Chapter 88: The Enigma of the Valley!
The next day.
At the crack of dawn, Gu He got up and packed his belongings, preparing for the journey.
Creak!
As he pushed the door open, Gu He had just stepped out of his room and saw a small figure sitting in the pavilion not far away.
"This girl, why is she up so early?"
Looking at the sleeping figure leaning on the pavilion, Gu He felt a bit puzzled.
Later, Gu He walked over and patted the delicate face of the still-sleeping little apprentice.
"Disciple, disciple..."
With Gu He's two calls, Xiao Yi Xian woke up with a gentle look. She looked at Gu He and subconsciously called out, "Teacher!"
Gu He looked at Xiao Yi Xian and asked in confusion, "Disciple, why aren't you sleeping in your room?"
Xiao Yi Xian was a little stunned, then remembered something. Her face changed, "Right, teacher, disciple has something to give you."
Then, Xiao Yi Xian took out a large package from her storage ring and held it in her arms. She smiled and said to Gu He, "Teacher, since you are going on a long journey, disciple has prepared some pastries for you to eat on the way."
"Don't worry, what disciple made for you is all your favorite." Xiao Yi Xian said sweetly.
Looking at the large package in Xiao Yi Xian's hand, Gu He fell silent for a moment and slowly said, "You didn't sleep all night just for these?"
At these words, Xiao Yi Xian nodded slightly, "Teacher, you like disciple's cooking the most, right? Since you'll be gone for a long time, if you can't eat what disciple makes, won't you miss it? So, disciple made a little more this time."
Looking at Xiao Yi Xian's smiling face, Gu He felt a warmth in his heart. He then took the package from her and smiled, "You girl, you're considerate. Teacher hasn't spoiled you in vain."
Xiao Yi Xian giggled.
Gu He rubbed her little head and said softly, "Go back, rest. Teacher is only going out for a month; I'll be back soon."
"Okay."
At these words, Xiao Yi Xian obediently nodded and walked towards her room.
Gu He looked at the package in his hand and then put it into his storage ring.
The next moment, Gu He's thoughts moved, and he used the skill "Ascension Steps."
When Gu He's figure appeared again, he had already reached the foot of Yunlan Mountain.
Then, Gu He released Little Jin, who had been kept in the system space last night.
"Little Jin, grow!"
Under Gu He's command, Little Jin instantly transformed into a colossal bird that covered the sky and flew into the air.
Gu He leaped onto Little Jin's back, and soon they disappeared from Yunlan Sect's territory.
"Let's find a place to break through the Dou Ancestor realm first..."
Sitting steadily on Little Jin's back, Gu He's eyes flickered with thoughtful colors.
After a while, Gu He pointed in a direction and said to Little Jin, "Go in this direction..."
Swoosh!
With a loud, piercing cry, Little Jin's speed suddenly soared, heading rapidly towards the direction indicated by Gu He.
Above the high sky, mist lingered.
A colossal bird, traversing through the mist, moved at an extremely high speed.
Gu He stood on the back of the colossal bird, and his soul power probed downward.
"We're almost there..."
Watching the towering mountain range not far away, Gu He squinted his eyes.
"Little Jin, get ready to descend."
Gu He looked at the approaching Magic Beast Mountain Range and ordered Little Jin. Little Jin let out a cry, then swiftly descended towards the ground.
Looking at the Qing Shan Town below, a trace of trance flashed in Gu He's eyes.
The last time he was here, he was still a Nine-Star Dou King.
In just a few months, his strength underwent earth-shaking changes, reaching the pinnacle of the Nine-Star Dou Emperor realm.
Passing by Qing Shan Town, Gu He did not have the intention to stop. Following his previous memory, he headed towards the direction of a small valley on the outskirts of the Magic Beast Mountain Range.
Passing through the mountains, Gu He sat on Little Jin's back and slowly descended at the entrance of the valley.
After landing, Little Jin's body quickly shrank, transforming into a small golden bird, perching on Gu He's shoulder.
Standing at the entrance of the valley, Gu He couldn't help but sigh.
The last time he broke through to the Dou Emperor realm here, he didn't expect to come back here again after breaking through to the Dou Ancestor realm.
The word "destiny" is truly indescribable!
Converging his mind, Gu He slowly walked into the valley.
Before completely entering the valley, Gu He felt the rich energy permeating the void.
"What a good place to break through!"
Gu He revealed a smile and then slowly entered the valley.
Inside the valley, the energy became even more concentrated, condensing into a mist.
Various precious herbs grew in the valley, and the fragrance of medicine, mixed with the mist of energy, made people feel refreshed.
Looking at the mist of energy and various precious herbs in the valley, Gu He couldn't help but feel a bit puzzled.
"Why is there such a rich energy and such a large quantity of precious herbs growing in this valley?"
Last time he came here to retreat, it was a bit rushed, and Gu He didn't pay attention to this issue.
Now that he has come again, looking at the scene in front of him, Gu He couldn't help but feel a bit puzzled.
Could there be some secret hidden in this valley? Suddenly, a thought flashed through Gu He's mind.
Otherwise, there is no way to explain why there is such a special scene in this valley.
Perhaps, there might be some treasures hidden here.
Thinking of this, anticipation appeared in Gu He's eyes.
To create such a scene, if there is indeed a treasure in this valley, then this treasure must be extraordinary.
Next, Gu He's thoughts moved, releasing his soul power to probe within the valley.
Today, he must find out what kind of secret is hidden in this valley.
Soul power swept through the mist of energy, and Gu He carefully observed every unusual place.
"Hmm!"
After a while, Gu He made a light sound. His soul power instantly converged towards a corner of the valley.
Through the sensing of soul power, Gu He found that the energy mist in this corner was much denser than other places.
"It seems that the oddity is here."
Gu He's thoughts moved, and his figure immediately appeared in this corner of the valley.
Gu He approached the mountain wall and carefully examined it.
Just at this moment, a rich energy mist suddenly gushed out from a crack in the mountain wall.
"Hmm!"
Gu He was immediately attracted, his eyes filled with surprise, then suddenly enlightened, "So the energy mist in this valley all comes from here."
"It seems that there is some secret hidden in this mountain wall."
Gu He hesitated for a moment, his mind moved, and he released his essence fire, starting to explore within the mountain wall.
As Gu He's purple flame rose
, a raging fire suddenly ignited in front of the mountain wall.
Under the burning of the Essence Fire, the mountain wall slowly melted.
