Chapter 1164: [(866)] The Key to Opening the Life Valve (First Update, Vote for Monthly Pass)

At the entrance of Liyue Mountain.

Seeing the traces of explosion at the scene, Yu Long’s complexion immediately turned gloomy.

“Dammit, we’re too late. At least five or six groups have already gone in.”

Lin Xiawei’s gaze was solemn: “Tell Tang Lu, sealing off the entire Liyue Mountain is probably futile, there are quite a few people nearby.”

Yu Long suddenly lifted his head to look around.

Deathly silence pervaded the surrounding woods.

Faint laughter seemed to be carrying through the air.

“The young lady can sense our presence, quite the skillful feat… Since that’s the case, let’s lay our cards on the table. The inheritance of the Nine Ice Ascendant belongs to those with virtue. Even if you are from Eternal Night, you can’t break the rules of the martial world.”

Upon these words, Eternal Night’s people present all felt an invisible pressure surging in their hearts.

Yu Long’s face turned ugly, and he twisted his head to look at Lin Xiawei.

Lin Xiawei’s gaze was calm, and she extended her hand, as a Short Blade materialized from thin air. She spoke word by word: “You’re right, it belongs to those with virtue. But you… what are you worth?”

With a “hum” sound.

A streak of silver light shot out.

It began to spin on its own.

It was at this moment that Yu Long realized a net of formation had been quietly spread out above them.

“Chaotically, this guy speaks of greatness, but is actually making a sneak attack, such a hypocritical dog!”

Yu Long immediately cursed loudly.

A muffled grunt came from the woods.

The silver light flew back into Lin Xiawei’s hand, her expressionless face retrieved the Short Blade, “To desire the inheritance, rely on one’s own skills. If anyone is blind to this, don’t blame me for turning hostile!”

After speaking, she walked toward the entrance.

A moment of silence took over the woods.

Yu Long harrumphed coldly, looking towards the forest behind him.

Just thinking of the formation net that emerged above his head, if it were not for Lin Xiawei, he might already be trapped by someone.

“Mad, these damn curs, too much face for them!”

He cursed under his breath.

Then quickly followed Lin Xiawei inside.

But he was suddenly stopped.

“There are traces of the Fireburst Formation at the entrance, be careful. Walk along the footprints on the ground,” Lin Xiawei reminded him.

Yu Long immediately broke out into a cold sweat again.

“What is with all these traps in this damn place!!!”

The remnants of the Fireburst Formation in the darkness were like evil spirits under the night sky, whimpering with the cold wind, waiting for some unfortunate souls.

…

Inside True Ice Tower.

The woman in the black dress made her move and killed a Fierce Beast lurking in the dark. Had it not been injured earlier, it might have actually required some effort.

“There’s some noise ahead…” Wei Donglai spoke weakly.

However, neither Pei Jinye nor the woman in the black dress paid attention to him. He could hear it, so could the other two with stronger capabilities.

The three of them rushed ahead quickly.

They then saw the Ye Xing Shusheng Liu Feiyu fighting with a coquettish, chubby man with a green earring hanging from his left ear.

“Hmph, Liu Feiyu, do you think you can trap me? I’ll soon let you know your foolishness!” The flamboyant fat man was cornered, but he remained arrogantly defiant.

Liu Feiyu’s lips held a smile: “Brother Zhu, as confident as ever.”

But before he finished speaking.

He swiftly released a blindingly brilliant streak of black light from his hand, shooting out like lightning.

The flamboyant fat man was startled, hastily dodging in shock and anger, but the black light was so fast that it passed through his heart in a blink.

Wei Donglai, witnessing this scene, was so scared that he recoiled.

That coquettish man had at least Cave Heaven Level strength. He didn’t even manage to let out a scream before he lay dead on the ground.

He sharply inhaled a breath of cool air and instinctively retreated.

Pei Jinye’s gaze also turned solemn.

His look towards Liu Feiyu carried deeper implications.

He was now fully on guard against this man.

The man who had previously wielded the Giant Sword had shown fear of this person. Although he was not sure how that man had died, there was no need for curiosity at the moment.

That move just now… Pei Jinye was not confident he could withstand it.

Liu Feiyu yanked off the flamboyant fat man’s Storage Bag from his waist and laughed heartily. When he turned his head back to look at the three women in black dresses, he scrutinized them for a moment.

Afterwards, he earnestly looked at the budding flower not far away and said without turning his head, “I will take this Three-colored Spirit Flower. Please make it easy for me and go look elsewhere.”

The woman in the black dress remained silent.

She turned her head to look at Pei Jinye.

Pei Jinye shook his head slightly.

It was not wise to engage in combat at this moment.

He wasn’t particularly concerned about the life of the woman in the black dress, the key point was that without this woman’s escort along the way, he truly might have been crushed like an ant by others.

The woman in the black dress snorted coldly, somewhat displeased.

But she was somewhat eager for the inheritance of the Nine Ice Ascendant.

Moreover, Liu Feiyu was very strong… If it were outside, she would still be confident.

But now… there were many concerns.

Seeing the three people leaving, Liu Feiyu let out a slight sigh of relief, then focused his eyes to wait for the Three-colored Spirit Flower to bloom.

…

“What is a Three-colored Spirit Flower?” Pei Jinye whispered.

“You don’t know? Aren’t you an alchemist?” The woman in the black dress looked at him skeptically.

Pei Jinye replied helplessly, “I’m not Baidu.”

“Baidu?” The woman in the black dress didn’t know who that was but gave him a meaningful look without saying anything.

“It seems someone is just as clueless as I am.”

No sooner had Pei Jinye finished speaking than he was met with a piercing gaze.

It was Wei Donglai who cautiously said, “I once saw a description of the Three-colored Spirit Flower in an ancient book. It’s a magical flower greatly beneficial to the God Soul. It has three colors. Eating one type alone is useless, but if you blend the three types together and consume them, it may allow a Cloud Sky Level Cultivator the chance to open their Life Valve.”

Upon hearing this, Pei Jinye’s heart skipped a beat.

Life Valve?

This was the first time he had heard the concept of Life Valve in this world.

“Only Cloud Sky Level Cultivators have a chance to open the Life Valve?”

Before Wei Donglai could respond, the woman in the black dress scoffed, “It seems you really don’t understand anything, do you?”

Pei Jinye wasn’t annoyed, “I focus solely on Matrix control, so naturally I know less about other matters.”

The woman in the black dress stared thoughtfully at his expression, then coldly huffed: “It’s not necessary for only Cloud Sky Level Cultivators to be able to open Life Valves. Generally, only when one reaches the Cloud Sky Level does one’s physical constitution reach a state of saturation. If there are geniuses who can enter this saturated state earlier, they too can open their Life Valve ahead of time… Only by opening a Life Valve can one qualify to break through the Cloud Sky Level.”

She rarely said so much at once.

Wei Donglai didn’t dare to interject from the sidelines.

Pei Jinye, however, took note of this information on the inside.

After the Stellar Level comes the Cave Heaven Level, and after Cave Heaven is the Cloud Sky Level.

What comes after Cloud Sky?

He looked at the woman in the black dress, and seeing that she was indifferent, he did not pursue the matter further.

“Many more people are coming.” The woman in the black dress suddenly changed her expression and urged, “Hurry and break the Formation ahead.”

“Let me do it. I’m more familiar with this place,” Wei Donglai volunteered.

The woman in the black dress indifferently nodded.

Pei Jinye also stepped aside.

Wei Donglai suppressed the excitement in his heart and went to the Formation in front, extending his hand to quickly apply Dharma Seals. After a while, he hastily said, “Lend me the Black Nightmare Token for a moment.”

Upon hearing this, Pei Jinye’s eyes narrowed slightly.
