Chapter 1298: Hidden Dragon Valley
This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml
“It appears we can’t avoid a confrontation with this Gu Lianhun. It’s fortunate we learned of this sooner rather than later. We should think of a plan to best deal with him before it begins…”
The Frostfeather Saint suggested. He hadn’t any grudges against Gu Lianhun, but he was allied with Shen Pojun and Bai Yunfei. If the two sides fought, the Frostfeather Saint definitely wouldn’t be able to stay on the sidelines, he had to choose a side.
If Gu Lianhun was trapped in the same array the Saint of Fate died in, it was possible he had the remnants of whatever the Saint of Fate left behind. And that meant the Frostfeather Saint would have to fight him if he wanted the class nine soulgem.
“Gu Lianhun became a Saint two hundred years ago, he’s most likely a Mid-stage Soul Saint. I don’t believe there to be enough energy to train in within the array, so it’s unlikely he’s a Late-stage Soul Saint. Given the time he’s been trapped, I don’t believe he’ll be in his prime fighting status. As long as we plan accordingly…we may be able to win!!”
He didn’t really believe in their chances if he or the Frostfeather Saint fought a Mid-stage Soul Saint individually. But if they fought together with a plan, it may indeed be possible to win.
Neither of them were willing to give up on the Supreme Saint’s Inheritance, Gu Lianhun wasn’t that big of a deterrence.
“That’s right! We’re all at our peak strength, we’ll definitely win if we fight accordingly! His avatar didn’t do well against me before, we’ll be able to reenact that same scene!”
Bai Yunfei nodded. He already had the beginnings of a plan ready for Gu Lianhun. Instead of being frightened at the prospect of fighting against a Mid-stage Soul Saint, Bai Yunfei was actually excited about it…
A Mid-stage Soul Saint!! How could anyone not be excited to plan against such a person?!
Jing Mingfeng had to suppress a shiver at the excitement sadism in Bai Yunfei’s eyes. “Ol’--Ol’Bai…are you actually thinking about fighting with them? It’s crazy…are you suicidal?!”
“Haha, it’s not like I haven’t done it before…relax. I’ll put you in the Core World, you’ll be safe there.”
“Ancestor,” He turned back to Shen Pojun, “let’s continue back toward Hidden Dragon Valley. We can talk about our plan on the way.”
“I agree, let’s go.”
They continued onward with Jing Mingfeng traveling next to Bai Yunfei. “Ol’Bai, can I ask you to wait for me a second. I have to go back to where I’m living in for a second and bring Xiao Feng with me.” He pointed to a mountain to their right.
“Xiao Feng?” Bai Yunfei repeated, “The wind howler you have as a soulbeast partner? I was wondering why I didn’t see it earlier, so it was training?”
“Yeah, we managed to kill an early-stage class eight wildbeast yesterday, a wind-type. Xiao Feng took the class eight soulgem and went into meditation. He’s close to becoming a late-stage class seven now.”
“Oh? He’s already at such a level?” Bai Yunfei was surprised. It might’ve seem less impressive knowing the wind howler’s power compared to Jing Mingfeng, but the rate of training for a soulbeast was vastly different than that to a soul cultivator. A pace like this was shockingly fast for most soulbeasts.
“I’ll go with you then, it can keep training in the Core World…Ancestor, we’ll be right back.”
He waved to the group before following Jing Mingfeng back to where he resided.
Bai Yunfei met the wind howler a while later. Due to it living in such a dangerous environment, the wind howler had evidently given up on humanization so it could dedicate all its energy to training. Much like Xiao Qi, Xiao Feng was not willing to lose out on more power by humanizing.
Bai Yunfei and Jing Mingfeng sent the wind howler into the Core World before returning to Shen Pojun. Then together, the group flew off in the direction of Hidden Dragon Valley…
……
Half a day later. At the destroyed mountain where Jing Mingfeng fought the wildbeast. Gu Jimie and Shangguan Xiongyan suddenly appeared in the skies above it.
“They stopped here for a while, it appears they fought a wildbeast here.”
Shangguan Xiongyan surveyed the area around them for a while. He didn’t appear to see anything interesting, so he cocked his head down to inspect the mirror in his hand.
“Let’s continue this way then.” He spoke after a while.
He didn’t really care much about the reason why the group must’ve stopped here. It was most likely just to fight with a rampaging wildbeast and nothing more.
Unfortunately for them, the two overlooked an advantage that would’ve served them greatly…
……
Five days later.
“This is Hidden Dragon Valley? It lives up to its name…this place is magnificent!”
Bai Yunfei cried out in surprise and marvel at the sight around him.
The range of mountains was curving slightly now, like a serpent. It was shaped so that the tail looked almost exactly like a giant dragon that was crouching low in a way that was breath-taking to see.
The giant dragon-shaped mountain range surrounded a deep valley, or in other words, Hidden Dragon Valley.
It was said at that behind Hidden Dragon Valley was an unknown piece of land. No information was ever made known at this place, but many said that all sorts of class nine wildbeasts lived here.
Bai Yunfei was excited to see what this ‘uncharted land’ contained. He was here at the destination, so it was time to slow down for now.
According to what the Saint of Fate recorded, this place was the battlefield of the giant battle he had with the class nine wildbeast. It might’ve been a fierce battle, but the passage of time already healed and covered up the scars of that mighty battle. Six hundred years of time was just far too long for them to know where the battle was.
Terrain-wise, the Hidden Dragon Valley was quite similar to Black Cloud Valley. A layer of fog covered a majority of the valley and protected it from the eyes of outsiders. Not even soulsense would allow a person to navigate through this area well.
The group soon touched down in an area near the valley so they could begin walking in it.
This place was rumored to be the nesting ground of a class nine wildbeast. Its ‘master’ might’ve died a long time ago, but most other wildbeasts would probably avoid this area for some time longer. The group didn’t even come across any soulbeasts while they walked in the valley.
Soon, the group arrived at the end of Hidden Dragon Valley to where a small lake was.
“It should be here! The pocket dimension is in this lake, but…why haven’t we found it yet?”
Jing Mingfeng stared excitedly around and above the lake with his soulsense, but found nothing. He glanced at Li Chengfeng, but the other male didn’t seem to know either.
“It’s here all right, I can sense something peculiar in the air here. That has to be the entrance.”
Shen Pojun’s eyes were focused on the air above the lake. Jing Mingfeng and Li Chengfeng weren’t strong enough to sense the aberration, but not Shen Pojun. He and the Frostfeather Saint were sensitive enough to the environment to see the strange flow of spatial energy.
Bai Yunfei was actually able to sense it as well. His senses, in this regard, was much sharper than the two Saints. He could feel the presence of the pocket dimension just twenty meters above the lake’s surface.
It wasn’t because he was stronger than the two Saints, Bai Yunfei had something aiding him…the Core Stone.
The Core Stone, essentially, was the ‘penultimate’ pocket dimension. With the spirit awake, there was no other pocket dimension that could compare to it.
Bai Yunfei didn’t have to worry about opening up an entrance to the pocket dimension since there were two Saints there. Besides, the information left behind by the Saint of Fate and the Wind Saint were both meticulous. It wouldn’t take long to breach into the pocket dimension.
Shen Pojun and Frostfeather Saint both gave each other a nod before focusing their soulforce to their hands and disseminating it.
Revealing the pocket dimension wasn’t hard. They just needed a large amount of power to attack the entrance to forcibly reveal it.
“Boom!”
“Boom!!”
A red beam escaped from Shen Pojun and a white beam from the Frostfeather Saint. Together, they traveled toward the same part above the lake and exploded against each other with devastating force. The water beneath the lake trembled as space fractured above it, revealing a gray whirlpool several meters in diameter.
This was the entrance to the pocket dimension. The place where the Supreme Saint’s Inheritance was. It was as the Saint of Fate described it. Excitement filled the eyes of everyone there.
Without waiting, the group leaped into the sky and quickly disappeared like pebbles in a body of water into this whirlpool…
