212: Chapter 212 Kun Kun Makes a Great Contribution

"Alright."

Ji Taichang nodded, having no objections.

He first found the four women—Lin Xueyue, Yang Yao, Qin Ruolin, and Nangong Qingya—to inform them about the Secret Realm's authority and that he and Lu Qingmeng were going on a long trip.

After completing their preparations, Ji Taichang and Lu Qingmeng left the Secret Realm.

Ji Taichang also closed the entrance to the Secret Realm as they left, causing the entire realm to vanish directly into the Void Realm.

In this way, unless a Mahayana Stage powerhouse took action, outsiders would be unable to force their way into the Secret Realm.

"Stand firm."

Lu Qingmeng formed hand seals, and a blue Flying Sword appeared beneath their feet. It suddenly accelerated, heading toward the Setting Sun Valley.

Ji Taichang let out an "aiya," appearing as if he had suddenly lost his balance. He "subconsciously" wrapped his arms around Lu Qingmeng's slender waist, pulling her voluptuous body directly into his embrace.

"You little pervert, where are you putting your hands?!"

Lu Qingmeng's body suddenly stiffened. Feeling her ample chest being held, a flush of red appeared on her face as she hurriedly slapped Ji Taichang's hands away.

"So supple..."

Ji Taichang licked his lips, savoring the sensation that a single hand could not fully grasp. His heart grew a few degrees hotter.

During the journey that followed...

Ji Taichang was quite bold, reaching out to take liberties from time to time, but unfortunately, he was pushed away by Lu Qingmeng after a few attempts.

With Lu Qingmeng's astonishing speed, the two of them soon arrived at the Setting Sun Valley.

A dilapidated canyon shrouded in grayish-black mist appeared ahead. In the sky hung a dark red setting sun, its entire surface covered in cracks.

A gloomy and oppressive aura rushed toward them.

Upon reaching this place, Lu Qingmeng's expression became more serious and solemn. She subconsciously took Ji Taichang's hand and pulled him to her side, truly treating him like a child who needed looking after.

Buzz—

As Lu Qingmeng steered the Flying Sword into the Setting Sun Valley, the surrounding space distorted slightly, and the two appeared in a desolate, broken, and gloomy wilderness.

The world was deathly silent, devoid of any vitality. Not only had all the vegetation withered, but even the ground was full of cracks, as if all life had been sucked dry.

"This place... why does it feel strangely familiar?"

Kunkun suddenly rubbed its eyes and couldn't help but mutter to itself, its gaze somewhat dazed.

"Tell me, what kind of familiarity?"

Lu Qingmeng suddenly fixed her gaze on Kunkun, a smiling expression on her face.

Kunkun subconsciously shrunk its neck and quickly hid behind Ji Taichang's feet, whispering, "I'm not sure either. Just now, some strange, fragmented images appeared in my mind. It's as if someone buried some kind of supreme treasure in this place..."

Kunkun's words stirred Lu Qingmeng's heart.

She immediately formed hand seals and performed the Earth Escape Art, leading Ji Taichang and Kunkun as they began to dive underground.

Her massive Divine Sense continuously spread out, searching carefully.

They dove tens of thousands of feet deep into the earth before finally detecting an anomaly.

Beneath the boundless dark earth, a mysterious and brilliant immortal light shone. It was surrounded by immortal runes, glowing brightly and exuding a holy, peaceful aura.

That immortal light was too blazing. Ji Taichang subconsciously activated the power of the Heavenly Fox True Pupil, but he still found it difficult to see clearly!

A glimmer of nine-colored light shone in Lu Qingmeng's eyes. Relying on her powerful cultivation at the Body Integration Stage, she was barely able to peer through the immortal light and see a corner of the scene within.

It was a mysterious little tree, brilliant to the extreme. It was only a foot tall, its entire body covered in flowers. Every flower was a different color, as if each one nurtured a different holy power.

"Is this... the legendary Eighth-Rank Precious Medicine, the glazed immortal grass!?"

Lu Qingmeng's body shook violently, her eyes widening. Her breathing grew heavy, and her heart began to thumping wildly!

"Aunt Meng, what is the glazed immortal grass?"

Ji Taichang asked curiously.

"Eighth-Rank Precious Medicines are extremely rare and valuable. Even among the Five Great Sacred Grounds, there are only one or two, and they are all sacred medicines that guard the sects!"

"And the glazed immortal grass is a standout among Eighth-Rank Precious Medicines. It hasn't appeared many times since ancient times and is extremely mysterious. I don't know much about it either."

"But I've seen some records in the ancient texts of the Tiangang Holy Land. This medicine might be of great use to my Physique, and might even allow me to glimpse the path to the Mahayana Stage!!"

Lu Qingmeng licked her red lips, her tone quite excited.

She was the Saintess of the Tiangang Holy Land from two generations ago, possessing immense talent and high cultivation.

If she could obtain this glazed immortal grass, she might have a chance to break through to the Mahayana Stage!!

One could imagine how much temptation this glazed immortal grass held for Lu Qingmeng!

"There's such a good thing?"

Ji Taichang's eyes also lit up.

Lu Qingmeng was not only one of Ji Taichang's backers but also a woman he intended to win over.

If Lu Qingmeng could break through to the Mahayana Stage, it would definitely be a huge boon for Ji Taichang!

After all, Ji Taichang still faced a terrifying threat—the current Holy Lord of the Shuiyue Holy Land. Having one more Mahayana Stage backer would give Ji Taichang more confidence in dealing with her!

Ji Taichang immediately activated the power of the Heavenly Fox True Pupil and summoned the yang yao disk, quickly deducing and observing the runes near the glazed immortal grass.

"Aunt Meng, there is a powerful Seventh-Rank Formation guarding this place. This Formation not only contains powerful defensive power but can also devour the essence of heaven and earth. If one attacks it recklessly, they will suffer a backlash from the Formation!"

Ji Taichang soon furrowed his brows as he saw through the situation.

"A Seventh-Rank Formation... You have the yang yao disk in hand; can you deduce a way to break it?"

Lu Qingmeng couldn't help but look at Ji Taichang.

Although her cultivation reached the Body Integration Stage, she knew nothing about the Dao of Formations. Now she could only pin her hopes on the yang yao disk in Ji Taichang's hands.

Of course, Lu Qingmeng could also ask the Tiangang Holy Land for help and have them invite a Seventh-Rank Array Master to take action.

But if she did that, a significant portion of this glazed immortal grass would be taken by the Tiangang Holy Land. What she would receive in the end might not be enough for her to glimpse the Great Dao of the Mahayana Stage, which would be too disadvantageous.

"I'll try."

Ji Taichang took a deep breath, his hands rapidly forming seals. His vast spiritual power surged as the yang yao disk spun quickly. The countless tiny runes engraved on it changed constantly, reflecting the Formation guarding the glazed immortal grass as it performed continuous deductions.

Even with Ji Taichang's attainment as a Seventh-Rank Array Master, it took him several hours of deduction.

Ji Taichang slowly exhaled a breath of turbid air. "This is a complete and flawless Seventh-Rank Formation with no weak points. I can only deduce three methods to break it, but I'll need Aunt Meng's help!"

Although the Formation was strong, with Ji Taichang's Formation expertise, the yang yao disk, and Lu Qingmeng—an elite among those at the Body Integration Stage—he was eighty percent certain he could break it!

"Are you serious!?"

"You aren't just trying to make your auntie happy and deliberately lying to me, are you?"

Lu Qingmeng's beautiful eyes widened in shock and joy, finding it hard to believe!
