Danger

Morning Glow Valley!

It is a well-known Holy Land in the Eastern Region.

The entire Sect's Legacy has stretched back through countless long years.

Each such Sect Holy Land can be considered an ancient history.

They have endured the vicissitudes of life, watching the changes in the Mortal World.

And witnessed the shifting of the sun and moon.

Let the tides rise and fall; I remain unshaken.

This is a Holy Land Sect!

A revered existence in the eyes of the world, looked up to by all.

A place where countless people would sharpen their heads to get into.

However, at this moment, the entire Morning Glow Valley was filled with a sense of sorrow and heaviness.

In the main hall, nearly half of Morning Glow Valley's high-ranking members were gathered.

Sect Master Peak Lord Lu Qingxia sat at the head of the table.

Below her were many Elders, each of whom was a formidable presence, renowned in their respective regions.

There were also Peak Revered Masters from various peaks and Sect Prodigies.

“Fellow Disciples, Third Old Ancestor is trapped in a Secret Realm and is in grave danger.”

“Do any of you have a method to rescue the Third Old Ancestor?”

As Peak Lord Lu Qingxia spoke, everyone below furrowed their brows in deep thought.

The Third Old Ancestor Peak Lord Lu Qingxia mentioned was named Zhong Changfeng, the younger brother of Morning Glow Valley's founding Old Ancestor.

He held a crucial position within the entire Holy Land.

Although he was old, his actions were lively.

He enjoyed traveling the world and exploring Secret Realms.

Not long ago, Zhong Changfeng sent a distress signal, stating that he was trapped in a deep abyss Secret Realm.

Upon receiving the news, Peak Lord Lu Qingxia dared not delay and personally led a rescue team.

However, at the entrance of that deep abyss Secret Realm, there was an Ancient Great Formation.

Despite their best efforts, they could not affect the Formation in the slightest.

This led to the current meeting.

“Sect Master, that Formation is quite peculiar!”

“This Old Man has studied it; this Ancient Great Formation needs to be destroyed with brute force.”

“And it must be destroyed in one go!”

“Otherwise, if the Formation is stimulated again, it will fully activate.”

“Once the killing Formation moves, it will automatically exterminate all living beings within the Formation.”

It was Six Elder who spoke.

A Revered Master who had been immersed in the Dao of Formations for many years.

His words, in a sense, represented authority.

These words sent a chill down everyone's spines.

They considered their martial prowess to be extraordinary, yet none of them were confident they could destroy the Great Formation in one blow.

Sect Master Peak Lord Lu Qingxia had not tried to make a move.

It was precisely because of her indiscriminate bombardment that a corner of the Ancient Great Formation had revived.

It was continuously draining the vitality within the Great Formation.

This made Zhong Changfeng's already difficult situation even more perilous.

If they made another mistake.

And the Third Old Ancestor died because of her.

Then she would truly become a sinner for all eternity!

No one dared to bear this responsibility!

Perhaps Morning Glow Valley's Old Ancestor could break open the Great Formation.

However, that Old Ancestor was like a Dragon, seen at the head but not the tail.

They couldn't contact him at all.

At this moment, someone suggested, “Sect Master, perhaps we can seek outside help!”

These words immediately drew rebuttals from others: “Our Morning Glow Valley is already a top-tier force in the Eastern Region.”

“Who else can we ask for help?”

“Undeniably, outside the Eastern Region, there are Sects stronger than us.”

“Leaving aside whether we can persuade such an existence to act.”

“Even if we could, how much time would it take to travel to other regions and back?”

“Can the Third Old Ancestor last that long?”

As soon as these words were spoken, silence fell over the scene.

Everyone felt a heavy pressure.

Although the Third Old Ancestor's cultivation was not high, he was deeply loved by the Old Ancestor.

Once he died, if the Old Ancestor was enraged, every single person present would have to bear the Old Ancestor's wrath!

Just as everyone felt at a loss, Su Wenjiu, who was sitting in a corner, stood up and said, “I know someone who might be able to rescue the Third Old Ancestor!”

As soon as these words came out, she instantly became the center of attention.

“Little Su, who is this person?”

Sect Master Peak Lord Lu Qingxia asked in surprise.

A problem that had stumped all of them, Su Wenjiu could solve it?

Doubt filled everyone's hearts!

Su Wenjiu bowed to the Sect Master.

After a moment of hesitation, she spoke.

“Revered Master, this person is the Peak Revered Master of Immortal River Sect—Zhong Qing!”

“What in the world?!”

An Elder's eyes widened, and the way he looked at Su Wenjiu immediately changed.

Immortal River Sect might have some reputation locally.

But in their eyes, it was merely a second-rate Sect.

Compared to Morning Glow Valley, it was completely not on the same level.

Many Elders hadn't even heard its name.

Now, a problem that had stumped their entire Morning Glow Valley, Su Wenjiu actually claimed a second-rate Sect could solve it, and it was even a Peak Revered Master!

This was truly outrageous.

It was like outrageous gave outrageous a key, leading to outrageousness reaching its peak.

“Wenjiu!”

“I know you want to contribute to the Sect.”

“I understand your desire to save the Third Old Ancestor.”

“But now is not the time to be foolish, please step back for now!”

Sect Master Peak Lord Lu Qingxia's face immediately darkened, and she reprimanded her with slight displeasure.

As a Saintess, it was understandable to show off and enhance her prestige within the Sect.

But this act of joking with the Third Old Ancestor's life was truly inappropriate!

Seeing this, Su Wenjiu became anxious.

“Revered Master, I'm really not speaking carelessly.”

“The feeling Zhong Qing gives me is extremely powerful.”

She immediately recounted her experience on Mufu Peak.

Afterward, she concluded: “Disciple suspects that pond is the legendary Sea of Bitterness!”

“Impossible!”

“Absolutely impossible!”

An Elder retorted without even thinking.

“The Sea of Bitterness is a Buddhist object.”

“One must know that Buddhism, even across the entire continent, is a renowned existence.”

“The importance of the Sea of Bitterness to Buddhism goes without saying; there's no way it could have been passed down!”

“However, as you say, this Zhong Qing is indeed extraordinary, different from ordinary people.”

The name of the Sea of Bitterness was too grand!

In their opinion, the item in Zhong Qing's hands was merely a replica.

But even if it was a replica, being able to imitate the characteristics of the Sea of Bitterness, this alone was enough to make them look at him with higher regard.

Of course, it was only a higher regard.

In everyone's minds, they still didn't believe Zhong Qing could solve the problem that had stumped all of them.

“Revered Master, the Third Old Ancestor is in grave danger now.”

“And we have no solutions at all.”

“Why not try with an attitude of giving it a shot.”

“This place is only ten thousand miles away from Immortal River Sect; with our speed, we can make a round trip in just two or three days.”

“Perhaps he really can help us?”

Seeing her speak so sincerely, Peak Lord Lu Qingxia also couldn't help but be moved.

After a long period of contemplation, looking at Su Wenjiu's hopeful eyes, she finally nodded.

“Since that's the case, then this Revered Master will go with you!”
