Chapter 689: The Summit of the Celestial Immortal Sect and the Mysterious Visitor

Gu Jiuchen was quite excited after getting the Universe Mirror. This mirror ranked ninth among the heaven-defying artifacts on the list.

Although it was somewhat different from the other major artifacts in his hand, it was still one of the top ten artifacts on the Heavenly List. Gu Jiuchen did not keep this type of artifact to himself.

He took it out and used it as the sect-protecting artifact of the Tianxian Sect.

With this artifact, even if Tiandao Sect is weird and unpredictable, even if it is not completely eradicated in the end, it will not be able to cause any harm to Tianxian Sect.

After having this artifact, Gu Jiuchen returned to the Tianxian Sect, began to lose control of his protection, and then began to practice in the sect.

The strength of the Tianxian Sect is also getting stronger and stronger, and there are more and more strong people in the Void Refining Realm. In addition to Gu Jiuchen, who is the master of the Void Refining Realm, Gu Jiuchen's Taoist companion Ye Linglong is also at the peak of the Void Refining Realm.

There are also several of his disciples, Zhu Tai, Qi Rong, Li Yifeng, Lin Wanqing, and Lin Luan, who are all at the peak of the Void Refining Realm, and there is also a disciple, Yun Che, who is also at the peak of the Void Refining Realm.

Gu Jiuchen's twenty closed disciples have all reached the Void Refining Realm, and they are basically at the late stage of the Void Refining Realm.

It's not very far away from the peak.

The most terrifying thing about the Tianxian Sect is that Gu Jiuchen's first disciple Liu Yaonian has many profound talents. She has broken through the realm of refining and became the first strong person in the Fusion Realm of the Tianxian Sect.

Gu Jiuchen was still very pleased with this.

As time went by, Gu Jiuchen and Ye Linglong were preparing to attack the Fusion Realm.

Time flies, and under the protection of the Universe Mirror, the Tianxian Sect shines like a bright star in the human world. Within the sect, the spiritual energy is rich, everything is growing, and there is a prosperous scene. Gu Jiuchen and Ye Linglong, the legendary couple in the human world, are locked in the deepest part of the sect, trying to break through the shackles of the Fusion Realm and enter the legendary higher realm.

In the secret room, the candlelight flickered, reflecting the determined faces of Gu Jiuchen and Ye Linglong. The two sat opposite each other, surrounded by a rich whirlpool of spiritual energy. Every breath seemed to absorb the essence of heaven and earth. Their minds are connected, and their cultivations complement each other, as if they are one, and together they can withstand the violent power of heaven and earth when they break through the Fusion Realm.

"Linglong, I feel that the spiritual power in my body has reached its peak and is about to undergo the crucial transformation." Gu Jiuchen said in a deep voice, his eyes shining with unprecedented determination.

Ye Linglong smiled slightly, her eyes full of tenderness and encouragement: "Jiuchen, you and I have been practitioners for hundreds of years, and today is the moment to witness our common leap. No matter how difficult the road ahead is, I will be by your side."

As the two people connected with each other, a more majestic spiritual power burst out from their bodies, and the entire secret room seemed to tremble at this moment. In the sky, there were dark clouds, lightning and thunder, and it seemed that even the heavens were trembling for these top powerhouses in the human world.

At the same time, within the Tianxian Sect, everything was proceeding in an orderly manner. As the first strong person in the Fusion Realm of the sect, Liu Yaonian not only has advanced cultivation, but also leads the sect's disciples to new heights with his extraordinary wisdom and kindness. Under the careful guidance of Liu Yaonian, disciples such as Zhu Tai, Qi Rong, and Li Yifeng have made rapid progress in their cultivation and have gradually emerged in the human world.

In the sect, in addition to the improvement of cultivation level, there is also a strong learning atmosphere. The disciples not only practiced continuously, but also worked diligently to learn many skills such as alchemy, weapon refining, formations, etc. The entire Tianxian Sect presented a vibrant and positive scene.

However, just when Tianxian Sect was immersed in peace, an unknown undercurrent was quietly surging. One day, a mysterious man in black robe appeared outside the sect. His figure was ghostly, as if he blended into the night. He held a simple token and claimed that he wanted to see Gu Jiuchen.

"I am the messenger of the Dark Valley, and I am here to convey the wishes of my valley master." The mysterious man's voice was low and magnetic, revealing an unquestionable majesty.

Liu Yaonian frowned slightly when she heard this. Although she had not left the sect, she knew all the major forces in the human world well. Dark Valley, a sect with secretive practices and unfathomable strength, has always been at odds with the Tianxian Sect. This sudden visit must be fishy.

She did not dare to neglect and immediately reported the matter to Gu Jiuchen and Ye Linglong who were in retreat. At the same time, she personally came forward to welcome the mysterious man into the sect and arranged to wait in the VIP hall.

After Gu Jiuchen and Ye Linglong learned the news, they quickly ended their retreat and appeared in front of the VIP Hall. They stared at the mysterious man in black robes, secretly on guard.

"What are the intentions of the Lord of the Dark Valley? Our Celestial Immortal Sect has always kept aloof from the world, so why did we suddenly come to visit?" Gu Jiuchen asked in a deep voice, with a trace of undoubted majesty in his tone.

The mysterious man smiled slightly and slowly unfolded the token in his hand, only to see complex runes engraved on it, exuding a faint light. "The Valley Master's intention is not to fight but to make peace. The human world has been in turmoil recently, and many forces are ready to carve up the world. Although I, the Dark Valley, do not care about world affairs, I also know the truth of death and coldness. Therefore, the Valley Master is willing to form a union with the Celestial Immortal Sect. Allies, jointly resist foreign enemies.”

When Gu Jiuchen heard this, his brows relaxed slightly. He knew that the situation in the human world was complex and ever-changing, and it was better to have one more ally than one more enemy. But he also knew that the invitation from Dark Valley was not without purpose, and there must be a deeper reason behind it.

"The matter of forming an alliance is no small matter. I need to discuss with the elders of the sect before making a decision. However, if the Dark Valley is really sincere, I am willing to meet the owner of the valley." Gu Jiuchen said slowly, with a deep light shining in his eyes.

The mysterious man nodded in agreement and then disappeared into the night, leaving Gu Jiuchen and Ye Linglong looking at each other.

The night was as dark as ink, and the stars dotted the sky. The Tianxian Sect was still brightly lit and peaceful. However, under this tranquility, undercurrents were surging, and an unknown change was quietly brewing.

Gu Jiuchen and Ye Linglong were both upset after coming out of the VIP Hall. The sudden visit of the Dark Valley broke the tranquility of the Tianxian Sect for many years, and also forced them to re-examine the situation in the human world. The two walked side by side on the path of the sect. The bluestone road under their feet reflected the moonlight, which seemed particularly quiet.

"Linglong, what do you think the Dark Valley meant by this?" Gu Jiuchen asked in a deep voice, revealing a trace of solemnity between his brows.

Ye Linglong sighed and shook her head, saying, "The world is ever-changing, and the Dark Valley has always been secretive. I'm afraid that this alliance is not simple. But we can't give up because of fear. It's better to have one more ally than to be surrounded by enemies."

Gu Jiuchen nodded in agreement, and then changed the subject: "However, we still need to be cautious in this matter. I want to go to the Dark Valley in person, meet the valley master, and find out his true intentions."

Ye Linglong heard this, and a trace of worry flashed in her eyes, but she knew that Gu Jiuchen's decision was always well thought out, so she whispered: "In this case, I will go with you. No matter how dangerous the road ahead is, we should always face it together."

The next morning, the Tianxian Sect was busy. Gu Jiuchen and Ye Linglong had packed their bags and were ready to embark on the journey to the Dark Valley. Before leaving, Liu Yaonian brought the sect disciples to see her off. With a firm look in her eyes, she said to Gu Jiuchen: "Master, Master's wife, rest assured, I will take good care of the Tianxian Sect and wait for your triumphant return."

Gu Jiuchen patted Liu Yaonian's shoulder and smiled: "With you here, I am naturally relieved. Remember, the Tianxian Sect is our foundation. No matter how the outside world changes, we must protect it well."

After that, Gu Jiuchen and Ye Linglong turned into two streams of light, broke through the air and went straight to the direction of the Dark Valley.
