Chapter 186 4th Life: Poisonous Toad Skill, Law Dao Mark!_2
The most remarkable feature of this place is that it forms a world of its own, not yet fully eroded by polluted spiritual energy, so it still retains many traces of ancient times.
"This is..."
When Lu Yuan stepped into the inner area, his steps suddenly halted, and his expression was somewhat surprised.
Because about three or four miles ahead, there was a valley.
That valley was the core area of the Cyan Spirit Secret Realm, shrouded in layers of ancient arrays, with extremely tight defenses.
And inside the valley, the mountains were clear, the water beautiful, and birds chirped among the fragrant flowers. Many spiritual birds and exotic beasts strolled leisurely through the mountains and forests, like a paradise on earth!
Besides that.
On the surface of those spiritual birds and exotic beasts, many light spots remained, each representing a spirit gu!
For a moment.
Lu Yuan even thought his eyes were playing tricks on him.
The Heavenly Dao here was distorted, and all things were mutated.
Since he reincarnated into this world, this was the first time he saw normal things.
He blinked hard several times, confirming it carefully multiple times before he dared to accept this fact!
"I was right, the Spirit Realm was once a normal world in ancient times, but due to some indescribable reason, it eventually evolved into what it is today."
Lu Yuan looked at the valley, which was like a mortal immortal realm, feeling quite emotional.
However, one man's honey is another man's poison.
To Lu Yuan, this valley could be described as a paradise.
But in the eyes of other parasitic cultivators, it was extremely dangerous and a deadly trap!
At this moment, a large number of talented disciples from various sects had gathered outside the valley.
"Although the Cyan Spirit Secret Realm forms a world of its own, the Heaven and Earth Laws are incomplete, still in their infancy, and every ten years it will give birth to ten kinds of Heaven and Earth Wonders."
"These ten kinds of Heaven and Earth Wonders each contain a trace of a Heaven and Earth Law Fragment. If someone can obtain one of these wonders, they can condense a top-grade Golden Core!"
These talented disciples stared passionately at the valley ahead, their expressions somewhat excited.
One must know that these Heaven and Earth Wonders have extraordinary uses, not only enhancing the quality of the Golden Core but also purifying their bones and enhancing their comprehension and aptitude!
According to the summarized experience of various forces in the past, any talented disciple who successfully obtains one Heaven and Earth Wonder will easily step into the Nascent Soul Realm in the future, and there is even a twenty percent chance of becoming a Divinity Transformation Great Power!
This also means that the Cyan Spirit Secret Realm can nurture at least two hopeful talented individuals for the Divinity Transformation Realm each time it opens.
And precisely because of this.
The Cyan Spirit Secret Realm is hailed as the Supreme Core Formation Land!
"This valley is the core of the Cyan Spirit Secret Realm, and every ten years a tide of laws will be brewed, during which all Heaven and Earth Wonders and numerous heavenly materials and earthly treasures will spew out from the valley."
"However, this valley is extremely dangerous, even Core Formation cultivators dare not forcefully enter. According to the elders' advice, we just need to patiently wait here for the Heaven and Earth Wonders to appear."
At the valley's exit, a young man of extraordinary temperament, bearing a giant sword and wearing a black long robe, spoke unhurriedly.
And the other Giant Sword Pavilion disciples surrounded him like stars enclosing the moon.
For this person was none other than Sun Hong, the leading figure of the younger generation in the Giant Sword Pavilion!
"Senior Brother Sun is right, in that case, we will take this spot."
All Giant Sword Pavilion disciples followed his words without question, immediately occupying the position closest to the valley's exit.
As for the talented disciples of other forces, they also followed suit, occupying advantageous positions.
After all, every time the Heaven and Earth Wonders emerge, they will automatically fly out of the valley.
And the closer to the valley's exit, the greater the chance of obtaining a Heaven and Earth Wonder.
If one's position is further back, they might not even get the leftovers others left.
At this point.
The strength and weakness of each major force were also evident.
Reputed as the number one sect in the Southern Domain, the Giant Sword Pavilion possessed the strongest power and foundation, naturally taking the position closest to the valley's exit.
Though the Qingxu Sect was uncompetitive, its status was transcendent, filled with powerful figures, rumored to have two Divinity Transformation strong persons presiding, making even the Giant Sword Pavilion take their strength seriously.
Thus, they took the second most advantageous position.
Behind the Qingxu Sect were numerous disciples of the Valley of Ten Thousand Poisons, wearing colorful clothes with tattoos of poisonous insects and scorpions all over their bodies.
While the Valley of Ten Thousand Poisons disciples are not adept at frontal combat, their methods of poisoning and beast taming are unparalleled, and they repay kindness with grudges, often annihilating an entire family in retaliation, making few dare to provoke them.
And the Medicine Buddha Sect disciples, having arrived early, fortunately secured the fourth position.
"In the past, our Medicine Buddha Sect was always in the back, only able to snatch what others left."
"This time, thanks to Senior Brother Lin Xuan leading, we reached this valley so quickly."
"As for Lu Yuan, he vanished as soon as the secret realm opened, no sense of sect honor at all. How can such a selfish person be worthy of being an inheritance disciple?"
"In my opinion, Senior Brother Lin Xuan is truly the rightful first among the younger generation of our sect!"
Other Medicine Buddha Sect disciples rejoiced.
The Senior Brother Lin Xuan they spoke of was the purple-robed youth who had tried to invite Lu Yuan to form a team but was heartlessly rejected.
"With Senior Brother Lin Xuan presiding this time, we are bound to obtain one Heaven and Earth Wonder, and if luck is on our side, we might even secure one or two more!"
"We cultivators should guard against arrogance and impatience, never forgetting that the competition in every trial is extremely fierce. Until the very end, no one knows who will win."
Lin Xuan solemnly warned.
But as he spoke, the confidence in his heart was evident, clearly believing that he would definitely secure a Heaven and Earth Wonder this time.
However, before Lin Xuan and others could rejoice, a group of North Cold Sect disciples wearing white robes stormed over aggressively.
"Move aside, do you bald donkeys deserve to be here?"
A white-haired young man at the head of the North Cold Sect rudely chastised.
The young man's white hair and purple eyes, with deep, starry, and enigmatic light flickering within.
"Ye Mo, what's the meaning of this, the saying 'first come, first served' applies here. My Medicine Buddha Sect arrived first, so this spot belongs to us."
Seeing this person, Lin Xuan's pupils shrank, feeling a headache.
As the leading figure of the younger generation in the North Cold Sect, Ye Mo's cultivation aptitude wasn't exceptional, making his fame somewhat unmerited.
Now over thirty, he barely reached Foundation Establishment Perfection.
Whether in terms of power or aptitude, he could only be considered mediocre and couldn't be compared to Lin Xuan or even many Medicine Buddha Sect inner sect disciples.
Yet Ye Mo's unshakeable status in the North Cold Sect was because he had a brother with an extraordinarily brilliant talent.
Ye Chen!
As the number one genius in the Southern Domain, Ye Chen's status in the North Cold Sect was supreme, even the North Cold Sect Master needed to treat him with respect.
And with Ye Chen's high-standing status, his family and friends also benefited greatly, ascending together.
Therefore, even though Ye Mo's talent wasn't exceptional, no one in the younger generation of the North Cold Sect dared to provoke him!
"First come, first served, you dare say that?"
Ye Mo sneered, his throat moved twice, then he spat a thick phlegm directly towards Lin Xuan's face.
This action had no lethality but was extremely humiliating for a cultivator.
Fortunately, Lin Xuan reacted quickly and hurriedly moved to the side.
"Smack!"
The disciple standing behind him, caught off guard, was hit squarely by this mouthful of phlegm.
But before the disciple could feel disgusted, a non-human scream erupted.
It seemed that Ye Mo's saliva contained some highly poisonous substance, and as soon as it touched the flesh, it sizzled and released black smoke, corroding a bloody hole on the disciple's face in seconds!
Soon after, the disciple's body fell heavily to the ground, dying from the poison on the spot.
"This is the Poisonous Toad Skill of the Valley of Ten Thousand Poisons? I didn't expect you to cultivate such a sinister technique!"
Seeing the disciple's miserable state, Lin Xuan couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart.
At the same time, he also realized another more serious problem.
The Poisonous Toad Skill is the exclusive secret manual of the Valley of Ten Thousand Poisons and isn't easily passed on.
And Ye Mo, as a disciple of the North Cold Sect, not only cultivated this poison skill but also dared to display it publicly.
Doesn't this mean that there is already an unspeakable trade and relationship between the North Cold Sect and the Valley of Ten Thousand Poisons?
