Outside the palace.
More than 20 figures flew through the air, becoming clearer in the hazy night.
When they got closer, it was clear that there was nothing beneath their feet – all of them were Perfected Jin Dan.
The 20 Perfected Jin Dan wore the same attire with a bright moon and stars embroidered on it. A sect badge with a sun and moon was engraved on it hung from their waists.
The leader had the strongest aura. His black hair fluttered and his skin was fair. His eyes shone brightly in the night like stars.
"Senior Brother Qian, why did you stop?"
A Perfected Jin Dan behind him asked softly with a respectful expression.
The corners of the leader's mouth curled up slightly. His eyes intentionally or unintentionally glanced at the darkness not far away from him, but he quickly retracted his gaze. A mocking look flashed across his eyes as he said, "Nothing, there seems to be some unforeseen change in the Imperial Palace."
"Are we still entering the palace?" The Perfected Jin Dan behind him asked.
"Of course!"
The leader smiled gently. "The otherworldly soldiers in the palace are all gathered in one direction. We can head over and check out what's going on."
With that said, the 20 Perfected Jin Dan Perfected Jin Dan charged into the depths of the palace and disappeared into the night before long.
A while after the group of cultivators disappeared, eight figures appeared in the darkness not far away. They emitted a cold aura like ghosts in the night!
"Senior Brother Mo, there are many people from Stellar Luna Sect!"
A Perfected Jin Dan Perfected Being whispered with a wary expression.
Among the eight figures, one of them had a cold expression and was skinny. Faintly discernible in the night, he harrumphed coldly. "What's there to fear about Stellar Luna Sect? Shadowless Sect isn't weak either!"
"The leader seems to be the paragon of Stellar Luna Sect, Qian Xinyu!"
"I heard that Qian Xinyu inherited Stellar Luna Sect's ancient phenomenon, Stellar Luna Stellar Luna, ranked 92 on the Phenomenon Ranking of the Upper World."
Another person frowned slightly and said in a low voice, "Just Now … Qian Xinyu seems to have discovered us."
"No worries,"
The skinny man said coldly, "If it's a life and death battle, I, Mo Xiaofeng, am not afraid of him at all! Come, let's enter the palace and take a look! "
Mo Xiaofeng waved his hand and led his seven fellow sect members into the palace.
Not long after, another group of cultivators arrived.
There were about a dozen cultivators in this group. They all wore crimson Daoist robes and their bodies seemed to be burning with flames.
Judging from their attire and sect badges, it was clear that these cultivators were from one of the top sects of the North Region of Tianhuang Mainland, Blaze Columbus Valley!
Although Blaze Columbus Valley was not one of the Nine Immortal Sects, their strength was not to be underestimated.
The person in the lead was tall and had a burning gaze. He was Blaze Columbus Valley's inner sect disciple genius, Wang Yan.
"Hehe, how lively."
Wang Yan burst out laughing, "I didn't expect to bump into cultivators from Stellar Luna Sect and Shadowless Sect today. You've come at the right time. I want to see how much Qian Xinyu and Mo Xiaofeng have improved over the years! "
Before Huang Xiaolong's laughter faded, Wang Yan stepped into the Emperor Palace.
…
In the depths of the imperial palace.
Su Zimo led Xuan Yi and the other two and continued exploring the forbidden ground.
The surrounding Baleful Yin Qi was getting denser and denser. Xuan Yi and the other two were not in good condition.
After all, the three of them were injured and there was no way they could recover in such an environment. Their bloodlines flowed slower and their bodies turned colder as well.
Su Zimo noticed the situation of the three of them and frowned.
If they continued to stay in such a dense Baleful Yin Qi, even without the threat of the otherworldly soldiers, Xuan Yi and the other two's bodies would be in serious trouble in less than a day!
They were not like Su Zimo who had cultivated to the tsunami blood realm.
The Baleful Yin Qi could not get close to them at all.
Su Zimo stopped in his tracks and said in a deep voice, "Let's rest first. Once the otherworldly soldiers disperse completely, I'll bring you guys out of this place as soon as possible!"
He possessed Heaven Vision and Earth Hearing and could detect the movements of the otherworldly soldiers beforehand so that he could hide in advance.
Xuan Yi and the other two nodded.
Su Zimo asked, "What other spirit herbs do you need for the Tribulation Surpassing Elixir? I'll look around here after I send you guys out. "
"Rain Rain Flower, Purple Cloud Lingzhi, Thousand Year Blood Ginseng and Qian Essence Grass," Xuan Yi replied.
Su Zimo had dabbled in the Dao of elixirs before and was rather familiar with spirit herbs. When he heard the four types of spirit herbs, he could not help but frown.
Those four types of spirit herbs were way too rare!
They were rarely seen in recent years.
For example, the Blood Ginseng could only be grown with the blood of living beings and nurtured with care, let alone a Thousand Year Blood Ginseng!
Su Zimo pondered for a moment and a scene flashed through his mind. He could not help but say, "When I arrived at this ruin, I saw a gigantic ravine in the center of it. Those four types of spirit herbs might be there."
"Psst!"
Li Ziyue was shocked and gasped. He shook his head hurriedly with a frightened expression. "D-Don't go there!"
"Why?" Su Zimo asked instinctively.
Li Ziyue gulped and asked instead, "Do you know how that gigantic ravine was formed?"
Su Zimo shook his head.
Li Ziyue whispered, "Legend has it that the ravine was created by the catastrophe 10,000 years ago! An ancestral divine dragon fought against two monasteries and the top experts of the Great Qian Empire in a world-shaking battle! "
"That battle was extremely tragic and the capital was destroyed overnight. Countless top experts of the two monasteries died and even Mighty Figures and Patriarchs fell one after another."
Su Zimo had heard Shura Yan Beichen mention the catastrophe 10,000 years ago. However, he did not know the details.
Now that Li Ziyue mentioned it, he could not help but be shocked.
A single divine dragon caused a catastrophe where countless living beings died and the world was overturned. Stars fell and the sun and moon lost their luster.
Su Zimo felt a sense of trepidation when he thought about it carefully.
A few years ago, he and the Night Spirit devoured a dragon egg and hid in the capital of Great Zhou. A divine dragon chased after them.
If not for the fact that a mysterious expert was in the capital of Great Zhou that day, the catastrophe 10,000 years ago might have happened once more!
After a moment of silence, Su Zimo asked, "What happened after that?"
Li Ziyue sighed gently and lamented, "Everyone knows about what happened after that. The capital of Great Qian was destroyed and a great empire fell apart. Two monasteries were removed from Tianhuang Mainland. "
"Is that divine dragon still alive?" Su Zimo asked again.
Li Ziyue shook his head. "It's said that the battle even alarmed the other super sects of Tianhuang Mainland and more than one emperor took action! Eventually, a few emperors joined forces and killed it here at the tragic price of an emperor's death, burying it in this ravine! "
The air was filled with the stench of blood at the mention of the past.
The atmosphere turned extremely oppressive!
Li Ziyue whispered, "This ravine is known as the Dragon Burial Valley. 10,000 years ago, emperors bled and patriarchs died, burying the divine dragon. It's an ominous place."
"It's said that even Conjoint Body Mighty Figures like the Dharma Daojun couldn't make it out alive after entering by mistake!"
After he said that, a sinister wind blew.
Instantly, Li Ziyue's face turned pale and he shuddered. He did not dare to say anything else, as though he was afraid that something ominous would happen.
