Chapter 47 - Within the Thousand Year Valley

Three days had passed since the Thousand Autumn Valley was surrounded.

Within the Thousand Autumn Valley at the moment.

On the top floor of Moon Pavilion.

“Strange, it’s really strange.”

A small figure raised her head and looked at the light screen outside the Thousand Autumn Valley. She watched the dense mist closely, as if the changes in the entire array formation could not escape her eyes.

If anyone else was here, they would definitely recognize this figure at a glance. It was the most beloved junior sister in the sect, Ling Jieyu.

Unlike the library and the sect’s secret vault, the Moon Pavilion was a private residence. The Sixth Elder, Liu Chuanyuan, had lived there for many years and had set up countless restrictive formations inside.

By right, even the other elders could not barge in.

It was unimaginable that someone like Ling Jieyu was able to quietly arrive at the top floor of Moon Pavilion without alerting anyone!

“According to the plan, the Five Elements Sect’s Five Elements Sky-Sealing Formation should only be activated five years later. Why… why did it suddenly get activated now?”

Ling Jieyu narrowed her eyes slightly. Her bright eyes showed a level of intelligence that did not match her age.

Based on her original plan, she had five years to lay the foundation, so that she had enough time to slowly search for the inheritance. Then, she would arrange for an accident to happen, one in which “Junior Sister Ling Jieyu” would die. That was how she had intended to retreat after completing the mission successfully.

By then, no matter what the Xuanwu imperial court wanted to do to the Thousand Autumn Valley, it would have nothing to do with her.

But now…

Ling Jieyu suddenly felt anxious for no reason.

“Something must have happened that made the imperial court decide to take action in advance. However, that means I’m also trapped inside now…”

The girl pursed her lips and a trace of worry appeared on her youthful face.

After a while, she shook her head and patted her face hard. She left the Moon Pavilion quietly as if she was simply out taking a stroll.

At this moment, a tall figure walked towards her from the opposite direction and spoke to her with a look of surprise.

“Junior Sister Ling, where did you go just now? I haven’t been able to find you!”

“Eldest Brother, I suddenly had an epiphany just now, so I wanted to take a walk and see if I could hold on to that feeling.”

The girl smiled sweetly. Then, a trace of panic appeared on her beautiful face. “But it seems that the valley has become very chaotic since a while back. And that light screen outside… What exactly happened?”

“Don’t worry. No matter what happens, I’m here.”

Seeing her like this, Bai Canghai tried to comfort her by saying, “Furthermore, you might not know this, but the sect master has already come out of seclusion and successfully stepped into the Primal Core Realm. With just three slashes, he killed three Dao Platform Realm Champions!”

Even though he was only recalling what happened, he still felt a strong surge of emotions.

“The sect master came out of seclusion, and he killed three Dao Platform Realm cultivators?”

Ling Jieyu was slightly shocked, but she controlled her expression well and showed only a trace of admiration on her face. “As expected of the sect master. I wonder when I can reach that level?”

Bai Canghai ruffled her hair and smiled, “With your talent and with enough time, sooner or later… yes, sooner or later, you will be able to achieve it.”

Exactly.

As long as there was enough time.

Bai Canghai did not continue talking. Time was what the Thousand Autumn Valley lacked the most at the moment.

“Junior Sister Ling, the restrictions on the library have been completely lifted, and our sect’s secret vault is also opened. We might have to go through many battles soon. Even with the old sect master and the elders around, we must also strengthen ourselves as much as possible.”

At this point, Bai Canghai smiled, “I am about to have a breakthrough soon. If you have time, you should go to the library to take a look as well.”

The girl nodded obediently. No one could tell what she was thinking.

Suddenly, she looked up at the young man. “Eldest Brother, where is that Feng Xia now…”

Bai Canghai’s face stiffened and he said solemnly, “Junior Sister Ling, you must call him Senior Feng.”

Only a fool would call him Senior Feng!

He had not even opened his Mystical Wheel and only relied on an incomplete Dao Platform that he somehow manifested. Then, he had come to the Thousand Autumn Valley to swindle everyone. Even Eldest Brother had been deceived by him!

However, she could not really mention all these—after all, she would not be able to explain her source of information.

Ling Jieyu pouted and nodded obediently. “That Senior Feng… what is he doing now?”

The girl then pondered for a moment before continuing carefully, “Eldest Brother, I know you admire that senior. However, ever since he came to the Thousand Autumn Valley, several senior brothers have been beaten up by him. Now, the Thousand Autumn Valley is even trapped and surrounded by other sects. Do you think it’s him…”

“Junior Sister Ling, there are some things that you can’t say without evidence!”

This time, Bai Canghai’s expression darkened, “You might not know this, but Senior Feng has played a huge role in the old sect master’s breakthrough. Furthermore, Senior Feng is a warm-hearted person. Not only did he stay behind even when our sect was in trouble, he even generously imparted his cultivation technique to us….”

“Eh?”

Ling Jieyu was stunned by what she heard.

Was it because of Feng Xia that the old sect master succeeded in breaking through to the next level?

Also, this fellow had only cultivated her First Ancestor’s Floating Dream Three Lives Technique. Could it be that he had imparted her First Ancestor’s cultivation technique to others?

At the thought of this possibility, Ling Jieyu became a little anxious.

Her First Ancestor’s cultivation technique was the supreme sacred scripture of the Three Lives Hall. How could it be imparted to others so easily?

Without a thought about appearances, she grabbed the hem of her skirt and dashed out like a streak of lightning, leaving Bai Canghai in a daze for a long time before he chased after her with a strange expression on his face.

“That’s strange. When did Junior Sister Ling become so fast? Even if I opened my Mystical Wheel and unleashed my full speed, I think I won’t even be that fast?”

Ling Jieyu quickly arrived at the open area and looked around. Soon, she found the young man she was looking for.

The young man was squatting by a pond with a faint smile on his face. Around him was a large group of disciples from the Thousand Year Valley, listening attentively to what he was saying.

“I finally found you!”

The girl immediately went over quietly. “Let me take a look for myself at what crap you’re talking about! If you dare to impart the sacred scripture, even if my identity is exposed, I’ll…”

However, in the next moment, Ling Jieyu was stunned.

She heard the white-robed young man laugh loudly and said, “Today, we’re going to talk about the Eight Dragons Sacred Heart Technique… Uh, you’re asking how this technique is related to the Nine Dragons Sacred Heart Technique of the royal family?”

“They’re not related at all.”

“It just so happens that the names of the two cultivation techniques are very similar, and they both happen to be body refining cultivation techniques. Also, I’m not a member of the royal family! Don’t let your imagination run wild at this time!”

“Alright, continue listening to my explanation.”

“There’s a saying that the path of cultivation is to create qi within one’s body, then to nourish one’s body with the qi, and then nourish one’s spirit with the body. Even for a body refining cultivation technique, the principle of nourishing one’s body with qi remains the same…”
