Chapter 323 Returning to Spirit Gathering Immortal Valley Again
The Lord of Blissful Immortal Palace hurried to catch up with the envoy of the Bright Temple, expressing immediate willingness to comply with their orders.
"Very well," the envoy responded.
"After returning to the Immortal Realm, you need only guide the way; I will handle the rest."
"Those so-called Lower Realm geniuses are mere ants in my eyes, wasting time on a futile journey!"
"To think that your Blissful Immortal Palace was destroyed by such insignificant beings... Truly laughable!"
The envoy of the Bright Temple showed no mercy, as usual, not deigning to regard the Lord of Blissful Immortal Palace with any respect.
Indeed, he held no regard for any cultivators outside the Immortal Realm either. In his earlier years, he had traversed the Immortal Realm with impunity.
Faced with cultivators of similar caliber, he had always been invincible, effortlessly handling ten opponents at once.
If even Immortal Realm cultivators did not merit his attention, much less a mere Lower Realm cultivator.
Upon hearing this, the Lord of Blissful Immortal Palace remained silent. He felt he had been overly concerned.
That Lower Realm cultivator who managed to shatter the small world of Blissful Immortal Palace must have employed some despicable means, and he was also injured, indicating his strength was not particularly formidable.
With the assistance of the envoy of the Bright Temple, there was no reason why they couldn't capture him.
...
Tianqi City!
On an icy jade bed, Gu Lan reclined against the fair, jade-like legs of the Empress, eating grapes fed to her by her beloved as she recounted her experiences in the Divine Grace Sect.
Upon learning that the Divine Grace Sect was a vassal of the Blissful Immortal Palace, Mu Yuyan's expression betrayed surprise. Hearing of the misdeeds of the Divine Grace Sect only fueled her indignation.
If she had known of the heinous deeds of the Divine Grace Sect earlier, she would have struck down Yunlu at the Star Picking Pavilion without hesitation.
Her enmity towards evil was well-known, a trait befitting a righteous ruler.
Observing her beloved's righteous indignation, Gu Lan gently tapped her nose in approval.
She then recounted how she impersonated the Sect Master of the Divine Grace Sect in a letter to the Lord of Blissful Immortal Palace, as well as the involvement of the envoy of the Bright Temple.
They planned to lure the two individuals back to the Immortal Realm and deal with the threat at their leisure.
Mu Yuyan, upon hearing this, was mildly surprised but found it rather amusing. "I never imagined you were such a cunning strategist," she remarked with a smile.
In truth, the decision to visit the Spirit Gathering Immortal Valley again stemmed from Gu Lan's desire to express gratitude to the residual divine spirit and perhaps offer some spiritual essence or springs as a token of appreciation.
Daoist Yunlong had been granted a new lease on life, and she herself had received a life-saving golden pill, a favor she felt obligated to repay.
During their time in Tianqi City, Gu Lan devoted herself to studying, her cultivation advancing rapidly. The shackles of the Emperor Realm began to loosen.
During this period, Sheng Xuzi treated them to various delicacies and fine wines, presenting Mu Yuyan with a rainbow-colored flowing immortal gown, distinct from the hustle and bustle of the market stalls.
This gown, crafted by the renowned beauty Lingxi, was the only one of its kind in Tianqi City.
Mu Yuyan was delighted with the gift, and Gu Lan accepted it graciously, noting the gesture in her heart.
In addition to Sheng Xuzi, various powers from Tianqi City came to pay their respects.
Although they couldn't discern Gu Lan's true cultivation level, they sensed her extraordinary presence, especially given Sheng Xuzi's attitude.
It didn't take much for them to realize that Gu Lan was a remarkable figure.
However, Gu Lan had no time to entertain these visitors. She was busy studying and accompanying her beloved. Their rare moments alone were not to be disturbed.
As the time approached for the Lord of Blissful Immortal Palace to return to the Immortal Realm, Gu Lan took her leave from Sheng Xuzi.
"Elder, you must come back again!"
"Without you, I'll lose sleep," Sheng Xuzi pleaded tearfully, but Gu Lan departed without hesitation.
She summoned the Void Immortal Boat, a higher-grade teleportation treasure than the ancient flying boat, powered by energy crystal stones.
With the coordinates of the Spirit Gathering Immortal Valley already marked, Gu Lan swiftly transported herself and Mu Yuyan there.
Located on the fringes of the Immortal Realm and rumored to be guarded by formations and terrifying spirits, Spirit Gathering Immortal Valley was seldom visited by outsiders.
"It seems they haven't arrived yet," Gu Lan said, releasing his spiritual senses but detecting no unusual presence apart from some evil spirits in the vicinity.
Spirit Gathering Immortal Valley's location is not easy to find, so it's understandable that both the Lord of Blissful Immortal Palace and the envoy of the Bright Temple couldn't locate it right away.
Gu Lan casually set up several formations outside the barrier of Spirit Gathering Immortal Valley, including entrapment formations, illusion formations, and spirit-attracting formations.
Even though these were just casual formations set up by Gu Lan, they were sufficient to ensnare cultivators much lower in cultivation than himself.
Even an Emperor realm cultivator would find it difficult to break free immediately.
Coupled with the illusion formations that befuddled the mind and the spirit-attracting formations that drew evil spirits, it would be enough to give the Lord of Blissful Immortal Palace and the envoy of the Bright Temple a tough time.
After completing all this, Gu Lan tried to touch the barrier of Spirit Gathering Immortal Valley itself. Just like before, he effortlessly walked through the barrier without hindrance.
Gu Lan was about to step out to find a way to dismantle some of the barriers so that his beloved could also enter Spirit Gathering Immortal Valley.
However, when he turned his head, he was surprised to find Mu Yuyan standing right behind him.
Seeing him look back, Mu Yuyan blinked her bright, watery eyes in confusion and softly asked, "What's wrong, my husband?"
"My dear, how did... you also come in?"
"You weren't restricted by the barrier?"
Mu Yuyan nodded, somewhat amazed. "I saw you touch the barrier just now, so I tried it myself, and then I came in."
"There was no restriction, but for some reason, I feel strangely familiar with this place..."
Mu Yuyan curiously surveyed the surroundings of Spirit Gathering Immortal Valley. Despite the pervasive deathly aura, she felt no discomfort.
In fact, the inexplicable sense of familiarity grew stronger. She vaguely speculated that Spirit Gathering Immortal Valley might be related to the memories inherited from the Snow Clan's Goddess.
Mu Yuyan shared this speculation with Gu Lan, who agreed that it was a possibility.
However, the exact connection remained unclear for the time being, so the two proceeded to the location of the residual divine spirit.
...
"Here we are, Spirit Gathering Immortal Valley!"
At the same time, the Lord of Blissful Immortal Palace and the envoy of the Bright Temple arrived outside Spirit Gathering Immortal Valley.@@novelbin@@
Glancing at the breathtaking valley suspended in mid-air, the envoy of the Bright Temple immediately saw through the existence of the barrier of Spirit Gathering Immortal Valley.
He sneered, "A mere illusion, attempting to obstruct me?"
"Come, follow me into the formation, and we shall break it together!"
Bold and confident, the envoy of the Bright Temple dragged the Lord of Blissful Immortal Palace into the array.
However, the formation they entered was not the one of Spirit Gathering Immortal Valley but rather the layers of formations set up by Gu Lan.
"Wait... This formation seems different from what I felt before?" Experience new tales on My Virtual Library Empire
Cough… "But it doesn't matter, I'll break it!"
"..."
"What on earth? How could such a formation exist in the Immortal Realm?!"
What do you think?
