Douluo Continent: Sword Named Star, Slaying Gods to Prove the Dao

Ning Xingchen said, "Okay, but we can't send too many people. I'll take A Yin and Er Long with me. Five people in total should be about right."

Ning Xingchen could have gone by himself, but now he can't obtain any inheritance. The Rakshasa God has really harmed people a lot; this is definitely an enmity for obstructing the path.

Even if Medicine God Valley has a legacy, he most likely won't be able to inherit it. So, by bringing Ning Dingling and Ah Yin along, he'll have a chance to compete for that legacy.

Of course, it's possible that it won't happen, and it might be a wasted trip, but Ning Xingchen is still willing to give it a try.

It's a pity he couldn't get the Vast Ocean Universe Cover to recognize him as its master, otherwise he would definitely have led everyone to Seagod Island.

Therefore, the only option now is to go to Medicine God Valley as a second choice.

……

Three days later!

Ning Xingchen and his group of seven set off from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School together, in a carriage and on horseback.

Those riding in the carriage were naturally Ning Dingling, A Yin, and Liu Erlong, with Ning Xingchen becoming the honorable carriage driver.

Ah Yin's soul power has now reached level 61 and entered the mature stage, so it's quite safe for her to go out, as long as she doesn't run into Tang Hao and Tang Xiao.

Even Liu Erlong, who has the lowest soul power, is at level 56, Ning Dingling is at level 64, and Sword Douluo, who has reached level 95 and possesses two soul bones, is also at level 96.

Even if they encounter Tianlang Douluo again, they will not be afraid, and may even kill him.

"Star, your disguise is quite good. Even I can't tell your true identity," said Sword Douluo.

At this moment, in front of Sword Douluo, Ning Xingchen looked like a middle-aged man in his thirties, a disguise different from before.

“Uncle Jian, it’s best to be careful when you’re out and about. Some people have seen my true face, and I’m worried about causing trouble,” Ning Xingchen said.

"Are you talking about the remnants of the Iron Wolf Mercenary Group, or that Wolf Douluo? I hope I can meet him," said Sword Douluo.

This Sirius Douluo has caused great harm to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and is currently the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's greatest enemy.

Unfortunately, the whereabouts of this Sirius Douluo are unpredictable, and few people on the continent know his name.

The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School has been searching for its whereabouts for years, but even with the school's powerful intelligence network, they have been unable to obtain any information about it.

This time, the purpose of the trip was clear, and the journey was mostly smoother than when Ning Xingchen was traveling alone.

From Tiandou City to Yunwu City in the Xingluo Empire, this place is only a little over 400 kilometers away from Xingluo City, the capital of the Xingluo Empire.

Outside Cloud Mist City lies the Cloud Mist Mountain Range, a mountain range perpetually shrouded in mist and also a small forest of soul beasts.

The map left in the interlayer of the Medicine God Record provided a clue. After looking at the map, Ning Xingchen located Medicine God Valley in the Cloud Mist Mountains.

Fortunately, the Yunwu Mountain Range is not particularly large, only stretching for three or four hundred kilometers.

If you can't find it in one day, then two days; if you can't find it in two days, then three days. Ning Xingchen has a map; as long as he searches carefully, he won't have to worry about not finding it.

On their first day in the Rain Mist Mountains, Sword Douluo and Ning Xingchen flew around the Rain Mist Mountains at high speed.

As soon as the two landed, Ning Dingling asked, "How did it go? Did you get anything?"

Sword Douluo shook his head and said, "The Cloud Mist Mountains are completely covered by thick fog, making it no more difficult than finding the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye back then."

Ning Dingling said, "When you went out, we also asked about the situation of the Cloud and Mist Mountains. It is said that there was no fog here a long time ago, and it appeared later."

"Although this Cloud Mist Forest is not large, few Soul Masters choose to enter it to search for Soul Rings due to the fog. The danger level inside is ten times that of an ordinary Soul Beast Forest."

"Even when choosing a spirit ring, people will do so on the outskirts of the Cloud Mist Forest. After all, the fog layer is thinner on the outskirts, so people only look for spirit rings from hundred-year-old spirit beasts. No one looks for spirit rings from thousand-year-old spirit beasts here."

"It is said that there are a great many ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts inside, and there are even rumors that there are hundred-thousand-year-old soul beasts inside."

This was the information Ning Dingling had gathered; everything they heard indicated that entering the Cloud Mist Mountains was extremely dangerous.

After listening to Ning Dingling's words, Ning Xingchen smiled.

"What are you laughing at?" Ning Dingling asked curiously.

"Actually, I've already confirmed the approximate location. Just follow me."

After Ning Xingchen finished speaking, he released the Star Sword.

Then the Star Sword was enlarged several times over.

"Ah Yin, Er Long, I've come to pick you up."

"They're not taking me with them, are they?" Ning Dingling muttered, and mounted the Seven Kill Sword of Sword Douluo.

It was difficult for Sword Douluo to see clearly in the Cloud Mist Mountains, but for Ning Xingchen, after releasing the Eye of Stars, the clouds and mist were like decorations, and he could see everything below clearly.

After consulting the map, Ning Xingchen determined the approximate location.

Is it dangerous to walk through a misty forest?

Why not just fly over the destination and airdrop down? What difficulty could that be?

Above the Cloud Mist Mountains, Ning Xingchen activated the Eye of the Stars, gaining a panoramic view of the entire landscape below.

Not bad, there's actually an 80,000-year-old soul beast.

There's also one that's 90,000 years old.

It seems what outsiders said was true; the soul beast resources here are excellent, much better than those in Sunset Forest.

The map was already imprinted in Ning Xingchen's mind; it was also a canyon.

I searched for a long time but couldn't find any canyon on the map.

"Star, can we find it?" Ning Dingling asked from not far away.

"Sis, wait a minute, let me take another look."

Ning Xingchen looked down again. There were two mountain peaks, several hundred meters apart, but they looked very much like the ones depicted on the map.

Wait a minute, these two mountain peaks should be a canyon, the Medicine God Valley, so why isn't there a canyon in the middle?

"Let me double-check." Ning Xingchen controlled the Star Sword and flew around the two mountain peaks for a long time.

The Eye of the Stars is activated.

No, something's not right where these two mountain peaks connect; it doesn't look like a natural connection.

There must be something fishy going on here.

After searching for half an hour, Ning Xingchen finally had some clues.

"Sister, come with me."

After Ning Xingchen finished speaking, he controlled the Star Sword to descend rapidly.

Finally, he landed between two mountain peaks. Ning Xingchen now understood why he couldn't find Medicine God Valley: it was covered by a huge formation.

As the five landed together, Sword Douluo noticed something amiss.

"Formation," Sword Douluo whispered.

However, at that moment, a rustling sound came from all around.

Right in front of the five people, countless vines gathered and began to close. These vines were also somewhat unusual, as they were like crystals.

Ning Xingchen was able to sense that these vines contained stellar energy.

There aren't many soul beasts with stellar energy attributes, yet there's one right in front of us.

Moreover, it didn't seem to be mentioned in the books he had seen; it appeared to be a completely new soul beast.

Just then, the crystal vines spread out, and the starlight-like leaves refracted each other, creating a space that trapped Ning Xingchen and the others inside.

"Humans, welcome to my territory. I know what you want to do, but before that, you must get out of my Starry Labyrinth."

Ning Xingchen was somewhat puzzled; wasn't he here to find Medicine God Valley?

As a result, you get a Star attribute, and it's a 100,000-year-old Soul Beast, or even more than 100,000 years old.

Medicine God Valley is indeed not so easy to enter. How could someone who can become a god be an ordinary person? They must have some tricks up their sleeve.

"Let's all stay together and try not to get separated," Ning Xingchen said.

At the same time, Sword Douluo was also searching for an exit using his mental energy, but no matter how much his mental energy traveled, he still couldn't find a way out.

"Phew... I just used my mental power to explore this maze. It's really strange. Just when I think I'm about to find the exit, I find that I've gone the wrong way again."

"Since we can't get out, we might as well just break through the maze," Sword Douluo said in a low voice.

Since the rules weren't working, Sword Douluo decided to break them.

With enough power, there is no maze that cannot be broken; this is the power to overcome all laws.

The Seven Kill Sword was drawn and pierced directly into the maze wall ahead.

With a thud, the Seven Kill Sword was bounced back, and the maze wall was completely undamaged.

"Okay, let's try this one."

Sword Douluo seems to have a grudge against this maze. This time, he actually used his Martial Soul True Body directly, and a huge Seven Kill Sword slammed into the crystal-like maze wall.

This time it was quite effective; a hole as big as a bucket was blasted into the maze wall, but it only lasted for a moment, only two or three seconds, before returning to its original state.

"Very good. You actually managed to break through my defenses. You are the first one in the last two thousand years."

"What kind of soul beast are you?" Liu Erlong, who hadn't spoken for a long time, couldn't help but ask.

"If you can break through some of the defenses, you are qualified to know my name. I am the last Star River Heavenly Net Vine on this continent, and I am only a few hundred years away from the three hundred thousand years."

On the mainland, "100,000-year-old soul beast" is just a general term. For most soul masters, 100,000 years is already the limit, let alone soul beasts that are more than 100,000 years old.

"She has actually cultivated for over two hundred thousand years," Ah Yin exclaimed in amazement. Only a soul beast could understand what this number of years represented.

"No wonder its defense is so strong!" Sword Douluo exclaimed.

"So you should just go through the maze. You won't be able to break through my maze defenses, because I've already reinforced them again."

"Oh right, I forgot to tell you, you are the 571st to 575th humans to have arrived here. The number of people who have successfully navigated the maze so far... is zero!"

"Good luck to you," Xinghe Tianluo Teng said.

Ning Xingchen and his colleagues were dumbfounded. What was this all about?

No one can get through this maze.

Ning Xingchen asked, "What if we fail? What will happen to us then?"

“If no one has ever tried to get out, then we won’t be able to. I don’t want to be constantly disturbed by humans,” said Xinghe Tianluo Teng.

The meaning is clear: if you can't get through, you'll only face death.
