Chapter 403 Ice Phoenix Divine Body
An hour later, just as everyone's emotions had calmed down a bit,
"Click, click, click..."
The teeth-grinding sound rang out again, more frequent and urgent than before!
As if struck by an invisible hammer, ten more of Qingyuan Sect's soul tablets shattered instantly!
Jade dust flew everywhere, and the spirit tablets representing life shattered one after another.
This time, even the leaders and elders of other sects couldn't sit still and stood up, their faces filled with shock.
This is no longer an ordinary casualty incident; it is clearly a targeted massacre!
What kind of being could accurately locate and kill so many elite disciples of the Qingyuan Sect in such a short time? Did it trigger some kind of deadly restriction? Or did it encounter an insurmountable, so-called ominous entity?
Wu Yuanshan swayed, his eyes were bloodshot, and he clenched his fists so tightly that his nails dug deep into his palms.
His heart was bleeding!
These disciples are the future and hope of the Qingyuan Sect!
Now they are dying one by one, and they are dying for no apparent reason. This is destroying the foundation of the Qingyuan Sect.
The enormous loss brought not only heartache, but also a deep-seated fear.
If all the disciples inside die, Qingyuan Sect will inevitably face a shortage of successors for the next hundred years, and the sect's status will plummet!
He suddenly turned his head, his gaze sweeping across the other sects like a venomous snake, especially towards the direction of Misty Peak, which had a long-standing feud with Qingyuan Sect.
Elder Ma Hongren, the leader of Piaomiao Peak, felt his gaze, his brows furrowed slightly, but his eyes remained clear and open.
Moreover, many of the soul tablets of the Misty Peak disciples were also broken.
Wu Yuanshan snorted heavily, unable to find any flaws. He could only forcefully suppress his endless anger and fear back into his heart, but the surging killing intent was almost bursting out of his body.
Once he finds evidence that Misty Peak was responsible, he will definitely use swift and decisive measures to kill Ma Hongren, and even wipe out everyone on Misty Peak.
He would spare no effort even if it meant provoking a war between two sects.
An eerie silence fell over the entire area outside Burial Valley. Everyone held their breath, their gazes involuntarily drawn to the few dozen remaining soul tablets of the Qingyuan Sect.
The air was frozen solid, like a block of iron, so oppressive that it was hard to breathe.
Even the slightest rustle of wind can make one's heart skip a beat.
Relief, fear, doubt...
A mix of emotions swirled in the minds of the leaders of various sects.
They were all waiting, waiting for the final result, waiting for the moment the secret realm would open.
But at this moment, time seemed to stretch out countless times, and every minute and every second was torture.
Within the secret realm, the crimson sky in the northern region seemed to grow even more intense.
Xiao Qiushui stood atop a small hill piled high with corpses, her crimson eyes scanning the silent world like a king surveying his kingdom of death.
The black bear lay prostrate at his feet, growling softly.
The blood of the Qingyuan Sect disciples temporarily extinguished some of its violence, but the madness that had arisen deep within it due to Shen Rugo's disappearance was still burning fiercely, waiting for its next target to be unleashed.
The Burial Valley is a vast and boundless secret realm, divided into five areas, each relatively independent and separated by spatial barriers that cannot be crossed.
The southern region is a strange world where ice crystals coexist with exotic flowers and plants.
A faint mist hung in the air, yet the spiritual energy was so dense it was almost impenetrable, though it carried a chilling coldness.
In the center of this area, a little girl of only thirteen years old stands quietly under an ancient, ice-blue tree.
She wore a moon-white robe, the hem of which fluttered gently in the chilly wind. Her skin was as white as snow, and her face was exquisite. Only her eyes were clear yet cold, as if they contained eternal ice, which was extremely incongruous with her age.
She is Shangguan Ling'er, a once-in-a-millennium genius of Lingxiao Pavilion, and the one that Lingxiao Pavilion's leader, Lingxiaozi, and others have always been concerned about.
At this moment, she was surrounded by spiritual energy, having already reached the Great Perfection of Qi Refining, and was only one step away from stepping into the Foundation Establishment realm.
But her slightly furrowed brows betrayed her inner dissatisfaction.
"The Frost Flower and Ice Soul Dragon Soul here are good, but they are far from enough for me to achieve the strongest Foundation Establishment."
Shangguan Ling'er murmured to herself, "Moreover, this secret realm is not limited to the area within a thousand miles of here. There are as many as tens of thousands of cultivators who have entered the secret realm this time. I have only seen tens of thousands of them, and I have not seen any of my other fellow disciples, especially my sister-in-law Wu Xuemei from the Qingyuan Sect."
Therefore, this is not the complete Burial Immortal Valley Secret Realm; there must be other areas hiding opportunities that allow me to achieve a perfect Dao foundation!
Shangguan Ling'er was born with a top-grade ice spirit root and the legendary ice phoenix physique. Her sect has always used secret methods to conceal her physique.
This combination of spiritual root and physique gives her an absolute affinity and control over ice-type spiritual energy. Once she grows up, her future is limitless. Even the highest level of the Nascent Soul realm in this world is by no means her final destination.
Of course, her spiritual root and physique are the highest secrets of Lingxiao Pavilion.
After repeated discussions, Lingxiao Pavilion finally decided to let her enter this secret realm, hoping that she could find an opportunity to break through to the Foundation Establishment realm and achieve the strongest Dao Foundation.
After all, the legendary Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment was too mysterious; even they had never heard of it or seen it.
Lingxiao Pavilion also provided this favored daughter of heaven with multiple treasures for protection, ensuring her safety.
Even a Nascent Soul cultivator couldn't harm her, and even when facing a half-step Divine Transformation cultivator, her magical treasures were enough to defend her.
The Valley of Burial Immortals is off-limits to those above the Golden Core stage.
After entering the secret realm, Shangguan Ling'er was randomly teleported to the southern part of the Burial Immortal Valley secret realm.
Although tens of thousands of cultivators entered this area, Shangguan Ling'er's luck was extraordinary. Whether it was a deeply hidden cave or a spiritual object guarded by a ferocious demon beast, she obtained almost everything. Her harvest was so abundant that it would make any cultivator envious.
However, she had extremely high aspirations and aimed directly at the legendary Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment, so she forcibly suppressed the urge to break through and searched everywhere for entrances to other areas.
Just as she was concentrating on sensing the fluctuations in space, several greedy gazes pierced through the cold mist and locked onto her.
Not far away, a dozen or so cultivators were quietly gathering.
"Look, it's that little girl! A few days ago, she took away a 300,000-year-old Xuanbing Lingzhi all by herself! You could feel the spiritual energy from a great distance!"
"She seems to be from Lingxiao Pavilion?"
"So what if it's Lingxiao Pavilion?"
In the secret realm, killing and plundering are all about skill!
"If we change our appearance, conceal our scent, and do something clean, who will know?"
"Besides, she's only at the Qi Refining stage. If a dozen of us Foundation Establishment cultivators team up and launch a sneak attack, we can kill her instantly! Then, the Mystic Ice Spirit Mushroom, and all the other treasures on her body, hehe..."
Greed ultimately prevailed over fear of Lingxiao Pavilion.
These dozen or so Qingyuan Sect disciples used secret techniques to change their appearances and conceal their sect insignia. Like lurking venomous snakes, they quietly surrounded Shangguan Ling'er.
How sharp is Shangguan Ling'er's spiritual sense?
They sensed it almost the instant the murderous intent was revealed.
She stopped, slowly turned around, and her cold gaze swept over her surroundings. There was no panic on her face, but rather a cold smile appeared.
"You coward who dares to hide your face and covet my things? Why don't you get out here right now?"
Her voice wasn't loud, but it carried a chilling coldness that seemed to freeze the air.
"Do it!"
The Qingyuan Sect disciple who was disguised as a rogue cultivator shouted, and more than a dozen people simultaneously unleashed their spiritual power. Various flying swords, magic weapons, and Taoist techniques transformed into colorful streams of light, bombarding Shangguan Ling'er like a tidal wave!
