Jiaogu is a celestial body that resembles a valley, floating in the void of space.

It is about 100,000 li long and 30,000 li wide, but the interior is a different world, and its true size is far greater than what is seen in front of us.

At the entrance to Jiao Valley stands a black temple, whose master is Kong Hai, the divine general sent by Tiannan Life and Death Ruins to guard this place.

The God of the Sky Sea is only a false god, but because he is backed by the Southern Life and Death Ruins, he can stand on equal footing with the true gods.

Instead of taking Yuan Qianmo to the temple, Yuan Dingchu sent him directly to the entrance of Jiaogu Valley.

Standing outside the entrance to Jiao Valley, Yuan Qianmo felt an extremely strong sense of oppression, even stronger than that of Yuan Dingchu, which was definitely not something a demigod could leave behind.

"It should be a method left behind by that seventh master of the Tiannan Life and Death Ruins," Yuan Qianmo guessed.

Transforming the immortal body left behind by a demigod into a secret realm is not particularly astonishing. What is truly terrifying upon closer examination is the rules governing this secret realm.

Only monks below the rank of Saint are allowed to enter.

This rule is not achieved by the divine general Konghai who sits in the temple, but by the divine runes and inscriptions hidden outside the secret realm.

The Tiannan Life and Death Ruins are renowned throughout the world for their spiritual power. Including Qingzu and his disciples, they are all spiritual power cultivators. In the path of spiritual power, they can be said to be unparalleled in the Hell Realm, with only Yama's Outer Heaven being comparable to them.

"I wonder if the Primordial Fate Disc can simulate what will happen on my journey." This thought suddenly arose in Yuan Qianmo's mind.

I checked my current fate value: 107 points.

Because we simulated it twice before, there wasn't much left.

Fortunately, the trip to Jiaogu shouldn't take too long.

[New simulation loading... Loading successful...]

[At age 19: You listened to the Great Sage Eating Star preach and realized the transformation between life and death, which caused the vital energy and death energy in your body to clash. Only by cultivating the Dao Embryo of Life and Death can this hidden danger be resolved once and for all.]

You heeded the advice of the Primal God and decided to venture into the Scorched Valley to participate in the trials, hoping to obtain the ultimate reward, the 'Sacred Wood Essence'.

[At age 19: You stepped into the Scorched Valley and fell into the 'Thorn Demon Plain,' one of the six most dangerous places. With your powerful strength, you broke through and overcame all dangers, and soon approached the location of the 'Sacred Wood Essence.']

The ultimate test of the trial was dealing with the corpse of a Holy King who was left only with the instinct to kill. You used the three ancient paths to deal with it and finally succeeded in passing the trial.

Just as you were about to collect the 'Sacred Wood Essence', an unexpected event occurred. The 'Sacred Wood Essence', which should have been unconscious, suddenly unleashed power comparable to that of a high-level saint and escaped from your grasp.

You keenly sensed that some unknown change had occurred within the Scorched Valley, causing the 'Sacred Wood Essence' to mutate and transform into a Primordial Wood Spirit.

"The essence of the sacred wood has become a primordial wood spirit?" A glint flashed in Yuan Qianmo's eyes.

The innate spirit is a being born naturally over a long period of time, formed from the convergence of the primordial essence of heaven and earth, containing the purest power within its body.

A primordial wood spirit born from the essence of a sacred wood that is a demigod is extremely rare among primordial spirits, and its value is several times higher than that of a single sacred wood essence.

"What changes have occurred within Jiao Valley that would cause the Sacred Wood Essence to develop sentience and transform into a Primordial Wood Spirit?" Yuan Qianmo wondered. "Are General Konghai and the Seven Great Ones aware of this change?"

The life essence within the innate wood spirit is even purer than the essence of the sacred wood. In terms of cultivating the Dao Embryo of Life and Death, it should be comparable to the heart of the divine wood.

"If I can capture this innate wood spirit, my chances of cultivating the Dao Embryo of Life and Death will be much greater."

Yuan Qianmo continued watching with anticipation.

[At 19: You relentlessly pursued the Innate Wood Spirit, and after a fierce battle, successfully subdued it. Overjoyed, you chose to leave Jiao Valley, but in doing so, you missed the true opportunity in the inner world.]

"The real opportunity in the inner world?" Yuan Qianmo was very surprised.

Jiao Valley is a trial ground left behind by the Seven Great Masters of Tiannan. As one of the trial grounds for selecting disciples in the Tiannan Life and Death Ruins, it is not surprising that there are hidden opportunities there.

"Jiaogu is a training ground left to half-saints by the Tiannan Life and Death Ruins. With my current cultivation level, even if some unforeseen changes occur, passing the test and obtaining the reward should not be difficult. But what exactly is the true opportunity within this inner world?"

Yuan Qianmo became interested in the opportunity of this inner world. When he came, he was puzzled. Why would a pseudo-god personally guard a secret realm that was transformed by the immortal body of a demigod?

Now it seems that the root of the problem lies here.

He did not continue the simulation. He didn't have much fate value left, and he could foresee that he would still need the help of the Primordial Fate Disc after entering the Scorched Valley.

[This simulation has ended]

Current Destiny Points: 97

[This simulation was too short, triggering the safety net mechanism. A single simulation cannot exceed ten years; calculation will be based on a ten-year period.]

You have successfully obtained the Innate Wood Spirit in the Scorched Valley, creating the necessary conditions for cultivating the Life and Death Dao Embryo. You can choose one of the following rewards:

A sword move that the Sword Saint accidentally comprehended.

The innate sacred technique of the Wood Spirit

A Reflection on the Life Path of a Semi-Sacred Wood

"There's even a guaranteed minimum?" Yuan Qianmo was somewhat dissatisfied. This simulation would only last for one or two months at most, and consuming ten points of Destiny Points seemed like a bad deal.

"However, it's not a loss to obtain the secret that there is a great opportunity hidden in Jiao Valley. At worst, we can just simulate for a full ten years next time."

After looking at the three rewards, Yuan Qianmo did not hesitate and chose the Life Dao Enlightenment of the Half-Sacred Wood.

The simulation was too short, and the rewards given by the Primordial Destiny Disc were significantly worse.

Yuan Qianmo memorized the key points of the simulation, glanced at the direction of the temple in the distance, and then set off to enter the entrance of Jiao Valley.

Upon entering, Yuan Qianmo felt dizzy and the world spun around him, his feet turning into boundless darkness—the power of space.

In the blink of an eye, the darkness vanished, the spatial fluctuations subsided, and his figure appeared on a black plain.

The plain looked desolate, seemingly devoid of any life.

But when he activated his Origin God Eye, the scene before him changed, and a hidden aura was constantly approaching him from underground.

He is a Primal Cultivator, and also a Divine Embryo of Life and Death. He possesses a pair of divine eyes, which, after merging with the Primal Dao, transform into Primal Divine Eyes, capable of seeing through most of the world's pretense and illusion.

As if sensing that it had been discovered, the aura from underground surged out of the ground, revealing itself to be a black vine. After appearing, it transformed into a humanoid figure, but its limbs still retained the characteristics of a vine. Instead of hair, countless thin vines grew from its head. Judging from its aura, it was actually a seventh-order half-saint.

"May I ask who you are, what brings you here, and why you have trespassed into the territory of my Demon Vine Clan?" The vine creature spoke cautiously, sensing that Yuan Qianmo's aura was powerful and not to be trifled with.

Before coming, Yuan Qianmo had already learned about the general situation in Jiao Valley, and knew that there were six dangerous places in Jiao Valley, and each dangerous place was inhabited by a dangerous tribe.

The Demon Vine Clan is the overlord of the 'Thorn Demon Plain', one of the six perilous lands. They are bloodthirsty by nature and belong to a type of ferocious plant. It is said that 100,000 years ago, they were a clan with gods in charge, but they were wiped out because they offended the Six Great Masters of Tiannan. The remaining clan members were imprisoned in various secret realms.

"I come from beyond the heavens. According to your terms, I should be called an extraterrestrial demon. What, you didn't recognize me?" Yuan Qianmo smiled faintly, using his finger as a sword, and raised his hand to slash.

Outsiders entering Jiao Valley all carry special fluctuations that do not belong to this world. In the eyes of the native creatures of Jiao Valley, they are like lighthouses at sea or pearls in the night, impossible for them not to notice.

The Demon Vine Clan member in front of them was clearly just stalling for time.
