Mount Taihua Sacred Land, the Ancient Ancestor led everyone back.
Even an Ancient Ancestor couldn’t kill the Bug King in the Valley of Doom; they could only choose to avoid its edge.
“The Devouring Demon Worm of the Valley of Doom is in collusion with the Demon Lord of the Demon Realm. We must not allow it to continue growing; otherwise, once the Immortal Realm and Demon Realm go to war, the ancient demonic insects from the Valley of Doom sweeping across all directions would be unimaginable.”
Lin Xuantong looked towards Ruan Qi the Fairy of the Mysterious Lady Palace.
Ruan Qi the Fairy understood Lin Xuantong’s implication.
Mount Taihua Sacred Land, by its power alone, found it difficult to quell the Valley of Doom and needed the intervention of the Heavenly Court.
As one of the eight major Divine Palaces of the Heavenly Court, commanding the northeastern part of the Immortal Realm, the Mysterious Lady Palace was duty-bound to lead the extermination of the Valley of Doom since it appeared within their jurisdiction.
“The Bug King of the Valley of Doom is beyond my capabilities; I need to report to the twelve Sword Maidens.”
Ruan Qi the Fairy, having escaped from death, felt lingering fear towards the bug army of the Valley of Doom.
The sea of bugs in the Valley of Doom made even those in the Divine King Realm feel despair.
Ruan Qi the Fairy was far from the level of the twelve Sword Maidens; perhaps it would require the Sword Maidens’ intervention to eradicate the Valley of Doom.
“This matter exceeds the scope of our Mount Taihua Sacred Land; I’ll leave it to your Mysterious Lady Palace.”
Seeing that Ruan Qi the Fairy was willing to take charge, Lin Xuantong handed over the responsibility to the Mysterious Lady Palace.
The Heavenly Court, if it wanted to exert influence over the Lower Realm, must undertake its responsibilities.
Ruan Qi the Fairy dispatched messengers to report to the Mysterious Lady Palace.
The Heavenly Court, the Mysterious Lady Palace, with its countless palaces, was dazzling in gold and jade, the pools clear, cranes soared, and Yuquan echoed with flowing water.
One of the twelve Sword Maidens, Mengchen the Sword Maiden, received the report from Ruan Qi the Fairy, her expression solemn.
With a thought, her divine sense instantly moved to the third palace of the Mysterious Lady Palace: “This is the news brought back by Ruan Qi. A Devouring Demon Worm has appeared in the Valley of Doom in the Lower Realm, and this Devouring Demon Worm has already reached the Immortal Realm. I’m afraid I’m not its match, so I ask Elder Sister Three to take action.”
The Sword Maiden dressed in deep purple, her skin like ice and bones like jade, spoke coldly: “The bug army of the Devouring Demon Worm is no trivial matter. Even I would perish if I ventured alone into the Valley of Doom. We need to call upon the forces of the various Holy Lands and Prestigious Families to join forces and besiege the Valley of Doom.”
“Leave it to me to gather the forces from the various Holy Lands and Prestigious Families.”
Mengchen the Fairy immediately set out to make arrangements.
The Holy Lands and ancient Cultivator Clans under the jurisdiction of the Mysterious Lady Palace in the Lower Realm all received orders from the Mysterious Lady Palace, demanding each Holy Land and Cultivator Clan to dispatch corresponding experts to participate in the siege of the Valley of Doom.
The more powerful the Holy Land or ancient Cultivator Clan, the more experts they were required to send.
On Mount Taihua of the Mysterious Lady Palace, Yuexi was cultivating when suddenly, a Sword Maiden in a deep purple long dress appeared near her: “Xi’er, follow your master on a trip to the Lower Realm.”
Yuexi, who was meditating, opened her bright eyes: “Master, what has happened?”
“A Demon King Rank Devouring Demon Worm has appeared in the forbidden Valley of Doom in the Lower Realm. It must be slain before its demonic body fully matures. The Heavenly Court will also dispatch Heavenly Soldiers and Generals to join our Mysterious Lady Palace in besieging the Valley of Doom. You will accompany your master to the Lower Realm for training.”
“Okay.”
Yuexi, ever since being defeated by Lu Changsheng at the Heavenly Court’s grand assembly, had been diligently cultivating in the Mysterious Lady Palace, striving to catch up to him soon.
This siege of the Valley of Doom was a great opportunity for training.
Even the prodigies of the eight Divine Palaces, though talented, needed to experience the trials of life and death to be able to take charge of the Divine Palace in the future; otherwise, lacking experience, they were just flowers in a greenhouse.
True experts utilize various advantageous conditions for combat, and it’s not just a comparison of cultivation levels.
Yuexi blinked: “Master, where will we stay in the Lower Realm?”
“Mount Taihua.”
“Ah?”
Yuexi was stunned; wasn’t this where Lu Changsheng, who defeated her at the Heavenly Court’s grand assembly, was cultivating?
Lu Changsheng, in order to save his tricks for the battle against Emperor Ku, had resorted to using methods that were nearly akin to street thugs brawling. With his sturdy physique, he fought close-combat with Yuexi, nearly pinning her down to hit, which made a deep impression on Yuexi, to be exact, one filled with gnashing of teeth…
After all, Lu Changsheng had embarrassed her, a peerlessly beautiful woman, in front of the many Elders and Disciples of the thousands of Divine Palaces of the Heavenly Court.
Such an opponent was hard to forget.
On Changliu Mountain, the Elder residing in place for the Mysterious Lady Palace informed the Everlasting Immortal that the Changliu Holy Land had to dispatch at least five Divine Kings, a hundred Immortal Emperors, and preferably Great Experts to participate in the Valkyrie of the Valley of Doom.
“It seems like the Mysterious Lady Palace is quite aware of our Changliu Mountain’s foundation…”
The Everlasting Immortal’s eyes held a tinge of wariness.
Between the major forces of the Immortal Realm, although they usually kept to themselves, they were not entirely friendly and would not lightly divulge their own foundations.
Just like the tension between the Ancient Su Clan, Ancient Huangfu Clan, and Ancient Helian Clan, which were usually at peace, but once the Ancient Ancestors of the Su Clan were trapped in the chaotic flows of time and space in the Deep Void, the Huangfu and Helian Families would try to snatch away the treasures of the Ancient Su Clan.
Changliu Mountain only truly trusted a few Holy Lands that had good relations with them.
If the Mysterious Lady Palace knew too much about Changliu Mountain’s foundation, it could be a hidden danger.
“Disciple, inform the Disciples on the list to prepare to meet with your master at Mount Taihua.”
The Everlasting Immortal drafted a list and gave it to the White Immortal Emperor, who gathered a host of Elders and Disciples.
The White Immortal Emperor exclaimed in surprise: “What’s this?”
“The Mysterious Lady Palace wants to summon dozens of Holy Lands and ancient Cultivator Clans to besiege the Valley of Doom, eradicating that forbidden place.”
