Fallen God Valley will be opened once every ten years, and the opening time will not exceed seven days at a time.
This is the most important forbidden area of the academy, and it is also one of the fundamental reasons why the academy was established in this area - Fallen God Valley contains extremely rich ancient Spiritual Qi, as well as various relics that have been preserved from unknown eras. For past generations of academy disciples, the opportunity to enter Fallen God Valley is regarded as the highest standard of training resources, and only core disciples are eligible to participate, with no more than twenty people at a time.
The leader must be an academy member at the elder level or above.
Open this year, there is an additional name on the team leader list: visiting professor, Lin Feng.
This arrangement was finalized by Yun Chengwang last night. He did not say the reason in advance. He just handed the quota slip to the deacon for notification. Several senior elders exchanged looks in private without saying a word. Judging from the results of yesterday's class, no one was willing to raise objections to this arrangement in public.
Gathered at the entrance of Fallen God Valley are twenty core disciples. The one with the lowest cultivation level is Early Divine Marquis Stage, and the one with the highest level is a senior brother who is already on the verge of the God Emperor Realm. He is 312 years old this year and is currently the number one genius in the academy, named Qi Yuchen.
He stood at the front of the team, half a head taller than the others, with a steady aura and a deep gaze. He looked at Lin Feng with a polite and cautious reservation - he was also present when the gun blasted the training ground into a crater yesterday, but he did not have the stunned reaction that Lin Feng had when he was in class. He just thought in silence for a long time.
This kind of silence is the state that a truly capable person will have when they receive information beyond their cognitive range. It is not numb, but digesting.
Lin Feng nodded to him as a greeting.
The entrance to Fallen God Valley is a huge stone door embedded in the mountain wall. The stone door is about three feet high and its surface is covered with formation patterns. The inscription style of those formations is obviously different from the formations in other places in the academy. It is older and more concise, like some kind of lower-level language. It does not rely on the complex array structure and directly uses the lines themselves to carry power.
Yun Chengwang personally came to unlock the stone door. He placed his palm on the array core in the center of the stone door and injected God Emperor Realm's spiritual power. The stone door slowly opened with a low roar and pushed inwards.
A rush of ancient smell, mixed with moisture, minerals and some indescribable heaviness, overflowed from the crack in the door.
Several young disciples unconsciously took half a step back, then stood firm again and straightened their waists.
Yun Chengwang turned around and handed a pass token to Lin Feng:
"Seven days. When encountering a situation that cannot be handled, the token can activate emergency transmission and send people out of the forbidden area." He paused and glanced at Lin Feng, "As for you... just pretend that I didn't say anything."
"Understood," Lin Feng put the token into his sleeve and turned to the twenty disciples, "Go in, follow closely, don't leave alone, don't move if you see anything, wait until I tell you."
Twenty-one people walked into Fallen God Valley.
The stone door slowly closed behind them.
The terrain inside Fallen God Valley is much wider than what you see from the outside. After entering, the terrain sinks, as if you are walking into a huge natural valley. The cliffs on all sides are towering. The top is covered by perennial fog, and the sky cannot be seen. Only a diffuse, dim light of unknown direction shines from all sides, illuminating the entire valley bottom, like the seabed at dusk.
On the ground, the vegetation is extremely dense, all of which are species that have never been seen in the outside world. The leaves are glowing with strange fluorescence, and the grass stems are as thick as the wrist. Occasionally, unknown bubbles emerge from the wet soil on the ground, break up, and emit a burst of white mist.
Then, the disciples saw the monster.
The first one was a guy lying on the grass on the left side of the entrance. He was like an adult cow, covered in dark red scales, with a pair of curved horns on his head, and a dark blue energy flowing at the tip of the horns. The aura of Divine Marquis Pinnacle, in normal times, would make the entire team feel like they were facing a formidable enemy.
It was lying on the ground, raising its head and looking at the people walking in.
His eyes stopped on Lin Feng.
Then, the moment those eyes that were originally full of vigilance came into contact with a certain aura from Lin Feng - the pupils shrank rapidly, all the scales exploded, and the next second, the whole body fell flat on the ground as if a string had been broken, and the head was buried in the grass, unable to move.
Someone among the disciples lowered his voice. "Is that monster... scared?"
No one answered, because right after, the second one appeared. It was a common flying monster in the valley, with a wingspan of more than ten feet, Early God Emperor Stage. It usually attacks the academy disciples immediately when they see them coming in. This flying monster circled close, and then When it was still tens of feet away from Lin Feng, the hovering posture in the air suddenly lost control. It retracted its wings and fell directly from the sky. It smashed into the grass, making a heavy muffled sound, and then became quiet and motionless.
The third one, the fourth one, the fifth one...
Lin Feng walked into the valley, and every time he walked, a new monster appeared, and then in different ways, with the same ending, he lay on the ground and pretended to be dead.
The big one lay down steadily, while the small one simply curled up into a ball. There was a snake-shaped demonic beast that didn't know what was wrong with its sense of direction and ran away in the distance. As a result, it ran closer and closer, directly to the feet of Lin Feng. In an instant, it realized something, and immediately rolled itself into a tight circle, daring not to move.
After walking for about two miles, the bottom of the valley was filled with monsters in various postures, with a density comparable to that of a market. The entire Fallen God Valley was quiet except for the sound of the wind.
The twenty disciples following Lin Feng did not speak, but conveyed the same message to each other with their eyes:
This, what is going on?
Senior Brother Qi Yuchen was walking in the middle of the team, his eyes swept over the monsters lying on the ground, he calculated in silence, and asked the people next to him in a low voice:
"Teacher... what kind of aura is emitting? My senses swept over and there was nothing."
"I don't know, I can't sense it either," the man also lowered his voice, "but these monsters obviously sensed it, and it was--" He glanced to the side at a Divine Emperor-level monster with its head buried in the soil, "--that level of reaction."
The youngest disciple in the last row of the team, her expression gradually became solemn, and she expressed her judgment in a serious tone:
"The teacher has Conqueror's Haki."
The person next to him wanted to refute, so he opened his mouth. He thought of the monster lying on the ground, but in the end he didn't give a reason to refute, and slowly closed his mouth.
Lin Feng walked calmly in front and heard the discussion behind him without any explanation.
Explain what.
This is a side effect of Pangu's aura, and has nothing to do with domineering. It's just that the instincts of these monster beasts are engraved with some kind of reflection left over from ancient times - seeing that aura means seeing something much higher than their level of existence, so all struggling instincts will be turned off, and the only option left is: not moving.
