Carefree Valley:
"Division Master Meng, wait for me!" Song QingShu shouted in horror.
"Roar!" "Roar!" "Roar!"
The fifty spirit beasts followed closely behind, driving Song QingShu's group into the valley.
"Ah!"
Song QingShu missed his footing and rolled down the mountainside.
Montes led the Elite Hall subordinates to a stop at the mountainside. Then, they watched in horror as the fifty spirit beasts stopped.
"Roar!" "Roar!" "Roar!"
The cries of the spirit beasts rang out in all directions. The mountains around Carefree Valley were filled with spirit beasts. There were wolf spirit beasts, leopard spirit beasts, snake spirit beasts, tiger spirit beasts, and all sorts of spirit beasts. They all showed ferocious expressions as they drove one figure after another into the valley.
"How can it be like this?"
"Why are there so many spirit beasts? Why are there so many spirit beasts? "
"Let me go! I did not do it on purpose. I did not kill anyone!"
"I will leave the Innate Puzzle World immediately. Let me out!"
…
…
…
The surrounding Demonic Beasts let out roars, and behind the crowd of Demonic Beasts, there were black-robed men playing flutes that slowly revealed their heads.
The flute music was beautiful. However, it sounded like a death knell in everyone's ears.
"Division Master?" The Elite Hall disciples looked anxiously at Montes.
"It's over!" Montes said with an unsightly expression.
On a mountain peak outside the valley, the red-clad Ninth Young Master showed a cold smile as he looked at the crying people in the valley.
"Ninth Young Master, we drove out nearly all the people we could find in the surroundings. There are a total of twenty-six hundred people!" a black-clad man reported respectfully.
"All of them? That's good! "the Ninth Young Master said coldly.
The Ninth Young Master stepped forward and leaned over, looking down coldly.
"Who are you? A disciple of the Sky Chess Pavilion. Aren't you supposed to not interfere in our matters? "Montes exclaimed.
"Not interfere? Humph! That is your own fault. You are becoming increasingly unruly! "the Ninth Young Master said coldly.
"Roar!"
Thousands of demonic beasts roared in unison, glaring at the crowd. Everyone looked at the Ninth Young Master worriedly.
"You forced us here. What do you want? There are no rules in the Innate Puzzle World … "Montes shouted.
"Don't talk to me about rules. I like to hear your screams. So what? Don't say that I didn't give you a way out. This is a Go puzzle left behind by the Pavilion Master. It is also the most basic Go puzzle. If you can solve it, I will let you live. If you can't, then this Go puzzle will decide your life and death! "said the Ninth Young Master coldly.
As he spoke, he flung his sleeves.
Boom!
From the Ninth Young Master's sleeve, billowing black fog suddenly gushed out. The black fog soared into the sky like a black cloud that covered the sky. In the blink of an eye, it enveloped the entire Carefree Valley.
Above the dark clouds, traces of light blossomed. It was as if there were stars in the night sky.
"A Go puzzle left behind by Old Man Guanqi?" Montes suddenly roared in shock.
The countless cultivators in the valley immediately showed horrified expressions.
"What? How can it be possible to solve a Go puzzle left behind by Old Man Guanqi? "
"Old Man Guanqi is the best in the Go Dao. Who can solve it?"
"What ritual array is this? Why do I feel like death is looming over us? "
"Me too. All my hair is standing on end. It feels like a saber is hanging over my head!"
…
…
…
The surrounding cultivators cried out in horror.
"I already said that this is not the Pavilion Master's strongest Go puzzle. It is just something he casually made. However, I doubt that you can solve it, either. Weren't you very arrogant when you slaughtered the residents of Carefree Valley back then? You can enjoy the despair they felt back then! "The Ninth Young Master's cold laughter came from the black clouds.
"It has nothing to do with me. I did not kill them!"
"I did not! Let me out!"
"I'll leave immediately. I beg you. Let me go!"
…
…
…
The crowd shouted.
Boom!
Suddenly, a huge platform descended from the black clouds, landing in the center of the valley.
"Buzz!"
A huge Go board appeared on the platform. A large number of Go stones were already placed on the Go board, forming a Go puzzle. The black clouds glowed with starlight. Beams of light immediately shot down, heading for every Go stone. It looked like every Go stone was connected to a star.
"What ritual array is this?" Montes exclaimed.
"The Heavenly Saber Death Match. The winner lives, and the loser dies. Everyone, are you ready? Hahahaha! "The Ninth Young Master's cold laughter came from the black clouds.
"Run!"
A cultivator immediately rushed up the mountain in horror, wanting to charge out of the black clouds.
Shing!
Suddenly, a saber hum rang out, and a cold air surged into everyone's hearts. A white light suddenly appeared in the black clouds.
The white light was a three-hundred-meter-long saber qi. The saber qi tore through space, producing a sharp howl as it charged at the man charging up the mountain.
"Ah!"
That man screamed and immediately took out his sword to face the saber qi.
Shing!
The saber qi stopped in midair, and the saber qi cut through the man's body before vanishing.
Everyone goggled and watched as that man froze there as if he was hit by a Body Immobilization Art.
Just as everyone was goggling …
"Pa la!"
The fleeing man suddenly split into two halves from between his eyebrows and fell into a pool of blood.
"Ahh!" "Ahh!"
Some female cultivators in the crowd let out startled cries. A perfectly fine person got chopped in half by a saber qi in an instant?
"Let's charge out together! Charge out together! We can definitely charge out! "someone shouted.
"Ha!" The Ninth Young Master's cold laughter came from the black clouds.
"There are still nine thousand three hundred and twenty-four heavenly sabers in the Heavenly Saber Death Match. If you do not believe me, you can give it a try!" The Ninth Young Master's voice rang out.
Everyone shuddered at the thought of this.
There were only two thousand-odd people, but there were more than nine thousand heavenly sabers?
Looking at the black clouds covering the sky, everyone felt a chill in their hearts. It felt like there were many heavenly sabers in the black clouds pointing at them. As long as they made any strange movements, they would be instantly killed.
"No! I don't want to die! Sob! Sob! I don't want to stay here anymore! "
"I did not kill anyone! I did not kill anyone!"
…
…
…
Cries of horror rang out in the valley. Many cultivators with weak mental states were already crying. Everyone saw that earlier saber strike. Not to mention their current Innate Realm cultivation, even a Golden Core Realm cultivator would be killed in one strike. Even a cultivator from the Yuanying State would not be able to escape. Now, more than nine thousand heavenly sabers hung above their heads. Everyone showed expressions of despair.
Montes's expression turned unsightly.
Song Qingshu's eyes widened in despair.
Carefree Valley, spirit spring cave:
"Bang!"
Suddenly, a soft sound rang out around Gao Xianzhi, and a ripple spread out from her body.
"You broke through? The Second Layer of the Innate Realm? "Gao Xianzhi said excitedly.
However, when Gao Xianzhi saw that everyone was immersed in raising their cultivation, she quickly suppressed her excitement and continued absorbing the surging Spiritual Energy.
Meanwhile, in the small pool where Gu Hai was, the blue light was the most abundant.
This meant that the water-attributed Spiritual Energy was the most abundant. However, Xiaorou's body was like a bottomless pit. The surging water-attributed Spiritual Energy entered her body at a horrifying speed, nourishing her.
Xiaorou coiled around Gu Hai's shoulder comfortably, enjoying the boundless water-attributed Spiritual Energy.
On the other side, the purple light around Gu Hai was still the same.
The Spiritual Progenitor Qi quickly entered Gu Hai's body without any stagnation. It was as if the spring water was endless. After two hours, four hours, six hours, eight hours, Gu Hai felt that he had received more Spiritual Stones than the last time the Clear River Sect Master had helped him.
Roar!
A dragon's roar sounded in Gu Hai's dantian.
The original one drop of Quintessential Essence suddenly turned into nine drops of Quintessential Essence.
Boom!
The nine drops of Quintessential Essence merged into one, turning into a peanut-sized Quintessential Essence droplet. A huge force surged out from Gu Hai's body, and the surrounding spring water splashed everywhere.
"Condensing Liquid into a Pearl, the Second Layer of the Innate Realm?" Gu Hai opened his eyes, and they shone brightly.
Without hesitation, Gu Hai closed his eyes again and continued to absorb the Spiritual Energy in the water.
After another day, Xiaorou's injuries healed completely. At this moment, she absorbed the surging Spiritual Energy as she stared at Gu Hai in a daze. Xiaorou stared at Gu Hai like this. As she stared, she blushed slightly and revealed a sweet smile.
One day later:
Gu Hai stared at the Quintessential Essence Pearl in his dantian. As the surging Spiritual Energy poured in and the Quintessential Essence continuously absorbed, the one Quintessential Essence Pearl turned into nine. The nine peanut-sized Quintessential Essence Pearls looked like they were going to merge for the second time to break through to the Third Layer of the Innate Realm.
Roar!
The dragon-shaped Quintessential Essence circled around Xiao Chen, as if it was accumulating energy to break through to the Third Layer of the Innate Realm.
"Buzz!"
Suddenly, Gu Hai's expression changed, and he opened his eyes.
Xiaorou, who was staring at Gu Hai, was startled and looked away in a fluster.
"There is no more Spiritual Energy?" Gu Hai frowned as he looked at the pool.
Indeed, there was no color in the pool. The blue and purple light from before had disappeared.
"Ah? Ah? Oh! It seems to be gone! "Xiaorou discovered the abnormality in her fluster.
At the side, Gao Xianzhi and Chen Tianshan opened their eyes as well. When the two saw the pool turn clear, regret flashed in their eyes.
"How unfortunate. If only it could have lasted longer!" Chen Tianshan said with a regretful expression.
Gu Hai also felt regretful. However, he soon revealed a faint smile and said, "Never mind. This breakthrough is already enough."
"Hey, Venerable Lian Sheng is still not awake?" Xiaorou asked out of curiosity.
Everyone looked at Venerable Lian Sheng strangely. Venerable Lian Sheng seemed to be in a meditative state, not moving at all.
"Should we wake the venerable?" Chen Tianshan asked with a frown.
"There's no need. The venerable instructed us not to disturb him," Gu Hai said while shaking his head.
"Right!" Everyone nodded.
"Oh, right. I think I heard miserable cries outside earlier. No, it seems like there is a miserable cry every now and then, "Xiaorou suddenly said with a frown.
"Oh?" Everyone's expression changed.
