Five Elements Sect.

After listening to his disciple’s suggestion, the Five Elements Sect Master finally managed to getr his courage back. However, at this moment, the world suddenly shook and a violent roar sounded from afar.

Immediately after that, a large amount of dust kept rising like there was an earth dragon flipping its body, almost forming a gray curtain in the sky!

“It seems to be coming from the direction of the Thousand Autumn Valley.”

After sensing the surroundings for a moment, the Five Elements Sect Master’s expression changed drastically. “What exactly are these things underground!!”

He hurriedly flew up into the sky and looked into the distance, towards the source of the tremor. Immediately, his heart sank.

It was a huge scar that could be described as “earth splitting”. It lay across the ground and spread outwards from the Thousand Autumn Valley. From his angle, it was clearly the scar of a sword strike that had torn through the ground!

A sword strike from Thousand Autumn!

“Is this… a warning from the Thousand Autumn Valley?”

Sensing the terrifying aura that kept coming from the depths of the crack, the Five Elements Sect Master shivered for no reason as goosebumps appeared on the back of his neck.

As far as he was concerned, this was undoubtedly a warning from the Thousand Autumn Valley, and most likely a warning from that mysterious Primal Core Realm expert!

“This sword… this sword!”

The Five Elements Sect Master stared fixedly at the crack. His consciousness started circulating at an astonishing speed. Drops of sweat that were the size of beans kept seeping out from his back, gradually accumulating into a puddle under his body.

No matter how one looked at it, the long and narrow crack was the mark of a sword strike.

From the Thousand Autumn Valley in the west, the sword strike had split the vast land all the way to the entrance of the Five Elements Sect.

If this sword strike had continued forward, it would undoubtedly have torn the Five Elements Sect apart!

For a moment, the Five Elements Sect Master’s face turned even paler. His aura quickly weakened and his body swayed. There was even blood flowing from the corner of his mouth.

After an unknown period of time, he suddenly trembled violently and took a few steps back. He fell to the ground on his butt as more blood flowed out of the corner of his mouth, then he crouched over the ground and wept as if his parents had died.

“This sword… I can’t understand it!”

He subconsciously tried to deduce the profundities of this sword strike. However, no matter how he tried to exhaust his mind and his thoughts, he was unable to see through the secret of this earth splitting sword strike and suffered a heavy injury for his efforts instead.

If he could not even understand it, how could he crack the mystery and deal with it?

“I can’t understand… I can’t understand at all.”

The Five Elements Sect Master sat there in a daze, muttering to himself. He seemed to be laughing and crying at the same time. After an unknown period of time, he shook his head forcefully and pulled himself together again.

“If this sword is a warning from that expert, then even the plan that Xuan’er came up with might not work!”

“Perhaps it’s time to make a decision.”

The Five Elements Sect Master stood up again and looked in the direction of the Thousand Autumn Valley. His gaze gradually became intense. “Thousand Autumn Valley, our sect has lost this time. However… the Five Elements Sect won’t be subservient to others forever!”

Back then, the Thousand Autumn Valley had indeed blocked a calamity for the Five Elements Sect. It was not an exaggeration to say that this favor weighed heavier than ten thousand mountains.

However, as time passed, the kindness they received from the Thousand Autumn Valley became a nightmare that haunted every Sect Master of the Five Elements Sect!

If they wanted to continue to develop their strength in the Mount Canglan area, they would inevitably have to compete with the Thousand Autumn Valley. However, because of this previous kindness, the Five Elements Sect would always be inferior to the Thousand Autumn Valley when there was a conflict.

When kindness had become a curse, the only choice was to either destroy the kindness or transcend the curse.

The Five Elements Sect merely chose the former.

“That person is at the Primal Core Realm, so he should be broad-minded. If I personally pay a visit to apologize and explain the pros and cons of the matter, perhaps I might be able to make him show mercy…”

Finally, the Five Elements Sect Master made his decision.

…

The abnormal tremor that erupted from the Thousand Autumn Valley also alarmed many other people.

The Hundred Nether Sect, Tianjue Sect, Demon Wolf Castle… All the different sects located at Mount Canglan, as long as they had divine beings in the Divine Power Realm within their ranks, could feel this tremor.

It did not take long for someone to determine the source of the tremor. It was the Thousand Autumn Valley that had just experienced a huge battle.

“The tremor is caused by the Thousand Autumn Valley?”

“Or is it a warning from that Primal Core Realm expert?”

The Tianjue Sect Master’s expression darkened. He violently smacked the table beside him, causing the teapot on the table to fly up and fall with a bang. “Damn it… The young master of our sect is still in the hands of the Thousand Autumn Valley…”

Young Master Mu, the young sect master of Tianjue Sect, was the successor whom he had spent a lot of effort to nurture.

Therefore, how could the Tianjue Sect Master accept him being a captive of the Thousand Autumn Valley?

He stood up and paced back and forth with his hands behind his back, his eyes flickering. After a long time, he finally gritted his teeth and made a decision. “In this battle, although I’ve attacked repeatedly, I’ve always hidden myself in the dark. As long as the other fellow practitioners don’t say anything, the Thousand Autumn Valley probably doesn’t know.”

“Perhaps, as long as I pay a certain price, I can make an exchange for Mu’er!”

Hundred Nether Sect.

The rolls of flesh on the fat middle-aged man’s face were almost covering his eyes. He could not help but grimace. “Why hasn’t our sect’s Saintess returned yet… something must have gone wrong!”

“If anything should happen to the Saintess, how do I answer to the Yan Clan’s ancestors and apologize to First Ancestor…”

The more he thought about it, the more bitter his expression became.

In a dense forest tens of miles away from the Thousand Autumn Valley.

A few figures carefully walked through the tall forest and finally found a cold pool hidden under the vines. They swam along the cold pool for a thousand feet before reaching the mysterious ruin that Mo Yushu had mentioned.

“After we pass through this cold pool, we’ll reach what I said…”

Mo Yushu was only halfway through his sentence when the ground suddenly shook!

Immediately after, the cold pool water suddenly bubbled vigorously. Under the dumbfounded gazes of the Thousand Autumn Valley disciples, the pool water automatically retreated, revealing an endless passageway!

“What… what happened?”

Ye Yi was so shocked that he almost fell to the ground.

…

“What is this… What exactly is this?”

In the Thousand Autumn Valley, after the tremors had completely subsided, Feng Xia rushed over with Zhu Youniang. He looked at the long street that was at least tens of kilometers long with an expression that said, “Are you freaking kidding me?”

After he activated the eight small spiritual light bells, the ground of the Thousand Autumn Valley actually cracked open and a mysterious long street rose from the ground.

Just the sight of those ancient and dilapidated buildings were enough to make people feel the vicissitudes of time. However, there was also an indescribable sense of sacredness that filled the long street, making people involuntarily feel solemn the moment they got closer.

“Don’t tell me…”

Turning his head to look at Lei Shao who had rushed over, Feng Xia suddenly thought of a possibility. “Everyone is wrong. Whether it’s the Thousand Autumn Bell back then or the eight small spiritual light bells later on, they are not the inheritance left behind by the first Sect Master.”

“The eight small spiritual light bells are only the key to opening the inheritance!”

“And this long street… is the real inheritance!”
