Peeping into the Immortal Road

Chapter 98 Leaving the Spiritual Land
Now that the decision has been made, the next step is to prepare to leave this sacred valley and return to Cangyu Market.

In addition to the fact that this spiritual valley is located in the Ten Thousand Mountains and is separated from the outside world, it makes it difficult for Yuan Yixiao to get in touch with the Yuan family.

In addition, although this spiritual land contains spiritual energy, the content is not abundant.

Even if a spirit gathering array was set up, the spiritual energy could only barely sustain the cultivation needs of a foundation-building cultivator.

If Ji Chang were to practice by absorbing and exhaling spiritual energy here, then Yuan Yixiao would not be able to practice.

Of course, Ji Chang currently has no foundation-building techniques, so even if he practices here, the results will certainly be extremely limited.

If you count carefully, Ji Chang and Yuan Yixiao have spent more than two years in this sacred valley.

Therefore, when Ji Chang said that he would leave tomorrow, Yuan Yixiao couldn't help but feel an inexplicable sense of uneasiness and anxiety in her heart.

For Yuan Yixiao, the two years of secluded life almost completely disconnected her from the world of immortal cultivation in Jiaozhou.

Yuan Yixiao could be said to be completely clueless about the changing situation in Jiaozhou's cultivation world.

However, when she thought of the company of Ji Chang, a foundation-building cultivator, her uneasiness gradually subsided.

With Ji Chang's protection, they should not encounter too much danger along the way unless they unfortunately meet the other three foundation-building cultivators from Jiaozhou.

But for Ji Chang, he didn't have so many worries.

In addition to the fact that Ji Chang's own strength has undergone a drastic improvement, more importantly, he has not been completely isolated from the world in the past two years.

Relying on his spying ability, Ji Chang has been able to keep abreast of the outside world and the situation in Jiaozhou's immortal cultivation world by spying on Chen Qianzhou over the past two years.

Therefore, Ji Chang has a clearer understanding of the current situation in Jiaozhou's cultivation world.

Even because the target of his spying is Chen Qianzhou, a high-ranking member of the Chen family, Ji Chang knows more about the situation in Jiaozhou's immortal cultivation world than most of the independent cultivators who are still staying in various markets.

The current situation in Jiaozhou's cultivation world is quite similar to the situation after the rise of the Chen family.

However, the situation has undergone a subversive change.

The Chen family has now switched to a defensive position, relying on the solid mountain protection formation and retreating into the Zhuyashan clan territory.

The Wang family, on the other hand, went against their norm and took the initiative to attack, firmly gaining the upper hand.

Of course, there are still significant differences between the Wang family and the Chen family.

The Wang family has been in business for hundreds of years and has a deep family heritage. It can be said that they are deeply rooted in this corner of Jiaozhou.

After the Chen family fell into trouble and was forced to retreat to Zhuya Mountain.

With just one order from the Wang family, countless cultivators responded and quickly regained control of the major immortal cultivation markets and Qi-refining families in Jiaozhou.

Except for the Xuanhe Bai family, which had already surrendered to the Taizhou Han family in the north and thus left the Jiaozhou immortal cultivation circle, the entire Jiaozhou was once again back under the control of the Wang family.

In addition, the Wang family also showed relative tolerance in its attitude towards other forces.

The Wang family only cleared out those members of the Chen family who had not fled back to Zhuya Mountain, and burned the Chen family's ancestral home, Cangling Mountain, to the ground.

As for other Qi-refining families and immortal cultivation markets, the Wang family did not carry out a large-scale purge. They only purged a small number of cultivators who had too many ties with the Chen family.

Compared with the Chen family's previous practices, the Wang family's methods are undoubtedly much milder.

Now, two years have passed, the Wang family has been almost cleaned up, and the situation in Jiaozhou's cultivation world has been stabilized for more than a year.

If Ji Chang joins the game at this time, he will not expose his cultivation level due to the chaotic situation.

……

The next day.

The early morning sun shines through the light clouds and falls into the deep valley.

Ji Chang stood at the edge of the valley, looking into the distance, ready to set off.

Yuan Yixiao was next to Ji Chang, with complex and deep light flashing in her eyes, staring at this valley where she had spent countless days and nights. She was reluctant to leave, but also worried about the future.

Originally, Yuan Yixiao planned to break through to the late stage of Qi Refining here, and then leave after a few years.

Although she has obtained the realm-breaking elixir, the Cocoon-Transforming Pill, from Ji Chang, she has not yet taken it and has not broken through to the late stage of Qi Refining.

However, since Ji Chang wanted to leave the spiritual land of the valley, Yuan Yixiao could only obey his orders and leave.

Ji Chang glanced at the valley behind him, without showing much emotion on his face.

"let's go."

Ji Chang's voice came.

Yuan Yixiao nodded and followed Ji Chang closely.

The two figures turned into two streams of light, soared into the sky, and instantly disappeared above the valley.

With their departure, this sacred valley that was once full of spiritual energy and vitality has once again regained its former tranquility and solitude.

Unlike when they came, when they left, Ji Chang was driving the magic weapon in front, while Yuan Yixiao followed behind.

Although as a foundation-building cultivator, Ji Chang already has the ability to walk in the air with his own magic power and spiritual awareness.

However, Ji Chang chose to conceal his true cultivation level, as if he was still a Qi-refining cultivator, activating the power of the Wind-controlling Boots and flying with the wind.

Just as the two of them turned into streams of light and rushed across the sky, a sharp sound of breaking wind suddenly came from the air ahead.

Yuan Yixiao immediately raised her head alertly, her pupils constricted, and saw a group of black flying beasts rushing towards her.

When these flying beasts flapped their wings, the wind howled and dark clouds rolled.

Their beaks and claws gleamed with cold light, obviously having been sharpened countless times and becoming extremely sharp.

"Golden-beaked eagle."

Yuan Yixiao recognized the monster at a glance, and her heart tightened.

The golden-beaked eagle is a common monster found on the outskirts of the Shiwan Mountains. It is considered a first-class, mid-grade monster and a social monster.

Even if a cultivator in the late Qi Refining stage encountered it, it would be extremely dangerous and he would have a chance of death.

How could this not make Yuan Yixiao nervous?

However, just as Yuan Yixiao was nervously preparing to activate the magic weapon, she suddenly stopped what she was doing.

The flock of golden-beaked eagles in front seemed to have pressed the pause button in an instant, their wings stopped flapping, and the entire flock was motionless in the air.

Then, these golden-beaked eagles fell down one after another as if controlled by an invisible force, like a golden rain of flowers falling from the sky.

This scene shocked Yuan Yixiao. She turned to look at Ji Chang, her eyes full of awe.

"Go collect the bodies."

Ji Chang didn't say much, just opened his mouth and gave an order.

Along the way, Ji Chang constantly relied on his spiritual sense to observe the surrounding environment, and he had already discovered this group of golden-beaked eagles.

It was just a first-level monster, nothing to worry about for Ji Chang.

Just by using his spiritual consciousness to shake their souls, he instantly destroyed their souls and killed them all.

However, what Ji Chang really cared about was something else.

"There are many more monsters outside the Shiwan Mountains than before."

"Hasn't Jiaozhou held a demon hunting convention in the past two years?"
