20: Immortal Burial Valley!

Every session of Cultivation brought a tangible improvement to Su Yang.

If he could, Su Yang wouldn't mind spending 24 hours a day immersed in Cultivation.

Most men might not be able to do this, but he now possessed an incredibly powerful Innate Kidney Body, so this aspect was absolutely not a problem.

However, they were currently on the Immortal Ship, and it was impossible for Junior Sister Yun Yao to accompany him in Cultivation all day long.

As dawn broke, Su Yang withdrew from Cultivation.

"Junior Sister Yun Yao... Junior Sister?"

Su Yang didn't know whether to laugh or cry; the girl had actually fallen asleep in his arms.

"Hm?"

"You're done Cultivating?"

Wen Yunyao groggily opened her eyes and subconsciously took out some paper from her Magical Artifact, preparing to clean up.

"You girl... I'm impressed..."

Originally, Su Yang was holding back and didn't plan to erupt, but as soon as he saw her take out the paper, he really couldn't hold it in and exploded.

"Ah—"

Wen Yunyao let out a soft cry, thinking he had already finished his 'critical hit' when he ended his Cultivation, but she didn't expect him to hit her again at that moment; it was purely a sneak attack~

Afraid of attracting attention from the adjacent cabin, Wen Yunyao covered her own mouth.

A moment later, she blushed and slapped Su Yang's chest.

"Really, how can you be like this...?"

Su Yang said with a wry smile, "I was afraid it would be troublesome for you to clean up, so I wasn't planning on it, but I didn't expect you to already be prepared... You can't blame me for this..."

"So it's because of me?"

Seeing him like this, Wen Yunyao inexplicably felt a small sense of pride as a woman.

She smiled playfully and habitually cleaned up what needed to be cleaned, and this time... the girl even took the initiative to help him tidy up as well.

It made Su Yang feel a little embarrassed.

"Ahem, you should go back quickly, don't let your father find out."

Su Yang said, rubbing his nose.

"Mm~ I'm going~"

Wen Yunyao was even more embarrassed, but she was very happy inside. She quickly leaned in and kissed Su Yang on the cheek, then whispered in his ear, "I'll come find you again tonight. You can Cultivate with me without worry~"

The two vastly different expressions of boldness and shyness appeared on her face simultaneously. At this moment, Wen Yunyao looked exceptionally charming.

To be honest, at this moment, Su Yang, as a man, couldn't help but feel a little moved by her.

"Go back."

Su Yang said.

"Mm~"

Wen Yunyao nodded and quietly slipped back to her own cabin while no one was outside.

Su Yang rubbed his temples.

As their intimate contact deepened, Su Yang himself had to admit that his feelings for this girl were becoming increasingly complex.

However, Su Yang knew very well that now was not the time for romantic entanglement.

He wouldn't refuse her coming to help him Cultivate at night, and similarly, during the day, he would continue to improve his combat skills!

He had wanted to go to Burial Immortal Valley three years ago, but unfortunately, he had not yet entered the Foundation Establishment Stage, so he had never had the opportunity to go to Burial Immortal Valley.

Now that he had finally entered the Foundation Establishment Stage, he had to focus all his energy on the trip to Burial Immortal Valley.

He hadn't seen those ancient Magical Artifacts because he hadn't been to Burial Immortal Valley, but he had heard from Disciples who had gone there that the high-quality ancient Magical Artifacts there were stronger than most people's self-Cultivated Natal Magical Artifacts.

If given the chance, Su Yang naturally wanted a high-quality ancient Magical Artifact.

Once an ancient Magical Artifact recognized him, he would have a strong guarantee of strength before refining his own Natal Magical Artifact, and it would also be a shortcut to obtaining Sect Cultivation resources.

He must continue to Cultivate!

In the evening, Wen Yunyao, taking advantage of everyone being diligently Cultivating, arrived at Su Yang's cabin early. The more time she could let him Cultivate, the more she would.

She would then sneak back in the morning.

Two days and two nights passed quickly.

As dawn broke again, the voice of Wen Yuheng, the Sect Master of Profound Heaven Dao Sect, resonated in the mind of every Disciple.

"We will soon arrive at Burial Immortal Valley."

"Everyone gather on the deck!"

Su Yang had just finished Cultivating with Wen Yunyao and was the first to get up and go to the deck.

The Immortal Ship flew at an altitude of over a thousand meters. Just a few dozen kilometers directly ahead of the Immortal Ship, an extremely shocking scene intensely impacted Su Yang, who witnessed it.

At the top of the distant firmament, there was actually a gap, from which majestic Spiritual Qi poured down like a waterfall, continuously flowing into the earth.

Around where the Spiritual Qi landed, eleven giant-like figures, resembling mountains, sat cross-legged in a circle.

No, no, no!

More precisely, there were eleven mountain-like giants sitting cross-legged, surrounding the landing point of the Spiritual Qi. Each giant mountain was densely covered with lush vegetation.

For some reason, upon seeing this scene, Su Yang felt a dizzy spell in his head.

Many similar scenes flashed through his mind, but he knew very well that this was his first time at Burial Immortal Valley, and this was the first time he had seen the scene before him.

"Are you alright?"

Wen Yuheng noticed Su Yang's pale face and casually asked.

"I'm fine. Thank you for your concern, Sect Master."

Su Yang shook his head. After adjusting his breathing for a moment, the images in his mind gradually faded.

Su Yang stepped forward and asked curiously, "Sect Master, is this thing falling from the sky Spiritual Qi?"

Wen Yuheng nodded, "Spiritual Qi from the Upper Realm."

"Upper Realm? What is the Upper Realm?"

Su Yang looked up at the sky. The only thing he could think of regarding the so-called Upper Realm was the other world one entered after breaking through the Void Realm, as described in web novels.

"I also don't know what the Upper Realm is."

Wen Yuheng shrugged his shoulders candidly. Looking at the Spiritual Qi pouring down from the sky, he said indifferently, "In the Myriad Spirits Realm's verifiable history of over fifty thousand years, only during the First Era did a supreme Cultivator, known as the Eternal Immortal Emperor, break through the Void Realm and enter the Upper Realm. Since then, no other Cultivator has had the strength or the immortal destiny to enter the Upper Realm."

His words were calm, but as a Cultivator, Wen Yuheng's expression couldn't help but show a longing for the Upper Realm.

"It seems that some Law of the Myriad Spirits Realm has locked the ascension path for Cultivators," Su Yang secretly mused.

Since even the Sect Master didn't know, there was no need for him to dwell on it. Moreover, he had just entered the Foundation Establishment Stage - Mid Phase, so it wasn't his turn to worry needlessly about this matter.

Su Yang's gaze dropped from the sky to the ground.

He pointed at the eleven giant mountain-like figures on the ground and asked, "Sect Master, are those eleven mountains that resemble giants, or eleven giants that resemble mountains?"

At the very least, their appearance around the landing point of the Upper Realm's Spiritual Qi certainly couldn't be a coincidence.

Wen Yuheng said, "There are rumors that they are the Dharma Idols of eleven great powers from the First Era who had already surpassed the Undergoing Tribulation Stage. There are also rumors that they are the eleven Incarnations of that Eternal Immortal Emperor. And there are rumors that this is the Eternal Immortal Emperor using his Divine Ability to refine eleven great mountains filled with strange powers into eleven gigantic humanoid Magical Artifacts, used to suppress certain great terrors that leaked down along with the Upper Realm's Spiritual Qi."

"No one knows what they truly are; the truth has long been lost in the tens of thousands of years of history."

Wen Yuheng turned around and saw that all the Disciples of the Profound Heaven Dao Sect were standing behind him. Seeing the awe and hidden excitement on their faces, similar to Su Yang's, he changed his tone and said, "However, this is not important to you, nor is it something you need to concern yourselves with. The only thing you need to know is that you have already entered the vicinity of Burial Immortal Valley, and you will have the opportunity to obtain ancient Magical Artifacts within Burial Immortal Valley. If possible, I hope each of you can obtain your own fated Magical Artifacts here."

"The Profound Heaven Dao Sect has lost to the Five Elements Sect for five consecutive years. If we continue to lose like this, the Five Elements Sect might have the chance, by virtue of having more ancient Magical Artifacts than us and continuously improving overall strength, to surpass us and become the head of the Eight Great Sects!"

"Currently, you are still Disciples of the Profound Heaven Dao Sect, the number one Sect among the Eight Great Sects. If you are surpassed by the Five Elements Sect, then you will be Disciples of the number two Sect in the world. Are you willing to accept that?"

"Unwilling!!!"

Hearing the Sect Master say this, the Disciples of the Profound Heaven Dao Sect were naturally unwilling to accept this possibility.

"Since you are unwilling, I hope you can strive for yourselves and for the Profound Heaven Dao Sect this year. Do not tarnish the reputation of the Profound Heaven Dao Sect as the head of the Eight Great Sects! And do not allow yourselves to become Disciples of the number two Sect in the world!"

"Yes!"

"We will not let down the Sect Master's expectations!"

Everyone held their breath, their eyes burning brightly.

Whether for the Sect or for themselves, this journey had to be fought with all their might!

As Wen Yuheng finished his pre-battle mobilization, seven other Immortal Ships also appeared in their vision from the seven directions ahead...
