Falling in Love to Escape the Original Book Plot [BL]-Chapter 447: Waiting 2
From what Zhen Yuan found out, cultivators could only exit the Cursed Valley after staying inside for one thousand years.
No one knew why this was so!
However, those who tried to leave ahead of time could not find the exit no matter how hard they tried.
Finally, no one knew the specific details of the Cursed Valley.
After reading countless books, Zhen Yuan discovered that the books mentioned that the Cursed Valley was a holy ground for body cultivation but no book revealed the specifics.
Did the Cursed Valley offer gravity refining? Fire refining? Lightning refining? Wind refining?
All that everyone knew was that those who exited the Cursed Valley had somehow managed to advance their body cultivation.
"The Cursed Valley has an uncommonly high death rate but it’s a good place to stabilise my cultivation and refine my body." Mo Ling said with a thoughtful expression.
A moment later, he turned to the two and hesitated before speaking.
"Is there something?" Shen Xu asked and Mo Ling nodded.
"Can Xing’er and the others practice in the Cursed Valley?" He asked.
"That depends on whether they will have come out of the blood awakening medicinal pool." The double answered.
"When will you go to the Cursed Valley?" Mo Ling asked and Shen Xu told him about the competition.
"We should arrive in the Cursed Valley in two years if nothing goes wrong."
Mo Ling nodded when he heard this.
Two real years was equivalent to four years on the mountain.
Knowing this, Mo Ling planned to practise his swordsmanship to pass the time.
After talking for an hour, Zhen Yuan and Shen Xu left the mountain and returned to their bamboo hut.
"Ayuan, what do you think is going on in the Cursed Valley?" Shen Xu asked with a curious expression.
"I don’t know but the body refining method should not be ordinary. Otherwise, the owner of the Cursed Valley would not have gone to such lengths to conceal the truth." Zhen Yuan said and Shen Xu nodded.
"I think so too." He said and quickly continued.
"Seven out of ten people who enter the Cursed Valley don’t come out. There is definitely something strange going on."
While speaking, Shen Xu thought of something and suddenly turned to Zhen Yuan.
"Can we use the Chaos Flame Space in the Cursed Valley?" He asked and Zhen Yuan subconsciously frowned.
"Common space artifacts cannot be used in the Cursed Valley but the Chaos Flame space is not ordinary. It’s possible we will be able to use it." He said.
"You are right but we should still prepare for the worst." Shen Xu said and Zhen Yuan nodded.
Time passed and before they knew it, it was time to leave for the competition.
On this day, Shen Xu and Zhen Yuan left their mountain area and went to the sect’s teleportation area.
The place was crowded.
At a glance, Shen Xu counted two hundred disciples, fifty Mahayana realm elders, and five tribulation transcending realm elders.
Of the tribulation transcending realm elders, the double recognised Luo Jianfeng but not the others.
[I didn’t expect five tribulation transcending realm elders to accompany us to the competition.] He transmitted.
[It’s necessary.] Zhen Yuan said and sighed.
On one hand, the mine was on an island in the Southern Blue Ocean. Because of this, tribulation transcending realm cultivators had to accompany the group since there were level nine sea beasts in the ocean.
On the other hand, other factions would bring tribulation transcending realm cultivators to safeguard their interests, and knowing this, the Tianxuan sect couldn’t fall behind.
[Ayuan...] Shen Xu suddenly called with a complicated expression.
[What’s the matter?]
[Do you think we will see Lin Xiang?] The double asked and Zhen Yuan sighed before rubbing his partner’s hair.
[She was originally a disciple of the Snow Mountain sect but she likely joined the Ten Evils sect because of what happened in the Tianqi continent.] Zhen Yuan said and quickly continued.
[Xiaoxu, our paths have long diverged. She will be nothing more than an enemy when we next see her.] He reminded with a solemn expression.
[I know.] Shen Xu said and sighed. 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦
Although he understood, he was still a little reluctant to accept that Lin Xiang had chosen such a radical path.
[I...] The double started but a pat on his shoulder interrupted his words.
When he turned around, he saw Dongfang Jing and Chen Yi and couldn’t help but be excited.
"You are also going?" He asked and Dongfang Jing nodded before speaking.
"We came out of seclusion just in time to participate in the qualification matches. We barely passed." Dongfang Jing said and shrugged.
"The result is what matters." Shen Xu said and narrowed his eyes.
"Have you ever been to the Southern Blue Ocean?" He asked and Dongfang Jing nodded.
Back then, he and Chen Yi wandered the Tianxuan continent looking for a cure. Unfortunately, they didn’t find one and were later forced to flee to the Canglan continent.
"The Southern Blue Ocean has the most sea beasts among the four Blue oceans." Chen Yi said and frowned.
"I heard that the cities near the Southern Blue Ocean often suffer from sea beasts’ tides?" Zhen Yuan asked and Chen Yi nodded.
"Linhai city which is on the shore of the Southern Blue Ocean experiences sea beasts’ tides all year round." He explained.
Hearing this, Shen Xu nodded with a thoughtful expression.
’I should take this chance to stock up on sea beasts’ meat.’ He thought.
Because the Tianxuan sect was relatively far from the sea, ordinary shops didn’t usually stock sea beast meat hence cultivators could only go to big restaurants if they wanted to eat sea food.
As a result, Shen Xu and Zhen Yuan had only eaten sea food, three or four times, since they arrived in the Tianxuan continent.
A few moments after the Dongfang couple found Shen Xu and Zhen Yuan, the Sima siblings and several other acquaintances, including Zheng Cheng, Tang Bin, and Murong Ling also came.
