Chapter 155 Space Opening

After some fighting, the two of them felt much better and stepped into the fire toad’s cave.

“This is indeed an excellent place for cultivators of fire-attributed techniques to practice.”

Seeing the lava world of the Fire Toad Beast, Nangong Wan’s face showed surprise and she exclaimed.

“Yes, but it also needs to be arranged properly. At the same time, you have to be careful of the fire poison in it, so as not to let the poison enter your body. This is not a great place for cultivation.”

Lin Shou chuckled and said lightly.

Then, he brought Nangong Wan to the stone platform where the remains of the ancient cultivator were.

“Did this monk perform some secret technique during his lifetime to become like this? I seem to have seen a similar situation in an ancient book.”

Seeing the crystal-like corpse of the ancient cultivator, Nangong Wan frowned slightly and said thoughtfully.

“Senior sister, you are really knowledgeable. Yes, it is indeed because of some secret technique, but it has nothing to do with us anymore.”

Lin Shou shook his head and praised.

At the same time, they also found the storage bag in the remains of the ancient cultivator. After pouring out the contents, Lin Shou and Nangong Wan’s eyes fell on a pile of red iron blocks.

They were all scorching hot and looked unusual.

“These seem to be the spiritual materials that cultivators used to refine ancient treasures in ancient times. The method of refining this kind of spiritual material is quite special. It requires rare materials combined with the power of heaven and earth to be able to sacrifice and refine this kind of spiritual material. Obviously, this ancient cultivator is planning to refine some powerful ancient treasure. I just don’t know if there is a method to refine it. If it can be refined successfully, it will be an extra top treasure.”

Nangong Wan explained with great interest.

Then, he turned his attention to other things.

A white jade box, a small purple mirror, a small yellow sword, a set of dark green flying needles, and two black medicine bottles.

Seeing this, Nangong Wanyu pointed her hand and took the white jade box into her hand. However, just as she was about to open it, a white light suddenly appeared on the box, and it turned out that there was a restriction.

However, this was nothing to Nangong Wan. The red glow in her jade hand intertwined with the white light on the box and began to fight against it.

After a short while, it was all wiped out and the box was successfully opened.

Just as Nangong Wan expected, inside was an ancient, slightly yellowed jade slip.

Seeing this, Nangong Wan smiled slightly, so bright and charming that Lin Shou was slightly stunned.

Then, Nangong Wan took out the jade slip with her jade hand and penetrated into it with her spiritual sense to check it out.

“The Seven Flame Fan is actually a magical treasure that can reach the sky!”

Nangong Wan was shocked and blurted out. She was no stranger to the Tongtian Lingbao because Lin Shou told her.

Naturally, you will not be unfamiliar with it.

“It seems that we are lucky, but it is not easy to refine the Tongtian Lingbao. Sister, you should keep this jade slip and other things first! Anyway, it is of little use to me.”

Lin Shou said very generously.

Hearing this, Nangong Wan shook her head slightly and picked up the jade bottle. After opening it and confirming that it contained the elixir, she handed it to Lin Shou and spoke softly.

“Junior brother, you are only a step away from becoming a late Nascent Soul cultivator. Although I don’t know what kind of ancient elixir the elixir in this jade bottle is, it must be of great use to you. As for the other things, I won’t be polite. And I also plan to study this Seven Flame Fan.”

“Okay, that’s no problem.”

Lin Shou smiled slightly and did not refuse. He took the jade bottle and put it into his storage bag.

Afterwards, his eyes fell on the green robe of the ancient cultivator’s remains, and then he waved his sleeves.

Suddenly, a golden rainbow light shot out, and with a “bang”, it turned the remains of the ancient cultivator into ashes. It no longer existed, leaving only a green robe.

Then, Lin Shou took out something from his green robe and opened it.

A small piece of something that was neither cloth nor silk, on which were drawn some crude, thick and thin lines using the most primitive method, using a charcoal pencil.

“What is this? A map? A map of the Demon Valley?”

Seeing this, the joy on Nangong Wan’s face became even more intense.

“Not bad, but a little crude, but it can be used as is.”

Lin Shou took a closer look, then his eyes fell on a conspicuous large mark, and his eyes narrowed slightly.

“This place? Do you want to go and take a look?”

Seeing this, Nangong Wan couldn’t help but ask.

“Someone has already been to this place. Judging by the time, they should be here soon. I hope they can solve the problem and don’t let me get involved again.”

Hearing this, Lin Shou shook his head and said.

“Junior brother, you don’t mean the three great monks, do you?”

Hearing Lin Shou’s words, Nangong Wandai frowned and said thoughtfully,

“I really couldn’t hide it from you, Senior Sister. It was indeed those three. I managed to trick them over so that they could solve the problem.”

Lin Shou chuckled, his tone revealing a hint of pride.

“Will they be fooled?”

Nangong Wan said in surprise.

“I told them that they could find the legendary Lingmiao Garden. Do you think they would be fooled?”

Lin Shou said with a smile.

“Lingmiao Garden, there is actually a Lingmiao Garden in this Demon Valley?” Nangong Wan was shocked.

“Exactly!”

Lin Shou nodded.

“My main purpose for coming to the Demon Valley is to find Lingmiao Garden, but I don’t have any clues. So I plan to stay in the Demon Valley for a while to see if I can find Lingmiao Garden.”

“So how long do you plan to stay?”

Nangong Wan said worriedly.

“Stay for 10 to 20 years first! Anyway, there is nothing to worry about in the sect right now, so it will be fine as long as Senior Sister goes back to take charge. There is no need to worry too much about other things.”

Lin Shou chuckled, not seeming to care much, and had no intention of letting Nangong Wan stay to keep him company.

“Okay, then Junior Brother, please be careful.”

After hearing Lin Shou’s words, Nangong Wan didn’t say anything to dissuade him. She just nodded slightly and agreed.

After all, this was something that only Lin Shou could do alone, and she also had to go back to take charge of the Yanyue Sect.

“Yes! Of course, Senior Sister, don’t worry. If I wasn’t sure, I wouldn’t have risked coming to this Fallen Demon Valley. Okay, Senior Sister, you pick some of the spiritual herbs here, and we’ll go out later.”

Lin Shou gave another order. “Okay.”

Hearing this, Nangong Wan naturally would not refuse. She left the stone platform directly and picked all the spiritual herbs in the molten lava.

“Okay, everything has been picked, we can leave now.”

At this moment, Nangong Wan seemed like a good wife and mother.

“Well, I can finally go back.”

Hearing this, Lin Shou said with a smile,
Afterwards, Lin Shou and Nangong Wan set out to leave this molten area and the nest of the fire toad beast.

At the same time, the three great cultivators in the Tiannan immortal world, Wei Wuya, the grand elder of the Huayi Sect of the Nine Kingdoms Alliance, Zhiyang Shangren, the grand elder of the Taizhen Sect of the Righteous Alliance, and Hehuan Lao Mo, the grand elder of the Hehuan Sect, the head of the six demonic sects of the Tianluo Kingdom, are three great cultivators in the late Nascent Soul stage.

At this moment, he was finally climbing up to the altar square.

The entire altar square was more than 100 meters in area, and the ground was covered with crystal white jade bricks. In the middle was a huge altar table that was 60 to 70 meters long, made of emerald green jade and was extremely exquisite. The rest of the place was empty, but at each of the four corners of the altar stood a tall bluestone pillar.

These stone pillars are about ten feet high, and the surface of each pillar is imprinted with dense runes and spells. They look obscure and ancient.

On the top of these stone pillars squats a unicorn stone statue, which is lifelike, with different shapes, and exudes a faint spiritual light, which seems to be unusual.

Looking around, the three great cultivators of the Tiannan Immortal Cultivation World looked at each other, with suspicion in their eyes.

“Fellow Daoist Wei, is this really the entrance to Lingmiao Garden?”

As the grand elder of Taizhen Sect of the Righteous Alliance, Master Zhiyang felt uneasy.

This was a skill he had cultivated, and he was sensitive to evil places. Although there didn’t seem to be any problems here, he still felt that it was very strange.

“That should be it?” Wei Wuya, the great elder of the Nine Nations Alliance, was not sure.

After all, Lin Shou told him a lot of things, whether they were true or false depended on him.

After saying that, Wei Wuya took out the scroll that Lin Shou had given him under the watchful eyes of the old demon Hehuan and the monk Zhiyang.

Suddenly, as the scroll appeared, a ball of green light flew out from the picture and transformed into the image of the Confucian scholar Master Cangkun.

“Yes, this is it. I never thought that I would be able to return here one day.”

At this moment, “Master Cangkun” had an excited look on his face. He looked around and paid no attention to the opinions of the three great cultivators from the Tiannan Immortal Cultivation World.

“Okay, now that we’re here, shouldn’t you tell us the location of Lingmiao Garden?”

Master Zhiyang said in a bad tone.

“Of course, my three Taoist friends, please inject some spiritual energy into these four stone pillars, and then leave the matter of breaking the restrictions to me.”

“Master Cangkun” said.

Hearing this, Master Zhiyang nodded and spoke.

“Give these two to me. Fellow Daoist Wei and Fellow Daoist Hehuan, each of you can take one.”

“Okay, no problem.” The old demon Hehuan said with a smile.

“Okay. Thank you for your help, Fellow Daoist Zhiyang.” Wei Wuya naturally had no objection and nodded.

Afterwards, the three great monks in the late Nascent Soul stage poured their own spiritual power into the four stone pillars.

Suddenly, with the infusion of spiritual power, the four stone pillars made a humming sound and trembled slightly. The Qilin stone statue on the top was shining with spiritual light, and its wooden eyes suddenly lit up with a blood-red light, as if it was coming alive.

Seeing this scene, Master Zhiyang’s eyes showed surprise, and he seemed to have vaguely understood something, but he had no intention of stopping.

At this moment, the Qilin statue on the stone pillar seemed to come alive. It slowly raised its head and opened its big mouth. Colorful light flickered inside, as if something was about to burst out.

Seeing this, “Master Cangkun” started to take action.

He raised his hands and flicked his fingers. Four gray spells shot out and hit the stone statue. Suddenly, the things in Qilin’s mouth expanded and contracted, and shot out one after another. Four five-colored light pillars shot up into the sky and shot to a point in the air. Then, the light shone brightly, and a five-colored light ball about ten feet in size appeared in the sky.

Then the space near the light ball twisted and deformed, and after a loud earth-shaking noise, it suddenly exploded.

In an instant, the five-colored spiritual light was blindingly bright, momentarily covering the entire sky above the altar. The astonishing fluctuations of spiritual energy swept towards the monks on the altar like a raging storm.

When the three great cultivators of the Tiannan Immortal Realm set their eyes on the so-called Lingmiao Garden entrance, they were all horrified without exception, their faces turned pale.

“Is this the entrance you mentioned?”

Master Zhiyang felt more and more uneasy. He wanted to give up but was unwilling to do so.

At this moment, an arc of light over thirty feet long came into view above the altar.

The arc of light was white, and its widest point was four or five feet wide, crescent-shaped. It was actually a rare giant space crack. However, the crack had been covered by some unknown restriction, and the three great cultivators, three great cultivators in the late Nascent Soul stage, had not discovered it in advance.

“Yes, this is the entrance to the legendary Lingmiao Garden. You should know that Lingmiao Garden was originally between the human world and the spirit world. If you don’t want to go in, you can stop now. Anyway, according to the agreement, I have brought you to this place. As for whether you want to enter, it’s up to you.”

“Master Cangkun” said proudly.

Upon seeing this, Wei Wuya, the old demon Hehuan, and Master Zhiyang looked at each other and said in a cold voice.

“How do we enter this space crack? What else should we do?”

“Yes, it seems you want to enter, so wait a moment. Haha.”

“Master Cangkun” laughed loudly, then flew to a place more than 20 feet away from the space crack and stopped.

Then, he opened his mouth and a ball of green light spurted out. Wrapped in the green light was a thumb-sized round ball as black as ink, which was floating and spinning in front of his body.

The face of “Master Cangkun” who spewed out this pearl turned pale and bloodless, and his spirit suddenly became weak, as if most of his soul power had been drained away by this pearl.

Seeing this scene, Master Zhiyang’s pupils constricted, as if he understood something.

“No, he is not the spirit of Master Cang Kun, but the devil spirit of the ancient demon.”

Master Zhiyang sent a message to Wei Wuya and the old demon Hehuan.

“Ancient demon soul? What does that mean? Fellow Daoist Zhiyang.”

After hearing the message from Master Zhiyang, Wei Wuya’s face changed slightly and he asked.

“This place should not be the entrance to Lingmiao Garden, but the place where the ancient cultivators used the space cracks to seal the ancient demon land. The spirit of Master Cangkun should be the scroll left by the ancient demon when he took over or attached himself to Master Cangkun when he entered the Falling Demon Valley, in order to attract the cultivators behind to help him open this sealed place.”

Master Zhiyang analyzed. “What, is it too late for us to stop now?”

Only then did Wei Wuya realize that he had been tricked by Lin Shou.

“It’s too late. Even if we kill it now, it will be useless. We can only see if this ancient demon soul can release the sealed ancient demon.”

“If it is released, the three of us will have to work together to kill it or seal it away.”

“If that doesn’t work, we can only wait for Fellow Daoist Lin to come and help us. I believe he won’t sit idly by.”

Master Zhiyang smiled bitterly.
