I have changed my destiny and become an unparalleled immortal.

Gu Yun is practicing swordsmanship like crazy.

Meanwhile, with the help of elixirs, the five female cultivators from the Cold Moon Palace finally stabilized their injuries and regained their mobility.

A junior female student walked up to Mo Qianyan and said.

"Senior sister, the suppression of the Forbidden Spirit Abyss seems to be weakening. The secret realm should already be more than half open."

Mo Qianyan nodded, then used the array to observe the gradually fading gray fog outside.

It's time to set off.

Leaving this Forbidden Spirit Abyss, the inner perimeter of Fallen Star Valley lies ahead. Judging by the timeline, the Lunar Lotus should be ready to manifest itself.

She turned her head and saw Gu Yun; her eyes held a somewhat complicated expression.

Within the Forbidden Spirit Abyss, no one is able to use spiritual power.

Gu Yun was indeed able to act recklessly by using his physical body.

However, once they enter the inner area, the suppression of spiritual energy disappears, and the top geniuses on the Hidden Dragon Ranking reveal all their trump cards.

Gu Yun is a body cultivator without spiritual power, making him a likely target for everyone's attacks.

The area we've reached is now the inner perimeter. At this point, the spiritual energy begins to show signs of recovery, but the dangers we face will increase approximately tenfold.

Mo Qianyan walked up to Gu Yun, her tone still icy.

She said to Gu Yun, "When we get to the inner perimeter, you... stick close to me. If we encounter any formidable enemies, we can help each other."

Gu Yun was suddenly stunned. Looking at Mo Qianyan's serious expression, he felt a warmth in his heart.

He grinned, revealing his white teeth, and said, "Is the fairy going to protect me? Fine, I, Gu Yun, will be a kept man today!"

Mo Qianyan glanced at him but did not refute him.

Half a day later.

The group finally emerged from the gloomy, forbidden abyss.

They had just crossed the boundary between the two mountains when, in an instant, an extremely dense spiritual energy from heaven and earth rushed towards them.

"My spiritual power has been restored!"

The five female cultivators from the Cold Moon Palace cheered.

Their previously dull robes immediately shone with brilliant spiritual light, and their previous listlessness completely disappeared.

Leading the way was Mo Qianyan, whose transformation was extremely noticeable.

boom!

Suddenly, a terrifying spiritual power at the half-step Golden Core level erupted from her body.

The vegetation within a radius of several dozen feet was immediately covered with a layer of frost.

The air temperature also dropped to freezing point in an instant.

The snow-jade sword continued to emit a clear, melodious dragon's roar, swirling around her as if a true ice and snow deity had descended to earth.

This is the fifth-ranked figure on the Hidden Dragon List.

"Let's go!"

Once Mo Qianyan's spiritual power was fully restored, her confidence became very high.

The inner perimeter of Falling Star Valley is rich in spiritual energy. At the deepest part of the valley, there is a deep pool, quietly surrounded by mountains.

This pool is very deep; you can't see the bottom at all.

The pool water had an eerie dark blue color, and the surface was completely still.

In the very center of the pool, there is a lotus flower.

The lotus flower emitted a faint silvery glow and floated magically on the water's surface, seemingly without roots.

"The Lunar Lotus!"

A very fragrant aroma gradually filled the valley.

The lotus petals opened slowly, one after another, as the spiritual energy flowed in and out, and it seemed to have reached the final stage of ripeness!

At this moment, the area around the pool was filled with people, and their positions were arranged in a staggered and orderly manner.

Those who were able to cross the outer Forbidden Spirit Abyss to reach this place were all top elites from the major sects and families of the Cangbei Spirit Domain.

Most of the prodigies on the Hidden Dragon Ranking have arrived, each occupying a favorable position.

Strangely enough, no one took the first step in the face of such a unique and precious item.

Everyone stared intently at the center of the pool, wary of each other, as if watching a play.

After all, the nail that sticks out gets hammered down; only a fool would stand out at this time.

Everyone was practically ready to bring out a small stool and hold a slice of watermelon, just waiting for the show to begin.

Whoosh!

Outside the valley, a sword light flashed, cutting through the air as it flew towards them.

Mo Qianyan was dressed in white, just like snow.

Gu Yun shamelessly put his arm around Mo Qianyan's waist and stood on the sword.

With a muffled "boom," the ground began to tremble violently.

A man with dark bronze muscles, a head of wildly flying silver hair, and a burly build.

It crashed heavily to the ground.

He carried a broad and heavy greatsword on his back.

With each step he took, the rocks beneath his feet would crumble and creak under his weight.

It was Gu Yun.

Mo Qianyan landed lightly beside the pool, like a fairy descending to earth.

When the two people appeared before them, a murmur of discussion immediately arose in the previously quiet valley.

"Damn, flowers and cow dung."

"Is that Mo Qianyan from the Cold Moon Palace? The fifth in the Hidden Dragon Sect?"

"Wait, who's that wild man next to her? Why isn't there any spiritual energy emanating from him?"

"A mere mortal who can't even reach the first level of Qi Refining? How did he manage to make it to the inner perimeter alive? When did Fairy Mo develop such a peculiar hobby?"

The surrounding cultivators looked at Gu Yun with disdain and contempt in their eyes.

In the inner perimeter of Falling Star Valley, where spiritual energy was unsealed, Gu Yun was a body cultivator without magical power. In the eyes of many cultivators, Gu Yun was like a clumsy wild beast waiting to be slaughtered.

Just then, three powerful and oppressive auras emerged from the crowd, forming a triangular shape that completely blocked Mo Qianyan and Gu Yun's path.

Yan Nanfei, the eldest son of the Yan family, held a folding fan in his hand and wore a fake smile.

Xiao Changfeng of Wanjian Manor had murderous intent in his eyes, and the swift sword energy around him sliced ​​through the air.

In addition, there is Ji Wushuang, the Holy Maiden of the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect, who is dressed in a purple-black gauze dress and has a very alluring figure.

Yan Nanfei looked at Mo Qianyan and said, "Fairy Qianyan, it's been a long time. In the Forbidden Spirit Abyss, you had some misunderstandings about my Yan family. If you agree to become my Daoist partner and return to the Yan family of Beiyuan with me, then the Taiyin Nether Lotus... I, Yan Nanfei, will do everything in my power to obtain it for you."

Mo Qianyan glanced at her coldly but did not answer.

Xiao Changfeng sneered, staring intently at Gu Yun, and said through gritted teeth, "That guy was incredibly foul-mouthed that day, making me lose face. Now that the Forbidden Spirit Abyss is no longer protecting me, I'd like to see what you, old dog, can use to withstand my Gale Sword!"

Xiao Changfeng and Yan Nanfei exchanged glances; they had secretly reached a deal.

If victory is achieved, everyone can obtain the Taiyin Lotus through their own means.

However, Mo Qianyan is an icy beauty at the half-step Golden Core realm, and should belong to Yan Nanfei so that he can enjoy her at will.

Gu Yun should be handed over to Xiao Changfeng so that he can be subjected to the torture of being cut into a thousand pieces to eliminate the resentment in his heart.

Those two people kept shouting about ants and mortals.

Many cultivators watching the scene from the sidelines shook their heads and sneered, looking at Gu Yun as if he were a dead man.

However, of the three, only Ji Wushuang did not show a smile.

Ji Wushuang's fox-like eyes have an attractive quality.

At this moment, there was no trace of contempt in her eyes; on the contrary, they were full of apprehension.

She stared intently at Gu Yun's dark bronze skin and the unusually heavy-looking black sword behind him.

The scene in the Forbidden Spirit Abyss involuntarily surfaced in her mind: the brute who treated her poison gas like food and withstood her eerie green poison sword—a truly terrifying sight.

"You two, shut up."

Ji Wushuang suddenly spoke coldly, interrupting Yan Nanfei and Xiao Changfeng's arrogant remarks.

Xiao Changfeng frowned and asked Wushuang, "What exactly do you mean? This guy has no spiritual power; he's just a useless person. I could cleave him in two with a single sword strike..."

Ji Wushuang licked her red lips. Then, pointing at Mo Qianyan and Gu Yun, she made a decision that surprised everyone present.

"Be careful not to capsize unexpectedly. You two, go and deal with Mo Qianyan."

"...I'll deal with him."

These words caused an uproar in the room.

Everyone watching was stunned.

The Holy Maiden of the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect, ranked fourth on the Hidden Dragon List, gave up the opportunity to fight Mo Qianyan and took the initiative to deal with an ordinary person who had no spiritual energy fluctuations.

Is this using a sledgehammer to crack a nut?

Or is there some special fetish that cannot be seen by others?

Xiao Changfeng and Yan Nanfei were taken aback at first, but Mo Qianyan was indeed a half-step Golden Core cultivator, and her strength was quite strong.

If the two of them team up, they are absolutely certain of victory.

"Since Saintess Ji is interested in that ant-like person, then let's do as you say."

Yan Nanfei closed his folding fan, and his Foundation Establishment stage spiritual power erupted instantly. Together with Xiao Changfeng, they blocked all of Mo Qianyan's escape routes.

Mo Qianyan's eyebrows furrowed.

The snow-jade sword in her hand emitted a clear phoenix cry.

Extremely cold spiritual energy was frantically gathering at the tip of the sword.

She turned her head and glanced at Gu Yun behind her.

With a hint of concern, he said, "That demoness's poison is very difficult to guard against. Now that her spiritual power has been unsealed, that demoness definitely has even more vicious trump cards. You... need to be careful."

Upon hearing these words, Gu Yun's lips curled up slightly.

"You can keep an eye on things yourself, Fairy. Today I'll settle all the old and new accounts together!"

After speaking, Gu Yun slowly reached out and grasped the hilt of the black sword.

Clang!

The moment it was pulled out, the spiritual energy in the surrounding air momentarily stagnated.

Gu Yun slung the black sword over his shoulder, his long, silver-gray hair whipping wildly in the wind, his blood surging within him like a volcano about to erupt.

He stared at Ji Wushuang, who was standing ready in the distance, and a fighting spirit ignited in his eyes.

Gu Yun took a step forward, his arrogant laughter echoing through Falling Star Valley, "Today, I'll use you as a weapon!"

boom!

As soon as Gu Yun finished speaking, the hard rock beneath his feet immediately cracked like a spider web.

He transformed into a dark bronze bolt of lightning, without any fancy moves or spiritual energy supporting him. He relied entirely on the explosive force generated by compressing his physical body to the extreme to break the sound barrier.

A white shockwave, visible to the naked eye, exploded out from the spot, accompanied by a violent gale that forced many onlookers to take several steps back.

"What the hell is that speed?!"

Many cultivators who had been looking disdainful suddenly stopped smiling, and their pupils contracted sharply.

Such speed is completely beyond the capabilities of ordinary people.

Ji Wushuang's hair stood on end. Having personally witnessed the brute's body, which was like that of an ancient ferocious beast, and with her spiritual power unsealed, she dared not be careless in the slightest.

"Heavenly Poisonous Dharma Form, Ten Thousand Serpents Devouring Spirit!"
