After millions of years in the library, I became an Immortal Emperor.

The Valley of Ten Thousand Spirits is actually a vast and boundless cave world, which, if viewed from the sky, looks like a nest built by some kind of creature.

The entrance to the Valley of Ten Thousand Spirits is located where the cave entrance extends for thousands of miles to the left and right, and is tens of thousands of feet high. Countless spirits pass through it.

"Legend has it that Wanling Valley was once the nest of the divine beast Phoenix. A phoenix once hatched from here and left behind countless epics in the world."

"The spiritual energy here is the most abundant among the spirit races."

As Lingyu spoke, she led Qin Ge and the other three into the Valley of Ten Thousand Spirits, with the spirit race youth following beside them.

He looked at Qin Ge and the other three with curiosity and great surprise.

The last time humans entered the Valley of Ten Thousand Spirits was a thousand years ago. A severely injured human powerhouse requested an audience with the Valley Master, but unfortunately, he died not long afterward.

"I will take you to see your master."

Noticing that many spirits were watching Qin Ge and his companions, he took a small step forward and said.

Several people nodded.

Azure sea and blue sky—this is the scenery of Wanling Valley, and Lingyu's master lives in seclusion in a mountain stream.

A woman in green stood atop the mountain waterfall, quietly watching Lingyu and her group.

She had already heard Lingyu's telepathic message about Qin Ming and the others and the human race, but she was still somewhat hesitant to believe it.

Does the human race truly have saints?

"Greetings, Master!"

"Greetings, senior!"

……

Several people said that there is a Valley Master and thirty-six Cave Masters in the Valley of Ten Thousand Spirits. This is one of the Cave Masters, a peak Saint who fell from the Great Saint Realm.

"I'm back."

She looked at Lingyu and said, and Lingyu stepped forward and knelt directly in front of her, all her toughness relaxing at that moment.

Only here can she truly relax.

Only she knew what she had gone through along the way. Decades in the primeval mountains, followed by her encounter with humans, had nearly broken her spirit.

Thankfully, they're finally back.

The woman in green smiled and patted her head, then looked at Qin Ming and the others.

"I've heard Lingyu mention you before. She said you all possess unparalleled talent and have a master who is almost taboo."

She said, her words seemingly calm but containing a deep shock.

The spirit race youth next to him stared wide-eyed, unable to believe what he was hearing.

A first-class talent? That would be comparable to the Spirit Race, even stronger than the Dao Child talent of the Myriad Spirits Valley.

Comparable to a forbidden realm, what kind of powerful being is that?

"When did humanity produce such a powerful individual?"

The woman in green spoke as if to herself, her pupils radiating a holy aura, as if she wanted to see right through them.

Gu Yi stepped forward and placed his hand on the sword case.

The woman in green frowned slightly and then turned her gaze to the sword box. The vast Dao Domain descended, making it difficult for Gu Yi to move.

"A sword case capable of killing strange creatures..."

It is three feet long, made of pear wood, and carved with a profound painting: a bright moon slowly rises over the vast sea.

"Master!"

Lingyu, who was standing nearby, was startled. Just as she was about to speak, she saw her master's body tremble, and he suddenly retreated, a smear of blood falling from the corner of his mouth.

"It's not an imperial weapon, just a sword intent!"

Then she heard her master's voice, which was filled with shock and disbelief, and finally a hint of terror.

It was as if I had witnessed some kind of great horror.

Qin Ming, Qin Ge, and the others could only see the bright moon over the sea on the sword box, but she saw a ship and a person beneath that bright moon.

When he looked at the person in the painting, the person in the painting also looked at her. One glance sent shivers down her spine, and she almost melted on the spot.

This sword intent alone can kill her!

But Lingyu had clearly told her that this sword box had already been used once to kill a strange creature that had escaped from the Primordial Mountain.

It's already been used once, and it's still this powerful.

"Quasi-Emperor!"

She was deeply shaken. Looking at the sword box, then at Qin Ge, Qin Ming, and the other three, she couldn't help but take a deep breath.

The human race has a quasi-emperor!

She was once a Great Sage, so the sword intent of a Great Sage could never have such a great effect on her; it could only be a Quasi-Emperor.

As the Dao Domain receded, the oppressive feeling on everyone disappeared, and Gu Yi's hand landed on the sword box, already poised to draw it.

The expressions on Qin Ge and the other three's faces were not so pleasant either.

But the woman in green smiled at the group.

"Please forgive us, but because the demons have shown signs of making a comeback in recent years, Wanling Valley is being more wary of outsiders."

"I was just checking if you possess any demonic abilities. These items are a token of my apology to you young friends."

Several artifacts radiating a sacred aura fell into the hands of the four people, who were slightly taken aback when they looked at the items in their hands.

This is actually a sacred weapon.

The spirit race youth beside him opened his mouth wide, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he couldn't say anything.

He'd been following his master for so long and he still hadn't received this, so how come these complete strangers could obtain such a precious treasure so soon after they arrived?

What on earth is going on?

Qin Ge watched this scene, paused slightly, and nodded.

"Thank you, senior."

"If you have the chance, please give my regards to your master," she said with a smile, while Lingyu stood by, completely stunned.

Her master always presented himself as aloof and cold; this was the first time she had ever seen him like this.

"The master will know."

Xin Huo replied that he, like Qin Ming and Qin Ge, addressed Lin Fan as "Master." In his view, since Master could impart his teachings to him in his dream, he must be watching over them.

"Know?"

The woman in green was startled by these words and looked around at the world around her, feeling inexplicably as if she were being watched.

Could it be that the other one has come too?

"Master, that one is in the Nine Provinces of the Human Race, and he shouldn't be leaving the Human Race anytime soon."

Lingyu said that it was a feeling she had; she always felt that Lin Fan was guarding the primeval mountain there.

The so-called bizarre events may be related to him.

The woman in green was relieved after hearing this, and then looked at Qin Ge and the others.

"Since you are Lingyu's friends, then you are my guests. My name is Ye Luo, and I am a cave master of Wanling Valley."

"As long as I am here, no one in the Spirit Clan will dare to bully you. As for the Grand Competition of All Races, I will personally lead you to participate."

She said that her calm heart trembled for the first time, and something that had been weighing on her heart resurfaced.

She was no longer the reclusive mistress of Ye Luo Cave.

Some grudges and hatreds are not so easy to let go of; it's just that there was no hope, but now hope has arrived.

Suddenly, she looked up at the sky and her gaze sharpened.

"Lingyu, please settle them in properly. I need to go out for a bit."

She left a message and disappeared over the waterfall. The next moment, she arrived in front of a wooden house, where an old woman sat on the steps, looking at her kindly.

"Valley Master!"

She bowed deeply and said.

This seemingly ordinary old woman is the master of Wanling Valley, a peak Great Saint, and one of the overlords of the Xuanhuang Great World.
