137: Demon Valley

The flying boat traveled through the sea of clouds for several days, and the enchanting scenery within the boat never ceased.

When the flying boat finally descended slowly from the clouds, Nangong Wan leaned languidly in Lin Feng's arms, without even the strength to lift a single finger.

Her magical robes had already been torn to shreds by Lin Feng multiple times, and the current sky-blue palace dress she wore was also slightly wrinkled.

"Wan'er, we've arrived," Lin Feng's voice echoed in her ear.

Nangong Wan reluctantly opened her eyes and looked out the window.

Below were continuous verdant mountain ranges, majestic and perilous, shrouded in mist, precisely the famous Myriad Ridge Mountain Range of the Heavenly South Continent.

And the Fallen Demon Valley, the most dangerous place in the Heavenly South, was hidden deep within this vast mountain range.

Lin Feng put away the flying boat, embracing Nangong Wan's soft waist, and flew towards the depths of the mountain range.

The Spiritual Qi here was mixed, and carried a faint, eerie aura, making it rarely trodden by Cultivators.

At this time, the Guiling Sect had not yet discovered the secret of this place, and the entire mountain range appeared exceptionally desolate.

Being held and flown by him like this, Nangong Wan felt the whistling wind by her ears, and a blush crept onto her cheeks.

She struggled a bit, but found her body soft and limp, unable to exert any strength.

"I'm a Nascent Soul Cultivator, I can fly on my own!" Her voice carried a hint of vexation, yet seemed to lack confidence.

Lin Feng looked down at her, a smile playing on his lips.

"In my heart, you, like Phoenix Dance, are women I need to protect."

These words made Nangong Wan's pretty face flush.

She huffed in annoyance, but her body no longer struggled; instead, she leaned into his embrace, finding a more comfortable position.

She nestled in Lin Feng's arms like a docile young wife, completely unlike the cold, noble, and revered Fairy Yue of Yueyao Peak.

Lin Feng's escape speed was extremely fast, and he quickly arrived at the entrance of an enormous valley.

The valley entrance was shrouded in black Qi, with grotesque rocks, and a bone-chilling Devilish Qi assailed them, causing the surrounding vegetation to appear a sickly dark green.

"What exactly is inside the Fallen Demon Valley, for the Devilish Qi to be so astonishing?" Nangong Wan looked at the scene before her, her delicate brows slightly furrowed.

The purity and density of this Devilish Qi far surpassed anything she had ever seen in her life.

Lin Feng tightened his arm around her, saying casually, "Perhaps some great Demon God is Sealed inside, but don't be afraid, Wan'er, I'm here."

He naturally knew that deep within this valley, two powerful Ancient Demons were Sealed.

With his current methods, if he exerted his full strength, capturing and refining these two Ancient Demons would not be difficult.

However, he did not intend to do so.

These two Ancient Demons were important experience packages for opening the Kunlun Mountain instance.

With a thought, Lin Feng took out a golden, shimmering Talisman from his Storage Pouch.

"Go!"

He tossed the Talisman into the air and let out a soft shout.

The Talisman instantly exploded, transforming into a dazzling golden lightning, which intertwined to form a giant golden shield, enveloping the two of them.

Crackling sounds!

Countless tiny golden electric arcs danced on the surface of the shield, purifying all the surging Devilish Qi around them, emitting puffs of green smoke.

This 【Heavenly Thunder Golden Gang Talisman】 was a high-quality product from the System, specifically designed to counter evil demons and heretics.

Nangong Wan felt the pure Yang Qi emanating from the shield, and her vigilance lessened considerably.

Lin Feng held her and stepped into the valley.

His Divine Sense had already spread out like a tide, covering an area of several hundred miles, meticulously searching every inch of land and every mountain wall.

He was looking for the entrance to the Lingmiao Garden.

He knew that there were two Lingmiao Gardens in the Fallen Demon Valley.

One was fake, a trap set by the Ancient Demon to lure Cultivators for Possession and Rebirth.

The true Lingmiao Garden, however, was hidden within a spatial rift, undetectable by ordinary means.

The two continued to delve deeper.

The terrain within the valley became increasingly perilous, and the Devilish Qi grew denser.

They passed by bottomless rifts, from which the wind howled like ghosts and wolves.

They also flew over black poisonous pools, where poisonous creatures churned, emitting a nauseating stench.

Nangong Wan looked at these dangerous sights, secretly feeling fortunate.

If not for Lin Feng, she alone, even if she could resist the Devilish Qi, would probably expend a great deal of mental energy here.

Lin Feng's expression, however, remained calm.

His Divine Sense swept past a hidden cave, where Devilish Qi soared to the heavens; it was the Seal location of one of the Ancient Demons.

He did not stop, bypassing it directly.

He also sensed another heavily Restricted area, also the work of an Ancient Demon.

He still ignored it.

His only goal was the true Lingmiao Garden.

In this way, the two almost explored the entire outer region of the Fallen Demon Valley.

Finally, in front of an inconspicuous mountain wall, Lin Feng stopped.

"What's wrong?" Nangong Wan asked curiously.

Before them was just a bare stone wall, with no abnormalities.

Lin Feng did not answer, merely extended his hand and gently pressed it against the stone wall.

He closed his eyes, his vast Divine Sense power converging to a single point, carefully probing into the stone wall, sensing the subtle, almost imperceptible spatial fluctuations.

A moment later, he opened his eyes, a smile on his face.

Found it.

He took Nangong Wan's hand and said, "Wan'er, close your eyes and hold me tight."

Nangong Wan did as she was told.

The next moment, Lin Feng's body glowed with Spiritual Light, and he, carrying her, directly passed through the solid stone wall.

Nangong Wan felt her vision blur, and the chilling Devilish Qi around them instantly vanished without a trace.

In its place was a fresh, pure, and incredibly dense Spiritual Qi.

She opened her eyes, instantly stunned by the sight before her.

This was a paradise.

Blue sky, white clouds, birdsong, and the fragrance of flowers. Not far away stood an exquisite pavilion, and a clear stream babbled past.

And by the stream, grew a small tree about a foot tall.

The tree bore six fist-sized fruits, their skins crystal clear, as if carved from beautiful jade, with a faint candlelight-like glow circulating within them.

"This... this is a Spirit Candle Fruit!" Nangong Wan exclaimed in surprise.

This was one of the main ingredients for a Medicinal Pill rumored to help Nascent Soul Cultivators Break through their Bottleneck!

Lin Feng smiled and nodded.

He walked to the Spirit Candle Fruit tree and examined it carefully.

Of the six fruits, three were plump with glow and fragrant, clearly fully ripe.

The other three had slightly dimmer glows and would need some time to mature.

He did not hesitate, carefully picking the three ripe Spirit Candle Fruits and placing them in a jade box.

After doing all this, his gaze fell upon the three unripe fruits.

In Old Devil Han's original work, he seemed to have taken four or five ripe fruits.

Now there were three unripe ones left; would they benefit Old Devil Han?

He pondered for a moment, then reached out and picked another green, unripe fruit.

Seeing this, Nangong Wan was somewhat puzzled: "Lin Feng, this fruit is not yet ripe; picking it now is useless."

Lin Feng smiled mysteriously, and with a thought, directly tossed the green Spirit Candle Fruit into his Inner Universe space.

In the Inner Universe, Little Spirit Ginseng, who was rolling around in the Spirit Medicine garden, suddenly saw a fragrant fruit fall from the sky and land in front of it.

It curiously went closer and sniffed with its tiny nose.

"Yi ya?" (Good stuff!)

Lin Feng's voice sounded in its mind: "Little fellow, plant this fruit and nourish it well with your Origin power. If you can grow a Spirit Candle Fruit tree, you'll be well rewarded."

Little Spirit Ginseng understood Lin Feng's meaning and happily chirped.

It hugged the Spirit Candle Fruit, which was even bigger than its body, and scurried to the place with the densest Spiritual Qi, beginning to dig a hole with its tiny short hands.

Watching this scene, Lin Feng retracted his Divine Sense with satisfaction.

With Little Spirit Ginseng, a naturally born Spirit, and the almost infinite Spiritual Qi in the Inner Universe, it might truly be possible to cultivate this Spirit Candle Fruit tree.

By then, he would have a continuous supply of Spirit Candle Fruits.
