Before long, Xu Qingfeng and the others came out, each carrying only one weapon suitable for themselves. Meanwhile, Chen Yan was satisfied as she packed a large assortment of various fragrances. At that moment, Ling Mo Xie's ears also picked up the System prompt indicating that the Task was completed.
As for the Reward, it was naturally similar to the previous Task involving Bai Yunfei. Chen Yan automatically recognized Ling Mo Xie as her master, and of course, all of this was under the System's manipulation.
Chen Yan was taken aback by this sudden change and then suspiciously looked at Ling Mo Xie. "Kid, what did you do to me?"
Ling Mo Xie smiled helplessly and said, "You really can't blame me for this. However, explaining the reasons behind it would be quite complicated."
Chen Yan gritted her teeth in frustration but felt helpless. She paced back and forth, ultimately resigning herself to the situation.
In the current Cultivation World, due to the disappearance of the Evil Ridge Sect and the death of the Saintess, chaos had erupted. The Righteous Path was stirring restlessly, while the Evil Path was also preparing for action without fear.
The Daoist Sect Leader's concerns were not unfounded; news of the near destruction of the Evil Ridge Sect quickly spread. The troubles that the Daoist Sect Leader had anticipated soon arrived.
The day after that chaotic battle, several individuals dressed in black robes, their bodies swirling with Demonic Energy, appeared at the gates of the Evil Ridge Sect. These individuals were seniors from the Evil Ridge Sect, including former Gate Masters and Elders.
They were all those who had failed to ascend from the Evil Ridge Sect throughout its history and had instead cultivated as Scattered Immortals. As long as they were still alive, they came; they represented the greatest fighting force within the Evil Ridge Sect, many of whom were even stronger than the Evil Ridge Sect Leader.
The Daoist Sect Leader was only comparable in cultivation to the Evil Ridge Sect Leader and naturally could not fend off these individuals. However, the Taoist Sect also had a history as long as that of the Evil Ridge Sect. Since there were Scattered Immortals in the Evil Ridge Sect, it was impossible for the Taoist Sect not to have any.
During this special time, the Daoist Sect Leader could not afford to disturb the seniors' secluded cultivation and truthfully reported on the current situation in the Cultivation World. Thus began a true chaos in the Cultivation World, with high-level forces from both Righteous and Evil Paths locked in a stalemate while ordinary disciples from both sides were at odds with each other.
No matter when it was, whenever people from either side saw each other, their first reaction was to rush forward and fight!
Ling Mo Xie was aware of the current situation but had more important matters to attend to. The next day, he followed Zhou Xinyi to Azure Cloud Valley.
As legend had it, the Entrance to Azure Cloud Valley was a moving tree. Ling Mo Xie witnessed firsthand how that tree moved toward them at Zhou Xinyi's summons until it quickly reached them.
Zhou Xinyi stood under the tree with Ling Mo Xie when suddenly she felt her body sink, as if the ground beneath her feet had vanished.
Seeing Zhou Xinyi's calm demeanor, Ling Mo Xie felt a bit of the panic in his heart dissipate.
Soon, the scenery before them changed, and they found themselves in a vast white space. The whiteness filled the entire area, resembling milky mist or perhaps liquid, creating a strange sensation.
Zhou Xinyi explained to the puzzled Ling Mo Xie, "Azure Cloud Valley is a special existence situated between the Cultivation World and the Immortal Realm. To enter, one must cleanse the dust of the Cultivation World from their body; otherwise, it will corrode away. This space serves that cleansing purpose."
Ling Mo Xie nodded. At this moment, their bodies involuntarily began to ascend into the milky white space. He noticed circular walls around them and wondered if they were inside a tree trunk.
Before long, Ling Mo Xie felt dizzy and covered his forehead while squinting his eyes. When he opened them again, he found himself in a place that resembled a fairyland.
It was a vast sea of flowers, with blossoms of various colors competing for beauty. Colorful butterflies danced among the flowers, illuminated by the soft sunset, creating a dreamlike atmosphere.
"This place is..." Ling Mo Xie couldn't help but immerse himself in it, murmuring.
Zhou Xinyi smiled proudly and said, "How is it? Beautiful, right? This is Azure Cloud Valley. Although it's called Azure Cloud Valley outside, we are in a self-contained realm here. Not only do we have flower seas, but also high mountains, grasslands, seas, and lakes!"
Ling Mo Xie nodded. It seemed he had been quite ignorant; in his mind, Azure Cloud Valley should be located in a valley since it was called a valley. Who would have thought it was actually the name of a small world?
"Our place is much more beautiful than the real Immortal Realm. You'll understand once you go there. The current Immortal Realm isn't very beautiful due to the ongoing wars. Even the lords of various cities are anxious, fearing they might not see tomorrow's sun."
Zhou Xinyi sighed again. Ling Mo Xie remained silent for a moment and said, "Since I have obtained the legacy left by the Celestial Master, I have a responsibility to end all of this."
Hearing Ling Mo Xie's words, Zhou Xinyi turned to look at him with determination on his face. She then smiled and said, "Alright, follow me. Master has probably been waiting anxiously; after all, the situation in the Immortal Realm is quite grim."
Ling Mo Xie nodded, not saying much more, and followed Zhou Xinyi as they flew towards the sea of flowers.
Flying over the sea of flowers, they could see the towering peaks in the distance. The mountains looked far away, but both were Cultivators, and in high-speed flight, they quickly arrived near the foot of the peaks, clearly seeing the leaves of the trees on the mountains swaying in the wind.
"The Azure Cloud Valley Gate is right above the main peak. Follow me!" Zhou Xinyi paused in front of the mountain and said to Ling Mo Xie.
Ling Mo Xie nodded, secretly marveling that the Azure Cloud Valley truly lived up to its legendary reputation. As they approached the mountain gate, a refreshing aura rushed towards them. With just a breath, he felt his internal Spiritual Energy swell, as if his cultivation had improved by a notch. If one were to cultivate in such a place, it seemed that their progress would be quite rapid.
Zhou Xinyi also sensed Ling Mo Xie's feelings and explained, "The Azure Cloud Valley is a special existence between the Cultivation World and the Immortal Realm. I believe I mentioned this before? The Azure Cloud Valley Gate is where it connects to the Immortal Realm. Continuous streams of immortal energy flow here. Although it seems extremely thin compared to the true Immortal Realm, it is much better than the Spiritual Energy in the Cultivation World, containing more energy."
Ling Mo Xie nodded again, feeling that this was what a true Hidden Sect should be like. Compared to Azure Cloud Valley, Nan Jianjun's Sect seemed rather insignificant.
Following Zhou Xinyi past the protective formation of Azure Cloud Valley, they arrived at the mountain gate. In front of the gate stood a massive jade-colored stone engraved with the three large characters "Azure Cloud Valley." The strokes were sharp and intimidating, making it hard for one to look directly at it; it seemed that those characters contained endless might that pressed down on people, making it hard to breathe.
"That was personally written by our Master Ancestor to suppress any ill-intentioned beings at the mountain gate. It is said that beneath that giant stone lies a calamity beast that even our Master Ancestor could not subdue or kill with fire, which is why it had to be sealed."
Zhou Xinyi explained to Ling Mo Xie as she led him into the mountain gate.
What surprised Ling Mo Xie was that this legendary Azure Cloud Valley had no disciples guarding the gate at all.
Zhou Xinyi clearly sensed Ling Mo Xie's confusion and awkwardly explained, "Azure Cloud Valley has very high requirements for accepting disciples. Not only must one have exceptional talent, but they must also have a righteous heart. Whether from the Righteous Path or Evil Path, one must possess compassion to have any chance of being accepted."
"There are those with extraordinary talent and those with righteous hearts, but very few possess both. And even fewer are discovered by the disciples of Azure Cloud Valley... so..."
Ling Mo Xie nodded, "So there aren't actually many people in Azure Cloud Valley?"
"Mm!" Zhou Xinyi nodded and said, "Actually, I heard from Master that during the peak period of Azure Cloud Valley, there were over ten thousand disciples. It's just that the number has decreased with each generation. Fortunately, we still have connections with the Immortal Realm, so we haven't truly fallen into decline."
As they talked, Ling Mo Xie followed Zhou Xinyi to a wide Square, and ahead was a majestic palace, seemingly the main hall of Azure Cloud Valley.
The entire palace appeared very imposing, giving off a sense of suppressing the world. However, its emptiness also highlighted the current desolation of Azure Cloud Valley. As Zhou Xinyi mentioned, if Azure Cloud Valley had over ten thousand disciples during its peak, this place should have been bustling with voices.
On the Square in front of the hall, there were still two or three people dressed in similar Sect attire, either sparring or chatting. Each of them looked relaxed and carefree, exuding an air of elegance.
Seeing Zhou Xinyi bring Ling Mo Xie over, the two or three people gathered around and greeted Zhou Xinyi, saying, "Junior Sister, you’re back? This is..."
"Yes, I'm going to take him to see Master now, so I won't chat with you Senior Brothers for long," Zhou Xinyi nodded and led Ling Mo Xie into the main hall.
"Master! Master! I'm back! Come out quickly!" To Ling Mo Xie's surprise, it seemed that there weren't as many rules in Azure Cloud Valley as in those Grand Sects of the Cultivation World. Zhou Xinyi didn't call anyone to announce their arrival; she simply bounced into the hall without any reservations.
Soon, a hoarse voice responded from within the spacious hall, but there was no reprimand: "Ah? Xiao Yi is back? Did you bring the person you were looking for? The Demon Realm has already mobilized its forces. If this continues, it won't be long before the Immortal Realm ceases to exist. Our Azure Cloud Valley and this Cultivation World may also be finished."
"Hehe, Master, don't worry! Who am I? Of course I brought him back! The Immortal Realm will be fine!" Zhou Xinyi said with a proud smile.
Ling Mo Xie watched as an old man with white hair and beard emerged from behind the throne in the hall. Despite expressing concern, he had a face full of vitality and seemed to be in good spirits.
