Chapter 205: White Emperor Gold Emperor Slash VS Northern Polar Origin Light

After Nanlong Hou entered Falling Demon Valley through the Transmission Array, he had been waiting for Yan Taibai the entire time, and naturally, Yan Taibai could not possibly tell him about the Spirit Candle Fruit.

The reason Yan Taibai agreed to let the ancient demon's split soul bring Nanlong Hou to find the Ancient Cultivation Ruins and the Blood Curse Gate was that he had discovered soul-searching was of no use on the ancient demon's split soul.

And if there were no suitable body, the ancient demon's split soul could not possibly take him to find the Ancient Cultivation Ruins and the Blood Curse Gate.

Without a doubt, Nanlong Hou was that suitable body.

Regarding this point, Nanlong Hou was not clear, nor could he possibly know.

After all, whether it was Yan Taibai or the ancient demon's split soul, both were using him.

"Fellow Daoist Nanlong Hou, sorry to keep you waiting, let us go!"

The place Yan Taibai and Nanlong Hou had agreed upon was a valley outside of Falling Demon Valley.

"Fellow Daoist Taibai, you jest. That Fellow Daoist Taibai is willing to take this old man along is already a matter for which I am immensely grateful; even waiting a while longer is worth it."

Nanlong Hou said with a face full of smiles.

Although he did not know what Yan Taibai's true objective was, when faced with the Ancient Cultivation Ruins, even if Nanlong Hou knew full well that Yan Taibai most likely did not have good intentions, he still had to agree.

"Haha! Fine, then let us hurry! Lest we be beaten to it by others. After all, the transmission locations are random."

Yan Taibai laughed and said.

"Good."

Hearing this, Nanlong Hou nodded and immediately agreed.

Afterwards, the two followed the map route left behind by the ancient demon's split soul and Cangkun Shangren, heading toward the Ancient Cultivation Ruins guarded by the Fire Toad Beast.

The route was naturally not much different from the original plot, but this time there were only two people: Yan Taibai and Nanlong Hou.

As for the others, neither Yan Taibai nor Nanlong Hou chose to bring them along.

After all, no matter how much trouble there was on the road, including the most troublesome Fire Toad Beast, Yan Taibai alone was enough to resolve it.

At the same time, Yan Ruyan, Le Shangshi, and the others, after finishing refining the Creation Pill, began to search for the Transmission Array to leave Falling Demon Valley according to Yan Taibai's instructions.

They naturally believed the words Yan Taibai had spoken.

As for other ruins and treasures, one Creation Pill was about enough.

Especially for people like Feng Bing, Le Shangshi, and the Great Elder of the Masked Moon Sect, once they returned, as long as they did not consider the issue of lifespan, advancing to a Great Cultivator of Nascent Soul Late Stage was not without hope.

Of course, it was not one hundred percent certain; the more profound the realm, the worse the efficacy of the Creation Pill.

If they could still find some opportunities, pills, or spirit herbs, they could naturally save quite a bit of time, but they trusted Yan Taibai's warning more and wanted to leave Falling Demon Valley as soon as possible.

Although Qiong Laoguai was still a bit reluctant, things had reached this point, and he could not help but listen to his own senior martial sister.

As for his own disciple Yan Taibai, even though he was already the number one person in the Tiannan Cultivation World, Qiong Laoguai still felt he was his disciple.

But regarding the words of his senior martial sister, the Great Elder of the Masked Moon Sect, he dared not disobey in the slightest and could only honestly look for the Transmission Array to leave Falling Demon Valley.

After all, since Yan Taibai had said that the current Falling Demon Valley could have an accident at any time, then nine times out of ten, it should be correct.

If he stayed behind, it might implicate Yan Taibai.

In reality, Yan Taibai was also trying to avoid accidents; who knew to what extent the plot would develop? Even being as careful as possible was not excessive.

Especially since heaven knows how many ancient demons were in this Falling Demon Valley.

The dangers that could be caused by the ancient demon's soul and the ancient demon's body were huge and unpredictable.

Although the matters regarding the Mulan Tribe and the Yinluo Sect had been resolved, Yan Taibai did not want the Tiannan Cultivation World to suffer too severe a loss.

After all, sooner or later, the Heavenly Dao Alliance would unify the entire Tiannan Cultivation World.

Only in this way could Yan Taibai obtain more cultivation resources.

With the improvement of his realm, the cultivation resources Yan Taibai needed were too many; the current Heavenly Dao Alliance and the Miaoyin Sect of the Chaotic Star Sea could no longer satisfy his daily cultivation.

If daily cultivation could not continue to be satisfied, then one can imagine how great the difficulty of improving his realm and going further would be, and how many resources would be required.

Therefore, Yan Taibai had to find the Lingmiao Garden in this Falling Demon Valley; only in this way could he make up for a portion of the missing resources.

Half a day later, Yan Taibai and Nanlong Hou appeared in front of an unfamiliar mountain ridge on the outer side of the Inner Valley.

This mountain ridge consisted of more than ten small peaks stretching and connecting to form a micro-mountain range several tens of miles in size, and behind this mountain range, a blood-colored light obscured the yellow sky, appearing incomparably eerie.

"The Restriction of this Inner Valley is truly terrifying. Even if I were to encounter it, it would not be an easy matter to gain any benefits."

Yan Taibai raised his eyes to look at the blood light in the high sky, a rare look of wariness emerging in his eyes.

"Indeed, the Restriction of this Inner Valley is quite formidable; even Cangkun Shangren did not dare to touch it."

Nanlong Hou had also obtained quite a few ruins and benefits related to Cangkun Shangren; otherwise, how could a mere loose cultivator have cultivated to the Nascent Soul Mid Stage realm and made quite a name for himself in Tiannan?

Therefore, regarding Falling Demon Valley, Nanlong Hou was even more knowledgeable than Yan Taibai.

But precisely because of this, he did not dare to enter Falling Demon Valley alone.

Even with the route left behind by Cangkun Shangren, it was the same. After all, it was simply too dangerous.

But now it was different; with Yan Taibai, the number one person in the Tiannan Cultivation World, leading the way, there were basically no major safety issues.

Before long, the two stopped in front of a mountain ridge. The rocks and giant vines here looked plain and unremarkable, with nothing strange about them.

But in Yan Taibai's eyes, a pale golden glow emerged, and he clearly saw something.

"So it is an illusion array; I presume it must have been left behind by Cangkun Shangren!"

"Indeed, what True Master Taibai says is correct; it is precisely the illusion array set up by Cangkun Shangren before he left. Leave this illusion array to me! I shall not trouble Fellow Daoist Taibai to act."

After speaking, Nanlong Hou immediately flicked his sleeve.

Suddenly, a White Jade Pendant was seen flying out from his sleeve, flying above his head.

Next was the incantation chanting of a cultivator; following the spells and techniques spat out and cast, the glow from these techniques was swallowed whole by the pendant above Nanlong Hou's head, and then it bloomed with a dazzling white light.

Afterwards, within the white light, a sound like a phoenix cry appeared, and the next moment, a large expanse of white glow was seen spraying out from the pendant, sweeping toward everything in front. Below, a bizarre scene appeared.

Wherever the white glow passed, all the rocks and trees were twisted and torn apart like a painting, being crushed and disappearing in the glow. After a clear cry, the white glow retracted and quickly shot back into the pendant, disappearing without a trace.

And the scene before Yan Taibai and Nanlong Hou had changed drastically; the original grass and vines had disappeared, replaced by a gray and eerie scene. Between the peaks on both sides, there were white stones everywhere, each oval and smooth, the large ones the size of a human head, and the small ones only about the size of a fist. Looking further into the distance, a large expanse of gray mist appeared, blurry and hazy, making it impossible for one to see the situation within the mist.

However, these gray mists were confined to a range one hundred zhang wide in the center, while both sides were filled with blood-red light, which kept sweeping toward the center like a tide, squeezing it; yet, the moment it reached the sides of the mist, it was as if it had hit a levee, unable to advance even an inch.

"So it is a Three-Headed Ancient Beast Python, interesting."

Yan Taibai's smile did not fade; immediately, he flicked his sleeve, and ten thousand golden lights transformed into Jinxia, directly turning into a golden hurricane that blew the gray mist away.

But just as it was halfway blown and not yet completely dispersed, the Three-Headed Ancient Beast Python mentioned by Yan Taibai appeared and charged straight at Yan Taibai.

But the next moment, *clatter! * The golden light transformed into Golden Sword Qi, directly mincing the Three-Headed Ancient Beast Python into pieces, leaving only three Demon Cores, which fell into Yan Taibai's hands.

"Not bad, I will give this one to you, fellow Daoist."

Yan Taibai was naturally not a stingy person; he directly gave one of them to Nanlong Hou, making the latter greatly delighted and hurriedly expressing his thanks.

"Many thanks, fellow Daoist Taibai."

"No matter, let us continue! Finding the Ancient Cultivation Ruins and the Fire Toad Beast as soon as possible is what matters."

After Yan Taibai put away the remaining two Demon Cores, he spoke.

"Yes."

Nanlong Hou also happily put away his own Demon Core and followed Yan Taibai to continue on their way.

Just like this, the two of them flew another twenty-plus miles one after the other, and the scenery changed.

It was a tall, pale yellow stone wall. The stone wall revealed a pitch-black cave, about seven or eight zhang wide.

"As long as we pass through this cave, we can enter the Inner Valley; however, Arctic Essence Light exists inside, and to pass through safely, we still need your Liangyi Ring."

Nanlong Hou introduced.

"That is natural, however, there seems to be something good here."

Yan Taibai nodded and smiled.

"Something good?"

Hearing this, Nanlong Hou was stunned, revealing a confused expression.

Seeing this, Yan Taibai smiled slightly, then flicked his finger and pointed at the nearest stone wall.

Instantly, golden light shot out, and with a *bang*, it cut an opening in the stone wall, and this opening faintly revealed grains of silver light.

"This is Gang Silver Sand? It is actually Gang Silver Sand. I never thought there would be an entire vein of Gang Silver Sand here. It is just a pity that it is impossible for us to take it away right now."

Nanlong Hou was excited for a moment, then regained his reason, saying with some regret.

"Indeed, so, let us go!"

Seeing this, Yan Taibai thought more highly of Nanlong Hou and smiled.

This entire vein of Gang Silver Sand was of no small benefit to his cultivation of the *White Emperor Golden Emperor Slash*, but it was not the time, so there was no need to stay here to cultivate for now.

Subsequently, the two entered the cave.

Not long after, Yan Taibai saw the Arctic Essence Light; he saw that in the wide passage where they were, strange rocks resembling stalactites were spread from top to bottom, emitting wisps of silver-white light threads, illuminating the entire passage extremely brightly. These silver threads were strangely unusual; although they were clearly intangible things, every light thread was exceptionally clear, as if they were tangible.

"This is the Arctic Essence Light; I wonder just how powerful it is?"

At this thought, a mass of pure, flawless golden light appeared in Yan Taibai's hand, as if it were a golden ball made of gold.

Then, under the gaze of Nanlong Hou's confused and surprised eyes, Yan Taibai directly threw the "golden ball" in his hand into the Arctic Essence Light.

*Crackle, pop! *

*Crackle, pop! *

For a time, the sound of high-voltage electricity colliding suddenly arose; gold and silver collided, resisted, and destroyed each other, but unfortunately, the "golden ball" was limited after all. Even though it had the upper hand at the beginning, facing the endless silver-white Arctic Essence Light, it was gradually weakened, perished, and eventually disappeared.

This was the terror of the Arctic Essence Light, but what made the bystander, Nanlong Hou, who saw this scene, find it unbelievable was that Yan Taibai's "golden ball" could actually contend with the Arctic Essence Light, and even have the upper hand at the beginning; this was simply incredible and exceeded his cognition.

"Fellow Daoist Taibai, was that really just your True Essence Magic Power just now?"

Although he knew he should not ask and should not know, as it might bring about a fatal disaster, Nanlong Hou ultimately could not help but ask.

"Otherwise, what did you think it was, fellow Daoist Nanlong Hou? That was indeed my True Essence Magic Power, but it was still a bit off from my expectations; it actually only lasted for this short time. I originally thought I could pass through this Yuan Magnetic Divine Light by relying on True Essence Magic Power. But I did not expect that it seems it will not work."

Yan Taibai shook his head and explained with some regret.

"Fellow Daoist Taibai is joking. Since ancient times, there have not been many treasures capable of contending with the Arctic Essence Light, and each one is a rare treasure in the world, such as the Liangyi Ring in your hand; I estimate there is only this one in the entire Human World. And for you to be able to contend with the Arctic Essence Light by relying on True Essence Magic Power, you can definitely be counted as the number one person in the entire cultivation world."

Nanlong Hou's face was filled with shock, and he praised with envy.

"Perhaps! But for now, we still need to rely on the Liangyi Ring."

Hearing this, Yan Taibai smiled noncommittally, then took out the Liangyi Ring obtained from Cangkun Shangren's ruins.

Subsequently, he cast a spell on it; the Liangyi Ring trembled slightly and began to shrink and expand, and in an instant, the ring transformed into a giant ring five or six zhang in diameter.

Then, this enlarged Liangyi Ring entered the Arctic Essence Light.

Instantly, the light threads that were originally straight appeared like a disturbed water surface, becoming chaotic the moment the giant ring entered; amidst the flickering black light, every silver thread, upon touching the outer wall of the ring, immediately bent miraculously, as if it had spiritual intelligence and life, clearing a path.

Seeing this, Yan Taibai nodded with satisfaction and smiled.

"Not bad, let us go!"

At the same time, Wei Wuya arrived below an altar in Falling Demon Valley, with a black map in his hand.

"Is Lingmiao Garden really above?"

This map was discovered by Wei Wuya in an Ancient Cultivation Ruins in Falling Demon Valley, and the information on it was only one thing: the location of Lingmiao Garden. It was exactly the place where the altar in front of him was located.

But regarding this, although Wei Wuya held great hope and expectation, he vaguely felt uneasy in his heart, feeling that he should not have come here.

But facing the temptation of Lingmiao Garden and advancing to the Spirit Severing Stage, Wei Wuya still came.
