Chapter 427 – The Strange Immortal Domain
“Valuable Lord of the Valley, I’m afraid it won’t work now. The Divine Source is about to awaken – this is the grand tidal event of the Silent God Valley that occurs once every thousand years. At a time like this, I don’t think anyone would want to leave the Silent God Valley,” an elderly man with white hair quickly stepped forward and said.
Chen Yi paused for a moment, then his thoughts came rushing back.
The reason why Silent God Valley is stronger than all other Immortal Domains is not because its cultivation methods are superior or its people have exceptional talent—it is because of its location.
The Silent God Valley lies at the junction between the Immortal and Divine realms, and high-level auras exceeding that of the Immortal Spirit Source often seep out.
This makes cultivation in the Silent God Valley many times faster than in other Immortal Domains.
Moreover, the aura of the Divine Source is of a higher order than the Immortal Spirit Source, and those who absorb it gain far greater insight.
Naturally, cultivation speeds up tremendously.
But that is not the greatest secret of the Silent God Valley.
Its biggest mystery is that every thousand years, a much denser outpouring of Divine Source energy appears – an energy so potent that it can allow cultivators to easily break through major realms.
Even advancing past the Immortal Pill Emperor or reaching the Semi-Divine Realm becomes simple; in that moment, one day of cultivation is equivalent to several years.
For cultivators with high cultivation, this period is the culmination of all desire—a true chance to reach ever-greater heights.
Now that the Silent God Valley is about to welcome this once-in-a-thousand-year cultivation feast – that is, the Divine Source is about to awaken – naturally everyone does not wish to leave Silent God Valley at this time.
Chen Yi nodded. “In that case, let’s wait until after the Divine Tidal Event. Since Yu Qing is not leaving for any business at the moment, everyone will be treated equally. Even those who retrieve the Heavenly Gang Formation Flag will do so after the Divine Tide. I believe no one would want to miss this grand event.”
A woman stepped forward and respectfully bowed. “Many thanks, Valley Master. Please rest assured—after the Divine Tide, Yu Qing will definitely refine the Five Universe Immortal World, and she will take Lan Xiaobu to the Silent God Valley. Then, as per your orders, all will be set right.”
Chen Yi let out a hearty laugh. “Very well, that is settled.”
All the Immortal Pill Emperors in the grand hall heaved a sigh of relief.
The Heavenly Gang Formation Disk was valuable, but that item, taken back, did not belong to them—it belonged to the Silent God Valley.
Because anyone who went to retrieve the Heavenly Gang Formation Flag would have missed the chance to cultivate using the Divine Tide, and nobody would willingly make that sacrifice.
…
“Master Bu, I have obtained the ring of Bai Xun. Inside it, there truly is a top-grade Flying Artifact. I estimate it surpasses even the best Immortal Artifact,” Gong Yunqi said excitedly as he handed the ring of Bai Xun over to Lan Xiaobu.
The ring’s restrictions had already worn away.
“Judging from what you said, the person you killed must have origins even greater than that formidable, burly man with the twisted beard. Otherwise, the ring of Bai Xun would not have clung to him. Since it is yours now, keep it. I already have Feng Luan—I don’t need another Flying Artifact,” Lan Xiaobu replied, declining to take the ring from Gong Yunqi.
Gong Yunqi had followed him on their adventures, but he was not one of his subordinates.
So whatever items were seized from those Gong Yunqi had killed, they would not be reclaimed by him.
In the same way, the Immortal Pill items taken from the Immortal Pill Emperor by Nie Xiangyu were his to keep.
Even though Lan Xiaobu had helped Gong Yunqi many times over the years, Gong Yunqi had also aided him in return.
A year later, Feng Luan returned to the Five Universe Immortal World without any mishaps.
When word spread that they had obtained a Heavenly Gang Formation Flag, everyone in the Five Universe Immortal World was overjoyed.
This meant that the Five Universe Immortal World would survive the coming calamity.
After Lan Xiaobu laid out the exquisite Golden Immortal Vein, he used the formation base of the Heavenly Gang Formation Disk and one Heavenly Gang Formation Flag, setting them up in the Five Universe Immortal World by means of the Void Immortal Array and a low-level Divine Array.
He worried that if the calamity came while he was absent from the Five Universe Immortal World, having that item on him would only lead to trouble.
It was quite possible that he would not be in the Five Universe Immortal World, because Lan Xiaobu planned to enter seclusion and cultivate until he reached the Immortal Venerable realm, and then he would go to the Silent God Valley.
Silent God Valley was like a thorn; until it was eradicated, he would not feel at ease.
With Silent God Valley’s power, it was entirely possible for someone to trace that Fu Hen he had taken away.
Although he could use the World Protection Formation in the Five Universe Immortal World to block Silent God Valley, that defensive method was simply not Lan Xiaobu’s style.
If there was an enemy, he would hunt them down personally.
He could not bear the feeling of oppression should his enemy come seeking him.
That was one reason.
Another was that Lan Xiaobu wanted to see that junction of the Immortal and Divine realms in the Silent God Valley.
If that place indeed contained divine spiritual energy, then by harnessing that natural source, he could quickly break into the Immortal Pill Emperor realm.
Only by reaching the Immortal Pill Emperor realm could he openly seek out someone in the entire Immortal World.
No matter how far Luo Caisi ran, he would not escape the Immortal World.
…
With a dozen or so high-grade Immortal Spirit Veins, plus one Immortal Marrow Vein, and occasionally tapping into some exquisite Immortal Spirit Source from top-grade Immortal Spirit Veins, Lan Xiaobu’s cultivation soared.
In just seven short years, his cultivation rose from the Seventh Level of Immortal King to the Ninth Level of Immortal King.
In the ninth year, his cultivation of the Immortal King ninth level was perfected.
Thanks to the World Protection Formation set up by Lan Xiaobu in the Five Universe Immortal World, its rules were gradually self-improving, though it was a long-term process.
At this point, Lan Xiaobu was still unable to directly break into the Immortal Venerable realm within the Five Universe Immortal World.
He could only leave that realm to find a place to advance to the Immortal Venerable realm.
The Five Universe Immortal World was guarded by three powerful Immortal Pill Emperors – Gong Yunqi, Yan Huan, and Nie Xiangyu – as well as his Ninth-Level World Protection Immortal Formation.
Lan Xiaobu believed that even if another powerful Immortal Domain came over, they wouldn’t be able to tear open the protection of the Five Universe Immortal World with ease.
As for Silent God Valley, if it were to appear, he would be the first to know.
So, after giving instructions to Gong Yunqi and the other two, Lan Xiaobu left the Five Universe Immortal World.
He didn’t know when the calamity in the Immortal World would come, but he couldn’t stay there forever waiting.
After leaving the Five Universe Immortal World, the first thing Lan Xiaobu did was search for the Silent God Valley.
He needed to locate its position and set up some Entrapping Kill Formations.
Unless he completely dealt with Silent God Valley, he wouldn’t dare to proceed with his own plans.
As long as Silent God Valley existed, looking for Luo Caisi would only bring harm to both sides.
In Lan Xiaobu’s eyes, that trashy place called Silent God Valley was worth being annihilated ten thousand times.
This time when he left the Five Universe Immortal World, Lan Xiaobu did not use Feng Luan.
Instead, he brought out the Reincarnation Cauldron.
The Reincarnation Cauldron was a top-grade Flying Artifact, and its defensive abilities were far beyond those of ordinary artifacts.
Its only drawback was that it was a bit too ugly.
Moreover, there was nothing inside the Reincarnation Cauldron—it was just a cauldron.
Riding in this Flying Artifact was essentially like flying inside a pot.
Inside the Reincarnation Cauldron, Lan Xiaobu simply refined a small cave-dwelling; he just didn’t want to really lie there flying around.
Silent God Valley was so far from the Five Universe Immortal World that if he went by Feng Luan’s speed it might have taken four to five years.
Before, Lan Xiaobu had merely guessed that the speed of the Reincarnation Cauldron was faster than Feng Luan’s—and he had never expected just how much faster it truly was.
Now, sitting in the Reincarnation Cauldron and pushing its speed to the limit, he could clearly tell how fast it was.
Compared to the Reincarnation Cauldron, Feng Luan was nothing even close to a sibling.
In less than two months, the outline of the Silent God Valley appeared on Lan Xiaobu’s positional disc.
After a few more days, his divine sense could sweep across the location of the Silent God Valley.
Standing on the outskirts of the Silent God Valley, Lan Xiaobu folded up the Reincarnation Cauldron.
In front of him lay a stretch of void—a void no different from any other.
Yet Lan Xiaobu knew very well that deep within this void was hidden the strongest place in the Immortal World: the Silent God Valley.
For several days, Lan Xiaobu observed the area outside the Silent God Valley, then he began setting up his great formations.
He first arranged an Entrapping Kill Immortal Formation, a vast entrapping array that surpassed even the Ninth-Level Immortal Array in power—or you might call it a basic Divine Array.
Being able to set up such a Divine Array, Lan Xiaobu felt he should be grateful to the Heavenly Pivot Great Emperor.
Were it not for the Heavenly Pivot Great Emperor’s methods, his understanding of formations, even if improved somewhat, would never have allowed him to set up a Divine Array like this.
Following the Divine Array, he arranged various Entrapping Kill Immortal Arrays, intermingled with Void Entrapping Kill Arrays and Strangling Arrays, and then proceeded with Illusory Kill Immortal Arrays.
After all these great formations were in place, Lan Xiaobu set up a Teleportation Array.
He had come here to scope out the area, and he wasn’t ready to act yet—he first planned to leave and find a place to advance into the Immortal Venerable realm.
As Kuang Qi had mentioned before about how to enter Silent God Valley, Lan Xiaobu didn’t attempt it—nor did he want to.
In a place like that, once he entered, he would definitely be noticed.
Next time he comes, it will be when Silent God Valley has been completely eradicated.
Referring to his positional chart of the Immortal World void, Lan Xiaobu checked the nearest Immortal Domain, which was called Thunder Gourd Immortal Domain.
Lan Xiaobu had heard of this Immortal Domain before.
This time, among the Immortal Domains on Void Island in the Chaotic Secret Realm, apart from Mysterious River Immortal Domain, it seemed that no one had visited Thunder Gourd Immortal Domain either.
Was there something wrong with this Immortal Domain?
Whether or not there was any issue, his intention was simply to use this Immortal Domain to undergo a calamity and advance into the Immortal Venerable realm.
He would go take a look first, and if it didn’t work out, he could still advance into the Immortal Venerable realm within the void.
In merely half a month, the Reincarnation Cauldron came to a stop outside a massive Immortal Domain.
This Immortal Domain was wrapped in a thick layer of atmospheric energy, as if it were encased in a padded garment.
What puzzled Lan Xiaobu was that, although this Immortal Domain had an Immortal Domain Protective Formation, there was no one guarding outside the formation.
After entering the Immortal Domain, Lan Xiaobu discovered that the sky here was a gray, hazy mess and everything seemed devoid of life.
Even the plants were wilted.
Lan Xiaobu sensed that the rules of Heaven and Earth here were fine—he could certainly use the Heavenly and Earthly Qi here to advance into the Immortal Venerable realm.
But standing in this place, Lan Xiaobu couldn’t shake the feeling that something was off.
Could it be that this Immortal Domain had encountered some problem? After a moment’s hesitation, Lan Xiaobu summoned Feng Luan; he wanted to search for an Immortal City to take a look.
After some time, Feng Luan came to a stop in an open wasteland, and his divine sense detected an Immortal City.
As soon as Lan Xiaobu’s divine sense focused on this Immortal City, he immediately sensed that something was wrong—it was as if calamity had truly occurred.
In the Immortal City as perceived by his divine sense, everything appeared intact; the shops looked normal, yet no one was around.
The streets and alleys were completely empty.
In some of the shops’ shelves, there were even goods waiting to be sold.
As his divine sense penetrated further, he discovered that some shops with broken restrictions had accumulated thick layers of dust.
Clearly, this Immortal City had been deserted for quite some time.
