I Built A Family Of Immortal Cultivators

Chapter 423: Flying Ants in the Valley

Once again, Lin Qing arrived at the tea shop where Sun Fellow Daoist had been waiting. In Lin Qing's divine sense, there were several other Gold Core cultivators around.

"Fellow Daoist, what do you think?" Sun Fellow Daoist smiled and asked.

Lin Qing nodded, "I am willing to participate, but before we enter, Fellow Daoist needs to inform me of all the details without any concealment."

"Hahaha, of course. But before that, let me introduce the companions for this journey to Fellow Daoist," Sun Fellow Daoist said.

At this moment, Sun Fellow Daoist brought out the other Gold Core cultivators and introduced them to Lin Qing one by one. These Gold Core cultivators were all in the later stage of Gold Core, and Lin Qing recognized each of them.

However, when Lin Qing met these Gold Core cultivators, he couldn't help but think of the several consummate Gold Core cultivators from the Cangshan Sect on the Tongling Mountain. These Gold Core cultivators were indeed powerful, but compared to the Cangshan Sect cultivators from back then, there was still a considerable gap. This made Lin Qing feel more relaxed. Even if these people joined forces, he would have no problem escaping.

After Lin Qing got to know everyone, Sun Fellow Daoist explained the specific situation to Lin Qing.

He talked about how he discovered the cave mansion, the approximate location of the cave mansion, and the preparations they made to break the restrictions in the cave mansion. Lin Qing listened attentively and occasionally asked questions, to which Sun Fellow Daoist patiently explained.

"Alright, shall we set off in a few days?"

After an hour passed, Lin Qing had no more doubts and said so. He was pleased to learn that the location of the cave mansion was not in those specific areas, which increased the safety.

"Fellow Daoist, time is of the essence. In fact, I have already made preparations, but we were short on manpower. Now that Fellow Daoist has come, shall we depart tomorrow?" Sun Fellow Daoist couldn't wait.

"Tomorrow? Alright."

Lin Qing nodded. Although it was a bit rushed, he understood that such matters should not be delayed.

After Lin Qing agreed, the six Gold Core cultivators chatted happily for a while. At this time, they also discussed their cultivation, and Lin Qing learned about some treasures in the Central State that could help break through Nascent Soul stage from their mouths, which was quite rewarding.

On the second day, along with Lin Qing, the six Gold Core cultivators left Donglai Market and flew towards the Luoshen Valley.

The Luoshen Valley was located in the Guchuan County and occupied one-sixth of the entire county, making it quite large. If compared to Yunzhou, the Luoshen Valley would be equivalent to the size of a Dali Kingdom.

However, it is worth mentioning that although this valley was the place where many Soul Formation cultivators fell in the past, the number of treasures discovered inside has been decreasing over the years. Therefore, the valley is not as attractive as before. Compared to a few thousand years ago when Nascent Soul cultivators could be encountered from time to time, the chance of encountering a Nascent Soul cultivator now is extremely low, which is a good thing for Lin Qing and his group.

All six of them were in the later stage of Gold Core or above, so they traveled at a fast pace. After half a day, they arrived at the entrance of the Luoshen Valley.

Looking ahead, Lin Qing saw a completely different world. Not only were there few plants on the ground, but the sky also appeared dim. It was clearly noon, but there was no sunlight at all, and it was difficult to see how far ahead.

"Is this the Fallen God Valley? It is said that ancient cultivators had a great battle here, and the Soul Formation cultivators exerted their full strength, causing even the heavens and earth to change color." A Gold Core cultivator named Zhang Fellow Daoist looked ahead and exclaimed.

"We should enter quickly. There are many places in the Fallen God Valley where flying is prohibited. It will take us at least three days to reach the cave." Sun Fellow Daoist didn't want to stay outside the valley any longer and said so.

Lin Qing and the others had no objections and followed Sun Fellow Daoist into the valley.

As they entered the valley, Sun Fellow Daoist reminded them, "Fellow Daoists, although there aren't many large-scale demonic beasts in this valley, it is particularly suitable for beetle-like demonic beasts. Although these beasts are not individually strong, they usually appear in groups. Even Nascent Soul cultivators would have some trouble dealing with them. If we encounter them, we must avoid them promptly."

Upon hearing this, Lin Qing silently nodded. He had also learned about this when researching information about the Fallen God Valley. However, Sun Fellow Daoist's proactive reminder made him happy.

"Oh, Sun Fellow Daoist, I heard a rumor that when many Soul Formation cultivators fell in the past, their treasures were buried with them, but many of their spirit beasts survived and are said to be lurking in certain places in the valley." Zhang Fellow Daoist said again.

As soon as Zhang Fellow Daoist finished speaking, Sun Fellow Daoist reacted as if he had stepped on a nail. "Fellow Daoist, please don't say that. Be careful what you say, as it may come true. I am also aware of this matter. If we encounter those spirit beasts, there is no way we can escape. But I believe we won't be so unlucky on this trip. Fellow Daoist, please say less about it."

"Haha." Zhang Fellow Daoist yawned and didn't say anything more.

Indeed, for some cultivators, they were extremely cautious about their words. Whether a prophecy would come true was unpredictable.

Among mortals, such things were not uncommon, and even the cultivators who embarked on the path of cultivation occasionally encountered them. However, even they couldn't explain it.

Perhaps these were some of the mysterious rules in the world.

After Zhang Fellow Daoist finished speaking, Sun Fellow Daoist muttered some words in his mouth. Lin Qing listened to a few sentences, all of which were about a safe journey.

This made Lin Qing feel more at ease with Sun Fellow Daoist.

After a day and night of entering the Fallen God Valley, Lin Qing and the others did not encounter any danger, and they were all delighted. Although the journey was not easy, no one wanted to encounter a difficult situation as soon as they entered.

When the group took a temporary rest, Sun Fellow Daoist let out a sigh. "It seems that entering in a timely manner was the right choice. I accidentally found this route a year ago, and it is indeed extremely safe."

Speaking of a year ago, some cultivators became curious about why Sun Fellow Daoist had hidden in the Fallen God Valley. However, Sun Fellow Daoist remained silent on this matter, and no one forced him to answer.

After resting for half an hour, the group entered again, but this time their good luck seemed to have run out.

Just after an hour of travel, they encountered a group of flying ants blocking their way. All six Gold Core cultivators sensed this with their divine senses. Although the flying ants were not strong individually, their numbers were extremely large, almost reaching a million.

"Sun Fellow Daoist, why are there so many flying ants ahead? These ants seem difficult to deal with. Shouldn't we take a detour?" A Gold Core cultivator hesitated and said.

Sun Fellow Daoist was puzzled and said, "I don't know either. When I passed through here a year ago, I always released my divine sense, but I never detected any flying ants. If they formed in the past year, this scale is too large. But if we take a detour, I can't guarantee safety in other areas. There might be even more dangers."

After Sun Fellow Daoist finished speaking, Lin Qing and the others began to ponder.
