Chapter 293: A World of Treasures in a Place Others Call a Death Trap

Inside Falling Phoenix Valley, the remnants of the Demon Sect thought they could easily mess with Xiao Yang.

However, they didn’t anticipate that Xiao Yang’s powers hadn’t vanished.

So, these Demon Sect leftovers faced instant misfortune.

Xiao Yang didn’t hold back; these devils were pure evil, and they deserved no mercy.

He swiftly dispatched these Demon Sect remnants.

Xiao Yang sent Xiao Zhenshan’s family out of Falling Phoenix Valley.

“Yang’er…”

Chen Ruolan hesitated, still not giving up hope.

“Your Yang’er is dead. The current me is beyond your reach!”

As Xiao Yang spoke, he turned around and walked into Falling Phoenix Valley without looking back.

“Big Brother, you…”

Xiao Yue stared in shock at Xiao Yang’s retreating figure, unable to believe he was actually going into this dangerous place.

This was Falling Phoenix Valley.

Falling Phoenix Valley was the second most treacherous area in the Northern Realm after the Demon Abyss.

Even the strongest practitioners in the Holy Realm wouldn’t dare set foot here.

Xiao Yang was strong, but he couldn’t compete with Holy Realm warriors.

Xiao Zhenshan wanted to say something, but his lips moved without any words coming out.

They watched helplessly as Xiao Yang’s figure disappeared into the valley.

To the world, Falling Phoenix Valley was a death trap, but to Xiao Yang, it was a land of treasures.

For endless ages, this place had only allowed entry, never exit.

Those powerful figures who ventured in had all perished here.

No one had ever lived to return from the depths of Falling Phoenix Valley.

“Let’s go!”

Xiao Zhenshan sighed deeply and turned to leave.

Chen Ruolan and Xiao Yue followed, occasionally glancing back into the valley.

As if they would never see Xiao Yang again.

Meanwhile, Xiao Yang was crossing through the ruins again.

This was just the outskirts of Falling Phoenix Valley.

Even at the periphery, dangers lurked everywhere.

Many had lost their lives searching for a safe path through this ruin.

Xiao Yang arrived once more at the corpses of the Demon Sect remnants.

A strong smell of blood filled the air.

He recalled scenes from the last life when the treasure of Falling Phoenix Valley had emerged.

Almost all powerful figures from the Northern Realm had been drawn here by that artifact.

The sight of bodies littered across Falling Phoenix Valley still lingered in his mind.

In his previous life, he had nearly perished when he entered this valley.

In the end, he was the only one who made it into the Emperor’s tomb and obtained the Futian Sword Technique.

Returning here, Xiao Yang couldn’t help but feel nostalgic.

Without hesitation, he pressed forward into the depths of the valley.

In this life, no one dared to tread deep into the valley yet.

However, Falling Phoenix Valley was currently no less dangerous.

Xiao Yang didn’t dare be careless.

If he triggered the restrictions here, even he would face death.

The valley was filled with countless arrays of power.

The outskirts were manageable; the restrictions weren’t too strong, but the further he went inside, the more potent the remnants of the array became.

Even after years of erosion, the array still operated.

There were no clear paths ahead, just ruins of ancient buildings crumbling everywhere.

Among these ancient remnants grew countless spiritual herbs.

Suddenly, Xiao Yang stopped.

In front of him stood a massive red tree.

With crimson leaves and a deep red trunk.

The roots were thick and powerful, buried deep in the ground.

The trunk was wide enough for several people to embrace, covered in cracked bark.

Hanging from the branches were fruit the size of fists, translucent and resembling glowing fireballs.

“Fire Spirit Fruit…?!”

Xiao Yang gazed at the branches heavy with Fire Spirit Fruit, both shocked and delighted.

This was one of the five elemental spiritual fruits.

In his previous life, the big shots of the Northern Realm had gone insane upon seeing this Fire Spirit Tree and its fruits.

To seize the Fire Spirit Fruit, they sparked fierce battles among themselves.

Xiao Yang remembered when he arrived here before; not only were the Fire Spirit Fruits taken, but the Fire Spirit Tree itself was toppled, stripped of its branches and leaves.

This was one of the divine trees among the five elements—the Fire Spirit Tree.

Not only were its fruits top-tier spiritual herbs, but the entire Fire Spirit Tree was also an incredibly rare precious resource.

Now, the entire Fire Spirit Tree belonged to him, Xiao Yang.

He was incredibly excited.

Once he gathered all five elemental spiritual fruits, he could concoct the Five Elemental Transformation Pill.

This was the miraculous pill documented in the Wujidan Canon.

In the Northern Realm, pills could be classified into Spiritual Pills, Divine Pills, Holy Pills, and Immortal Pills.

Currently, even the Heavenly Medical Sect and Dan Ding Sect, both of which trained in medicine and martial arts, couldn’t produce a Divine Pill.

Let alone the Holy Pill.

And the Immortal Pill was just a legend.

Xiao Yang didn’t rush forward.

These Fire Spirit Fruits weren’t easy to obtain.

Because where spiritual fruits appeared, dangerous beasts or toxins often lurked.

After some thought, he summoned the Fire Lin Beast sealed in his arm.

*Crash!*

The Fire Lin Beast landed, immediately growling at the Fire Spirit Tree.

In no time, a large red snake raised its head from the branches of the Fire Spirit Tree.

Xiao Yang’s heart raced when he saw it.

Before him was a snake as thick as a barrel, covered in red scales, with a small horn atop its gigantic triangular head.

This was the spiritual beast, One-Horned Fire Lin Python.

Such a large One-Horned Fire Lin Python was nearly close to transforming into a Half Saint beast.

Without hesitation, the Fire Lin Beast leaped at the One-Horned Fire Lin Python.

The One-Horned Fire Lin Python shot from the tree, lunging at the Fire Lin Beast.

This was a showdown of two fire-type spiritual beasts.

Of course, the Fire Lin Beast had already transformed into the Fire Lin Saint Beast.

The Fire Lin Saint Beast swiftly pinned the One-Horned Fire Lin Python down, aiming to take it out in one bite.

“Stop!?”

Xiao Yang called out just in time.

If he killed that big snake, who would guard this divine tree?

Xiao Yang stepped forward, plucking several Fire Spirit Fruits, then turned to leave.

It wasn’t time to raid the Emperor’s Tomb yet.

He would wait until the array’s power was at its weakest before making his move.

The Fire Lin Saint Beast released the One-Horned Fire Lin Python and chased after Xiao Yang.

Once it caught up, it transformed into a beam of light, darting back into Xiao Yang’s right arm.

Having secured several Fire Spirit Fruits, his trip was not in vain.

Fire Spirit Fruits were also key ingredients for concocting Fire Spirit Pills.

After exiting Falling Phoenix Valley, Xiao Yang headed straight back to Qingyun Mountain.

At this moment, the Qingyang Sword Sect was loudly recruiting new disciples.

The Qingyang Sword Sect opened its doors to eager participants, creating a sensation in the Northern Realm.

Countless people flocked to the Qingyang Sword Sect.

It was more chaotic than when they had crowned the Sect Holy Son.

Many aspired to join the first sect of the Northern Realm, the Qingyang Sword Sect.

“I heard they enrolled over a hundred new disciples on the first day.”

In the secret realm on the back mountain of Qingyun Sect, Liu Qingyun said gloomily.

Compared to the excitement at Qingyang Sword Sect, they appeared eerily quiet.

“Let them be; the louder, the better.”

Xiao Yang shrugged.

“Brother, are you planning something again?”

Liu Qingyun looked at Xiao Yang thoughtfully.

Xiao Yang smiled without saying a word.

He had evidence of Jiang Qitian’s past deeds.

He had preserved the conversation between Jiang Qitian and Long Chen with a light-reflecting mirror; once revealed, Jiang Qitian would be tarnished.

This time, Jiang Qitian wouldn’t have a chance to turn things around.

“Nangong Hui, go find out where Long Chen is right now.”

Xiao Yang instructed Nangong Hui, who stood nearby.

“Yes, Master!”

Nangong Hui complied and set off.

“Kid, what do you want with Long Chen?”

Chen Taixu asked curiously from across the stone table.

“Haha, he’s trying to recruit Long Chen. If Long Chen joins our Qingyun Sect, our strength will skyrocket.”

Liu Qingyun laughed heartily.

He was friends with Long Chen; it might just be possible to convince him to join.

Xiao Yang’s intentions for finding Long Chen ran deeper.

Without Long Chen, how could the grand play continue?

Long Chen was the protagonist of that incident back then.

Jiang Qitian was a hypocrite who had seized everything from Long Chen through despicable means.

Xiao Yang wanted to give Long Chen a chance for revenge.

“Let Long Chen join Qingyun Sect?”

Chen Taixu’s eyes brightened at the mention.

Currently, Qingyun Sect was lacking powerful practitioners.

If Long Chen could join, it would be a monumental boon for them.

“By the way, have the Chen family disciples brought by the Master been settled?”

Xiao Yang looked towards Liu Qingyun.

“Don’t worry, Brother. Our Qingyun Sect has plenty of housing; I’ve arranged the disciples in the most spiritually vibrant areas. I’m sure they’ll be able to establish a foundation soon.”

Liu Qingyun said excitedly.

Chen Taixu brought dozens of Chen family disciples, many of whom had good potential.

“That’s too slow!

I want each of them to establish a foundation immediately!”

Xiao Yang proclaimed.

“What?!

How’s that possible?”

Liu Qingyun gasped in shock.

Establishing a foundation for dozens of disciples at once? Who could manage that?

Ling Xian’er and Chen Taixu shared the same incredulous gaze at Xiao Yang.

Under everyone’s gaze, Xiao Yang pulled out more than a dozen jade bottles from his storage bag.

“What…”

Everyone looked at the jade bottles, confused.

“These are fifteen bottles of Foundation Establishment Pills, each containing twelve pills—a total of one hundred eighty. Is that enough?”

Xiao Yang looked seriously at Liu Qingyun.

“Enough, definitely enough! I’ll complete this mission!”

Liu Qingyun was overwhelmed with excitement upon hearing they were Foundation Establishment Pills.

With that many pills, the new disciples would be able to establish a foundation easily.

If one wasn’t enough, they could use two or three.

With one hundred eighty Foundation Establishment Pills, they could bash those dozens of new disciples into foundation establishment!

“I heard someone snatched pills from Qingyang Sword Sect. Was that you?”

Chen Taixu eyed Xiao Yang suspiciously.

“Yeah, that was me, haha…”

Xiao Yang laughed heartily.

…

At that moment, in the Saint Son’s Residence of Qingyang Sword Sect.

“Unbelievable! Xiao Yang is still alive?! What are you all doing? You couldn’t even eliminate a self-destructing Xiao Yang! What use am I for you?!”

Qin Fei shouted furiously at a jade talisman in his hand.

“It looks like it’s time to deploy the killer move. Xiao Yang, you’re finished!”

Qin Fei gritted his teeth.
