Chapter 287: Chapter 189: Yin Yang Valley

Luotian City.

After more than four months, Li Mu returned to this city once again.

Currently, the Independent Cultivator Alliance is offering rewards for tracking down his whereabouts. Having previously encountered three ’old acquaintances’, Li Mu chose to travel in disguise to avoid unnecessary complications, intending to gather information at the Celestial Secret Pavilion before leaving promptly.

Li Mu silently activated the Reversed Element Illusion Breath Technique to conceal his cultivation and used the Tier Five Spirit Fox Mask to alter his appearance into that of a charming Golden Core True Master.

A Golden Core True Master entering the city naturally did not need to queue. After a brief registration, he bypassed the guard’s inquiries and entered Luotian City directly.

Once inside, Li Mu headed straight to the Celestial Secret Pavilion.

The Celestial Secret Pavilion was bustling as usual, filled with guests, with the tea seats in the hall occupied by cultivators listening to the Tea Master discussing current events.

Upon seeing Li Mu’s arrival, the Qi Refining Cultivators and Foundation Establishment Cultivators lowered their voices respectfully.

“Senior! Welcome to the Celestial Secret Pavilion. If you wish to enjoy some tea, I can take you to the VIP room,” enthusiastically greeted a young maid to Li Mu.

Li Mu waved his hand, indicating it wasn’t necessary. He stood and listened for a while to the Tea Master’s stories, but quickly lost interest.

After listening for a while, Li Mu found that the Tea Master was speaking about information with little value.

The Tea Master also mentioned events that occurred in the Spirit Taming Sect over a month ago, which many cultivators listened to avidly. However, for Li Mu, who had experienced these events firsthand, the incomplete and superficial details were uninteresting.

Li Mu instructed the maid to take him to the second floor to purchase information.

The maid gladly complied, respectfully leading the way.

The maid led Li Mu into a Celestial Secret Chamber, successfully meeting Shi Hongyao.

After some familiar pleasantries, Li Mu went straight to the point and said, “I want information on a place where Yin Yang Qi is simultaneously dense and concentrated. Does your pavilion have such information?”

“Of course!” Shi Hongyao replied promptly, and after asking for clarification, said, “Daoist friend, please wait a moment. This information is quite obscure, so I need to check.”

Information about the gathering places of Yin Yang Qi is seldom sought, and even the well-informed Shi Hongyao had forgotten about this type of information. She turned to the bookshelf, searching through geographical books rapidly.

Less than half a moment later, Shi Hongyao had an idea and returned to her seat with a smile, quoting to Li Mu, “Daoist friend, detailed information about such a place is priced at thirty thousand Middle-grade Spirit Stones.”

Upon hearing this, Li Mu was slightly surprised. This information was somewhat expensive. Could it be a good place?

This amount of Spirit Stones was merely a drop in the ocean for Li Mu’s current wealth. He decisively took out three hundred Top-grade Spirit Stones from the Nine Treasures Spirit Pearl, promptly paying for the information.

Shi Hongyao happily accepted the Spirit Stones, drafted a Jade Scroll, and handed it to Li Mu, explaining, “Daoist friend, there are three locations where Yin Yang Qi gathers simultaneously. The first is an island called Thousand Stars Island, located in the western part of Changmin Sea, a million miles from our Southern Spirit Realm. It’s a remote, perilous place not easy to visit.”

“The second location is at the core region of Celestial Dragon Mountain, where there’s a Spirit Mountain. Yin Yang Qi is restricted by unknown Dao Essence and gathers on this mountain. However, this mountain is in the core of Celestial Dragon Mountain, surrounded by High-tier Demon Beasts, even sightings of True Dragons have been reported. Given your cultivation level, it’s not advisable to go there.”

“As for the third place, it is at the border between the Central State Spirit Realm and our Southern Spirit Realm, a place known as Yin Yang Valley.”

“This location is weird, causing loss of Divine Soul, disturbance of the five senses, and effects on the Divine Soul. However, strong Divinity Transformation Realm experts have explored there. The core region is thriving with vitality, Spiritual Qi is abundant, Yin Yang Qi shows polarization, yet there are no Heavenly and Earthly Treasures or much life presence, almost a desolate area, with frequent mysterious occurrences, quite eerie.”

“This place is relatively dangerous, unsuitable for habitation, even Demon Beasts are unwilling to go, gradually leading to its desolation.”

…

As Shi Hongyao described the three locations where Yin Yang Qi gathers, when she spoke about Yin Yang Valley, Li Mu’s eyes couldn’t help but light up. Isn’t this the place he’s seeking?

No one occupies such a place? That’s just perfect!

Li Mu received the Jade Scroll and infused it with his Divine Sense, checking the location of ’Yin Yang Valley’.

The border area of Central State Spirit Realm and Southern Spirit Realm, this Yin Yang Valley is extremely far from Luotian City; taking the Celestial Shuttle Spirit Ship to fly there might take a year and a half.

The Central State Spirit Realm, where the Upper Sect Profound Celestial Sword Sect is located, is a place filled with strong individuals and prodigies as common as clouds.

Sects like Qing Xuan Sect, Spirit Taming Sect, …, these sects may be considered local rulers outside of Central State, but within the Central State Spirit Realm, they might only be third to fourth-tier forces.

However, this Yin Yang Valley is some distance from Central State and not in the core region. Since it’s an unclaimed area, occupying it shouldn’t be an issue.

Thinking about going to such a distant place made Li Mu feel a headache; is he really going to waste so much time on travel?

Li Mu’s tightly frowning expression caught Shi Hongyao’s attention.

Shi Hongyao smiled slightly, kindly advising, “Daoist friend, are you planning to go to Yin Yang Valley? I suggest enhancing your cultivation before venturing into such a dangerous place!”

Facing Shi Hongyao’s kind reminder, Li Mu nodded and expressed his gratitude, then asked, “Shi Daoyou, is there any way to quickly reach Yin Yang Valley?”

Seeing Li Mu’s determination to go, Shi Hongyao no longer persuaded and replied, “Daoist friend, if you want to quickly reach Yin Yang Valley, you can use the Teleportation Array of the Illusionary God Sect.”

“Teleportation Array?”

Li Mu raised an eyebrow, curiously asking.

“Yes, the Illusionary God Sect is a major sect in the Central State Spirit Realm, and they have established sub-sects in Southern Spirit Realm like in Luotian City. Due to extreme distance from their main sect, they have set up teleportation arrays here, allowing travel between multiple cities, including direct routes to Central State and nearby cities.”
