Chapter 673: The Common Valley Turmoil (Part 2)



With their Immortal Realm abilities, they flew for two more hours before finally stopping.

He Yunfang suddenly waved his hand in the void, causing ripples in the air that gradually dispersed, revealing a small courtyard.

This courtyard, like a small island, floated in mid-air. It wasn't very large, covering roughly four to five hundred square meters.

Due to the limited resources of the breath soil, only a thin layer, no more than one meter thick, covered the ground. Above this layer, a small mountain was conjured using Formation.

The protective range of breath soil was limited, so the small mountain couldn't be built too high, only about three hundred meters. Nonetheless, the mountain was exquisite, with small houses scattered throughout, totaling several hundred finely crafted wooden huts, very quaint.

This mountain wasn't just built above the breath soil; even below the breath soil was a small mountain, with a slightly different architectural style, inhabited by different people.

As every inch of land was precious, the protective range of breath soil was maximized by the Formation.

"If you plan to build your own house in the future, try not to use spatial abilities on the breath soil, as void turbulence can easily interfere with spatial Formation, making the breath soil unstable, eventually shattering space," He Yunfang warned again.

Spatial abilities, like when Xiang Beifei previously fit the entire Changpan Valley into the breath soil, rely on Spiritual Power to maintain.

"What is void turbulence?" Xiang Beifei asked.

"Void power is very unstable. You can think of it as a special kind of wind! When this wind strikes, it makes breath soil unstable. The Formation might be fine, but spatial abilities will be destroyed, so never live in space, or else you may not escape when it collapses."

He Yunfang cautioned seriously.

"I understand."

Xiang Beifei noted these things down.

No wonder, in such a precious place, these people don't live in spatial houses. This was the reason.

He Yunfang led Xiang Beifei to fly to a small courtyard on the mountain, landing quickly. Before them stood a Taoist temple-like building, exuding an aura of immortality.

"Welcome to my humble abode, the Crane Dao Courtyard," He Yunfang smiled.

"Father, why did it take you so long?"

Speaking, a girl emerged from the courtyard and inquired.

Xiang Beifei looked up at the girl. Dressed in white with patterns, likely due to her crane origin, her legs were slender, her figure well-proportioned, and quite striking.

[Practitioner: He Qing]

[Dao embryo: Crane Dao]

[Cultivation: Mid-stage Immortal]

Another Immortal-stage expert, her Dao embryo inherited directly from He Yunfang, calling him father. Her cultivation was actually higher than He Yunfang's, which was rare.

He Yunfang laughed, "Xiao Qing, you're still home? I thought you went to Divine Feather City."

"I plan to go tomorrow."

Her gaze suddenly fell on Xiang Beifei, inquiring in surprise, "And this is...?"

"Oh yes, I hadn't introduced yet. This is Daoist Xiang, Xiang Beifei. Thanks to his help today, I narrowly escaped death," He Yunfang quickly introduced Xiang Beifei to his daughter.

Upon hearing this, He Qing's expression darkened, "What happened? Did something happen to Father?"

"Don't mention it. I had just returned from the White Stork, spotted an abandoned island on the way, and tried to refine it when Ying Changhong butted in, and we fought."

"Ying Changhong! Again him!" He Qing's eyes flashed with a fierce look, "He's causing trouble for us repeatedly; I'll go find him!"

She clenched her fists.

He Yunfang hurriedly said, "Alright, Xiao Qing, don't be hasty. I used the Divine Phoenix Bone to severely injure Ying Changhong. He's likely not feeling great right now. But at that time, I was exhausted too, nearly perishing in the void, if it weren't for Daoist Xiang passing by and pulling me out."

He Yunfang gratefully glanced at Xiang Beifei again.

He Qing was silent, then after a moment, cupped her hands to Xiang Beifei, "Thank you, Daoist, for your aid. I, He Qing, am indebted to you for saving my father's life."

"No need to be so polite," Xiang Beifei replied nonchalantly.

He Yunfang laughed, "By the way, Daoist Xiang just came from the Great Desolate Realm and isn't familiar with this place. He needs to stay here a few days to learn about the Edge Corner Airspace. Speaking of which, I still don't know what tribe Daoist Xiang belongs to over in the Great Desolate Realm?"

Many Yi Tribe cultivators are over in the Great Desolate Realm. Still, upon reaching the Immortal stage, they transform into human forms. Preoccupied with refining breath soil, He Yunfang had forgotten to ask.

Xiang Beifei did not hide it and said, "Human Race."

"Human Race!"

He Yunfang paused abruptly, his body slightly stunned, looking at Xiang Beifei with suspicion and uncertainty.

He Qing's expression also suddenly changed, even carrying a hint of wariness.

"What's the matter?" Xiang Beifei asked.

"Are you really a Human Race cultivator?"

He Qing subtly took a step to the side, just enough to shield her father, while she was already radiating an aura, guarding against Xiang Beifei, seemingly worried that he might suddenly attack them.

"Yes."

"Pure human bloodline?"

"What else?"

He Qing and He Yunfang exchanged glances.

"You seem to harbor quite a bit of hostility towards the Human Race?"

"It's not that we are hostile; what the Human Race represents, you should be clear about." He Qing said.

"What should I be clear about? It's my first time at the Edge Corner Airspace; why don't you tell me?" Xiang Beifei was rather calm.

He Yunfang recovered from his amazement, remained silent for a moment, and then said helplessly, "The Human Race is not welcome here, or rather—there are no Humans in the Edge Corner Airspace; people say this race is the source of disaster."

"Source of disaster?"

Xiang Beifei raised an eyebrow.

"The major turmoils in the Edge Corner Airspace were all incited by the Human Race, bringing disasters to many species." He Yunfang recalled something and felt quite emotional.

"What major turmoils?"

"The Common Valley unrest! Though the Edge Corner Airspace is not usually completely peaceful, with various conflicts, compared to the turmoil brought by the Human Race, they are nothing. The largest tumult was over thirty years ago, known to all as the 'Common Valley Unrest,' and it was no joke."

He Yunfang sighed.

"Common Valley!"

Xiang Beifei was utterly astonished!

"Yes, the Common Valley Unrest! Back then, a very powerful human emerged, opposing all races, breaking the void with a single sword. Countless daoists from thousands of races fell because of this, and the Dao Palace issued a manhunt order, summoning all the experts from ten thousand races to battle in the Common Valley. I have explained to you what the Dao Palace is."

He Yunfang recalled the matter, his brows deeply furrowed.

Xiang Beifei naturally understood.

The Dao Palace, tasked with nurturing breath soil, benefiting all races, essentially represents authority, and at its command, all races respond.

"That battle was extremely brutal; countless experts from the Dao Palace perished, their souls annihilated, unending flesh filling the Common Valley, staining the entire valley red with blood, a shocking sight. Ten days of void power rampant devouring blood and souls couldn't clean it, showing just how many daoists perished."

He Yunfang shook his head slightly, sighing.

"What was the cause of that unrest?" Xiang Beifei pursued.

"It is said that the human expert was inherently violent, wantonly killing innocents for cultivation, using terribly horrifying cruel methods, capturing strong experts from various races to extract and refine their souls, thus stepping into the Ancestral Dao Realm, becoming a common enemy of the major races for a time."

He Yunfang mentioned this human expert, his brows showing nothing but heaviness.

"For some reason, he could also control void power, relying on it to act wantonly. At that time, he even triggered powerful and terrifying void tides, destroying the territories of many races! With his own strength, he killed five Ancestral Dao Gods of the Dao Palace, twenty-seven ascension realm experts, and countless Inquiry Dao Realm experts, committing monstrous killings!"

Void power is feared by all races in the Edge Corner Airspace, for it can counter Spiritual Power, weakening every cultivator with Spiritual Power, who can only rely on breath soil to resist it.

So, if someone has control over void power, it definitely incites panic among countless races.

"What was that person called?"

"Wufeng."

Xiang Beifei fell into silence.
