In the night, Weisuo continued to advance towards the outskirts of Mi Tian Valley.
Soon, he was less than fifty zhang away from the edge of Mi Tian Valley that was usually enveloped by the five-colored miasma.
There was only silence in front of him, but Wei Suo suddenly stopped.
In the bushes not far in front of him, there was a pile of eye-catching white skulls with a seemingly random wooden plaque on top of them.
"Do not enter without permission!"
The four large words on the wooden plaque were bright red, as if they were written with blood.
Looking at the pile of white skulls and wooden plaques, Weisuo could only gloomily curse in his heart. Then, he took a detour to the south, helplessly looking for another way to enter the valley.
After Weisuo walked for about an incense stick's worth of time, a burly man wearing a black robe with python patterns appeared where Weisuo was previously standing.
This burly man in his thirties had a sinister look on his face. He was also a cultivator of Zhou Tianjing First Layer. Moreover, this person was definitely like Weisuo, taking a detour to several relatively safe places to enter. However, they were all blocked by large sects and were met with resistance everywhere.
Now that he saw the pile of white skulls and wooden plaques, this burly man immediately flew into a rage. He coldly snorted in an extremely sinister manner. "What? Not only did the First Heaven Sect occupy a large area, even a sect like the White Skull Sect wants to divide up the entire Mi Tian Valley?"
Immediately after, this burly man with an angry expression continued to charge forward.
After going sixty to seventy zhang, just as he was about to enter the area that was usually enveloped by the five-colored miasma, he could be considered to have truly entered Mi Tian Valley. However, all of a sudden, within twenty to thirty zhang of the burly man, streams of white Qi suddenly surged forth, all condensing into white bone blades that slashed towards the burly man from all directions.
"White Skull Thousand Blade Formation! Could it be … " The burly man, who was originally full of anger, suddenly had a horrified expression. First, he activated a golden light shield, then he activated a black iron shield and a purple copper shield in a fluster, desperately trying to escape from Mi Tian Valley.
However, under the onslaught of white bone blades, the burly man was actually unable to move his feet.
Soon, the power of the golden light shield was depleted and shattered.
"Pa pa pa!"
The bone blades struck the two shields protecting the burly man, creating extremely dull explosions. The burly man continuously moved his hands, continuously sending out huge pieces of green wood to block the incoming bone blades. At the same time, he began to beg for mercy, "I didn't know that Elder Mo was here, so I have offended you. I hope that Elder Mo will be magnanimous and spare this lowly one's life!"
However, no one paid any attention to him other than the sound of bone blades being shot out from the surrounding area …
A short moment later, the two magic shields blocking his front and back were completely cut apart. This big man with a look of despair was also killed by the flying bone blades.
What Wei Suo didn't know was that this decision to take a detour had really allowed him to escape a calamity.
Currently, Weisuo was standing in a pile of rocks further south from the entrance occupied by the White Skeleton Sect.
For other cultivators, no matter how they looked at it, this was not a good place to enter.
This was because in front of this pile of rocks was the outer perimeter of Mi Tian Valley, which was usually shrouded in multicolored miasma, was a swamp filled with large and small quagmires. There were many crooked and strange plants growing in the swamp.
Moreover, right in front of Weisuo, on a piece of relatively dry ground, lay the corpse of a huge black rat that seemed to have been dead for a long time. Most of its fur had already rotted away.
However, this huge black rat's four jade-like claws were as smooth as new. There wasn't even much dirt or dust on them. It was clear that this huge black rat had died not long ago.
After a moment of observation, Weisuo retreated into the dense forest behind him. He quickly reappeared, holding an ordinary rock snake that was as thick as an arm that he'd just killed. Then, he threw the rock snake towards the huge black rat.
When it was still a few dozen feet away from the giant black rat, the Rock Snake's body immediately emitted clouds of green smoke and began to rot at a rapid pace. When it fell to the ground, it had already turned into a white skeleton.
"This place really does have Extreme Decaying Shenguang. It's said that this Extreme Decaying Shenguang was brought here by the destruction of the Heavens and Earth during an ancient battle. If you look closely, you can still see some clues. " Old Man In Green Clothes's voice sounded in Weisuo's ears. "However, you have the Divine Peach Jade, so there shouldn't be any problems entering from here."
Weisuo nodded. When some of the mist drifted through the forest, the Extreme Decaying Shenguang, which usually looked invisible, would reveal some ripples of light. It wasn't completely unfathomable.
After taking out the Divine Peach Jade he'd obtained from the shop assistant with the protruding ears, Weisuo carefully swept into the Mi Tian Valley.
Sure enough, once he got within a few meters of Weisuo, the Extreme Decaying Shenguang that shrouded this area instantly disappeared. Weisuo directly swept into the swamp in front of him unscathed.
As for the huge black rat that was beyond recognition, Weisuo didn't bother with it.
This Bone Biter Rat was only a mid-level two demon beast. In such a state, it wouldn't be worth more than a few spirit stones.
"There's a Bone Biter Lotus over there. It can be used to refine pill toxins. It's worth about thirty low-grade spirit stones."
"There's also a Black Hemp Stem in the swamp on your left. It's worth about twenty low-grade spirit stones."
Wei Suo, who had truly entered the edge of Mi Tian Valley, cautiously advanced while sizing up his surroundings. The green-robed old man had also begun to observe the surroundings to see if there was anything of value nearby.
Weisuo wasn't in a hurry. Although some of the spirit herbs weren't very valuable, they could still be useful in the future even if they weren't sold. Therefore, he carefully collected the spirit herbs according to Old Man In Green Clothes's instructions and stored them in his black storage pouch.
After selling the storage pouch, Weisuo now had a yellow storage pouch and a black storage pouch.
The yellow storage pouch contained Weisuo's spirit stones and magic tools that could be used at any time. The black storage pouch was specially used by Weisuo to store his gains from the Mi Tian Valley. This way, it would be more convenient for him to count them when he returned.
The Mi Tian Valley was indeed worthy of its reputation. The amount of spirit herbs here was far more than any other place Weisuo had been to before. It was no wonder that cultivators at the fourth or fifth level of the Spirit Sea Realm would risk their lives to try their luck in the Mi Tian Valley.
Weisuo had collected six types of spirit herbs that were worth more than one hundred and seventy low-grade spirit stones when he passed through the swamp area.
Because the main goal of this trip was the Purple Fox Flower, Weisuo went deeper into the Mi Tian Valley after passing through the smelly swamp. Then, he slowly headed east.
… …
An old man wearing a white robe was sitting cross-legged on top of a towering boulder in the Mi Tian Valley.
From afar, this thin old man seemed to be the Elder Bai from the Yuehua Sect.
The Heavenly Sect of Lingyue City, the Gathering Star Sect of Seven Stars City, the Dongyao Sect, and the Yuehua Sect of Fallen Moon City were the most powerful sects in the nearby cities.
However, if one were to take a closer look, they would realize that this person was not the Elder Bai from the Yuehua Sect, who was at the fifth level of Zhou Tianjing. The robe he was wearing seemed to be made of white bones and was surrounded by white mist. It looked very terrifying …
This person's face was also very gloomy. He had a hooked nose and high cheekbones. He looked like he had no flesh on his face. Not only was there a faint layer of black mist on his face, but there seemed to be black will-o '-the-wisps dancing in his eyes. It was obvious that the cultivation technique he practiced was very strange.
"This Mi Tian Valley is not Lingyue City. It's impossible for your Heavenly Sect to monopolize this place."
After sitting in silence for a while, the gloomy old man with the hooked nose muttered to himself. Then, he kept flicking his wrist, shooting white magic beads toward the nearby forest.
Not long after, the originally clear forest was actually filled with a white fog.
The gloomy old man sneered with satisfaction. Then, he suddenly moved and swept into the forest like an old crow, disappearing without a trace in the blink of an eye … …
"Why did the mist suddenly appear?"
Weisuo was naturally unaware of this.
At this moment, he was standing in front of a large tree full of strange pods, looking at the corpses of two cultivators on top of a pile of rocks in front of him.
The two cultivators had died very tragically. One of them was wearing a green robe, and there was a large hole in his chest. It seemed that he had been directly blasted into two by some kind of spell technique. The other was a burly cultivator wearing crimson armor. In addition to having a large piece of flesh cut off from his face, there were also many bloody holes on his body.
At a glance, aside from some traces of spell bombardment, there were also two magic shields that had been blasted full of holes and shattered into several pieces.
Of the two magic shields, the one that had been blasted into several pieces was Weisuo's half-spirit grade Profound Tortoise Shield. As for the other one, it was a bone shield refined from the bones of an unknown demon beast.
The tattered robes of the two cultivators showed signs of having been rummaged through. The insides of the robes were empty. It seemed that the spirit stone pouches and other items on the two cultivators had all been plundered.
Wei Suo sized them up for a moment. When his gaze landed on the chest of the tall and sturdy cultivator in scarlet red armor, his eyes suddenly shivered. He quickly brought out his Spirit Devouring Shield that flickered with white flames, and at the same time, quickly retreated into the dense forest behind him.
When his figure quickly disappeared into the dense forest behind him without a trace, a green-clothed youth suddenly appeared behind a large rock to the side.
From the magic robes worn by this youth, it was clear that he was one of the Yuehua Sect disciples that had gathered in the valley.
The Yuehua Sect disciples led by Elder Bai originally didn't enter from nearby, but this Yuehua Sect disciple had already made his way here. It seemed that even though these large sects wanted to monopolize an area, the other sects didn't care. There were even some disciples who deliberately entered these areas to compete with the other sects' disciples.
"I didn't think that I would let him escape in a moment of carelessness. It's a pity that I lost the Spirit Devouring Shield." Looking in the direction Weisuo disappeared, this Yuehua Sect youth who also looked very arrogant sneered, "But this person's cultivation is only at the fifth layer of the Divine Sea Realm. He probably doesn't have many good things on him aside from the Spirit Devouring Shield."
After a cold laugh, the young man from the Yuehua Sect pulled out a Dharma artifact from the chest of the burly cultivator in red armor. Then, he headed east and disappeared into the white fog in the pitch-black forest.
