“Grieving Grass, Falling God Flower, Parasitic Poison Ginseng…”
Lu Changsheng had collected thousands of highly toxic Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures in the Valley of Doom.
Some of these herbs were unique treasures to this forbidden area of the valley.
With thousands of Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, and each can be gifted to disciples over and over, the materials Lu Changsheng collected in the Valley of Doom would be sufficient for him to teach disciples for quite some time.
Lu Changsheng even harvested a pile of insect eggs.
These Demonic Insects could continuously produce venom.
However, Lu Changsheng had not found the eggs of the Devouring Demon Worm.
Suddenly, Lu Changsheng’s attention was caught by a waterfall.
He hovered in midair, overlooking the area, and saw that the river where the waterfall was located turned out to be a straight chasm.
The entire area was crisscrossed with ravines and sword scars.
“These are sword marks, and the waterfall is merely formed by the redirection of the great river caused by sword marks.”
Seeing the waterfall, which had formed over many years, Lu Changsheng secretly marveled.
“Wait a moment…”
Lu Changsheng gazed at the countless ravines and sword scars, trying to deduce the sword techniques used by the person from that year.
Lu Changsheng suddenly had an epiphany. He closed his eyes, elevating his Sword Dao Comprehension.
Seas changed into mulberry fields; in Ancient Times, a graceful man wielding an Immortal Sword, with sharp divine light in his eyes.
Opposite him, a Demonic Insect that obscured the sky and sun. It had eighteen pairs of wings, its body swallowed up the light, and its poison fog was like a dark cloud that covered ten thousand miles, causing one Cultivator after another of the Human Race to fall.
The graceful man made his move with his sword.
His swordsmanship transcended the mundane world, capturing the essence of heaven and earth, as though all other forms of swordsmanship paled in comparison.
The astonishing swordsmanship unleashed, the ground dusted, what was once highland, was carved by Sword Qi into countless ravines and raised mountains into nothingness, the highland became valleys, space shattered, returned to chaos, cutting down everything…
“This Sword Technique has exceeded my comprehension.”
Lu Changsheng opened his eyes, his back drenched in sweat. He had merely been deducing the battle from the past based on the sword scars here and was deeply shocked by the incredible swordsmanship of that person.
The one who had carved the highland into a valley might have been the Heavenly Sect Leader who had slain the Great Accomplishment Devouring Demon Worm back in the day.
Even placed in Ancient Times, or even the more remote eras, the Heavenly Sect Leader was among the strongest Great Experts.
During Ancient Times, the Heavenly Sect was the strongest Sword Cultivator Sect in the Lower Realm, the pilgrimage site for all sword cultivators across the continent.
And the Heavenly Sect Leader was the strongest sword cultivator in the Lower Realm, the undisputed first Sword Saint.
His chief senior disciple, Yun Qianyue, was able to defeat the Mysterious Lady Palace’s Fifth Sword Maiden, the Mount Taihua Goddess, even when Yun Qianyue wasn’t at her peak condition.
After her sparring with the Mount Taihua Goddess, Yun Qianyue’s cultivation level saw further improvements.
However, the name of the Heavenly Sect Leader was barely mentioned by any of the Holy Lands.
“It must be because the era was too long ago, and many strong beings who perished during Ancient Times have turned to dust.”
Lu Changsheng, inspired by the sword scars left by the battle between the Heavenly Sect Leader and the Devouring Demon Worm in the Valley of Doom, deepened his understanding of the Sword Dao.
The lair of the Devouring Demon Worm was vast.
Disciples from various Holy Lands and Prestigious Families spread out, using True Qi flames to burn many insect eggs.
Deep within one cave, the Ancient Qian Family Patriarch, along with Qian Family’s experts, ventured into this cave.
With the master of the Valley of Doom—the Devouring Demon Worm fallen, other Ancient Demon Worms posed little threat to this small team from the Ancient Qian Family.
“This cave is really strange, no Demonic Insects roaming around and it goes straight to the Earth Core.”
The Qian Family Patriarch noticed the unusual aspects of the cave.
He led the Qian Family Elders and Disciples, flying through the cave, and came to the Earth Core.
The Earth Core was an endless expanse of magma.
A Qian Family Elder said, “Patriarch, this is the magma from the Earth Core, extremely hot. This place might be a channel dug out by a Demonic Insect for absorbing Earth Fire, empty with nothing, why not look for the eggs of the Devouring Demon Worms elsewhere?”
The Ancient Qian Family Patriarch gazed at the steaming magma of the Earth Core with furrowed brows, pulling out a deep blue Treasure Bottle.
From this bottle, a wisp of cold air emerged, which parted the magma and under the manipulation of the Qian Family Patriarch, entered into the magma.
After quite some time, the cold air, wrapped around a cocoon, emerged from the depths of the magma.
Sounds of a heartbeat coming from the cocoon sent shivers down everyone’s spines.
The Qian Family Elders and Disciples were surprised beyond belief, finding a cocoon within the Earth Fire: “Patriarch, this, this is…”
The Qian Family Patriarch’s eyes blazed with fervor: “This is the egg of the Devouring Demon Worm.”
“You’re saying there’s a Devouring Demon Worm inside this?”
The Qian Family Elders and Disciples couldn’t help but be extremely surprised.
Once the Devouring Demon Worm reaches Great Accomplishment, it can easily slaughter most of the great Human Race experts, being one of the most terrifying beings of the Demon Race.
And the cocoon of the Devouring Demon Worm was right before their eyes.
“Then, Patriarch, we should kill it quickly to avoid endless trouble.”
“We can’t kill it.”
“Why not?”
The Qian Family Elders and Disciples were utterly baffled.
“Rare goods are valuable.”
The Qian Family Patriarch stretched out his hand, and a jade box appeared in his palm.
This jade box was also sealed with multiple Talismans.
The Qian Family Patriarch recited the Mnemonic Verse, opened the jade box, and took the cocoon of the Devouring Demon Worm inside.
Then, the Qian Family Patriarch reapplied the Talismans and sealed the cocoon.
“As long as we tame the Devouring Demon Worm, our Ancient Qian Family will possess a formidable battle strength. No one may divulge this matter, understood?”
