Chapter 1709 Nine Lotus Platforms
Although this eagle-type monster is also a monster, its defense is much worse than that of the wolf-type monster. Qingyang used the Five Elements Sword Formation to directly injure the eagle-type monster, and it fell to the ground and couldn't get up for a long time. Knowing that this monster was transformed by the Heart-seeking Valley and there was nothing good to drop, Qingyang was too lazy to kill it, so he turned around and killed the remaining eagle-type monster.
After losing his companion, the remaining eagle-type monster's strength was greatly reduced, and it no longer posed a threat to Qingyang. Qingyang didn't even need to target him specifically. Just a few rounds of strong attacks forced the eagle-type monster into a dead end, and then a move of the Five Elements Sword Formation completely injured him.
Just like before, the two eagle-shaped monsters did not leave anything for Qingyang. After a flash of spiritual light flew away, their bodies slowly turned into mist and dissipated in the air. Although Qingyang had been mentally prepared, he still felt unfair when he saw this situation. He worked hard but got nothing. This Heart-Searching Valley was really stingy. I wonder if it will be the same after the challenge is successful.
The adventure in the valley continued. After killing two eagle-shaped monsters, Qingyang did not delay and continued to walk towards the depths of the Heart-Searching Valley. The journey behind was not peaceful. Along the way, Qingyang encountered a total of seven or eight monsters. The strength of these monsters was high or low, but they were all at the level of the middle stage of the Nascent Soul, and did not exceed the strength of the cultivators who participated in the adventure. It was not too difficult to deal with them.
Of course, there was no harvest. The monsters here were all transformed by the Heart-Searching Valley. After being severely injured, the spiritual light would fly away and turn into mist, leaving nothing for the cultivators who went through the valley.
In the blink of an eye, several hours passed. Qingyang felt that he had walked at least hundreds of miles and finally walked out of the foggy area. Looking around, his vision and mind were no longer affected. The scenery in the depths of the Heart-Searching Valley was in full view, and there were no more white monsters around.
The environment in this Heart-Searching Valley was much better than outside the valley. There was vitality everywhere, and spiritual herbs were everywhere. Some of them were quite old. Qingyang took a casual walk inside and picked several suitable spiritual herbs. There were even some very rare ones that Qingyang had never heard of. However, as a senior Dan Emperor, even if Qingyang had never heard of these spiritual herbs, he could roughly judge the role of spiritual herbs based on the characteristics of spiritual herbs, and knew that these spiritual herbs were very useful to him.
The spiritual energy in the valley was also extremely rich, stronger than the spiritual pond that Qingyang had seen in the underground magic cave before. Practicing here for a long time would definitely achieve twice the result with half the effort. If the reward for the challenge of this Heart-Searching Valley was to practice in the valley for decades, Qingyang felt it was still worth it.
Qingyang sighed as he walked quickly forward. His sight and mind were no longer affected. With his current strength, he was not afraid of any unexpected accidents. He could walk forward boldly. In just a cup of tea, he arrived at the depths of the Heart-Searching Valley.
The reason why he confirmed that this was the depths of the Heart-Searching Valley was because Qingyang saw other people who participated in the challenge. There were already more than a dozen cultivators at a lake not far ahead. He didn't expect so many people to arrive before him, but thinking about it, this was nothing strange. When entering the valley, Qingyang was relatively low-key and fell behind. Many people entered earlier than him. Although Qingyang's strength was very high, it was hard to guarantee that others did not have special means. Moreover, Qingyang followed halfway and did not know much about the Heart-Searching Valley Challenge. Others had already prepared, so it was normal for them to pass the level in advance.
Among the dozen people, the six Nascent Soul Level 6 cultivators and the five Nascent Soul Level 5 cultivators were not missing. Among them was Situ Yong who had looked for Qingyang. The rest were almost all Nascent Soul Level 5. There was only one Nascent Soul Level 4 cultivator, who was the helper at the top of the Nascent Soul Level 4 that Situ Yong had found. When Situ Yong had looked for Qingyang before, he had said that if Qingyang was willing to help, he could help Qingyang pass the first level as soon as possible, so this person probably did not rely on his own strength.
Seeing Qingyang suddenly appear, the cultivators by the lake were all surprised, even Leng Yun, who had always had a cold face. It was indeed surprising that a Nascent Soul Level 3 cultivator actually passed the first level of the Heart Valley earlier than many Nascent Soul Level 4 and 5 cultivators.
Especially Situ Yong, he was even more surprised and doubtful. Although there was a peak cultivator of the fourth level of the Nascent Soul on the field, he passed the level in advance with his help. Qingyang came so quickly without anyone's help. This strength is really impressive. No wonder he couldn't be moved by what he said before. It turns out that this kid has a certain confidence.
Although they were surprised, no one showed it. They were all outstanding people in various worlds and had seen many talented people. Although Qingyang was rare, it was not uncommon. He was just an early Nascent Soul cultivator in other worlds. He was fast in breaking through the valley, but he might not be able to pass the stage and question his heart. After the Wanling Conference, they went their separate ways. There was no need to pay special attention.
The second level had not started yet. Qingyang, like the others, found a place by the lake to meditate and regulate his breath. After that, cultivators came one after another, but most of them were cultivators of the fifth level of the Nascent Soul. Those of the fourth level of the Nascent Soul were rarely seen. More than 30 cultivators soon gathered by the lake.
Among the more than 30 cultivators, there are 6 people at the sixth level of the Nascent Soul, 27 people at the fifth level of the Nascent Soul, and 2 people at the fourth level of the Nascent Soul. In addition to the fourth-level peak cultivator brought by Situ Yong to help, there is another person at the fourth level of the Nascent Soul. However, this person is in a rather miserable situation. He is covered in wounds. Although he barely made it through the first level, he is afraid that he will not be competitive in the second level. There is only one person at the third level of the Nascent Soul, Qingyang, who is very conspicuous among the many mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivators.
Most of the fourth-level Nascent Soul cultivators did not pass the first level, and several fifth-level Nascent Soul cultivators were also blocked outside. From this, it can be seen that the first level of the Heart-Searching Valley is still difficult. These people either retreated because they could not beat the monsters, or felt that even if they defeated the monsters, the possibility of passing the next two levels was not great. It is better to give up than to waste their efforts.
Several more hours passed. Calculating the time, it had been a day since they entered the valley. The lake in front of them finally moved. After a buzzing sound, the lake surface began to fluctuate, and it became more and more violent. The lake water in the middle gradually boiled, like a boiling pot.
Qingyang had seen this scene before participating in the preliminaries of the All-Spirit Association. The lake water was also boiling, and finally a golden preliminaries hall emerged from the lake. However, what rose up this time was not a golden hall, but nine golden lotus platforms, like a lotus, forming a circle in the center of the lake.
