Chapter 1194 1154: Departure, Outside Falling God Valley

Chen Fei's conversation with Yuyangzi of the Zhengqing Sect came to an end, and then he led Yin Lie and others to the Zhengqing Sect's sect location. However, all this was done in secrecy, with very few people knowing about it, even within the Zhengqing Sect itself.

In the blink of an eye, two days passed, and on an unnamed ancient cliff in the mysterious area behind the Zhengqing Sect, Chen Fei was sitting cross-legged there, surrounded by dazzling spiritual light pervading the air. Formation patterns interwove like butterflies, shining with brilliance, echoing each other.

"Seal!"

Just at that moment, he suddenly shouted fiercely, and a massive formation instantly appeared rapidly in the void. Purple fire, wind and thunder, and sword qi pervaded within, intertwining with a terrifying momentum that even made the cliff tremble. The lands affected by the fluctuation seemed as if they could fracture at any moment.

Rustle!

But such astonishing fluctuations lasted less than a moment before they instead entirely calmed down.

All disturbances, all violent energy fluctuations, were suppressed by a powerful aura, unable to advance an inch.

Thus, in the entire sky, the formation patterns, intense fluctuations, and power became locked in place, with no sound of fierce fighting, only the sound of the fierce wind blowing, loudly humming and ear-piercing.

Bang!

The next second, a terrifying fluctuation broke out from the formation, instantly shaking the skies, incomparably intense. The layers of intense formation power all shattered under this terrifying fluctuation.

Whoosh, a figure appeared.

This figure was none other than the ancestor of the War Soul Palace, possessing strength surpassing the ordinary True Person Realm Fifth Layer—Yin Lie, the new protector of their Enlightened Deity Mansion.

Seeing this, Chen Fei shook his head and said with a helpless smile, "It seems it's still not enough, a little lacking."

"Lord Mansion Master, your formation is already very formidable. If it weren't for my breakthrough in that battle earlier, whether I could have broken through your formation so easily would still be unknown." Yin Lie gracefully landed in front of Chen Fei, with a face full of admiration.

Previously, he did not know that Chen Fei was also an Array Master, and in these few days while Chen Fei refined and stimulated his array master's cultivation realm, he became more profoundly aware of how terrifying Chen Fei's talent was!

If an ordinary person could achieve where he has in any one of the paths of Array Mastery, cultivation, alchemy, or sword technique at his age, frankly speaking, it would already be incredibly against the heavens! But now?

But now, Chen Fei's pill realm is beyond words; Yin Lie even suspects him—Chen Fei—of having reached the legendary King Level Alchemist realm... such an astonishing feat!

And that sword dao realm, Flawless Sword Intent... Yin Lie is no frog in a well without knowledge. Flawless Sword Intent is something even an ordinary Sword Cultivator of True Monarch Realm might not possess, but Chen Fei does?

And then there is his cultivation realm. Yin Lie could see that Chen Fei's cultivation realm certainly hasn't reached the True Person Realm Fifth Layer, possibly not even the Fourth Heavenly Layer? That remains unknown, but even so, the previous sparring made it entirely clear to Yin Lie!

Even disregarding the terrifying alchemical ability and the speechless Flawless Sword Intent, Chen Fei's strength still rivals a True Person Realm Fifth Layer! Not to mention the array master realm Chen Fei currently displays...

Peak of Eighth Layer Human Level Formation Master!

Otherwise, with Yin Lie's strength, he wouldn't have needed to expend so much effort to break through.

Thinking of this, Yin Lie's respect for Chen Fei deepened.

Because he knows well that such people are monsters, and it might not be long before he finds himself eating dust behind them.

Yet, that day when Chen Fei promised him a True Monarch position, now that he thinks about it, it didn't seem like he was joking...

"Ah, Protector Yin is flattering me, still a little lacking..." Instead, Chen Fei wasn't satisfied, shaking his head and saying lightly: "If I could break through the Eighth Layer Human Formation to reach the Ninth Layer, we would be much more assured in this expedition, just a pity..."

"Haste makes waste. Perhaps any moment now, Lord Mansion Master, you will have a sudden stroke of insight, a moment of enlightenment? Anyway, now it seems you are just one door away, it's not far." Yin Lie laughed, glancing towards the figure on the distant mountain.

"Lord Mansion Master, they're here." He said softly.

"Hmm." Chen Fei nodded, expressing nothing, merely quietly contemplating. From the previous battle, he thought of a few more points for improvement and further depth...

In the distance, on a small unnamed mountain, Yuyangzi in a blue robe stood shoulder to shoulder with a cultivator at the Peak of Fourth Heavenly Layer of True Person Realm.

That cultivator at the Peak of Fourth Heavenly Layer wore a gray long robe, appeared to be in his sixties, with an appearance that seemed rather ordinary, but the sharpness filling his eyes made no one dare to underestimate him.

This person was none other than the current Sect Master of the Zhengqing Sect! And also the second strongest in the Zhengqing Sect now.

However, at this moment, his eyes gazing at Chen Fei's back were full of puzzlement and shock, never settling.

"Master Uncle, is he the Chen Fei you mentioned? Wasn't he supposed to be a Sword Cultivator? How... didn't that formation's formidable strength just now actually reach the Eighth Layer Human Formation?" He mumbled suspiciously, peculiarly.

"There's more..." Yuyangzi muttered with a strange expression, then with a swift movement, flew towards where Chen Fei and the others were.

The Sect Master of Zhengqing Sect was slightly startled, and immediately followed with a flash.

"Patriarch Chen, Protector Yin, forgive me for the intrusion." As soon as he landed, Yuyangzi politely raised his hand.

"Dao Brother Yuyangzi, you're too polite. And who might this be?" Chen Fei asked with a smile, looking at the person beside Yuyangzi.

"I am the current Sect Master of Zhengqing Sect, if you don't mind, just call me by name, Xuee Yushan."

The Sect Master of Zhengqing Sect quickly said.

Yin Lie glanced at Xuee Yushan, said nothing, just raised his hand lightly.

The other party was an entire realm lower than him, so there was no need to be too courteous.

"Sect Master Xuee, nice to meet you." Chen Fei smiled slightly. Then he looked at Yuyangzi and asked, "What brings you two here?"

"Falling God Valley is about to open." Yuyangzi did not beat around the bush, his face stern as he got straight to the point.

Chen Fei and Yin Lie's eyes suddenly sharpened. The former stood up, a hint of sharpness flashing in his eyes, asking, "When? When do we depart? Just us?"

"According to the news relayed by our spies positioned outside Falling God Valley, the restriction at the outer valley entrance has begun to loosen. By usual practice, at most in a day's time, the entrance door will open, so we must set off immediately."

Yuyangzi explained slowly, "Falling God Valley is filled with spatial rifts in the outer valley, and anyone without sufficient cultivation will die upon entering, so human wave tactics are not feasible. Generally, the 'Two Sects, Three Sects' each send out three or four individuals based on their respective strengths..."

"Then let's depart."

Chen Fei nodded and said.

"Alright, everyone, please follow me." Yuyangzi released a long flute, which grew like a gust of wind, becoming as large as a giant tree. Chen Fei and the others stepped onto it, and the flute soared into the sky, disappearing at the horizon.

...

On the western extreme of the Giant Spirit Secret Realm sits a small city named Wind Fall City, controlled by the Wind Thunder Sect. Beyond it, lies the end of floating islands in the secret realm. Further beyond is a region shrouded in chaos, filled with the powers of the Wind Thunder Sect's secret treasures and spatial rifts, exceedingly dangerous.

About a hundred to two hundred miles east of Wind Fall City, a basin nearly entirely covered by dim mist can be found. At its center lies a valley, known by the 'Two Sects, Three Sects' as the location of Falling God Valley.

Currently, as traces of the impending opening of Falling God Valley have been confirmed, certain members of the 'Two Sects, Three Sects' have already arrived.

Outside Falling God Valley, on a square field, either standing or sitting, there were two groups, four or five cultivators dressed in varied clothing.

On the left, a man and a woman both wore robes with white bone skull designs in dark tones. The man looked around fifty years old with an ordinary appearance, while the woman, dressed in court attire, though extremely voluptuous, appeared aged and waned in beauty, at least over sixty in appearance.

Although they maintained calm expressions, their eyes occasionally glanced with dread towards the other group not far away, betraying their inner unrest.

In the distance, upon a cliff, streams crisscrossed, demon qi surrounded, and on a huge rock sat three demon beasts, their auras terrifying. Each emitted a dreadful glow, and behind them, the lights seemed to condense into various images.

Upon closer inspection, two of the demon beasts were avians, one a terrestrial beast.

One resembled a wolf or leopard, another a green giant eagle with three heads, and the last, an ominous and pitch-black twin-headed crow, as dark as the night skies...

"Wei Qingshan, why do you keep staring at us?" At this point, the wolf-leopard-like beast suddenly curled its lips and said viciously to the man in the white bone robe.

"Hmph!" The man in the white bone robe snorted coldly, saying gruffly, "I'm just watching when the others will arrive."

"Is that so?" The three-headed green giant eagle sneered, saying lightly, "I heard your White Bone Sect was bullied before and had two of your Peak of Third Heavenly Layer of True Person Realm members crippled. What, no plans for revenge?"

"You…" The man in the white bone robe's face turned uglier, just about to retort when suddenly, a piercing sound cut through the air from afar.

"Hmm?" The twin-headed crow looked up to the sky, lazily and indifferently said, "It's Yuyangzi's Azure Light Flute."

"…No! Besides Yuyangzi, Xuee Yushan, why are there other people on the Azure Light Flute? They brought others?!" The other expert from the White Bone Sect, an old woman in a white bone robe, suddenly spoke coldly. Her expression was both icy and slightly grim.

Falling God Valley was the secret that the 'Two Sects, Three Sects' had vowed to safeguard together, yet now, someone had violated this oath!?
