Heavenly Nether Valley, a Glimmer at the Lake's Heart

Along the way, Yi and Kua were kicked into the mountains by Houtu, who made them fight and practice their supernatural powers there, and also assigned them the task of hunting.

With the commotion these two guys made on the shore, they naturally didn't encounter any real danger; the only danger they faced came from the water.

However, with Yoyo, the great water-controlling mage, there was nothing the aquatic creatures could do to its existence.

Wu Chu would occasionally jump off the boat and swim in the clear water, or ride a surfboard, using a tow rope attached to the stern of the boat.

Hong Yun and Houtu were both rather reserved about this, and unlike Wu Chu, they couldn't easily do something that, in their view, was somewhat childish and boring.

For example, the idea of having Tower Ship tow him while surfing is ridiculous. They could clearly use their magic to fly, so why would they step on a plank and glide on the water? And they call that surfing!

Wu Chu didn't try to persuade them further; he just wanted to have fun on his own.

He didn't try to dissuade Houtu, after all, there were still Hong Yun, Kua, and Yi, and Wu Chu didn't want Miss Houtu to show off her explosive figure.

As for how we know that Miss Houtu has an amazing figure, just look at the women of the Witch Clan. They all have wasp waists, perky buttocks, long and powerful legs, and incredibly large breasts. Overall, they can be summed up in one word—amazing!

I wonder if Lady Houtu increased the height of the Witch Clan when she created them. The men and women of the Witch Clan are obviously much taller than Lady Houtu.

Although Wu Chu's body underwent a series of marrow cleansing and tendon strengthening processes after arriving in this Primordial World, he has already shed his original level-two disability status.

However, let alone the Witch Clan Warrior, even the women of the Witch Clan seemed rather petite and delicate when Wu Chu stood next to them. Houtu, Miss Houtu wasn't as explosive as the other Witch Clan women, otherwise he really felt they were somewhat mismatched.

The two Little Fox Little Moon Spirit Fox, did consider going to the river to play, but considering Houtu even Miss Houtu hadn't gone to the river, it would seem a bit impolite for them to go and play with Wu Chu, so they gave up the idea.

In this way, they traveled leisurely southwestward, occasionally finding some medicinal herbs or exotic flowers and plants along the way, which they then picked.

When they encountered some rare beasts that looked delicious, they would hunt them down and eat them... Of course, most of the people who liked to do this were Yi.

Along the way, he shot and killed countless rare birds.

They continued their journey upstream, playing as they went. Hong Yun and Houtu didn't find it boring at all, nor did they mention wanting to go back. In fact, there was nothing to do if they went back, especially for Hong Yun.

And so they continued playing like this for several years.

That day, Wu Chu said to Hong Yun and Houtu, "If we continue along this river, we might very well end up in Heavenly Nether Valley!"

"Heavenly Nether Valley? What is that place?" Hong Yun asked curiously.

Houtu also looked at Wu Chu with curiosity, because she didn't know this place either.

Wu Chu said, "I only know the name of the place. I don't know who the owner is or what his cultivation level is. But if you think about it, you could say it's a neighbor of Purple Jade Mountain!"

Hong Yun laughed and said, "Since we're neighbors, there's no harm in paying a visit!"

Houtu nodded and said, "Our Houtu Tribe moved to Purple Jade Mountain, and we haven't visited our neighbors here yet. Let's take this opportunity to pay them a visit!"

So the Tower Ship continued its journey along the river.

Several years later, they gradually discovered that the green mountains ahead were collapsing and the river was blocked in many places, forming waterfalls with huge drops.

Everyone could tell at a glance that a battle of magic had taken place here. After all, those crumbling green mountains already bore the marks of time.

The group exchanged glances, Houtu sighed softly, "It seems this place has been attacked, but we don't know which side attacked it, or whether the owner of this place is still alive!"

Recalling the bloodshed that flowed like rivers when the Three Clans Purge all the Ten Thousand Clans the Primordial World, one can imagine that the master of this place must have also met with a terrible calamity!

Yoyo controlled the water flow, propelling the Tower Ship upstream against the waterfall's current.

Following the stream upstream for tens of thousands of miles, and after passing countless waterfalls, the group finally arrived at a large lake in the mountains.

This lake is even larger than the lake on Purple Jade Mountain where Wu Chu and his group lived. The surrounding mountains have all been cut in half, and countless giant trees have fallen to the ground in disarray. However, their tenacious vitality still allows them to grow upwards, forming strange forests.

Within this great lake, one can faintly sense a chaotic Great Dao Laws, causing countless undercurrents to surge beneath the seemingly calm surface.

Tower Ship entered the lake, it began to rock irregularly.

Hong Yun closed his eyes, swept his Divine Sense across the area, and finally sighed softly, "It seems that the great battle was quite fierce. The earth's veins here have been greatly damaged, and the loss of spiritual energy is even more severe."

He paused for a moment, then added, "It seems this place has been completely looted; there are no treasures left. I wonder what kind of being owned this place."

Wu Chu looked around and sighed silently. Heavenly Nether Valley was still called Heavenly Nether Valley, but it was clearly no longer like a valley. It was more like a lake that had been turned into a lake.

The valley's former inhabitant is no longer here.

Things have changed, people have changed, and only the place name remains on the map, which makes one sigh.

A gentle lake breeze carried a strange, sweet fragrance, which gradually brought the people who had been silently observing their surroundings back to their senses. They then looked around again to find the source of the fragrance.

When Wu Chu smelled the fragrance, he frowned in confusion, because he felt that the scent seemed somewhat familiar, a bit like sandalwood.

Could there be sandalwood here?

A huge ancient tree was taken from afar by an invisible force, swept across the lake, and left a white wave in its wake.

The mud on the ancient tree was washed away by the lake water.

The ancient trees are tens of meters in diameter. There are many such ancient trees lying haphazardly along the lake shore, and the fragrance emanates from these ancient trees.

Wu Chu had never handled incense before, nor had he ever seen what real sandalwood looked like, but the rich fragrance emanating from the ancient wood felt somewhat familiar.

Hong Yun tossed the ancient wood into the lake Tower Ship, shaking her head and saying, "Although the fragrance is coming from these ancient trees, they look quite ordinary and have no value!"

Looking at the ancient wood, Wu Chu thought: Although I don't know if it's sandalwood, it's clearly a fragrant wood. If those incense enthusiasts saw it, they would go crazy for it.

However, Wu Chu could understand Hong Yun's behavior, after all, this was the Primordial World.

In this Primordial World, even Spirit Root, unless they are of superior or top-grade Spirit Root, are difficult to catch the eye of a Daluo Realm expert.

Hong Yun had every reason to despise these ordinary fragrant woods.

Wu Chu laughed and said, "Since there are no other treasures, let's take all this fragrant wood back! Wouldn't it be nice to make furniture with it?"

Upon Houtu, Houtu's eyes lit up, and she directed Yi and Kua to cut down trees.

At this moment, Little Moon Spirit exclaimed "Eh!" and pointed to the bottom of the lake, saying, "Brother A Chu, Sister Houtu, Senior, what is that white dot? It seems to be glowing!"

Hong Yun glanced in that direction and immediately felt a little embarrassed, because he had just said that there were no more treasures here, but now it seemed that something was missing!

For such a respected senior to make such a blunder, how embarrassing!

However, when everyone sensed the chaotic Dao Resonance in that place, and that there were even some remnants of the Great Dao Laws, they understood that this really couldn't be blamed on Hong Yun.

In such places, Divine Sense often cannot easily detect them.

Of course, it's easy to be mistaken with the naked eye; it could very well be just an illusion created by distorted light.

Houtu glanced at Hong Yun, Hong Yun nodded slightly and casually flicked her hand. The lake water in the center began to swirl wildly, forming a huge whirlpool that gradually spread outwards.
