Startled Spirit Valley
The Southern Sea of Trees is a more dangerous and Savage Wilderness place than the Hundred Lands Mountain Range.
Even though Li Boyang reshaped the world and calmed the turbulence of the Yuan Qi, there are still very few traces of human presence here.
The deeper you venture into the Southern Sea of Trees, the more you witness the wonder and grandeur of nature's creation.
As an indigenous person of the southern Sea of Trees, Wood Guest has witnessed Sea of Trees wonders firsthand.
It was now even more astonished that someone dared to trespass into this forbidden zone of the Sea of Trees.
"How dare they trespass into the Startled Spirit Valley! The humans outside are indeed more audacious than the last!"
It slowly emerged from a huge mulberry tree.
The dark-skinned, ape-like Wood Guest looked up at the sky, his tone filled with awe for "human beings".
Wood Guest was originally a tree spirit from this mountain, and he gained sentience long ago.
Unfortunately, due to the inherent limitations of wood-type spirits, the Wood Guest has absolutely no ability to move.
It wasn't until three years ago, when Li Boyang preached the Dao to all living beings, that Wood Guest glimpsed the path forward and officially entered the ranks of cultivators.
Even so, Wood Guest knew that his path of cultivation was destined to be extremely difficult.
Who would have thought that the sudden Emperor Flow Pulp last night would allow Wood Guest to skip a thousand years of arduous cultivation and directly enter the Divine Realm of Refining Qi, Spirit Transformation?
After ascending to godhood, Wood Guest naturally gained the ability to transform.
Unfortunately, having never seen any creatures beyond the Sea of Trees, the Wood Guest could only transform into the most common type of wood in this mountain forest.
"Did you see that streak of light just now?"
Just as Wood Guest was feeling sentimental, a Da Xiao landed on its body.
As a beneficiary of last night's Emperor Flow Pulp, this Da Xiao was clearly much more agile than the wood spirit.
Both their eyes and movements were as lifelike as an elf.
In contrast, the newly acquired Wood Guest moved as stiffly as a puppet.
"Although I have only recently attained the Wood element, my abilities far surpass yours."
Wood Guest glanced sideways at Da Xiao, then spoke calmly.
As Wood Guest himself said, the mulberry tree itself limited his cultivation progress.
However, once he broke through the bottleneck, with the help of that enormous essence Emperor Flow Pulp, Wood Guest completed the entire accumulation of Refining Essence into Qi in just one night.
In contrast, even if the Da Xiao absorbed all the Emperor Flow Pulp last night, it would only amount to two or three hundred years of arduous cultivation.
Innate talent, mental cultivation, absorption speed, and refining progress.
Different prerequisites determine the adaptability of different individuals to the Emperor Flow Pulp.
The ability to skip a thousand years of arduous cultivation in a single night is ultimately a fortuitous opportunity for a select few with extraordinary talent.
I believe that.
"After all, you were already able to hang me up and beat me even before you could move."
It gently shook its wings.
The Da Xiao trembled uncontrollably at the thought of his first encounter with Wood Guest.
"Then tell me, is it possible for that human to get out of the Startled Spirit Valley?"
Faced with Da Xiao's obviously deliberate attempt to change the subject, Wood Guest unexpectedly fell silent.
Upon seeing this, Da Xiao was initially taken aback.
But then, as if realizing something, it looked at Wood Guest with a strange expression.
"Wait a minute? You don't actually think he can get out, do you?"
"That's the Startled Spirit Valley! A death trap where even Heavenly Deity can be buried!"
"All these years have passed, and I've never seen any creature emerge alive from inside!"
Startled Spirit Valley is the most famous dead land in the Southern Sea of Trees. According to legend, its origin can be traced back more than 10,000 years ago, when the earth was exposed to the scorching sun for ten days.
Li Jingshu was unsure whether the rumor was true.
But one thing she was certain of was that the Startled Spirit Valley was indeed very eerie.
As soon as Li Jingshu approached the canyon, the Moon Wheel around her began to tremble slightly.
An invisible repulsive force quietly formed, specifically repelling Li Jingshu was attempting to enter the Startled Spirit Valley.
"?"
Xiao Gui clearly sensed the presence of this repulsive force and stared in surprise at the seemingly ordinary canyon.
Was it the same when you came last time?
Even though they were still hundreds of meters away from the canyon, Xiao Gui already felt uneasy.
"No, it wasn't like this when I came last time."
Actively suppressing the tremors of the Moon Wheel, Li Jingshu leaped and landed on the branch of a large tree.
As expected, when Li Jingshu stopped trying to force her way into Startled Spirit Valley, the faint repulsive force also disappeared.
"When I came last time, I thoroughly investigated the surrounding terrain and mineral deposits, except for not going inside."
"I didn't encounter any obstacles at that time, let alone a repulsive force like that."
At this point, Li Jingshu decisively took out the Bagua Compass from her bosom and began to quickly deduce the hexagram.
To Li Jingshu's surprise, the Bagua Compass displayed a completely different hexagram this time compared to the previous one.
The overall topography of Startled Spirit Valley remained unchanged, but its internal magnetic field was different from before.
Is it because of the Sun and Moon Twin Wheels entities?
Looking at the constantly evolving hexagrams on the compass, Li Jingshu quickly locked onto her target.
It was the power emitted by the rotation of the Sun and Moon Twin Wheels that affected the magnetic field of Startled Spirit Valley itself.
"Hmm, maybe we should just give up?"
Looking down at the Bagua Compass, Xiao Gui cautiously made a suggestion.
Xiao Gui's experience and intuition told her that such unexpected situations often symbolized unknown dangers.
Unfortunately, Li Jingshu is clearly not the kind of person who can listen to other people's opinions.
Moreover, she had consulted Li Boyang beforehand, so her curiosity about this unexpected situation far outweighed her fear.
"What's the big deal? We can just stop using the Sun and Moon Twin Wheels, can't we?"
Completely suppressing the overflowing power of the Sun and Moon Twin Wheels, when Li Jingshu moved forward again, she indeed no longer felt that faint resistance.
However, just in case, Li Jingshu still summoned the Bronze Treasure Book, completely storing the Sun and Moon Twin Wheels within its pages. "Pfft, when will you stop being so stubborn and headstrong?"
Mimicking Li Boyang's tone, Xiao Gui finally decided to risk his life to accompany him.
In an instant, countless spiders crawled out of the shadows beneath Li Jingshu's feet and entered Startled Spirit Valley with a speed that ordinary spiders could never possess.
Those spiders were not real spiders, but entities made of shadows.
Although they are not the Shadow Baleful Intent Dharma Aspect created by combining Sha Qi like those of Li Boyang, they also possess extremely strong immortality.
Using these shadow spiders as "pathfinders" is absolutely perfect.
