin.
The color of that Purple Palace Divine Halo gradually changed from an ethereal sky-blue to transparent.
It was as if if he continued to Cultivate like this, the Purple Palace Divine Halo would transform into a state of “invisible and intangible”!
Leaving the Abode, Lu Ye continued to search for Spiritual Medicine.
As he went deeper, the number of Spiritual Medicine he discovered became scarce.
Sometimes he couldn’t find even one plant in two or three Hours.
But as long as he found Spiritual Medicine, the Quality would become extremely rare and precious!
A day later.
Lu Ye had already arrived in the depths of the Mountains.
The number of Spiritual Medicine on his body had also reached as many as one hundred and thirty-nine.
Among them, the Quality of more than twenty types of Spiritual Medicine exceeded the scope of the Purple Palace Grade!
“That’s not right.”
Abruptly, Lu Ye stopped in his tracks and realized something.
It had been too quiet on this journey.
Since leaving that Mountain Cave, he hadn’t encountered anyone else in this entire day!
This was obviously very Strange and Abnormal.
Lu Ye pondered slightly and contacted others using the Sect Message Talisman.
But as time passed, he didn’t receive a reply from anyone for a long time!
Lu Ye’s heart sank.
Could it be that some shocking change had occurred in this Spirit Medicine Valley Secret Realm?
Otherwise, why couldn’t he contact Meng Hao and Yu Yi?
In addition to this, he hadn’t seen anyone from the Star Spirit Sect, Thousand Night Blade Sect, or Xie Clan along the way.
It was as if only he was left in the entire Spirit Medicine Valley Secret Realm!
This Strange and Abnormal situation reminded Lu Ye of the Experience of being secretly “peered at” by a certain existence when he was in the Mountain Cave.
It also made him increasingly aware of the ominousness of the situation.
He took out the Void Concealing Star Disk, only to see that the “arrow” on the surface was still pointing towards the depths of the Mountains.
Sect Leader Wen Xiujue once said that holding This Treasure can allow one to pass through some Strange and Abnormal misty areas.
Even if trapped, one can use This Treasure to find A Line of Life!
Could it be said that he was already trapped in some kind of “Strange and Abnormal” situation?
It wasn’t that others had encountered misfortune, but that only he had been “lost”?
Lu Ye held the Void Concealing Star Disk in his hand, his expression flickering.
If it was really as he had guessed, it undoubtedly meant that he had already been “lost” since he walked out of that Mountain Cave.
Seemingly he had been constantly advancing into the Mountains, but in reality, he had been trapped in some kind of “Strange and Abnormal” Power.
It was similar to being trapped in an invisible Illusion Formation.
And the abnormality of the Void Concealing Star Disk was undoubtedly guiding him to “A Line of Life”!
Realizing this, Lu Ye did not hesitate and continued to move forward.
It’s just that his mood was completely different from before.
“Along the way, I can still gather Spiritual Medicine, which proves that I am still in the Spirit Medicine Valley Secret Realm.”
“But what is the reason that I got lost?”
“Could it be that I’m being targeted by the guy who was secretly ‘peering’ at me?”
While Lu Ye pondered, he tried to use various Secret Arts to investigate, but to no avail.
However, he was not alarmed.
The Experience in the Outer Realm Battlefield allowed Lu Ye to roughly guess that this Spirit Medicine Valley Secret Realm was distributed with special Space Rules, which made him seem to be walking in reality, but in fact, he was already in a state of “lost”.
It was similar to the “ghost hitting the wall” that is said in the Secular folk.
On the road ahead, he followed the guidance of the Void Concealing Star Disk, constantly going deeper and deeper…
Before he knew it, a Pond with a range of about a hundred zhang suddenly appeared in his Vision.
On one side of the Pond, a towering Big Tree was rooted.
The Big Tree was bare, its Vitality was exhausted, like rotten wood.
However, what was shocking was that the dense branches of the Big Tree were hung with densely packed Remains!
Each Corpse was riddled with holes and tattered, as if it had experienced endless Years of weathering and erosion, making it impossible to identify any Clue.
“What Ghost Place is this?”
When he arrived here, Lu Ye inexplicably felt a Palpitations and once again felt that he was being secretly spied on.
And this time it was particularly strong.
It was as if that unknown existence was hidden near that Pond!
But when Lu Ye looked around, he didn’t find anything unusual.
He used the Eye of Insight to investigate, but also found nothing.
Soon, Lu Ye noticed that the “arrow” of the Star Disk was actually pointing at that Pond with a range of a hundred zhang!
Could the so-called “A Line of Life” be there?
Lu Ye subconsciously stepped forward to the Pond.
The Pond water was turbid, without a trace of waves, just like a Pond of stagnant water.
The water reflected the Shadow of the Big Tree full of Remains.
At a glance, it was like seeing countless Corpse floating on the water, which was particularly horrifying.
Even Lu Ye couldn’t help but narrow his eyes.
Suddenly, an excited and happy old voice sounded:
“How many Years has it been, someone has finally found this Place?”
Boom!
Along with the sound, the Pond that was like stagnant water suddenly boiled, the water surged, and rolled up turbid waves.
The heavy Death Qi and foul Bloody Aura spread out, which was simply disgusting.
Lu Ye retreated to the distance as soon as possible.
He saw the water in the Pond constantly surging and sinking, as if flowing into an underground dark river.
It soon dried up.
And a Strange and horrifying scene was reflected in Lu Ye’s Vision.
The bottom of the dried-up Pond was covered with White Bones, piled up there, he didn’t know how thick it was.
A Gaunt Old Man wearing a tattered Daoist Robe stood on the pile of White Bones, his body pierced by a rusty Iron Sword.
The one holding the Iron Sword was a headless, rotten Corpse, standing in front of the Gaunt Old Man.
The other hand of this headless, rotten Corpse was also tightly clutching the Gaunt Old Man’s neck.
At a glance, the two seemed to be engaged in a Life and Death fight.
The headless Corpse was motionless, and the Gaunt Old body was pierced, and his neck was also grasped, and he could not break free either.
As a result, the two maintained such a stalemate.
Even though Lu Ye had seen many incredible things on the Outer Realm Battlefield, he was taken aback when he saw this scene.
“Were you the one talking just now?”
Lu Ye asked.
“That’s right!”
The Gaunt Old Man’s body was motionless, but the voice came from his lips.
Lu Ye said: “If I’m not mistaken, that headless Corpse seems to be an Outer Realm Heavenly Demon?”
Although the headless Corpse was rotten, Lu Ye always felt familiar with it, very similar to the Heart-Burning Gu Demon among the Outer Realm Gods and Demons!
It should be known that Xie Lingqiu was once injured by a Heart-Burning Gu Demon in the Sixth Strange Night Restricted Area, which led to the “Gu Demon Forbidden Curse” invading her heart.
“Little friend also knows about the Heart-Burning Gu Demon?”
The Gaunt Old Man was excited, “You’re right, I was trapped here when I was trying to kill this Heavenly Demon, and I have no Power to break free even today!”
Saying that, the Gaunt Old Man said expectantly, “I wonder if little friend is willing to help me, to eliminate demons and defend the Dao?”
