Eternal Life: My Talents Can Refresh

Chapter 712 - 301: The Path to Self-Destruction (Part 2)

The entrance to the valley was only three or four zhang wide, but after passing through nearly a hundred zhang, it suddenly opened up.

Moreover, the biting cold also abruptly disappeared.

Outside the valley entrance, it was a world of ice and snow, yet within the valley, it was teeming with the vigor of spring.

Chu Ning entered this valley for the first time, and for a moment, his face was filled with astonishment.

The other three people, evidently not visiting for the first time, appeared much more composed.

At this moment, Chu Ning looked around and saw layers of mountains and countless ravines.

Clearly, many cultivators had just entered, but now looking around, not a single one was visible.

"Fellow Daoists, should we proceed together or split up?"

As Chu Ning was observing, Chang Lingshan suddenly asked.

Han Shihong and Wu Rongfeng’s couple did not reply, all eyes turned to Chu Ning.

It was apparent to everyone that Chu Ning was the strongest and therefore had the greatest say.

Chu Ning smiled and said, "All of you have been here many times, surely you have your own objectives.

This is my first time entering the valley; I primarily came to witness it, without a clear goal.

Let’s not delay anything for anyone, it’s best if we each go our own way."

Being with these people, many of Chu Ning’s abilities were hard to use; naturally, he preferred to act alone.

The others, hearing Chu Ning had no intention of teaming up, did not insist.

So, Wu Rongfeng and his wife formed a pair, while Chang Lingshan and Han Shihong were another, and they quickly bid farewell and left.

Chu Ning, after confirming his direction, flew deeper into the valley.

Everyone took separate actions, yet more cultivators continued to enter in succession.

As time passed, all the Golden Core cultivators outside Snow Mist Valley had already entered.

Only at this point did the numerous Foundation Establishment cultivators gathered at a distance dare to approach the entrance.

"Brother Chen, the number of Golden Core cultivators this time is even greater than the one ten years ago. Should we still go in?"

"Go! We’re already here, of course we go in.

The Golden Core cultivators will seek out what they’ve set their eyes on, let them have the meat while we sip the soup."

The Foundation Establishment cultivators hesitated near the entrance, then one by one rushed into the valley.

After a little while, even the Foundation Establishment cultivators gathered outside the valley had all gone inside.

Outside Snow Mist Valley, it finally seemed to quiet down.

But soon after, three people flew in from afar.

Two men and a woman appeared. The woman was an exceptionally charming beauty, dressed in a striking red gown.

One of the men, looking about forty-five or six years old, was in luxurious attire and exuded an extraordinary air.

The younger man, about twenty-seven or eight, wore a purple robe and had handsome features.

It was none other than the Young Sect Leader of the Illusion Spirit Sect, Tantai Song, who previously battled fiercely with Chu Ning near Cloud Concealment Island.

The three stopped and stood outside the valley.

At this moment, Tantai Song looked into the misty snow and turned to the beautiful woman and the middle-aged man in fine clothes:

"Snow Mist Valley has opened, but it shouldn’t have been open for long. We’re not particularly late."

"Nephew Song, have you sensed any aura of the Ancient Seal inside?" The woman in the red robe did not answer Tantai Song, but asked in return.

Hearing this, Tantai Song shook his head with a somewhat troubled expression.

"No, I just specifically used the Secret Technique to sense it, but did not feel the presence of the Yellow Court Seal."

Hearing Tantai Song’s words, the woman in the red robe showed a puzzled expression.

"That’s strange. Using the aura sensing method inherent in the Secret Technique of the Yellow Court Seal, combined with your innate talent for sensing the aura of Spirit Beasts and treasures,

you should be able to sense it even if someone stored it in a Storage Bag.

Unless that cultivator also has some special aura-isolating treasure, which usually isn’t the case.

Could it be that this Yellow Court Seal never fell into that cultivator’s hands, or perhaps they didn’t come to Snow Mist Valley?"

Hearing this, Tantai Song’s brows furrowed slightly.

"Logically, it shouldn’t be. Since news of the Spiritual Clarity Fruit in Snow Mist Valley spread, it’s unlikely that a Loose Cultivator with such methods wouldn’t come.

Could it be that the valley itself is blocking me from sensing it?"

The middle-aged man in fine clothes, hearing this, said in a deep voice:

"If that’s the case, we can find out once we go in and sense it ourselves."

With that, the three entered the valley and, upon passing through the hundred zhang long entrance, Tantai Song paused again, closing his eyes to carefully sense once more.

Then he shook his head with a not-so-pleased expression.

"Nothing. It seems this person truly hasn’t come to Snow Mist Valley, making it even harder to find them."

Hearing this, both the middle-aged man in fine clothes and the woman in the red robe couldn’t help but frown deeply.

The Yellow Court Seal was an ancient treasure acquired by the sect with much difficulty, and even they had not had the chance to use it.

Now, its whereabouts were unknown, which was a significant matter for the Illusion Spirit Sect.

After Tantai Song woke up back then, the sect learned that the seal was lost during an Earth Pulse Impact and made great efforts to search the surrounding sea regions.

Utilizing a Secret Technique, Tantai Song searched carefully and confirmed that it wasn’t in the nearby sea regions.

He suspected the seal had fallen into Chu Ning’s hands during their magical combat.

However, at that time, Chu Ning used an Illusion Technique and altered his aura, so even after searching for months around Haiyan City, they found no trace.

Upon learning of the possibility of the Spiritual Clarity Fruit appearing in Snow Mist Valley, the Illusion Spirit Sect’s hope was rekindled.
