Wu Shattered Star River

As the time for the opening of Undying Valley approached, more and more people gathered in Undying City.

It was said that over two hundred Longevity Fruits would ripen this time, and another hundred Dao Fruits were also said to be ripening.

Both Longevity Fruits and Dao Fruits were extremely rare treasures of heaven and earth.

Longevity Fruits were the ultimate treasures dreamed of by all women, capable of maintaining eternal youth. Lu Feixian had taken Longevity Fruit, and at fifty or sixty years old, she still looked like a young girl.

It was said that Dao Fruits contained the Dao rhythm of heaven and earth, and consuming them offered a chance to comprehend some Great Dao Laws. This was similar to refining profound materials, allowing warriors to awaken divine powers naturally.

After the Heaven-Human Realm, the most important aspect of a warrior's cultivation was comprehending the Great Dao Laws. Consuming Dao Fruits allowed one to comprehend these laws naturally, so one could imagine how precious such treasures were.

Both Longevity Fruits and Dao Fruits were priceless. Even if someone wanted to sell them, ordinary warriors wouldn't have a chance; they would be snatched up by super forces.

Therefore, despite the danger of Undying Valley, with a survival rate of less than one in ten, countless warriors still came to take a gamble.

Many warriors held a侥幸心理 (jiǎo xìng xīn lǐ - fluke mentality), hoping to be among the one in ten who survived out of the ten thousand who entered…

Because a large number of geniuses and monstrous talents had gone to Heavenly Chaos Island, not many came this time.

However, many major forces in the Nine Provinces Continent still sent disciples, just not top-tier monstrous talents.

According to Qian Yuan's investigation, there were only three known geniuses and monstrous talents, all ranked in the top twenty on the Nine Provinces Prodigy List.

Shan Yu, Wang Meng, and Sun Yumeng.

These three were all scions of dominant-level forces. Among them, Shan Yu was the strongest, ranked fourth on the Nine Provinces Prodigy List, and was the grandson of Shan Tianding, the Grand Elder of the dominant-level force, Wind and Moon Pavilion.

“Investigate further!”

Jiang Han instructed Qian Yuan to investigate further, not believing that Azure Clothes Palace wouldn't send anyone. Now that he had exposed his whereabouts, how could Azure Clothes Palace miss such a good opportunity?

Two more days passed, and with only three days left until the opening of Undying Valley, Qian Yuan finally obtained accurate information. Azure Clothes Palace had indeed sent someone.

Mi Xi, the Young Palace Master of the Soul Palace of Azure Clothes Palace, had secretly arrived in Undying City with twelve Heaven-Human Realm experts. They had been lying low, so they were only discovered today.

“Mi Xi!”

Jiang Han frowned as he reviewed the information Qian Yuan had collected.

Before the disciples of the two palaces of Azure Clothes Palace emerged from the mountains, their information was strictly confidential. Many disciples within the palace didn't even know. The information Qian Yuan collected about Mi Xi wasn't particularly detailed.

All that was known was that she was twenty-three or twenty-four years old this year and had been brought into Azure Clothes Palace twenty years ago, becoming the personal disciple of the current Soul Palace Master.

“Her cultivation is conservatively estimated to be at the Heaven-Human Realm, she possesses powerful soul techniques, and her beauty is no less than that of Chunyu Yan… What kind of information is this?”

Jiang Han was speechless as he looked through it.

This information was practically useless. Even a fool would know that the Young Palace Master of the Soul Palace would at least be in the Heaven-Human Realm. If the Soul Palace didn't study soul techniques, what would they study, charm techniques?

Appearance… She was his mortal enemy, what did beauty or ugliness have to do with him?

Qian Yuan was a little embarrassed. Jiang Han waved his hand, not making things difficult for him, and told him to continue investigating other information.

Two more days passed, and more news came back.

Ning Xie and Ye Luo had arrived!

Although they were disguised, they had only entered the city today, but they were still discovered. Each of them led nine Heaven-Human Realm experts.

“Ning Xie, Ye Luo, ha ha!”

Jiang Han's eyes turned cold, and his killing intent couldn't be concealed. The purpose of these two bringing people here was self-evident; they were both coming for him.

Mi Xi brought twelve Heaven-Human Realm experts, so the three forces together had thirty-three Heaven-Human Realm experts. As for whether other forces were involved, it was unknown.

“Very good!”

A cold expression appeared on Jiang Han's face. Ye Luo and Ning Xie had escaped from Black Shark Island last time, and he had almost killed Ning Xie on Crouching Dragon Mountain. Now that the two of them wanted to fight him to the death, he would definitely not let them go if he had the chance.

Tomorrow, they would enter Undying Valley. Those who were coming should have arrived. Jiang Han didn't think too much, told Qian Yuan to leave, and went to sleep, conserving his energy for entering the valley tomorrow.

The next day, as soon as dawn broke, Undying City became noisy. At least 300,000 people had gathered in the central square of Undying City, a black mass stretching as far as the eye could see.

This square was extremely large, but with 300,000 people gathered together, it was still a bit crowded, making it extremely shocking.

Jiang Han arrived here with Qian Yuan and the others. He didn't wear a mask; his identity had already been exposed, so there was no need to wear one.

With Qian Yuan by his side, anyone with a brain could guess his identity.

“So many people… Are they all entering Undying Valley?” Jiang Han glanced around and looked at Qian Yuan beside him.

Qian Yuan shook his head and said, “No, many people probably came to watch the excitement, but at least 150,000 people will enter this time, and it may even reach 200,000.”

“Are they all crazy!”

Jiang Han glanced around and shook his head slightly.

Most of the people in the square were young, with more men than women. Many young people were full of excitement and joy. It seemed that entering Undying Valley would allow them to ascend to the heavens in one step, to become immortals…

Qian Yuan had said that the more people who entered, the more who died.

Moreover, most of the people here had very low cultivation levels, many still in the Profound Nether Realm. Mountain and Sea Realm experts accounted for about 30%, Reincarnation Realm were even fewer, at most only 10%, and there were probably no more than 300 Heaven-Human Realm experts.

Most of these young men and women would be buried in Undying Valley, turning into corpses and skeletons, forever remaining inside Undying Valley.

“Why doesn’t the Undying Palace limit the number of warriors entering?”

Jiang Han asked in a low voice. They were all young talents of the human race. Wasn't it said that the three races were colluding? Was the human race perhaps facing a great calamity?

Letting so many people in to die would damage the vitality of the human race.

Although these hundreds of thousands of warriors were nothing compared to the vast Nine Provinces Continent, Jiang Han always felt it was very cruel…

Also, Undying Valley opened once every ten years. Every ten years, eighty or ninety thousand, or even hundreds of thousands, of young people died inside. Jiang Han didn't even dare to imagine how many skeletons were inside.

“I don’t know!”

Qian Yuan shook his head and said, “No one knows what the Undying Palace is thinking. No one dares to inquire about the affairs of immortal-level forces. Anyway, they enter voluntarily, no one forces them, and they can't blame others for dying.”

As the two chatted, Jiang Han noticed many gazes directed at him, from men and women, old men and young people.

He ignored them, standing calmly, and didn't actively investigate where Mi Xi, Ning Xie, and Ye Luo were.

After waiting for an hour, an old man in black robes flew over quickly with four people.

After arriving in the sky above, he glanced at the entire audience, pressed down with both hands, and the square quickly quieted down.

The old man didn't waste any words and said, “Undying Valley is about to open. Those willing to enter the valley, enter the teleportation array. Only those under thirty years old may enter. Those who enter the valley are responsible for their own life and death. Those who are still alive three months later will be automatically teleported out of the valley.”

“Buzz, buzz, buzz~”

The hundred sealed teleportation arrays in the square all activated at this moment.

The teleportation arrays shone brightly, like a hundred giant beast mouths opening, about to swallow countless people in the square.
