Gathering!

Several days later, seven beams of light shot into the sky from the mountain range.

The four giant Spirit Transformation, Shi Jian, Shan Li, Shan Yue, and Cang Wuji, along with Chi Gang and his two subordinate Crimson Scale Clan Spirit Transformation, broke through the sky and flew eastward.

The seven Nascent Spirit Transformation traveled together, their combined Spirit Transformation power causing the void to tremble slightly wherever they passed. The Nascent Soul minor clans along the way sensed this aura and huddled in their cave abode, not daring to breathe.

Shi Jian transformed into a gigantic, pale bear, moving swiftly with purple-gold lightning arcs dancing around his body; Shan Li followed closely beside him, his earth-yellow escape light concealed, his Daoist aura at the Early Spirit Transformation steady and profound.

Chi Gang transformed into a giant crimson python, leading the way. He flicked his tongue and turned back, saying, "Lord Kui Lang has ordered all the Nascent Spirit Transformation of various races to gather at the border of the Li Yuan Giant Beast Clan; our destination is about two hundred million li to the northeast."

Shan Yue asked in a deep voice, "Where exactly is it?"

"A valley called Sunken Abyss Valley is extremely remote; surrounded by mountains on all sides, the valley has natural shielding barriers, making it difficult for the Li Yuan Giant Beast Clan to detect."

Chi Gang paused for a moment, then said, "The number of Spirit Transformation gathered this time is quite large."

Shi Jian didn't say anything, but simply sped up.

The seven rays of escaping light were galloping through the vast world of the Tao Realm, passing through countless black mountains and deserted wastelands. The seven different-colored suns slowly rotated in the sky, illuminating the earth with flickering light and darkness.

Along the way, they could occasionally sense the aura of a Spirit Transformation passing by in the distance, always heading east.

Clearly, they weren't the only group of people involved.

Cang Wuji, gnawing on a piece of Demon Beast bone he'd somehow acquired, mumbled, "Looks like this trip's going to be quite something."

The Shan Yue's expression was calm, yet also somewhat solemn.

Kui Lang summoned all the races to gather, a scale far exceeding that of an ordinary hunt; it seemed the various royal families of the Beast Realm were about to reveal their plans in the Dao Realm.

Just seven days later.

A continuous mountain range suddenly appeared on the horizon ahead.

The mountain range was entirely black, with towering peaks, like a giant barrier stretching across the sky and earth; a thin layer of gray mist permeated the surface of the mountain, enveloping the entire area.

Chi Gang slowed down and lowered his voice:

"We've arrived. The Sunken Abyss Valley is located deep within these mountains."

As soon as he finished speaking, a scorching and powerful aura of Fire Dao surged up from the mountains.

The aura was extremely powerful, enough to be at the Middle Spirit Transformation; the newcomer transformed into a giant crimson wolf, flames surging around its body, its vertical pupils carrying a scrutinizing look.

"Chi Gang?"

Chi Gang bared his fangs. "Brother Yan Ya, it's me."

The giant wolf's gaze swept over Shi Jian and the others, lingering on Shi Jian for a moment before looking away.

"Follow me, Lord Kui Lang's lieutenant is waiting in the valley."

The giant wolf turned into a beam of light and led the group deep into the mountains.

After passing through several canyons and rounding a few mist-shrouded peaks, a giant valley suddenly appeared before them.

The valley spans millions of miles, surrounded by sheer cliffs thousands of feet high. Ancient restriction patterns are carved on the cliffs, exuding an extremely profound Daoist aura, completely isolating the entire valley from the outside world.

The valley itself is a completely different world.

Shi Jian's vertical pupils narrowed slightly, revealing a dense array of Spirit Transformation aura within them!

At the bottom of the valley, more than thirty Nascent Spirit Transformation sat or stood, each occupying a different spot; their auras were diverse and varied, some possessing the intensity of Fire Dao, the solidity of Earth Dao, the strength of Dao of Strength, and the sharpness of Dao of Wind...

Every breath he exuded represented the cultivation of Spirit Transformation cultivator.

The weakest among them are at the Early Spirit Transformation, and there are many old monsters at the Middle Spirit Transformation, as well as several at the Perfected Spirit Transformation, and even those at the Extreme Realm!

Shi Jian and his group of seven Nascent Spirit Transformation descended into the valley, attracting the attention of all those who were there.

In an instant, more than forty Nascent Spirit Transformation cultivators clashed and intertwined in the valley, as if the entire world was trembling slightly.

Shan Li thought to Dao of Darkness: This kind of spectacle is truly extravagant...

Although she had only recently broken through to the Spirit Transformation, she still possessed keen insight.

A quick scan revealed that the Nascent Spirit Transformation in the valley were not a rabble, but rather divided into several distinct factions.

On the eastern side of the valley floor, a group of giant crimson wolf demons were entrenched; the leader was a Late Spirit Transformation, whose Fire Dao energy was so solid it was almost tangible, and whose Daoist aura was extremely profound.

Those were the forces of the Kui Lang Imperial Clan.

To the north were several massive, jet-black Mystic Sha tigers; the tiger demons were extremely robust, and their bodies were filled with an extremely sharp Qi Dao aura. The leader of them was actually a Late Spirit Transformation.

The Tiger Emperor Lineage.

On the high cliff to the west stood several enormous, black eagles; their wings were folded, and their Dao of Wind was extremely restrained, as quiet as stone sculptures.

The Black Eagle Imperial Clan.

At the very center of the valley, atop a massive black rock, sat a giant ape with a body entirely golden and radiant.

The giant ape was not large in size, but its aura was the deepest; the Dao of Strength and energy around its body were extremely dense, and there was a faint sense of the void being distorted.

Another Late Spirit Transformation, and with extremely profound cultivation, he is probably not far from reaching perfection.

The Ape Emperor Lineage.

Shan Yue glanced at the giant ape and nodded slightly.

The giant ape merely glanced at it indifferently before looking away.

As for the remaining Nascent Spirit Transformation in the valley, they were scattered groups; some cultivated the Dao of Lightning, some the Dao of Wood, some the Qi Dao...

All of them were from the six major royal families and the vassal clans under the Peak and Mountain Imperial Clan, each bringing one or two Nascent Spirit Transformation with them.

The Shan Li quickly passed through the area; there were thirty-five statues in total.

Including the seven of them, there are forty-two Nascent Spirit Transformation.

Even Shi Jian's heart skipped a beat at this number.

The gathering of forty-two Nascent Spirit Transformation would be an earth-shattering event anywhere in the Beast Realm; however, it took place in a remote valley on the edge of this Dao Realm.

These forty-two Nascent Spirit Transformation, however, were like lurking beasts, suppressing their auras to the lowest possible level.
