Wolf King Valley.
Named for its resemblance to a wolf's head.
The Celestial Profound Flower is right here!
Upon entering Wolf King Valley, everyone immediately felt a difference. The spiritual Qi in this valley was even more abundant than outside.
In the center of the valley, there was a spring exuding rich spiritual Qi. Above the spring, a solitary green flower bud was growing, looking like it was about to bloom.
"The Celestial Profound Flower!"
Seeing the exotic flower above the spring, the three couldn't help but exclaim simultaneously.
Excitement and joy were evident on their faces.
They finally found it!
"We've found the Celestial Profound Flower! Now Ye Qing's injuries can be healed!"
Hong Man couldn't contain his excitement.
"Yes!"
Ye Qingchen nodded heavily, but upon seeing the flower bud, his expression turned grim, "The Celestial Profound Flower hasn't fully bloomed yet..."
Qin Wentian had said that the effect was best when the Celestial Profound Flower was fully bloomed.
Such a flower bud would likely have much-reduced medicinal power.
"I think the flower is about to fully bloom anyway. We might as well wait here for a few days. Moreover, the spiritual Qi in this valley is abundant; we can cultivate here for a while!"
Jiang Churan surveyed the surroundings and said.
"Good idea!"
Ye Qingchen pondered for a moment, then nodded.
After all, there was still half a month before the secret realm closed. They could stay here for a while and leave after the Celestial Profound Flower had fully bloomed.
With this in mind, they decided to stay in Wolf King Valley.
Fortunately, there was nothing lacking in this valley.
The three drank from the spirit spring when thirsty and hunted when hungry, waiting for the Celestial Profound Flower to bloom.
Persistence pays off.
With time, the Celestial Profound Flower gradually bloomed. From the previous bud, it slowly opened. A peculiar fragrance subtly filled the valley.
Moreover, as the flower bloomed, a divine light enveloped it, held in check, ready to burst forth.
This change was certainly something Ye Qingchen welcomed.
But it also brought potential trouble.
It's known that such relics benefit human cultivators but are equally important for beasts. Initially, only a few scattered beasts appeared, but as time passed, more beasts were drawn by the scent towards Wolf King Valley.
To protect the Celestial Profound Flower from being seized by these beasts, the three had to use all means to block the beasts from entering the valley.
On the third day,
a Fiery Flame Nether Bird, even larger than the previous Golden-winged Giant Eagle they encountered, invaded the valley. Besides the Fiery Flame Nether Bird, over a hundred various beasts appeared.
After a fierce battle, Ye Qingchen directly killed the Fiery Flame Nether Bird outside the valley.
On the fifth day,
a Profound Nether Poison Python attacked. Its appearance was followed by countless poisonous snakes, turning the entire Wolf King Valley into a sea of venom...
On the seventh day,
a Two-winged Saber-toothed Tiger broke into Wolf King Valley!
This Saber-toothed Tiger, with wings on its back, could fly short distances. Wherever it passed, giant trees fell, and rocks crumbled, unstoppable.
On the eighth day...
On the ninth day...
On the tenth day...
The continuous daily battles, coupled with the abundant spiritual Qi supply in Wolf King Valley, significantly enhanced the trio's strength.
Hong Man and Jiang Churan both reached the Spiritual Sea Realm Fourth Layer one after another.
Ye Qingchen's power was rapidly approaching the Spiritual Sea Sixth Heaven.
At the same time,
Ye Qingchen's mastery of the Second-Layer Sword Intent became increasingly proficient. When the seed in his mind finally broke open, a sense of enlightenment surged, revealing a power akin to 'gale'!
As the trio's strength increased, their speed in hunting beasts quickened. Eventually, with the accumulating beast corpses outside the valley forming heaps like hills, no beast dared to enter Wolf King Valley.
Subsequently,
the Celestial Profound Flower was on the verge of fully blooming.
Meanwhile,
the divine light that had been held in the Celestial Profound Flower erupted fully. A light pillar, hundreds of feet high, shot skyward, dispersing the accumulated fragrance.
"What is that?"
In the Guangling Secret Realm, the cultivators from various factions, seeing the towering light pillar, couldn't help but look toward the direction of Wolf King Valley.
"Heavenly phenomenon! A Spiritual Treasure has emerged!"
After a momentary shock,
numerous cultivators reacted instantly, rushing toward Wolf King Valley without any hesitation. Such an extraordinary phenomenon indicated that the treasure emerging this time was no ordinary relic.
The reason they entered the Guangling Secret Realm was for treasures; how could they give up now?
Soon, they arrived outside the valley, directly seeing the exotic flower in the spring at the valley's center. The towering light pillar and extraordinary fragrance emanated from that flower.
However,
none of these cultivators dared step into the valley.
Because outside the valley, there was a mountain-like pile of beast corpses, blood flowing like a scene from the Asura Purgatory.
"Why are there so many beast corpses?"
"They seem to have been hunted... Who on earth has the power to hunt so many beasts?"
"It's terrifying!"
Faced with the beast corpses, the many cultivators dared not step into the valley, discussing with faces full of dread. Just then, a voice suddenly rang out.
"Look!"
"There's someone inside the valley!"
Everyone immediately looked into the valley.
They saw.
In the valley, there were three figures sitting cross-legged in cultivation.
"Who are they?"
"Could it be they who killed these beasts?"
The crowd exchanged bewildered glances.
At this moment,
the outside clamor awakened Jiang Churan and Hong Man from their intense cultivation, and they looked up to find the area outside Wolf King Valley teeming with cultivators from all directions.
Hong Man frowned, stepped forward, and cupped his fist toward the crowd, saying:
"Fellow cultivators, I am Hong Man, this is Jiang Churan, and the one inside is Ye Qingchen! We discovered this Celestial Profound Flower first, and we've been guarding it for thirteen days..."
Boom!
As his words fell, the crowd erupted into an uproar. Their hearts were filled with fear and regret, with mixed emotions swirling inside.
They regretted.
The treasure already had owners.
According to the rules of the Guangling Secret Realm, all treasures went to the first discoverers.
They feared.
The numerous beasts outside Wolf King Valley were indeed slain by these people.
This realization made some unscrupulous cultivators, who intended to kill and seize the treasure, abandon such thoughts immediately.
"It's actually the Newcomer King Ye Qingchen!"
"Such extraordinary prowess..."
"Since you arrived first, by convention, the treasure rightfully belongs to you!"
Recovering from their shock, the many cultivators outside the valley expressed their congratulations. Though tempted by the treasure, it was clear the other party's strength far exceeded theirs, leaving them no hope.
Treasures are rare, but one's life is more precious.
As some prepared to leave or reluctantly lingered, a cold laugh suddenly came from the side:
"In the Guangling Secret Realm, treasures belong to the strong! So what if you guarded for thirteen days? What's a Newcomer King? Who does Ye Qingchen think he is? This exotic flower should belong to our Celestial Essence Sword Sect!"
