Chapter 821: Spirit Wonder Garden

"Not bad, this is indeed the gate," Marquis Lord Nanlong looked at this small stone gate, revealing a look of contemplation, but finally said with a long breath.

"The blood energy on this gate seems a bit too thick with demonic nature. Won't there be any problems?" Lu Lu Weiying watched for a while, somewhat worriedly asking. "This gate was sealed by an ancient cultivator with their entire essence blood. Naturally, it has differences from ordinary restrictions; this is a very normal thing. Why, Brother Lu, do you want to retreat now?" Marquis Lord Nanlong shifted his gaze and said indifferently.

"Retreat? Since we've already arrived here, how could Lu do such a stupid thing? However, to be on the safe side, shouldn't we be more cautious?" The old man shook his head and said solemnly.

"Since Brother Lu says so, it's not without reason. In that case, let's set up a few layers of restrictions outside the gate first. That way, even if there's any trouble, we'll have a way out," Marquis Lord Nanlong thought for a while, his expression softening as he said.

"Good, that would be best. Let's do as you say," Lu Lu Weiying nodded without hesitation, happily agreeing.

Thus, Marquis Lord Nanlong and the old man took out several sets of array deployment tools from their bodies and began to set up magic arrays at the bottom of the water pool.

But just as Marquis Lord Nanlong and the other were preparing to break the restrictions of the Blood Curse Gate, in another part of the inner valley, in a giant mountain covered with pitch-black rocks, a group of people was slowly walking toward the mountaintop.

Leading them was a middle-aged cultivator with a stern face, and beside him was an old man in a green shirt; it was the Ghost Spirit Sect Master and Wei Wei Wuya.

That Wang Wang Tiangu followed a zhang behind the two.

Behind these three, another four Ghost Spirit Sect disciples at the Core Formation stage followed closely.

"This ghost place is truly strange; such a remote place actually has a no-fly restriction set up for a hundred miles, and one can't even fly a few zhang off the ground," Wang Wang Tiangu looked at the fiery red clouds not far above his head and suddenly muttered in a low voice.

"The more this is the case, the more it shows we've found the right place. If I were an ancient cultivator, I would also set up important places in such a place. After all, after such restrictions exist, I imagine not many cultivators would be willing to walk for a day or two to get here," the Ghost Spirit Sect Master's expression didn't change, replying calmly.

"Having spent so much effort, I hope we haven't found the wrong place this time. On this journey, we have already lost three disciples," Wang Wang Tiangu revealed a look of helplessness.

The Ghost Spirit Sect Master laughed upon hearing this, but didn't answer anything.

But at this time, Wei Wei Wuya looked toward the mountaintop and said expressionlessly.

"We have already been walking for three days and two nights since entering the inner valley; we should be almost there, right? Don't tell me we have to walk for several more days!"

"Brother Wei, rest assured. After crossing this mountain, we will arrive at that place. Don't be too impatient! If this matter succeeds, our Ghost Spirit Sect can certainly become the number one demonic sect, and Brother Wei's breakthrough to the Spirit Transformation stage is also just around the corner," the Ghost Spirit Sect Master's expression softened after saying this.

"Hmph! To tell the truth. I don't believe in the legend of the Spirit Wonder Garden. It's mostly rumors spread by those ancient cultivators. If there really were such a space located at the intersection of the Spirit Realm and our Human Realm, it should have been discovered by other cultivators long ago, and it wouldn't have been preserved until now," Wei Wei Wuya was silent for a moment, saying somewhat sarcastically.

"Since Brother Wei doesn't believe it, why did you agree to our sect's invitation in the first place?" The Ghost Spirit Sect Master didn't show any strange expression, instead asking with interest.

"Brother Wang is so solemn, almost bringing half of the sect's elite out, so you must have some certainty about this trip to the Falling Demon Valley. I imagine what you are looking for, even if it's not the Spirit Wonder Garden, should be a secret place of ancient cultivators. Since I know about this, I naturally want to get a piece of the action; it shouldn't be too much to ask for a share of the treasures, right?" Wei Wei Wuya said without hesitation.

"Haha! Brother Wei is indeed straightforward. However, Brother Wei is wrong about one thing. Our sect spent so much effort exactly for that Spirit Wonder Garden. This Spirit Wonder Garden is not some fake thing, but truly exists. The entire Falling Demon Valley is actually built by ancient cultivators specifically to guard the Spirit Wonder Garden. As long as we cross this mountain and wait a few more hours, we will be able to see it with our own eyes. When the time comes to open this space, we will need Brother Wei to contribute more," the Ghost Spirit Sect Master laughed, revealing a hint of madness on his face.

Wei Wei Wuya was somewhat surprised upon hearing this, revealing a look of being moved.

"Listening to the Sect Master's words, it seems you already hold evidence of the Spirit Wonder Garden's existence."

"Not bad, our sect indeed has seven or eight points of certainty that we can confirm the existence of the Spirit Wonder Garden. As for what evidence it is, when we get there, Brother Wei will naturally know," the black-robed middle-aged man said with a mysterious look.

This person was indeed a hero; although he was only at the early-stage Nascent Soul cultivation base, facing Wei Wei Wuya, a great cultivator at the late-stage Nascent Soul, he didn't show any unease.

Wei Wei Wuya nodded, his expression returning to normal, but he couldn't help but sneer in his heart.

Even if the Ghost Spirit Sect Master spoke with flowery words, without seeing the traces of the Spirit Wonder Garden with his own eyes, he would never believe half of it.

Of course, Wei Wei Wuya wouldn't say these slanderous words directly, but instead smiled indifferently and changed the subject, suddenly mentioning another matter.

"Elder Zhong of your sect separated from us to act alone after entering the valley. Now that so much time has passed, we still haven't seen him reunite. Can the Sect Master tell us Elder Zhong's whereabouts? You wouldn't let such a mid-stage Nascent Soul elder wander around in the Falling Demon Valley like other cultivators, right?"

"Brother Wei is joking. To tell you the truth, Elder Zhong is actually going to another secret place in the valley to search for another treasure. Of course, although this treasure is rare, it certainly cannot be compared with the Spirit Wonder Garden," the Ghost Spirit Sect Master seemed not to care about this question, replying lightly.

Hearing the other party admit it so frankly, Wei Wei Wuya gave two dry laughs, not finding it easy to continue asking. The group of people fell silent again, continuing to walk toward the mountaintop.

In a pile of pitted and bumpy rocks, six or seven Ghost Spirit Sect disciples were scattered in various places, searching incessantly under some giant rocks. And Elder Zhong of the Ghost Spirit Sect was floating in the center of this stone pile, motionless.

Although his spiritual sense could easily cover the wilderness of several dozen miles, wanting to find some specific marks was beyond his power.

So this person, even though he felt extremely impatient in his heart, could only rely on these disciples under his sect to search slowly like looking for a needle in a haystack.

At the exit of a giant canyon in the inner valley, the canyon filled with five-colored mist suddenly emitted a thunderous rumbling sound, followed by the mist shining brightly, and after a burst of lightning and thunder, a group of cultivators suddenly rushed out of the canyon.

Leading them were an old Daoist and an old man in a green robe; although the two looked undamaged, they were quite disheveled, looking gray-faced and dirty.

It was exactly True Person Brother Tianjing and the Great Elder of the Spirit Beast Sect, Dongmentu.

The other five green-robed cultivators behind them were also in tattered clothes, their faces pale, looking like they had suffered some hardship. As for those two ghost puppets, they remained exactly the same as before, without any changes.

"Finally broke through the restriction and entered the inner valley. I didn't expect Fellow Daoist Brother Tianjing's two puppets to be so powerful. They are almost no different from top-tier early-stage cultivators. It's truly enviable!" Dongmentu stopped his escape light after rushing out several dozen zhang from the canyon exit, looked back at the canyon behind him, and glanced at the two ferocious ghost puppets, revealing a look of surprise.

"A puppet is just a puppet, no matter how powerful, how can it compare to Brother Dongmentu's subordinates? These five people each practice one of the five-element cultivation techniques. If they join forces, I'm afraid they can even contend with a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator for a while," True Person Brother Tianjing was clearly quite wary of Dongmentu, deliberately falling behind after rushing out of the canyon, opening a distance between them as if nothing had happened. And the two mechanical puppets stood behind the old Daoist at this moment.

Seeing this scene, Dongmentu's face sank, but then he sighed and smiled bitterly.

"Fellow Daoist Brother Tianjing is really careful with me. I originally thought that after two days of working together to break the array, you shouldn't have any prejudice against me. Why don't you reconsider the matter of joining forces? If the two of us work together to search for treasures, it would be much safer than fighting alone."

"Brother Dongmentu, what are you saying! I have no prejudice against you, it's just that I prefer to be alone. Let's not mention joining forces. Now that both of us have entered the inner valley, I will bid you farewell," True Person Brother Tianjing laughed, refused without hesitation, bowed, and then stared cautiously at the other's face without moving away for a moment.

Dongmentu saw this situation, frowned, but then smiled.

"Since Fellow Daoist Brother Tianjing really doesn't want to be with me, I naturally won't force you. Then let's part ways here. I hope you have great gains!" He said with a light smile, his expression as usual. "Hehe! Then I thank Brother Dongmentu for your well wishes," True Person Brother Tianjing, hearing this, felt his expression relax, and said peacefully. Then the old Daoist took the two puppets, identified the direction slightly, and left unhurriedly. Watching True Person Brother Tianjing's gradually receding back, the green-robed old man's face suddenly turned gloomy.

"This old ghost is really cautious enough. After being with him for two days, he didn't reveal a single flaw. Otherwise, if I had these two puppets in the treasure search in the inner valley, I would be even safer," Dongmentu sighed somewhat unwillingly, looked around, and patted the spirit beast pouch at his waist.

With a "whoosh," a giant silver-gleaming bat flew out from the pouch and landed in front of Dongmentu.

He raised his hand, and a pitch-black medicine pill shot out. The giant silver bat swallowed the pill in mid-air, then circled once, suddenly shooting toward another direction.

Seeing this scene, Dongmentu hurriedly greeted the five cultivators behind him and took the lead, transforming into a green light and flying over. The five Spirit Beast Sect cultivators followed closely behind. In the blink of an eye, there was no one left at the canyon exit.
