The Mystery of That Year! (4K)

Yun Qianyue was currently in the sky above the boundless mountains and forests.

A group of Xiuzhenzhe flew in on their swords, their Daoist Robes embroidered with a cloud on the chest.

"They're from the Cloudglow Sect."

Yun Qianyue recognized the origins of this group of Xiuzhenzhe.

Cloudglow Sect is one of the High Antiquity Sects, existing in the same era as Heavenly Sect.

Although the Cloudglow Sect was far weaker than the Tianzong Heavenly Sect, the number one Sword Dao Holy Land in the world at that time, the sect leader of the Cloudglow Sect was a High Antiquity Great Expert, the Cloudglow Sect also had the sect's ultimate Supreme Lore "Cloudglow Divine Art", and recruited many geniuses.

Why is the Cloudglow Sect here?

Yun Qianyue searched through her memories of her past life, but for a moment she couldn't recall why the Cloudglow Sect was here.

The person leading the team was none other than the sect leader of the Cloudglow Sect.

The fact that the sect leader of the Cloudglow Sect had to personally take action must mean it was a major event.

They were all unable to sense Yun Qianyue's presence.

Just then, another group of Xiuzhenzhe arrived on their swords.

The Cloudglow Sect only sent a few thousand experts, while this group of Xiuzhenzhe was a vast and powerful force, numbering in the tens of thousands.

Upon seeing the newcomers, the Cloudglow Sect immediately stopped.

Yun Qianyue turned her head and her pupils dilated in shock.

The people who arrived were none other than the Elders and disciples of the Heavenly Sect!

There was also a woman who looked exactly like her.

This is myself in a past life!

"Miss Yun, I never expected to run into you here."

The sect leader of the Cloudglow Sect treated the disciple of the Sect Master of the Heavenly Sect with great courtesy.

The head disciple of the Sect Master of the Heavenly Sect is the Eldest Disciple, whose status is even higher than that of the Cloudglow Sect Master.

At this time, Yun Qianyue was only at the Immortal Emperor Realm, which did not affect her status.

"Our master is still in seclusion and will emerge soon. Let us first join up with the various Sects."

"I see. Gu Sect Master's cultivation is already unfathomable, and now that he's in seclusion, his power will be unimaginable. This time, the Heaven-Swallowing Demon Insects are doomed."

Upon hearing that the Heavenly Sect Sect Master was in seclusion, the Cloudglow Sect Heavenly Sect Sect Master felt even more admiration for him.

"Now that our two Sects have met, let's go together to the entrance of the Life-Ending Valley and reunite with the other Sects."

"That suits me perfectly."

The two Sects formed a larger team and headed to the Life-Ending Valley.

"It seems this is the time to eradicate the fully grown Heaven-Swallowing Demon Insects of Life-Ending Valley."

Yun Qianyue in the present world thought about the era in which this Spacetime existed.

In High Antiquity, the insect swarms of Life-Ending Valley wreaked havoc in all directions, causing great harm to Human Race cities and Sects within a radius of millions of miles, leaving the surrounding areas deserted.

The swarm is still expanding outwards, and if we stand idly by, more Human Race cities and Sects will be devoured by the swarm.

Therefore, the Heavenly Sect, the number one Sword Dao Sects in the world, called on other Human Race Sects to gather in the Life-Ending Valley to jointly fight against the Heaven-Swallowing Demon Insects.

This is why the Cloudglow Sect is here.

Yun Qianyue followed behind.

Her emotions gradually stirred, mixed with nervousness and unease.

She knew that she would soon meet her master from her previous life.

At the entrance of the Life-Ending Valley, a sea of people gathered, with hundreds of Sects.

Those sects that are qualified to receive an invitation from the Heavenly Sect are all Sects with some strength. Each Sects sends thousands or even tens of thousands of disciples, creating a huge crowd.

"The Heavenly Sect has arrived."

"That's the number one Sword Dao Sects in the world. Such a powerful aura."

From their Sect Master to their disciples, all the Sects were filled with awe and respect upon the arrival of the Heavenly Sect.

Heavenly Sect, Holy Land in the hearts of all sword cultivators.

The Sword Art of the Sect Master of the Heavenly Sect is extraordinary and is regarded as the number one Sword Dao in the world.

The Elders of the Heavenly Sect were all skilled Sword Dao, each wielding a formidable Sword Qi aura.

The Sect Master of various sects approached at the entrance of the Life-Ending Valley: "Greetings, Elders of the Heavenly Sect. We'd like to greet Sect Master Gu..."

They couldn't find the Heavenly Sect Sect Master, who had initiated this operation, among the Heavenly Sect members, which puzzled them.

Only after the Heavenly Sect Sect Master intervened did they dare to lead their disciples to besiege the demonic insects of the Life-Ending Valley.

They couldn't handle the Heaven-Swallowing Demon Insects; only the Heavenly Sect Sect Master had the ability to kill Heaven-Swallowing Demon Insect.

They dared not enter the Life-Ending Valley unless the Heavenly Sect Sect Master arrived.

An Elder from the Heavenly Sect coldly said, "Everyone, there's no need to worry. Our Sect Master will arrive soon. Once he Sect Master, we will then attack the Life-Ending Valley."

"That puts our minds at ease."

These Sect Master were much more relieved.

The Heaven-Swallowing Demon Insect is Remote Antiquity Devil Creature; even Great Expert cannot withstand its potent poison Heaven-Swallowing Demon Insect.

They only need to wait for the arrival of the Heavenly Sect Sect Master before launching a full-scale attack on the Life-Ending Valley and completely eliminating this Life-Ending Valley danger.

Millions of Xiuzhenzhe camped out in the Life-Ending Valley, creating a lively scene.

"Isn't this Master Zhou True Person from the Heavenly Master Sect?"

"So it's Sect Master Tian from Qiyun Mountain. I've long admired your name; meeting you today, I can see you are indeed a peerless master."

"You flatter me. On the contrary, the Yellow Dragon Mountain Heavenly Master Sect has risen to prominence in recent years, supposedly due to your effective management as the Ninth-Generation Sect Master Heavenly Master Sect. If you have time, we might exchange some insights on governing a sect."

"That's easy to do."

"Fairy Qi of the Immortal Cloud Sect, I am Zhang Dahuo, the leader of the Thunderbolt Hall. I wonder if you would do me the honor of discussing the mysteries of the Great Dao with me?"

"Roll."

"Immortal Maiden Qi, don't be so heartless... Ouch, don't draw your sword, I'll just leave."

These sects talked among themselves while waiting for the arrival of the Heavenly Sect Sect Master.

Some sects also took this opportunity to strengthen their relationships with other sects.

After all, we see each other all the time.

In addition, the major sects must join forces to deal with the Demon Race.

The Heaven-Swallowing Demon Insect is considered a powerful Demon King, and the countless demon insects in the Life-Ending Valley are the Heaven-Swallowing Demon Insect's insect army.

The insectoid army in Life-Ending Valley numbered in the hundreds of millions. Even Sects the size of the Heavenly Sect could not eliminate all the poisonous insects in Life-Ending Valley.

That's why the Heavenly Sect summoned Sects of all sizes; as long as they were willing to contribute, the Heavenly Sect welcomed them to join the alliance.

The major Sects set up camp at the entrance of the Life-Ending Valley, blocking its exit, waiting for the arrival of the Heavenly Sect Sect Master so they could storm in.

"Master will be here soon."

Yun Qianyue waited in the shadows.

She remembered from her past life that the Heavenly Sect Sect Master would arrive soon.

At night, each sect sends out a few disciples to patrol around the camp, while the others go to bed or meditate and practice their skills.

Rustling...

Buzzing...

Squeak squeak squeak...

Within the Life-Ending Valley, the chirping of demonic insects could be heard intermittently.

No one took it seriously.

After all, the number of demonic insects in the Life-Ending Valley is countless, so it's perfectly normal to hear insects chirping at night.

Several Cloudglow Sect disciples formed a small team and patrolled the side of the Life-Ending Valley entrance near the interior of the valley.

"These beasts are barking all day long."

"It is said that after the surrounding Human Race cities were devoured by the demonic insects of the Life-Ending Valley, the number of these insects has increased dramatically."

"Moreover, the demonic insects in Life-Ending Valley have been more active than ever before. In the past, insect infestations around Life-Ending Valley were not unusual."

Why do you say that?

"The number of demonic insects in Life-Ending Valley fluctuates cyclically. When the Life-Ending Valley insects multiply rapidly and the food and Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi within Life-Ending Valley become insufficient, they will seek food elsewhere, thus causing an insect infestation. However, during their expansion, they will inevitably encounter powerful Human Race forces or even other Demon Race Tribes, resulting in mass casualties and a decrease in their numbers. They will then return to Life-Ending Valley to recuperate and await the next breeding season."

"The existence of the insect infestation poses a threat to the Human Race, but it also affects some Demon Race Tribes that pose a threat to Human Race. Therefore, the major Human Race powers have been hesitant to take action against the Life-Ending Valley."

"However, the most recent insect infestation covered an area ten times larger than before, and many powerful sects and Tribes were devoured by the demonic insects. It was precisely because of this unusual insect infestation that the Heavenly Sect made up its mind to risk paying a huge price in order to kill the Devouring Heaven-Swallowing Demon Insects that rule the Life-Ending Valley and eliminate the threat posed by the insect infestation."

"Then why was the last insect infestation so large-scale?"

"I don't know that. That's all I know from the Sect Master."

The disciples of the Cloudglow Sect chatted amongst themselves to pass the time while on patrol.

Yun Qianyue, who was hiding in the shadows, heard their conversation clearly.

Why did an unprecedented insect infestation break out in the Life-Ending Valley, causing the deaths of hundreds of millions of living beings around the Life-Ending Valley? The Heavenly Sect and other Sects have made various speculations, but there is no definitive conclusion.

Even after the Heavenly Sect Sect Master killed the Heaven-Swallowing Demon Insect, the reason was still not found.

However, Yun Qianyue, Resurrection from the Dead, found the answer in later generations.

The Devouring Heaven-Swallowing Demon Insect rule the Life-Ending Valley are laying eggs.

The Heaven-Swallowing Demon Insects are extremely rare Remote Antiquity Devil Creatures. To reproduce, they need a large amount of food. As a result, an unprecedented insect infestation broke out in the Life-Ending Valley. The surrounding Human Race cities, Demon Race Tribes, and cultivation sects all became food for the demonic insects. This food eventually ended up in the Heaven-Swallowing Demon Insects' bellies, where they accumulated energy to lay eggs.

This fully grown Heaven-Swallowing Demon Insect was extremely cunning. Before it died, it divided its eggs into two batches. One batch of eggs was used as bait and was found by the Heavenly Sect Sect Master, who then completely destroyed it with True Fire.

In reality, another batch of insect eggs was hidden elsewhere, secretly preparing for future generations. When these eggs hatched, new Heaven-Swallowing Demon Insects Heaven-Swallowing Demon Insect emerge, allowing the species to continue.

"Master was also deceived by the Heaven-Swallowing Demon Insects, and only burned some of the eggs. It's a pity that no matter how well you planned, you couldn't have imagined that the eggs would still be destroyed by the Heavenly Court after they hatched."

Yun Qianyue unintentionally unravels some mysteries from back then, and feels somewhat relieved.

Rustling...

The chirping of insects grew fainter and fainter until it disappeared completely.

"Those beasts have finally quieted down for a while."

I thought they wouldn't get tired.

The disciples of the Cloudglow Sect, hearing the chirping of insects in the Life-Ending Valley subside, relaxed their vigilance slightly.

"Idiot."

Yun Qianyue was in the shadows. Because there was another "Yun Qianyue" in this Spacetime, she could not interfere with this Spacetime. Although she was anxious, she was helpless.

In the darkness, hundreds of spider silk threads wrapped around them, and before the Cloudglow Sect disciples could react, they were all enveloped and dragged into the night.

Several patrolling Cloudglow Sect disciples disappeared without a sound.

Outside the camp of the allied sects, patrolling disciples disappeared one after another.

Even some of the Elders disappeared into the night.

There's Demon Qi about it.

The sect Sect Master personally patrolled the area. Relying on his cultivation at the God King Realm, he sensed the murderous intent and promptly summoned an Immortal Sword, severing the trail of the sneak attack.

The Immortal Sword struck the spider silk, but produced a sound similar to the clash of metal.

The Sect Master's expression changed.

His Long Sword, Seventh-Grade Dao Artifact, had developed cracks, demonstrating the remarkable resilience of the spider silk.

"Enemy attack!"

The Sect Master mustered his strength, raised his head and roared to the sky, startling the Sect Master, Elders and disciples of various sects who were resting.

In an instant, all sorts of Law Treasures were unleashed, their dazzling colors illuminating the night as if it were daytime.

The sect leader of the Cloudglow Sect arrived in mid-air, looked around, and felt a chill run down his spine.

As far as the eye could see, there were High Antiquity Demon Worm everywhere, covering the mountains and fields in a vast, dark mass, extending deep into the Life-Ending Valley.

A multicolored, six-eyed, eight-hundred-foot-tall Five-Colored Ghost-Faced Spider; Rockfire Poison Ants with flames burning on their bodies; Red-Spiked-Tail Scorpion shrouded in Poison Mist; and Thousand-Eyed Demon Centipede thousand feet long, radiating golden light and yellow mist...

Terrifying, monstrous insects appeared in the forest, sending chills down one's spine.

Many of the female disciples turned pale and shivered.

The Zerg army in Life-Ending Valley launched a preemptive attack, assaulting the camp of Human Race Xiuzhenzhe!

The spider silk spun by the Five-Colored Ghost-Faced Spider was like Immortal-Binding Rope, making it difficult for Human Race Xiuzhenzhe to escape. In the end, they were all swallowed by the eight-hundred-foot-tall Five-Colored Ghost-Faced Spider!

The Thousand-Eyed Demon Centipede opened its thousand eyes, emitting an eerie light. Any disciple caught in the demonic light would fall under the Thousand-Eyed Demon Centipede's illusion, and ultimately their body and soul would be devoured by the Thousand-Eyed Demon Centipede.

"You beast, die before this Daoist master!"

Master Zhou True Person of the Heavenly Master Sect presented a scroll of paintings.

As Zhou True Person channeled his True Qi into the scroll, the scroll unfurled, revealing a burly figure wielding the Ghost-Slaying Sword. With a single strike, he sealed the Thousand-Eyed Demon Centipede onto a large mountain.

The Thousand-Eyed Demon Centipede let out a painful scream, but could not escape. In the end, its soul was separated and returned to the scroll along with the burly figure.

The scroll was closed.

"Is this the Heavenly Master Sect's Mountain-Suppressing Treasure?"

"This Thousand-Eyed Demon Centipede probably possessed the cultivation of Great Perfection God King, yet it was taken by Zhou True Person in just one move."

"What do you know? This is the Celestial Master's Heavenly Master Demon-Subduing Painting from the Heavenly Master Sect."

"So it's Heavenly Master Demon-Subduing Painting."

The Xiuzhenzhe from other sects were shocked by the strength of Zhou True Person of the Heavenly Master Sect and the Law Power of the Celestial Master Sect's Mountain-Suppressing Treasure artifact at the Yellow Dragon Mountain Heavenly Master Sect, but they had no time to be distracted and immediately engaged in a fierce battle with the insectoid army of the Life-Ending Valley.

They came to exterminate the demonic insects of Life-Ending Valley, but they did not expect that the Heaven-Swallowing Demon Insects had already sensed the intentions of these Human Race Sects, so they launched a preemptive strike by mobilizing the demonic insects of Life-Ending Valley.

Why hasn't the Heaven-Swallowing Demon Insect shown itself yet?

"Fortunately, the Heaven-Swallowing Demon Insect didn't make a move personally, and our Heavenly Sect Sect Master hasn't arrived yet."

While fighting the demonic insects, Xiuzhenzhe from various sects remained vigilant for the Heaven-Swallowing Demon Insects ' whereabouts.

To their relief, the Heaven-Swallowing Demon Insect had not yet appeared.

This is good news.

"Could it be... that the Heaven-Swallowing Demon Insect is laying eggs, which is when it is at its weakest?"

Yun Qianyue looked into the depths of the Life-Ending Valley.

She understood the mystery from back then.

Yun Qianyue took the initiative to walk towards the Life-Ending Valley. Anyway, the Heaven-Swallowing Demon Insect couldn't see the non-existent Yun Qianyue. Yun Qianyue wanted to see where the Heaven-Swallowing Demon Insect had hidden its eggs and completely solve the mystery left over from back then.
