My path to immortality began with my posting to guard Dawancun.

Chapter 406 Ruins
Golden Wind Valley
Shen Changchuan naturally knew this.
It could even be said that if there was any place in the Southern Yue Kingdom that he knew best,

So, apart from the Wilderness City, Golden Wind Valley ranks second.

Even though he had never been to Golden Wind Valley.

But three years ago,
The incident involving Wu Tianhao's use of Gu in Golden Wind Valley, coupled with obtaining the second fragment of the Minghuan Gu Scripture from Youying,

Shen Changchuan became somewhat interested in Golden Wind Valley. At the same time, he wondered if, since Golden Wind Valley contained the energy of Geng Metal, he could find the Gold-Devouring Spirit Butterfly he needed back then.
So, during our casual conversation, I asked Wu Tianhao about that place.

In this way, I learned a lot of information from the other party.

It is said that the environment in Golden Wind Valley is extremely harsh.
The vast valley basin, stretching for thousands of miles, is constantly swept by winds. Furthermore, a trace of Geng metal energy rising from the underground mineral veins mixes within it, greatly amplifying the power of the overwhelming storm airflow, giving it a terrifying ability to corrode metal and cut through bones.

Even cultivators with magical powers and spiritual light protecting them cannot stay in the valley for long.

The harsh environment made the place deserted and lifeless.

Even though its unique geographical environment has led to the formation of numerous spiritual mineral deposits in its underground veins,
However, no one occupied that place and made it their family's legacy.

Apart from a few poor, independent cultivators, not many cultivators would venture to that place to explore.

Only one,

Some cultivation forces simply established outposts in places outside the valley where the winds, mixed with the metal element, couldn't reach.
It simply provides a place for independent cultivators to rest and explore within Golden Wind Valley.

This could be described as a remote and barren place.

Unfortunately, a series of events involving the mid-to-late stages of the Out-of-Body Realm occurred one after another.
Even now, with the area now a major rear base, a large number of demonic cultivators are still gathering there, and some have even set traps to ambush Senior Sister Wei.

Something about this looks strange!
"Could it be that there's some secret hidden there?"

Between the lightning and flint,

A thought flashed through Shen Changchuan's mind.

However, he also knew that the situation was urgent and he could not afford to delay any longer.

After a little thought,
Shen Changchuan then took out a communication talisman, used his divine sense to record the information he had heard from Tang Yuncheng into it, and then activated it, letting it escape into the void and fly towards the direction of the Desolate City.

"I have already sent a message to the Wilderness City about this matter, but this place is not close to the Wilderness City. Even if the Wilderness City receives the news and comes to support us, it will take several days."

"The situation with Senior Sister Wei might be bad. Take me there first and help her out, just in case something unexpected happens!"

Shen Changchuan said solemnly.

Six years ago,
Master and most of the senior brothers and sisters of the sect set off to conquer the Southern Yue Kingdom.

At that time, the main force left to guard the sect in Tiannan Region was him and Senior Sister Wei Yuting.

In the three years that followed, he was able to stay in Dawan Village to cultivate and practice the secret arts of Gu Dao, eventually reaching the second level, largely thanks to the care of Senior Sister Wei.

To avoid having trivial matters interfere with her cultivation, she took on many of the minor tasks that should have been handled by the head of the Enforcement Hall.
I will only be notified to set out on a mission if it is a truly important matter that requires my personal involvement and involves the Astral Projection Realm.

The care involved

Although Senior Sister Wei didn't say it,
But Shen Changchuan could feel the care from the other party.

Now I hear he's in trouble.
How could Shen Changchuan stand idly by?

Immediately,
Shen Changchuan had already made the decision to go and provide support.

"Ah, Senior Brother Shen, this..."

Shen Changchuan's words,

This startled Tang Yuncheng, who looked astonished.

He hesitated for a moment, then stammered:

"That Senior Brother Shen, Senior Sister Wei is a powerful cultivator at the seventh level of the Nascent Soul stage. The one who could entangle her must also be a powerful cultivator at the late Nascent Soul stage. Should we wait for reinforcements from the Wilderness City to arrive before making a decision?"

It wasn't that Tang Yuncheng was cold-hearted and disregarded the danger that Wei, who was covering their retreat, was in.

The difference in combat strength is truly too great.
With those two more around, they'd probably just be sending people to their deaths.

after all,

To force Senior Sister Wei, who is at the seventh level of the Nascent Soul stage, to unleash her power, one would have to be a demonic cultivator at least at the same seventh level!

And the one in front of us,
Although he is a renowned genius in the Tiannan Region, he is undoubtedly the number one among the younger generation.

In just a few short years, he broke through several realms in succession, advancing to the fourth level of the Nascent Soul stage at the tender age of twenty, reaching a level that many people could only dream of achieving in their entire lives. But no matter how talented he was...

Three years ago, he was only at the fourth level of the Nascent Soul stage.

Such cultivation level, when facing powerful enemies at the seventh level of the Nascent Soul stage, or even possibly those above it...

What does it even amount to?
Although Tang Yuncheng was not a true cultivator at the Nascent Soul stage,

But he also knew that
There is an enormous gap between the fourth and seventh levels of the Out-of-Body stage!

This gap,

It is much greater than the peak of the ninth level of Qi Induction and the Nascent Soul Realm!

"Don't worry, I'll just take a look from afar first, and then act when the time is right. I won't act impulsively."

Shen Changchuan glanced at him and roughly understood what the other was thinking.
But he did not offer any explanation.

He was also someone who valued his life.
Of course, I wouldn't just go and throw my life away for nothing.

He dares to go.
They have their own confidence.

It's not just the confidence that comes from now that he's reached the peak of the sixth level of the Nascent Soul stage;

As early as three years ago,
Since he gained the favor and training of his master, You Longzi,

The other party then gave him some extremely precious items to save his life.

What life-saving items are there?

Even if an accident occurs,
There is also something to rely on.

of course,

Those life-saving items are extremely precious, and they are basically all disposable.

It’s gone once you use it up.

Therefore,
If you can avoid using it, it's best to avoid it.

That's all.

He no longer needed to explain to Tang Yuncheng.

"Let's go."

"Get there as soon as possible and check the situation."

Shen Changchuan called out,
Tang Yuncheng opened his mouth, but ultimately said nothing more.

Feeling helpless, he had no choice but to point the way ahead.

Just at this time,

His heart was filled with worry.

Hopefully, this Senior Brother Shen is calm enough and really just wants to take a look from afar, as he said.

otherwise,

That's probably the end of it.
at the same time,

In the Golden Wind Valley,

A fierce wind, carrying the energy of metal, swept across the heavens and earth.
Looking around,

Everything was a hazy, earthy yellow.

In this world swept by a ochre-colored storm,
In a mountain valley,
The surrounding cliffs, constantly eroded by winds that seem like solid blades, are as sharp and jagged as if carved by a knife.
In the ravines below the canyon

A golden light curtain rose from the magic circle, like a golden mountain, covering an area the size of a basketball court on the ground.

Wei Yuting sat cross-legged inside the semi-transparent golden mountain, holding an array plate in her hands, guiding the power of the surrounding array flags to resist the impact of the external storm.
And several dark figures outside were constantly casting spells to bombard the golden mountain light barrier.

"No wonder. It turns out that this place is a buried ruin!"

Wei Yuting's gaze did not fall on the figures who were constantly bombarding the array's light barrier.
Through the gap between them,
I saw a distorted space at the end of the canyon not far away, reflecting a pale white light.
