The Emperor's Favorite: The Useless and Crazy Concubine Who Conquers the World

There were her childhood experiences in the world outside Lingxu Valley, and the hardships and setbacks she encountered during her cultivation. These images constantly disturbed her mind.

The fox spirit used its spiritual power to protect Lan Yunyan. It kept sniffing the surrounding air, trying to find the location of the spiritual source stone. Suddenly, the fox spirit ran in one direction, and Lan Yunyan followed closely behind.

Just as they approached a swampy area, a huge tentacle stretched out from the swamp and reached for the spirit fox. Lan Yunyan was quick-witted and swift-handed. The spiritual power in her hand transformed into a long sword and cut off the tentacle.

But more tentacles stretched out from all directions, and Lan Yunyan and Linghu were caught in a tough battle. Lan Yunyan used the "Lingxu Guardian Technique" group attack move, and her spiritual power turned into countless spiritual needles, shooting at the swamp tentacles.

After being pierced by the spiritual needles, the swamp tentacles retreated into the swamp. But not long after, they emerged again, and this time they merged together to form a huge swamp monster.

The swamp beast opened its bloody mouth and pounced towards Lan Yunyan and the spirit fox. Lan Yunyan temporarily placed the Spirit Source Stone on the spirit fox for safekeeping while she focused all her energy on the enemy.

She engaged in a fierce fight with the swamp monster in the air. The swamp monster's body was very hard, and Lan Yunyan's spiritual attack could only leave shallow marks on it.

Lan Yunyan realized that this was not a solution, so she decided to take a risk. She released all her soul power, resonating with the soul power of Lingxu Valley.

Instantly, the spiritual energy in Lingxu Valley continuously surged towards her. She gathered this spiritual energy in her hands, forming a huge spiritual energy ball.

Lan Yunyan shouted loudly and threw the spiritual power ball towards the swamp monster. The spiritual power ball and the swamp monster collided with each other, making an earth-shattering explosion.

The giant swamp beast was shattered by the powerful spiritual power and turned into countless mud spots that fell back into the swamp.

After the swamp monster was destroyed, Lan Yunyan and Linghu found an ancient stone box on a small island in the swamp.

Lan Yunyan opened the stone box, and inside was the second Spirit Source Stone. This Spirit Source Stone emitted a faint blue light, echoing with the surrounding spiritual power fluctuations.

Lan Yunyan picked up the Spirit Source Stone and placed it next to the emerald green Spirit Source Stone she had held earlier. She could feel a faint pull of spiritual energy between the two Spirit Source Stones. She knew she was one step closer to completing her mission.

Just as Lan Yunyan was about to leave the spiritual swamp, the spiritual power in the swamp suddenly became chaotic.

The previously calm swamp surface began to violently churn, forming massive whirlpools. Lan Yunyan realized that perhaps the removal of the Spirit Source Stone had once again awakened the swamp's protective power.

She and the fox spirit flew quickly towards the edge of the swamp, but a powerful suction force suddenly emerged from the vortex, pulling them towards the center of the vortex.

Lan Yunyan resisted the suction with all her might, fusing the spiritual power of the two spiritual source stones with her own to form a powerful spiritual shield. The shield continued to deform under the suction, but it still managed to hold on.

The fox spirit also released all of its spiritual power to help Lan Yunyan strengthen her shield. With their joint efforts, they finally broke free from the vortex's suction and escaped from the Spirit Swamp.

After leaving the Spiritual Swamp, Lan Yunyan returned to the depths of the Spiritual Void Valley to rest for a while and recover her depleted spiritual energy. During her rest, she communicated with the creatures in the Spiritual Void Valley to learn about the latest situation in the valley.

She discovered that since she began searching for the Spirit Source Stone, the distribution of spiritual power in Lingxu Valley had undergone some subtle changes. Some areas that originally had weaker spiritual power now had more abundant spiritual power, while some areas with abundant spiritual power had experienced unstable fluctuations in spiritual power.

Lan Yunyan realized that this might be because the spiritual power balance of Lingxu Valley was broken after the Lingyuan Stone was taken out. It was necessary to find the remaining Lingyuan Stones as soon as possible and embed them on the Lingyuan Platform to restore the balance.

Based on the spiritual guidance of Lingxu Valley and some clues she had obtained before, she speculated that the third Lingyuan Stone might be in the Lingyan Mountains on the south side of Lingxu Valley.

The Lingyan Mountains are the hottest place in Lingxu Valley, and the mountains are full of burning spiritual flames. These spiritual flames are not ordinary flames, they contain powerful spiritual power and can burn anything that comes close.

In addition, there are some fire-attributed spirit beasts living in the Lingyan Mountains. They are very wary of intruders and will actively attack.

Lan Yunyan and Linghu arrived at the foot of the Lingyan Mountains, where the blazing heat hit them. Lan Yunyan cast a spiritual shield to lower the temperature around them so they could enter the mountains.

They moved slowly along the mountain trail, carefully avoiding the burning spiritual flames along the way.

Suddenly, a fiery red spirit bird swooped down from the sky and spewed out a flame towards Lan Yunyan and the spirit fox.

Lan Yunyan quickly dodged sideways, and the spiritual power in her hand transformed into a spiritual net, covering the spiritual bird. The spiritual bird nimbly dodged the attack of the spiritual net in the air, while continuously spewing flames from its mouth.

The spirit fox also joined the battle, unleashing its fox fire, which collided with the spirit bird's flames. The flames intertwined in the air, forming a gorgeous sea of ​​fire.

Lan Yunyan took advantage of the fact that the spirit bird was restrained by the spirit fox and cast the spirit net again, this time successfully trapping the spirit bird.

Lan Yunyan communicated with the spirit bird through soul communication and learned that there was an ancient crater on the top of the Lingyan Mountains, and the third Lingyuan Stone was in the magma pool inside the crater.

But to reach the crater, one needs to pass through numerous spiritual flames and the territories of fire-attributed spirit beasts.

Lan Yunyan and Linghu continued to move towards the top of the mountain, encountering attacks from many fire-attributed spirit beasts along the way.

There are fire monkeys, fire rock snakes, etc. They are like fish in water in the Lingyan Mountains. They use the spiritual flames and their own fire abilities to constantly attack Lan Yunyan and the spirit fox.

Lan Yunyan and Linghu cooperated with each other. Lan Yunyan was responsible for resisting most of the attacks, while Linghu used its agility to find the enemy's flaws and deliver a fatal blow.

During the arduous climb, Lan Yunyan's spiritual energy was greatly consumed. She constantly drew spiritual energy from the Lingxu Valley to replenish the consumption, but the high temperature and fire attacks in the Lingyan Mountains still made her a little overwhelmed.
