Chapter 152 The Feathering Immortal Valley (4k)

"Old Sha!"

Ye Fan unleashed his brute strength, shaking off Duan De and charging straight at him.

He supported Sha Xiao, his whole body trembling with excitement.

Five years!

They have been separated from Sha Xiao for five years since they re-entered the restricted area!

Although everyone firmly believed that Sha Xiao would not die so easily, who knew how worried they were?

Especially as their cultivation became more and more profound, they came to know just how difficult things had been for Sha Xiao back then.

Even with the protection of an imperial weapon, one might not survive in the turbulent space.

Not to mention, they might be teleported directly to some dangerous place.

Or, to put it more directly, there's a high possibility they've been transported to another planet.

I thought I would never find Sha Xiao again in this lifetime, but who could have known that we would meet again so soon.

Moreover, Sha Xiao is now so strong that it's almost inhuman.

"Not bad, Lao Ye, you haven't wasted these past few years."

Sha Xiao glanced at Ye Fan and instantly saw through his cultivation level.

The Secret Realm Technique has reached the Dao Palace level, and the Void Aperture Technique has reached the fifth level of advanced stage. It is estimated that he will reach the peak of Gu Dao in a few more months.

The key point is that, in just a few years, his strength and skill have improved again.

He has become a true Grandmaster of Strength, and has even begun to approach the level of a Quasi-Supreme Grandmaster of Strength.

Moreover, Sha Xiao glanced at him and found that Ye Fan, in addition to his strength cultivation, was also cultivating blood, lightning, and qi, and was making good progress in all of them.

It's important to know that without Sha Xiao's intervention, Ye Fan would have only just entered the Dragon Transformation stage.

Unlike now, when they can directly defeat a group of second-level immortal elders.

In terms of combat strength alone, Ye Fan is now far stronger than he was at this point in the original story.

This Gu path is all about tempering people.

"Hehe, I'm still far inferior to you."

Ye Fan shook his head, looking at Sha Xiao with some admiration.

Although he had long known that if Sha Xiao were allowed to develop steadily for a few years, his strength would definitely increase rapidly.

But no matter how hard Ye Fan thought, he never expected that Sha Xiao was so powerful that he could directly wipe out a holy land!

He even shattered a Great Sage who made heaven and earth weep in just three moves!

That's the Great Sage!

If you saw it in ancient books, you would think it was a super monster on par with ancient mythological figures.

"You are now..."

""

Ye Fan looked at the weak Sha Xiao and asked with some concern.

He knew that his buddy had a whole bunch of methods for generating explosive amounts of chlorine.

Putting aside everything else, he has an old ghost planted on him.

Seeing Sha Xiao's exhausted state, Ye Fan was worried that Sha Xiao had once again overdrawn her own strength to gain combat power.

"Relax, relax. I was really just exhausted this time. Activating the Myriad Green Gu is not that simple."

Sha Xiao shook her head, offered one explanation, and then stopped talking.

Indeed, this is true. To activate the Myriad Green Immortal Gu, one must first undergo a super tribulation that only targets oneself, cannot help others overcome the tribulation, and only strengthens oneself.

Moreover, one must possess either Wanqing blood or an Imperial Weapon.

Finally, the soul will also be under tremendous pressure.

If it weren't for the Great Sage level of divine soul and physical body, it would have been directly assimilated by this Immortal Gu and turned into a puppet resurrected from the Azure Emperor's mark.

Even if everything holds up and the Heavenly Heart Mark is fully borrowed, the energy required to unleash each move would be enough to destroy a super star.

If Sha Xiao hadn't used the Immortal King Thunder Shadow to borrow the power of the Heavenly Tribulation, he would have been drained dry long ago.

"it is good."

Ye Fan responded softly and did not press further. He believed that Sha Xiao would not harm him, and even if she did not say anything, she must have a reason.

Seeing that Sha Xiao and Ye Fan had finished catching up, Duan De, who was swaying with his fat body, immediately came running over.

His face was beaming, like a blooming sunflower, his hands rubbing together, clearly overjoyed: "Hehehe, Holy Son, congratulations on meeting an old friend in a foreign land, establishing your prestige and achieving your revenge."

Sha Xiao glanced at Duan De, smiled, and said seriously, "Alright, my promise will naturally stand by."

When Duan De heard Sha Xiao agree in front of Ye Fan, he felt relieved and his smile became even more genuine.

Who is he?

He was once hunted down while acting as Sha Xiaoshengzi's shadow.

After the Holy Son of Sha Xiao was lost, he stayed by his side and went alone to Zhongzhou to search for the Holy Son's whereabouts, even venturing into the dangerous Zhongzhou Ancestral Temple.

After overcoming countless hardships, they finally found Sha Xiao and brought him along as a super hero who reigned supreme over the Eastern Wilderness.

When Duan De saw Sha Xiao gather the Heavenly Heart Mark and single-handedly destroy the Yao Guang Holy Land, there was only Sha Xiao as the sun in his heart.

There are only two words to describe his feelings for Sha Xiao: loyalty and sincerity!

The kind of loyalty that transcends words!

Seeing that Sha Xiao was unharmed, Duan De rubbed his hands together excitedly.

With Sha Xiao as his backer, he was already considering how to excavate ancient tombs all over the mountains.

"By the way, Yezi, how did you end up being ambushed here?"

After comforting Duan De, Sha Xiao turned to look at Ye Fan with curiosity.

Logically speaking, Ye Fan, possessing the Azure Lotus Emperor Weapon, shouldn't have been easily tracked down.

"Zhou Yi paid a huge price to deduce a clue about you."

"I came here with Pang Bo, Yi Yi, and Ting Ting to look for you."

Ye Fan said with a smile.

Hearing Ye Fan say this, Sha Xiao felt a warmth in his heart. He was truly worthy of being his brother.

Sha Xiao looked at Ye Fan's Bitter Sea and Void Aperture with a puzzled expression and asked, "Hmm? Where are they? They're all safe now, why haven't they come out yet?"

"We split up. The risk was too great just now. I was thinking of having Pang Bo and the others look for clues about you first. If they find nothing, we'll activate our Imperial Weapons and fight our way out to escape."

As he spoke, a flash of inspiration struck Ye Fan.

"Wait, where did they look for clues about you again?"

Ye Fan suddenly turned his head and looked around, but he couldn't find the Feathered Immortal Valley that had been nearby before.

"Ahem, come in. The person you're looking for is fine."

Suddenly, a frail, aged voice rang in the ears of the three.

At the same time, a valley appeared in the distance.

It was a magnificent place, shrouded in auspicious mist, where cranes flew and various rare beasts disappeared, creating a scene of ever-changing beauty.

"What a rare and precious place for cultivation! A hundred snakes have gathered to form a true dragon, just a hair's breadth away from defying the heavens and transforming into a true dragon. This place can calm the mind and aid in enlightenment."

Duan De looked into the distance and blurted out.

Even from a great distance, they could still smell a faint fragrance.

One by one, strange trees with branches that twist and turn like dragons, as if carefully cultivated, and bearing purple unicorn flowers, take root on the outermost edge of the valley.

"Hiss—, these ancient trees actually still exist? And there are so many of them?"

Duan De looked at the vast expanse of ancient trees and couldn't help but inhale the fragrance.

Seeing Ye Fan's puzzled look, he explained, "This ancient tree is called the Qilan Tree, which is very rare even in ancient times."

"Its fragrance is very unique; once it adheres to the skin, it lingers for days, leaving the body smelling wonderful. It was a favorite of women in ancient times."

O

"Moreover, if one can cultivate a dozen or so plants, it will have wonderful benefits for those who cultivate the Tao, bringing unparalleled peace of mind and making it easier to resonate with the Tao."

As he spoke, Duan De swallowed hard. "With such a large quantity here, the combined effect is probably three-tenths that of the Enlightenment Ancient Tea Trees. This is a grand undertaking, defying the heavens, to artificially cultivate immortal roots."

Feathered Immortal Valley?

The moment Sha Xiao saw this ancient Qilan tree, she remembered where she was.

A strange light flashed in his eyes as he looked at the suddenly appearing Feather Valley.

What's going on?

How could such a person exist in the Feathered Immortal Valley?

He remembered very clearly that in the original story, Old Ghost and Crocodile Ancestor were supposed to be waiting for Ye Fan here.

He had already dealt with those two, so there shouldn't be anyone else here except for the Lightning Phoenix with the Immortal Three-Slaying Dao.

Sha Xiao exchanged a serious glance with Ye Fan, then walked straight inside without any fear.

"Holy Son, I suggest you don't go in."

Duan De carefully examined the Feathered Valley, then suddenly called out to Sha Xiao with a grave expression.

He pointed around and said, "There must have been many extraordinary figures who set up formations here, and they are still operating perfectly."

Sha Xiao did not pause at all and continued to stride towards that direction.

"The formation here is exactly the same as that of the Central Plains Divine Dynasty; it's a near-perfect imperial formation!"

"We really can't go any further. A royal formation controlled by someone can kill even a true emperor."

Duan De gritted his teeth, took two steps, and once again tried to dissuade Sha Xiao.

He finally managed to latch onto such a powerful patron, so why does this powerful patron always like to take on high-difficulty challenges?

"It's alright, you did your best. This is what I promised you. It's none of your business anymore, go on."

Without turning around, Sha Xiao tossed a jade pendant to Duan De and continued to delve deeper inside.

Duan De hurriedly caught the jade pendant containing the information, looking at Sha Xiao and Ye Fan with some confusion.

"Damn it, are you stupid? Can't you wait until you've recovered and then bring that guy along?"

Duan De held the jade pendant in his hand and muttered to himself.

A few friends, aren't they just there to betray someone who's lying in wait?

Duan De felt conflicted, trying to convince himself with his lifelong experience in tomb raiding.

The closer Sha Xiao and his companions got to the Immortal Valley, the more blood and bones they saw.

The soil along the way was overturned by giant trees that crackled with lightning, and the shattered wooden figures lay on the roadside.

"This is Pang Bo's blood..."

Ye Fan looked at the golden lightning flashing along the way, and the blood-stained bird feathers couldn't help but purse his lips.

He could almost see the scene from a few days ago, where the exhausted Pang Bo had to muster his last breath to fight a miserable battle, and Liu Yiyi was still being chased by those Supreme Elders despite using all her skills.

Although he knew he had made the best choice, Ye Fan still felt more pressure in his heart than during the previous life-or-death battle.

"The array patterns here were activated before, so we can't move around. We can only move by our physical bodies. Otherwise, Pang Bo and the others won't be able to escape and will be captured."

Sha Xiao quickly analyzed the previous battle situation by looking at these traces.

Soon, the two arrived at the outside of Yuhua Valley and saw a stele inscribed with the words "Yuhua".

"Hiss, is this a small world?"

Upon reaching the outside of the valley, Ye Fan suddenly exclaimed in surprise.

"Yes, be careful."

Sha Xiao glanced at Ye Fan's figure, gave him a word of advice, and was about to step inside.

"etc!"

Duan De's voice suddenly rang out behind them.

Ye Fan turned around and saw Duan De running towards him, panting heavily, his hands on his knees, saying, "Damn it, I've risked my life to accompany you. Holy Son, you can't abandon me in Zhongzhou!"

Sha Xiao looked at Duan De, who was panting heavily and had taken out a lot of materials to break the formation, including a Xuan Jade Stone Essence the size of three human heads. The corner of his mouth curled up slightly: "Ha, I knew you still had some in stock. Don't worry, with me here, nothing can happen."

After saying that, Sha Xiao took the lead and strode directly into the valley.

Upon entering the Fairy Valley, you will see a small blue stone path.

There is still blood and bones along the way, but there are also ancient trees swaying, spiritual energy emanating from them, and old herbs everywhere.

Walking along the bluestone path feels like stepping into a paradise on earth.

After traveling several miles, there was a thatched hut ahead, peaceful and serene, with a bubbling spring.

The spring water flows under a small stone arch bridge, creating a picturesque scene.

Behind the thatched cottage is a grove of jade bamboo, which, like the ancient unicorn tree, is a rare and precious treasure.

At this moment, the hillside behind the house is covered with thatched huts in large swaths, as if they were free.

In front of the thatched hut was a small courtyard with a rough stone table and stone benches.

"Damn, Old Zhou is really awesome! He ascended to immortality and was able to find you. It's really true."

Pang Bo, whose body was still covered in bird feathers that he couldn't get rid of, and whose fingers had turned into three claws, was standing in the yard waving his arms at Sha Xiao and the others.

"Welcome back. There's a barrier here; once you come in, you can't get out. Don't come in."

Looking at Sha Xiao, whose face seemed to have changed completely, Liu Yiyi forced a smile onto her stiff, tree-like face: "Sha Xiao, you're back."

Ye Fan's joyful face froze as he looked at his two companions.

"Pang Bo, Yi Yi..."

He clenched his fist with a hint of self-reproach.

The root of all this is him. He mistakenly believed that the valley was safe and that he could quickly break through the blockade to provide support.

Because of his proud achievements against the Supreme Elders over the past few years, Ye Fan forgot that those old guys were all quite capable.

He not only failed to break through the blockade quickly, but was even nearly forced to use his trump card of mutual destruction.

If Sha Xiao hadn't returned, they probably would have suffered a major setback this time.

With the old ghost and the imperial weapon, his safety is guaranteed no matter what.

But Pang Bo and Liu Yiyi will probably perish here.

"Don't blame yourself. I'm back. Everything will turn around."

Sha Xiao patted Ye Fan on the shoulder, nodded to Pang Bo and Liu Yiyi, and then looked around the Feathered Immortal Valley.

The spiritual energy here is extremely abundant, no less than the small world inside the Yuhua Divine Dynasty Ancestral Temple. The stone forest is full of various spiritual birds and rare beasts, and there are ginseng, orchids and other plants growing there.

Even though a great battle had just taken place here, stained with blood and broken bones, the place still gave people a sense of calm and peace.

It's mesmerizing!

This is Ye Fan and Duan De's first impression of this region.

"It's good that you're all alright. Besides, every cloud has a silver lining."

Sha Xiao offered a comforting word, then looked inside the thatched hut and said, "You agree, senior?"

A hearty laugh echoed from inside the thatched hut: "You little rascal... Too bad, I'm trapped too."

"I can't get out, and neither can they. You'll have to figure it out yourself."
