Chapter 1411 Vanishing Valley

1411 Vanishing Valley

After leaving the Cultivators’ Haven with Xiao Hua, Yuan went to find the teleportation device in their city.

When he found it, Yuan approached the individual managing it and said, "I’d like to travel to Black Fog City."

"Black Fog City? That’s very far away from here, so it’ll cost 200,000 spirit stones." The manager said.

"200,000, right? Here." Yuan paid the money without hesitation.

The manager took a moment to count the spirit stones before nodding his head, "Alright, I have confirmed your payment. Give me a few minutes to adjust the device."

As he waited for the device, Yuan recalled the directions Dong Ye had given him to the Vanishing Valley.

A few minutes later, Yuan stepped through the teleportation device, traveling to the other side of the world in the blink of an eye.

The instant he emerged from the portal, he was met with an eerie scene. His view was obstructed by a black fog that seemingly engulfed the entire city. The atmosphere was chilling, and it felt like he had already arrived at the Shadow Realm.

Of course, Yuan had learned of this place before his arrival, so he wasn’t shocked by the scene.

’The fog is thicker than I’d anticipated. Luckily, it doesn’t have any harmful effects on the body. Still, how does one live in such an environment?’ he wondered to himself as he started walking north.

While the black fog obstructed his vision, he had no issues seeing with his divine sense.

When he used his divine sense to examine his surroundings, he sensed hundreds of thousands of presence within the city. Surprisingly, there were more residents than he anticipated.

Due to the environment, the cost of living within the city was extremely low, making it an ideal place to live for those without money, and since the black fog was only aesthetically unpleasant and somewhat inconvenient, many people chose to live here despite the ghastly atmosphere.

As for the black fog, it originated from the Vanishing Valley. Given the close proximity of Black Fog City to the Vanishing Valley, it was an unavoidable inconvenience.

After leaving the city, Yuan flew high into the sky, where the fog couldn’t reach, and he continued moving north.

As he approached the Vanishing Valley, the black fog thickened and ascended higher into the air. Gradually, it began emitting a faint and unpleasant dusty smell.

Yuan reacted by covering his body in a thin layer of spiritual energy, separating himself from the smell.

A few days later, Yuan stopped moving when he noticed thousands of signs in the distance.

[Vanishing Valley ahead! Stay away!]

[Turn around! Turn around!! Turn Around!!!]

[Only death awaits those who ignore the warnings!]

[Danger! Danger!! Danger!!!]

Thousands of such signs were positioned before the Vanishing Valley, spanning for miles and forming a bizarre barrier that couldn’t be disregarded.

If Yuan had come across this place by accident and seen these signs, he would’ve turned around without any hesitation. Unfortunately, he came here with a very specific goal in mind, and that goal was only achievable if he entered the Vanishing Valley.

After taking a deep breath and mentally preparing himself, Yuan flew past the signs and entered the Vanishing Valley several miles ahead.

The instant Yuan passed the treeline that was within the Vanishing Valley’s territory, he sensed a subtle change in the atmosphere, almost like he’d slipped through an invisible wall.

He turned around to find that the treelines he had just traversed had vanished entirely, replaced by an expansive emptiness stretching for countless miles.

"So this is the illusion that Dong Ye mentioned, huh..." he mumbled in a low voice.

Yuan didn’t linger and continued moving forward. Unfortunately for him, there were no maps of the Vanishing Valley, so he could only wander aimlessly until he found something recognizable, such as the giant sword that Dong Ye had warned him about.

However, he couldn’t afford to travel too swiftly or recklessly, given the presence of innumerable magical beasts roaming the Vanishing Valley, with many capable of rivaling even immortal cultivators.

Xiao Hua left his Dantian shortly after they entered the Vanishing Valley, accompanying him by his side to ensure that he wouldn’t feel alone in this dangerous land.

Several hours into their journey, they encountered their first magical beast.

"Careful, there’s a magical beast hidden within the fog about a mile away," Yuan said out loud.

This magical beast resembled a giant toad. It had purple skin with large black needles on its back, almost like that of a porcupine.

"Spirit Enlightenment..." Yuan could tell its cultivation at a glance.

"That’s a Great Violet Toad, Brother Yuan. The needles on its back are coated in a deadly poison that could kill a Divine Warrior expert in seconds, and it has the ability to shoot them out of its body like a projectile." Xiao Hua said, showcasing her knowledge.

Yuan nodded. He summoned the Empyrean Overlord and threw it at the Great Violet Toad, killing it in a single hit.

Ding!

’Huh? That toad was an Elite Boss?’ Yuan was not expecting to see an announcement for such a simple kill.

"Brother Yuan, you should salvage its needles. They are quite valuable even in the upper heavens." Xiao Hua said to him afterward.

Yuan nodded and collected the needles.

[Great Violet Toad’s Needle]

[Material]

[Description: Very durable and contains deadly poison]

"Hmm? Now that I have it in my hands, it kind of resembles the Black Anguish Needle I acquired some time ago. Perhaps it was created with this?" Yuan expressed his thoughts after seeing their familiarities.

"Most spiritual treasures are created with parts salvaged from magical beasts, so it’s very likely." Xiao Hua said.

After storing the needles, they resumed their journey.

Half an hour later.

"Another Elite Boss? Don’t tell me all of the magical beasts in the Vanishing Valley are such entities..." Yuan muttered in a dazed voice as he glared at the announcement with a weird look on his face.
