As the ancient miasma of the Connecting Valley slowly receded, more and more of the Connecting Heaven Mountain Range’s cultivators gathered here.
When Chen Mo, Jiang Yuezhuo, and Mi Ji hurried over, they already saw more than a hundred multicolored sword-lights enter the vicinity of the Connecting Valley. Chen Mo flew on his riding sword, and then he also very quickly spotted the mountain gorge.
From the sky, most of the Connecting Valley was still covered in a shroud of mist. The entrance had a small crevice from which many cultivators entered.
Chen Mo did not immediately enter the Connecting Valley. Rather, he landed on a peak and used the Deva Eyes to watch the cultivators going in.
Because of the Connecting Valley’s Primeval Chaos True Qi, many spirit medicines and grasses from the prehistoric period. The Realms of the majority of the cultivators was only Primordial Spirit Earthly Immortal, and there were even Human Immortals. The deeper the Connecting Valley went, the less they dared to venture in, but the verdant spirit grasses in the periphery of the valley attracted them. If they could pick a Primeval Chaos Spirit Herb, that would be wealth in a single stroke.
“What are we even waiting for? Early bird gets the worm.” Mi Ji was somewhat anxious.
“Wait some more.” Chen Mo was unmoved.
After a moment, an ancient war chariot came screaming in from far away. Pulling the chariot were four war horses clad completely in bronze colored armor. Their manes were like gold, and they appeared seemingly real and fantastical. The chariot’s wheels were wrapped in wind and thunder, echoing through the firmaments. Immediately, it drew the attention of the cultivators.
“Langya War Chariot!!”
Mi Ji recognized this Heavenly Spirit Astral Treasure’s background at a glance.
Langya War Chariot. The Wang Clan of Langya’s heirloom Heavenly Spirit Treasure. The war chariot was able to drive wind and thunder, drop thunderclaps and spread fire, and cover ten thousand li in a day. Crossing the barrier between Star Fields was not outside the realm of possibility.
The chariot had three women aboard. They were none other than Wang Xianzhi, Wang Dun, and “Commandery Princess Of Lanling” Wang Yuanji.
Wang Dun stopped the Langya War Chariot in the sky above, not at all in a hurry to enter the Connecting Valley, and waited calmly for something. After a while, another crowd of people flooded in on riding swords. Compared to the Wang Clan’s three people, this group’s force was ferocious, just like a heavy black cloud brandishing claws and fangs.
They were all wearing identical uniforms. Each of them had gazes that were completely arrogant.
This was none other than the Cangwu Star Field’s strongest power, the Lü Spring And Autumn sect.
Chen Mo looked. This Lü Clan brought at least fifty people. Other than Lü Meng and Lü Xiang, there was also a middle-aged man beside them. His presence was extremely prominent, as if it was one with the Heavens. Astonishingly, he was a Lord Of Heaven. Furthermore, the other disciples were each Earthly Immortal in strength.
“The Lü Clan came with so many people, they aren’t giving anyone else a way to survive.” Mi Ji sighed.
“Other than searching for treasure, the others should have come for the experience?” Jiang Yuezhuo said. Star World had few places with the danger of Primeval Chaos True Qi. Places like this were golden opportunities for cultivators to gain experience. Most of the expert disciples of the Cangwu Star Field’s sects were practically eager to begin.
“Emperor Langya actually brought out the Langya War Chariot. It seems he values you very much.” Lü Meng spotted that domineering Langya War Chariot and chuckled: “Why did he not come himself?”
“We youngsters can immediately appear in a place like this. This place is not worth Lord Wang Dao’s1 arrival.” Wang Xianzhi smiled.
“Ha, ha, is he afraid since he heard the Purple Rose Star Emperor stationed a True Spirit to guard the Connecting Valley?” Lü Meng jeered.
“Yet is the Demon Empress not the same, not daring to come here herself?” Wang Xianzhi remained expressionless.
“Empress Lü has gone to the Dark Spirit Star Field to recruit a Great General. She has no time.” Lü Xiang sneered. “When Empress Lü recruits her under the Lü Clan’s banner, we definitely will pay the Wang Clan of Langya a visit.”2
“Then we shall really have to wait and see.” Wang Xianzhi understood the implication and raised her brow.
“For this Connecting Valley, why not let our two houses work together.” The Lü Clan’s middle-aged Lord Of Heaven spoke. “The Lü Clan is here only for the Five Emperors Seal. Li Si’s Great Seal can be given to you.”
“I naturally have no issue. Little Sister, your thoughts?” Wang Xianzhi looked at the graceful, golden-haired young woman beside her.
Wang Yuanji was indifferent to this enticing proposal: “How can the Five Emperors Seal compare to Li Si’s True Work. The characters of the Great Seal can obtain Maiden Mountain’s mystery. I fear that they will covet the other once they obtain the first.”
“Little Sister is right.”
“Hmph.” The Lord Of Heaven snorted, casting Wang YUanji a displeased glance. An Earthly Star dared to be so impudent in front of him.
“Discuss this when the time comes. I fear we may not even find the Five Emperors Seal. On the contrary, there really might be some Primordial True Spirit.” Lü Meng muttered, pondering over something.
The Wang Clan also spoke no further.
Then, a bright green cloud flew towards Connecting Valley from the horizon. THis Green Cloud was like a dam, obscuring a section of the forest. Two people appeared in the cloud, and one of them was Elder Under The Pine.
“Wang Clan, Lü Clan, This Old Man greets you.” Elder Under The Pine did not dare be neglectful upon seeing both forces.
The Wang Clan and the Lü Clan’s people did not acknowledge this and showed jeering expressions instead: “Elder Under The Pine, why don’t we see that direct disciple of yours?”
“Daoist would not have killed him right?”
“He would. As the disciple of a Lord Of Heaven, he was surprisingly played for a fool by a Human Immortal and threw away three Astral Crystals. If the Lü Clan had such a disciple, I would definitely show him.” Lü Meng laughed.
The Lü Clan’s disciples also let out laughs of ridiculed, not giving this Lord Of Heaven any face at all.
Elder Under The Pine forced himself to endure the displeasure. The Lü Clan was formidable, and the disciples of its sect completely did not respect any of the Cangwu Star Field’s Lords Of Heaven.
“He was short-sighted to have saved a little and lost a lot. This Old Man cultivated for centuries and has seen too many a cultivator like this. He may be complacent for a moment, but never complacent for a lifetime. This Old Man is not worried at all about his end.” Elder Under The Pine coldly answered.
“I heard that man is a Servant Star, beware his Star General.”
“Hmph, she is nothing more than an Earthly Fiend Spiritual Energy Star General.” Elder Under The Pine twitched his mouth and gave his disdainful assessment.
“Pity, he did not obtain a certificate. Otherwise, I truly would have wanted to personally play with him here in this Connecting Valley.” Lü Meng regretfully said.
“He ought to come. Perhaps, he is watching us right now.” Elder Under The Pine looked around. The cultivators hiding themselves in the verdant forest felt the Lord Of Heaven’s intimidation, and their breathing began to destabilize.
However, having heard from Nian Xuesong that man had a deterrent ability, Elder Under The Pine did not hope his would be able to flush out his opponent. “However, it he runs into This Old Man, he will definitely pay the price!”
“Yet those two mysterious people still have not arrived.”
The three groups looked around. Lü Meng said: “A disciple reports someone has seen two cloaked individuals already enter the Connecting Valley.”
“Since this is the case, then let us stop the chit-chat.” The middle-aged man of the Lü Clan had a peculiar expression, somewhat impatient.
Wang Xianzhi operated the Langya War Chariot. Its warhorses whinnied, and countless regular script, flying white, and other calligraphies flew in the surroundings. Wang Xianzhi brought out her own Star Weapon, which were two weapons that appeared to be a cross between a short sword and a writing brush. Indeed, the brush could kill. One brush was engraved with a phoenix biting down on a pellet as it flew about the brush; this one was named “Pill Cave Phoenix Dance.”3 The other brush was a spring disturbed by a ripple, a dragon soaring out; this was “Clear Spring Dragon Leap.”4
Wang Xianzhi pointed her weapons.
The calligraphy characters fluttered about.
The Langya War Chariot immediately charged into the Connecting Valley, reaching the depths in the blink of an eye, vanishing without a trace.
“Incredible, truly worthy of being called the Wang Clan’s ‘Second King.’ She is a Star General with the qualifications to reach the level of the Calligraphy Sage.” Lü Meng’s gaze lowered.
“Sister Lü Meng, let us go.” Lü Xiang said.
The Lü Clan’s disciples ten thousand swords all flew together, their Flying Swords overhead. The Lord Of Heaven also activated a magic treasure. This was a palace lantern with mirrors on four sides. THe palace lantern released the light of the sun and moon. The mirrors flashed like the cycles of the seasons.
The small lane in the Connecting Valley’s Primeval Chaos True Qi was cut open to a larger hole. Then, all of the Lü Clan’s filed in.
Elder Under The Pine stopped where he was for a while. Then, he glanced around before finally entering the valley.
Following the entry of the four main forces, the other cultivators also gradually increased in number. Among them were several Lord Of Heaven cultivators, however, they did not want to arouse vigilance at all and acted considerably low-profile.
Chen Mo was still unmoved. He used the Five Dragons Hibernation Art to restrain his presence and cover Mi Ji and Jiang Yuezhuo. This way, no one discovered them.
The conversation between the Lü and Wang Clans clearly entered his ear.
“What is the background of that Lord Of Heaven with the Lü Clan? That magic treasure just now was so powerful.” Chen Mo asked Mi Ji.
“The Lü Clan has Three Great Generals, Five Discourses, and ‘Twelve Almanac Hall Masters.’ That Lord Of Heaven should be the strongest of the Five Discourses. I remember that he is called Lü Yu.”5 Mi Ji thought: “His magic treasure is the ‘All Things Lantern,’ something very powerful.”
“That True Spirit they just mentioned…Don’t tell me that the Connecting Valley has a Primordial True Spirit guardian?” Chen Mo’s heart jumped. The figure of a snow-white hanfu surfaced in his mind.
“There is such a legend. Back when the Purple Rose Star Emperor scaled Maiden Mountain, he made the Primordial Heavenly Spirits Earthly Fiends Legion split off True Spirits to guard one hundred eight Star Wheel Points.6 They say that Connecting Valley is one of them.” Mi Ji nodded.
Jiang Yuezhuo apprehensively said: “Isn’t that very dangerous.” Even gods and demons shied away from a place that a Primordial True Spirit guarded. Those who intruded would be slaughtered without mercy.
“A thousand years have passed. These guardian True Spirits should have mostly dissipated by now.” Mi Ji actually was not very concerned. It was known that Connecting Valley had been searched by countless people over centuries, and no True Spirit had never been seen.
Although the interior of the Connecting Valley was known to very few, the best Star Generals had gone there before.
Hearing that the True Spirit had dissipated, there was suddenly a bit of disappointment in Chen Mo’s heart.
“What are you so disappointed about? Don’t tell me you actually wanted to bump into the True Spirit?” Mi Ji brushed the dirt off herself.
“When are we going? Everyone else has mostly gone in.” Mi Ji asked.
“Keep waiting.”
Chen Mo continued to use the Deva Eyes.
After seeing Chen Mo’s tricks, the Unknown Literati could not see through him, but she knew that he had his methods. She spoke no further. After a moment, they could already hear many screams and Demon Beast cries in the Connecting Valley.
All of a sudden, a silver light appeared on the horizon.
There were two women in the silver light.
Mi Ji froze.
Surprisingly, they were Lady Wei and her bodyguard female general. Twelve silver puppets also appeared under the silver light. These puppets rode white steeds and wore chainmail and cloaks. They carried silver spears and carried silver bows on their backs. Their eyes emitted a chilling glow, displaying impressive might.
They were all unexpectedly Star Soldiers.
Each of the cavalry troops bearing white armor and spears suprisingly had Yellow Court Realm cultivation.
“They should have all gone in. Let us go.” Lady Wei said to the female general beside her.
Their silver light entered the valley. The twelve Star Soldiers riding white horses penetrated the valley’s Primeval Chaos True Qi like white bullets.
“What a formidable formation.” Chen Mo stood up.
“Those Star Soldiers just now had very high Realms.” Jiang Yuezhuo said in wonder.
“That is the White Horse Cavalry.”7
Mi Ji was powerless.
