Sypnosis:

The world is split into Yin and Yang and is made up by the 5 elements.

On the ancient divine central continent under the heavens, it is currently the prosperous era of the cultivators where billions of lives thrive.

In the far-reaching lands, there are always happiness and sadness, reunion and separation of the mortal world happening in the long lives of those walking the path of the immortals.

The light is always accompanied by darkness. Under the radiance of the heavens, there are silent shadows moving about

There is a flicker of light in the darkness

On a night when the moon and stars are absent, there isnt a single ray of light in the Mist Barren Lost Valley. Other than the fleeting spark of flame that could be vaguely seen in the faraway core of the valley, most of its territory is shrouded in endless darkness.

The night scene has a desolate feeling to it while the fleeting melody of the wind felt slightly chilling. As it blew, layer after layer of darkness floated upwards like the waves of the sea. This is the fog unique to this valley.

The valley is enormous. If it was in the day, one could see the incredible sight of towering mountains rising all around. But, in the dark, one could only vaguely see some tall silhouettes, reminiscent of a solemn giant standing on this plot of land.

In the center of two mountains facing the northwest lies the one and only entrance and exit of this Mist Barren Lost Valley. Outside the valley, on an equally rugged, winding and arduous mountainous path, there is a silhouette of a human walking towards the entrance.

A killing intent emerges suddenly from the darkness. Up ahead on the mountainous path, a voice of a person could be heard, a mutter of some sort. The silhouette of the person who is walking to the entrance pauses for a moment. Using the slight radiance present in the night sky, it could be seen that the man approaching the valley is a youth dressed fully in black.

Yun Jian continues, Right, Xiao Qing is here tonight as well. She will probably reach here a while later. Will you be waiting for her here?

Hei Lang shakes his head and replies, The elder has given me one last pill of Blood Soul Crystal to enter the valley for the Fallen God Curse. Its just that when the God Curse occurs, I should be unable to exit. It will be better for me to meet her after I leave the valley.

Yun Jians eyebrows shoots upwards as he looks at Hei Lang with an unreadable look on his face. After a few seconds, he sighs, The Blood Soul Crystal is a rare and precious treasure. Only a person of your capabilities would be able to obtain it. No wonder my father seems to be treating you even more intimately than this true son of his here.

Hei Lang lifts his head, looks at Yun Jian and frowns. He seems to want to say something but in that instant, Yun Jian laughs and says, Alright, I am just teasing you. After all, given our relationship, do I still need to doubt you? After saying these, he seems to have thought of something as a playful look appears on his face. He says to Hei Lang, Right, after you are done with the matter, hurry up and return back to me. Xiao Qing would most probably have a secret that she would want to tell you.

Hei Lang stuns for a moment and immediately asks, Secret? What secret?

Yun Jian smiles, If I were to say it, then will it still be considered a secret? Hurry up and go, just remember to find us after you return.

Hei Lang ponders over it and nods his head slightly in reply, Alright.

After saying this, he nods in farewell towards Yun Jian before turning around and leaving with big steps. Not too long later, he walks down the hill and enters the valley, disappearing into the boundless darkness.

After Hei Lang has been gone for 10 minutes, there seems to be motion at the foot of the hill once again. After a short moment, a light sound could be heard and a slim figure comes flying upwards. In midair, the figure skillfully turns around and lands perfectly beside Yun Jian. The figure is a beautiful lady.

A slightly joyful look appears on Yun Jians face when he caught sight of her but after seeing how she jumped to his side, he frowns and humph, Nonsense! Arent you afraid that you might just get careless and fall downwards. At that point, it would be too late for regrets.

The beautiful lady smiles mischievously in response. It seems that she is very close with Yun Jian. She grabs his arms and says, There is big brother here, what do I have to fear!

Yun Jian shakes his head and smiles bitterly, How could I have such a heartless little sister. Oh right, Hei Lang has just departed from here and entered the valley.

The little sister that he spoke of refers to this beautiful lady named Yun Xiao Qing. After giving out a sound of ah, she looks towards the valley and complains to Yun Jian, Seriously! Big brother, why didnt you stop him? You knew that I have something to tell him.

Yun Jian shakes his head and said, His task is urgent. He has to send the Blood Soul Crystal to the Daljara Array in the valley and wait for the Fallen God Curse to activate. He also must assist father and the other elders, so it really isnt appropriate for him to be delayed here for too long.
