Chapter 881: Chapter 464: Unexpected Gain

After putting away the Painting Realm Treasure Mansion, Li Mu released the Earth Element Spirit Ship, speeding along the way.

Having extracted a Top-Grade Spirit Vein and gathered an enormous amount of High-Tier Spiritual Materials, the Painting Realm Treasure Mansion could be sustained for a while. Though Li Mu intended to return immediately to the Central State Spirit Realm, Sword Master Feng and the others were preparing to attack the Sealed Land and still needed his support for the Array Formation.

The matter of returning to the Central State Spirit Realm was temporarily set aside, and Li Mu navigated the Earth Element Spirit Ship, ready to return to the Desolate Ancient City.

The sky was a wash of deep blue, with white clouds drifting gently across it. Sunlight filtered through the clouds, bathing the earth in golden hues. The undulating mountains stretched endlessly, with lush trees and dense vegetation forming a magnificent landscape.

On the deck of the Earth Element Spirit Ship, Li Mu summoned Xue’Er to enjoy the scenic views along the journey together.

"Brother Li, is it far from here to Yin Yang Valley?" Xue’Er asked, gazing at the scenery that felt both familiar and strange, her emotions stirred by the view.

The time spent in Yin Yang Valley was the most unforgettable era for Xue’Er in the South Wilderness Spirit Realm. Now, returning to the South Wilderness Spirit Realm, nostalgia surged within her heart.

Hearing this, Li Mu smiled gently and suggested, "It’s not far. Yin Yang Valley is near the Desolate Ancient City. Shall we stay there for a while?"

"Okay!" Xue’Er nodded lightly, a smile spread across her face.

Li Mu maneuvered the Earth Element Spirit Ship, changing course to speed towards Yin Yang Valley.

Soon, the breathtaking scenery of Yin Yang Valley unfolded before their eyes.

As far as the eye could see, the mountains rolled in an orderly fashion, their peaks not reaching into the clouds but sculpted meticulously by time, ancient and mysterious. Sparse vegetation dotting in between enhanced the sense of loneliness and depth.

In the core of these sprawling mountain ranges, a vast chasm appeared suddenly, resembling a rift in the earth, unfathomably deep. Inside the grand valley, gray and red auras swirled together, spreading like phantoms, giving off an overwhelming sense of oppression. As they approached Yin Yang Valley, the surrounding vegetation grew scant until barely a complete forest could be seen, let alone signs of life.

The hilltops around were barren, as if stripped of greenery, desolate and stark, with riverbeds dried up, broken streams visible everywhere; this land seemed like a place of deathly stillness, devoid of vitality.

The sky was shrouded in dense clouds, obscuring the sun, moon, and stars, leaving the entire Linggu in a cloak of darkness and heaviness.

Li Mu piloted the Earth Element Spirit Ship, hovering a thousand feet above, overlooking the strange and grand landscape of the Yin Yang Spirit Valley, feeling the peculiar energy fluctuations in the air.

This Yin Yang Spirit Valley remained in its ancient form, with vibrations of Spiritual Qi containing seemingly infinite vitality and desolation, Yin and Yang intertwined, mutually dependent, and restricting, giving a sense of mystery and danger.

Visiting the old place again, Li Mu’s heart realm also fluctuated.

Yin Yang Valley remained cloaked in mystery as if hiding some unknown secret.

"Brother Li, look at the scenery outside; it’s all gray. What’s there to see? Let’s enter Yin Yang Valley quickly!" Xue’Er pointed to the eerie landscape below enshrouded by gray and red energies, eager to return to Yin Yang Valley and the days of yore, urging Li Mu.

Li Mu smiled faintly, a hint of profound thought in his eyes: "Yes, Xue’Er, I am also of the same mind. However, I am curious about the origins of this Yin Yang Valley, what kind of force has created such a unique world?"

Having said that, Li Mu activated the Star Nebula Visualization Method, blocking off his Sea of Consciousness, guiding the Earth Element Spirit Ship to descend slowly, passing through the mystic barrier of gray and red energies, directly entering the interior of Yin Yang Valley.

Upon entering the valley, the scene before their eyes immediately refreshed.

Unlike the gloom and desolation outside, the inside of Yin Yang Valley was vibrant, with Spiritual Power and Yin Yang Qi interwoven into magnificent tapestries. Flowers, grass, trees all appeared exceptionally lush, with this land holding boundless life force. Looking around, within the Spirit Valley, grotesque rocks shaped diversely, as if nature had meticulously crafted art pieces.

"Wow, so beautiful!" Xue’Er marveled, her excitement uncontainable: "Brother Li, our cultivated Spirit Field still has so many Purple Sun Reishi and Yin Soul Fruit!"

The two Spirit Fields Xue’Er pointed out, featuring Purple Sun Reishi and Yin Soul Fruit, were thriving remarkably well. The leaves of the Purple Sun Reishi displayed a vibrant purplish-red, glimmering enchantingly under the sunlight, as if brushed with a thin layer of gold dust. Each Purple Sun Reishi emitted a subtle fragrance, fresh and unique, refreshing the heart and mind.

Clusters of Yin Soul Fruit hung with pitch-black fruits, presenting a profound black appearance, shrouded by a layer of gray mist obscuring their true form. However, upon closer inspection, one would find the fruits’ surface flickered with faint Spirit Light, like numerous tiny stars twinkling. The branches and leaves of the Yin Soul Fruit were lush and densely packed, forming dense shadows.

"They are seeds we casually scattered before leaving, it’s unexpected they’ve grown so well!" A trace of exceptional emotion flashed in Li Mu’s eyes, and he waved his hand to cast a Golden Blade Skill, cutting down several Purple Sun Reishi.

Soon, a look of disappointment appeared on Li Mu’s face; the cut Purple Sun Reishi didn’t show any Plant Spirit Light Group at the cut.

Indeed, after tossing down the seeds of those two Spirit Plants, no time or energy was spent to care for them and assist their growth, so they weren’t acknowledged by the panel.
