t is.Moreover—Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!Now Shen Changqing refines the boundary stone, becoming the master of Zhongxuan Realm, and the Five Sects and Twelve Pal...The Valley of the Exiled Immortals!

Legend has it that an immortal once descended from the heavens and crashed to Earth, creating a massive valley in this very location.

... and this valley.

... is therefore called the Peach Blossom Valley.

Later, an ancient imperial court heard news of the immortal and inquired about their appearance from nearby villagers. Finally, they sent people to Zhixian Valley who, based on the descriptions, carved a gigantic stone statue in the image of the immortal.

Thereafter.

The imperial court sent people to the valley day and night to be defeated, hoping to gain the protection of immortals.

But unfortunately.

Even when the ancient court was overthrown, no immortals appeared.

> Over time.

News of the immortals gradually subsided.

And the immortal stone statues in Zhexian Valley were no longer visited by anyone.

Time flies.

Zhe Xian Valley became overgrown with weeds, gathering all kinds of poisonous insects and ferocious beasts. It was even less frequented by people than before.

But now things are different.

Once a place rarely visited, the exiled immortal valley is now bustling with people.

There was a monk.

There is a Taoist priest.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!

There are young women, as well as old men and women.

Everyone was solemn, looking at the imposing stone statue before them.

Or to be more precise.

... was looking at the spot on the statue's right palm.

Outside the Zhe Xian Valley.

Xun Qu stopped first and waited for about two hours before seeing Shen Changqing’s figure.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

“Elder Shen is also quite fast.”

This is an example of how HTML tags are not translated. Only the content within the tags is translated.

The corners of his mouth were smiling.

Dahu was pleased because his light footwork was superior.

Shen Changqing's face remained unchanged, and he calmly said: "Xun's light kung fu is superb, Shen admires you!"

Game over!

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

And it was a thorough defeat!

For more than two days, I traveled tirelessly without stopping, but I couldn't find Xun Qu.

...until now.

Only then did he feel

the other party stop.

This is the first time.

Shen Changqing felt that his light kung fu was so bad.

If you have a choice.

He will definitely put in more effort in this area in the future.

Xun Qu shook his head and chuckled, "Elder Shen, you mustn't belittle yourself. At your age, to possess such strength is already something to be admired by all. If you were the best in every aspect, it would be a bit too monstrous."

Besides, I have immersed myself in martial arts for decades and also have some experience in light work.

Elder Shen's light kung fu, on anyone else, would be considered outstanding.

>

Agreed.

Xun Qu looked at the tall stone statue in front of him.

"Elder Shen, look, that's the stone statue of Dizhen Valley. The statue has existed for over a thousand years. It was built by an ancient court before the Qin Dynasty. It is said to be carved in the image of a fairy."

But whether it is true or not, who knows.

Upon hearing this.

Shen Changqing followed Xun Qu's gaze.

He had already seen the existence of the stone statue before.

The stone statue is too big.

Even from a great distance, you can clearly see the outline of the statue.

Now it's getting closer.

>

This allows you to better appreciate the height of the statue.

Even so.

The facial features carved on the stone statue are also clearly visible. Between the eyebrows, one can see a lively and vivid expression. The slightly upturned corners of the mouth seem to be like a smile of understanding when an immortal overlooks the world.

“It seems this immortal is also a Taoist!”

The reason Shen Changqing could recognize the statue's origins was because he saw the headwear on its head, a pure yang scarf.

Yang Energy Scarf.

It belongs to Taoism.

Xun Qu shook his head. "Who knows Even whether immortals are real or not is hard to say. Perhaps during that time, the Taoist sect was still prosperous."

Thousands of years ago, it is impossible to trace.

The Qin Dynasty only lasted for a mere three hundred years, not to mention other dynasties.

“Elder Shen, follow me.”

After Xun Qu said a sentence, he moved his body and shot upward toward Zhexian Valley.

The immortal residing in seclusion is surrounded by three mountains, and the stone statue is cast against the mountain body in front.

Shen Changqing saw this.

His figure moved as well, following Xun Qu, and came to the mountain on the left side of Zhexian Valley.

There happened to be a platform there, overlooking which one could take in the entire Zhexian Valley at a glance.

He also saw the people gathered in the valley below.

Meanwhile.

The crowd in the valley also discovered the presence of Shen Changqing and Xun Qu.

> When some people saw Xun Qu's face, their expressions involuntarily changed, and then they looked away, not daring to meet his gaze.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

“The Demon Slayer from the Broken Mountain Town has arrived!”

If I'm not mistaken, the one who came should be Xun Qu.

>And who was standing beside Xun Ku

"Who knows, to be able to come here personally from the city lord himself, it must be a powerful figure from the Demon Suppression Division—"

In the valley, someone was talking in a low voice.

Xun Qu, as the garrison commander of Nanyou Prefecture, was also quite well-known.

In the Jianghu of Nanyu Mansion.

But as long as they have some fame, they can basically recognize Xun Qu's identity.

The discussions below were very hushed, and Shen Changqing could only strain to hear snippets of them.

Xun Qu was unperturbed. Instead, he looked at the stone statue before him, pointing to the right palm that lay horizontally across its chest.

"Has Elder Shen seen the palm of the statue's right hand"

"Saw it."

Shen Changqing nodded.

At first glance, the stone statue's right palm appears ordinary. However, upon closer inspection, a faint glimmer can be seen there, as if it were not entirely real.

Xun Qu said, “That is the entrance to the Heavenly Realm. In another day and a half, the Heavenly Realm will open again. When each person enters the Heavenly Realm, their location will be different.”

So after entering, Elder Shen will most likely be separated from me.

If we were to separate, Lord Shen Chang could seek out his own opportunities. But if we happen to meet again, then you and I can join forces once more.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate! I can handle a variety of languages.

The location of entering the Heavenly Realm is not fixed. Shen Changqing suddenly realized this.

After hearing Xun Qu's words, he simply nodded in agreement.

"No problem."

"Elder Shen, please keep this thing. It might be of some use someday."

>

Xun Qu took from his bosom a book, about the size of a palm.

>

Shen Changqing took the book, discovering that the material was special, seemingly woven from silk.

You could see his confusion.

Xun Qu explained: “What's recorded on this tablet is everything the Zhen Mo Si knows about Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures. Holding this, if you encounter an unknown Heavenly Material or Earthly Treasure, you can take a look and you might find its introduction.”

Although the celestial realm is abundant with heavenly treasures, it's impossible for a book to record them all.

"As for how to do it, Elder Shen still had to adapt to the situation."

Speaking of this.

Xun Qu paused for a moment.

>

Besides heavenly materials and earthly treasures, the Heavenly Realm also harbors numerous dangers. Any heavenly material or earthly treasure could potentially be accompanied by danger, so Elder Shen must be wary of ferocious beasts that may lurk around any treasure he collects.

>

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

The rest are those who have entered the Heavenly Realm.

I believe Elder Shen also has some experience in this regard, so I don't need to remind him too much in this area.

Thank you!

Shen Changqing took the book and thanked him solemnly.

He could tell that Xun Qu truly wanted to repay his kindness.

Otherwise.

Just telling the Heavenly Realm about the news is enough. There's no need to give yourself an extra booklet to identify heaven and earth treasures, nor is there a need to say so much.

The scene then fell silent.

The people down in the valley did not speak, and neither Shen Changqing nor Xun Qu spoke.

All eyes on everyone.

All of them fell on the stone statues.

> That's because I'm standing on a high place.

Shen Changqing could take in the statue to a great extent.

I have to say.

This tag is used to close a paragraph.

Up close, the statue's exquisite details are even more apparent.

The gesture in the statue's hand was very different from what he remembered of Daoist movements. One hand was held horizontally in front of him, and the other was raised in a gesture resembling picking a flower.

Such an action.

Let me know if you have other text you'd like me to translate!

It doesn't seem like something from Daoism, but rather Buddhism.

Let me know if you have other text you'd like me to translate!

The pure yang scarf on the other party's head is indeed a Taoist thing.

It is quite obvious.

>

The person who originally cast the statue probably got it mixed up.

Let me know if you have other text you'd like me to translate!

If there are no immortals, that's fine.

If there really were immortals, they would probably have to unleash their wrath and fury.

Time flies.

Xun Qu stood there, motionless. His entire being seemed to have turned to stone.

Shen Changqing simply crossed his legs and sat down, silently restoring his own state, bringing it to a truly peak level.

The next day.

The stone statue didn't change much.

Just as the sun was rising, purple qi wafted through the heavens and earth. This caused the misty light emanating from the palm of the stone statue's right hand to become dazzlingly bright, and it grew increasingly intense.

Take this opportunity.

Below, many martial artists are seated cross-legged, running their own internal energy, trying to absorb the purple qi from heaven and earth to cultivate.

Look at their skillful movements.

This is obviously not the first time this has been done.

"Such a rich purple aura!"

Shen Changqing was also shocked to see the purple qi of heaven and earth being pulled by the stone statue and lingering for a long time.

He of old.

When drawing on the purple qi of heaven and earth, one only obtains a faint wisp, and it vanishes in an instant.

Compared to the scene before me, where purple qi was thick and pervasive like smoke, lingering for a long time without dissipating, this is completely incomparable.

There was no hesitation.

He immediately activated the Great Sun Scripture, starting to ingest Heaven and Earth's Purple Qi.

In an instant.

The Great Sun Golden Core within the dantian trembled slightly. As Shen Changqing's mouth opened ever so slightly, a terrifying suction force rose out of thin air, like a whale swallowing the sea. All the purple qi swirling around the stone statue surged madly in one direction.

"What's going on!"

"Hiss!"

Those martial artists who sought to cultivate using the purple qi, were stunned when they saw the purple qi surging in another direction.

Seeing Shen Changqing's swallowing of purple qi with his own eyes made them even more envious.

The qi of heaven and earth is precious.

Let me know if you have more text you'd like me to translate!

This is something that everyone knows.

Let me know if you have other text you'd like me to translate!

Before the Heavenly Realm truly opens, the celestial purple qi that appears every day is a particularly precious treasure.

These martial arts practitioners come here punctually every day to absorb the purple qi and cultivate their strength.

But now.

All of the purple qi was gone, completely plundered by Shen Changqing.

That's how it's done.

Nature surprised and angered them.

To everyone's astonishment, Shen Changqing's methods were astonishing. He was able to snatch all the purple qi from under everyone's noses.

What enraged him was that all of the purple qi had been stolen.

It's just——

Upon seeing Xun Qi by Shen Changqing's side, everyone extinguished the anger in their hearts.

For a bit of celestial purple energy, they went to war with the Demon Suppression Office.

Then it's not really worth it.
