Chapter 570: The Beginning!
“An alchemist…”
Upon hearing this, Su Yi couldn’t help but give Si Xiuyuan a more intense look. According to Sect Leader Situ Liuyun, there had been a disciple of an elder who was also an alchemist. This disciple had been eliminated early from the Battlefield of Ten Thousand Swords due to a lack of Sword-patterned Stones. Su Yi couldn’t help but wonder if it was this Si Xiuyuan who had been mentioned.
“Swoosh…”
As Su Yi and Situ Muyang dismounted from their demon beast mounts, they drew curious glances from all around. Some nodded in approval, while others looked on with interest.
Gong Qi stared at Su Yi, her eyes briefly widening. She pouted her slightly reddened lips, while Mu Yao shot a quick glance at him.
Liu Yunchuan, Ou Luo, Gu Chenyou, and Ou Yangran exchanged glances with Su Yi, each nodding subtly.
A dark and cold gaze met Su Yi’s. Following the look, he found Yun Lingfeng, whose eyes seemed filled with bitterness and coldness.
Yun Lingfeng’s face had remained pale for several days, but now he appeared to be recovering well, and there were no significant concerns.
Su Yi was secretly amazed. It seemed that the Xuanyuan Soaring Dragon Pill was indeed a remarkable treasure. Despite Yun Lingfeng’s serious injuries, he had almost fully recovered in just a week.
“The sect leader and the elders.”
Su Yi didn’t pay attention to Yun Lingfeng and instead respectfully approached Elders Situ Liuyun and Yu Changqing. He showed little interest in Elder Bai Mingshan.
The elders, including Yu Changqing, smiled and nodded at Su Yi. There was no sign of arrogance or pride in their manner, but the glimmer of regret in their eyes was evident. They had never taken such a disciple into their sect.
“Is everyone here? Then let’s get started,” Situ Liuyun said, raising his voice.
“Boom!”
As his words faded, the valley ahead began to tremble.
A deep rumble echoed through the air, and an intense beam of light shot up from an unknown source. Strangely, the sky above the valley dimmed.
The extraordinary event lasted only for a moment, after which everything returned to normal.
“What an unsettling feeling…”
The sudden change caused a chilling and terrifying presence to spread throughout the valley, causing the young disciples to shiver in fear, their souls trembling.
The elders, including Sect Leader Situ Liuyun, focused intently on the valley, their expressions slightly tense.
Soon after, Situ Liuyun’s gaze swept across the disciples before him, and he said,
“Later, a few of the elders will join forces to open the Divine Sword Valley. In the past, only one person was allowed to enter through the opening. However, this time, some changes have occurred inside the Divine Sword Valley, and it is expected that all of you will be able to enter.
However, you must be very careful. You have only twelve hours to complete your tasks, and after that, you must return the same way you came. Once the exit closes, you will be trapped inside forever. Whether you gain anything inside the valley will depend entirely on your luck. While the twelve hours may seem safe, the Divine Sword Valley is a mysterious place, and it hides many unknown dangers. Please, be cautious. Do you all understand?”
“I understand!”
The disciples responded eagerly, their eyes shining with anticipation.
This time, everyone had the opportunity to gain something extraordinary. It was widely known that those who could obtain the inheritance left behind by the Divine Sword School’s founder would rise to great heights.
The elders exchanged looks with each other and nodded subtly, their eyes gleaming with hidden meaning.
“Whoosh…”
Without warning, five elders rose into the air, moving in different directions to form a grand and majestic spectacle. Light representing gold, wood, water, fire, and earth emanated from each of them, merging to fill the valley with a powerful aura.
The elders gathered their energy and performed hand seals. A brilliant light exploded from their bodies, like falling stars. The air seemed to freeze as the enormous power released by the elders caused the entire valley to feel still. The disciples found it hard to breathe, as if an immense weight was pressing down on their chests.
“Chirp chirp…”
In the hands of the five elders, the lights representing gold, wood, water, fire, and earth flickered and moved. Each elder sent a stream of energy to one of the five corners of the valley.
“Boom…”
As the energy streams were released, the valley seemed to awaken. The sky darkened further, and the edges of the valley lit up with dazzling light.
A tremendous and mysterious presence filled the air, causing the ground to shake and the mountains to tremble!
The feeling was so intense that it seemed as though gods and demons were awakening from within the Divine Sword Valley, shaking the souls of those nearby!
Su Yi narrowed his eyes, sensing the mysterious and frightening aura again.
The feeling didn’t come from Su Yi’s sharp spiritual perception, but from his Supreme Chaotic Yuan Technique, which seemed to have sensed the strange presence within his body. But just as quickly, the sensation vanished, leaving no trace behind.
Swoosh!
As light burst forth from all around, Situ Liuyun waved his long sleeves, gracefully rising into the air above the valley.
As he focused his energy, brilliant light radiated from his body. A surge of power emerged, and Situ Liuyun appeared within the valley’s depths.
“Boom, boom…”
With the burst of light, the valley’s emptiness rumbled, and a portal tore open in space.
The portal shimmered with an ancient aura, and it reverberated with a deep, resonating sound.
“The exit has opened, but it will only remain open for twelve hours at most. Enter quickly, and remember to return before the time is up. The consequences of being late are unimaginable!” Situ Liuyun’s voice echoed in everyone’s ears.
“Swoosh…”
As he finished speaking, the disciples in front of the valley rushed forward and entered the open portal.
“We go, but don’t let anyone steal the spotlight!”
Situ Muyang said to Su Yi as he moved swiftly, following closely behind.
Su Yi, without hesitation, followed suit. Inside, his energy surged and flowed within him.
Su Yi felt the persistent sense of the mysterious and terrifying aura, leading him to believe that Divine Sword Valley might not be a safe place. Caution would be necessary.
Inside the portal, a vast, shining light filled the space, carrying an ancient presence.
Ripples danced through the portal space, and one by one, the figures emerged.
Separated by the portal, it felt as though two completely different worlds existed.
The figures who emerged looked around in awe, taken aback by the strange and eerie environment before them.
The place was unnaturally dark, with barren, lifeless ground. The mountains seemed to connect endlessly, and there were no signs of life. It felt desolate, full of silence.
Above them, a dark expanse loomed, as if the sky were covered by a thick curtain.
The eerie stillness of the place felt wrong, as though time had lost all meaning. The silence was so complete that it allowed one to hear the beating of their own heart.
Eighteen young figures landed gracefully, their eyes scanning the surroundings in awe.
“This is the Divine Sword Valley,” Situ Muyang said, his voice filled with reverence. “Here lie the graves of powerful cultivators from past generations of the Divine Sword School, our esteemed ancestors.”
