Bone regeneration

After inspecting the box, Mo Yuan handed it to Mo Zuili and said, "It seems that the senior who entered the Immortal Valley last time took it first."

Mo Zuili held the stone box in her hand and examined it for a long time, repeatedly confirming that it was just an ordinary stone box containing common treasures.

There are no bizarre developments that protagonists often encounter in novels, such as a senior taking the treasure from the box but forgetting the stone box, only to find that the stone box itself is a treasure with great potential.

Mo Zuili chuckled at her own absurd association, casually put the stone box into her storage ring, and continued walking deeper into the Immortal Valley with Mo Yuan without stopping.

Along the way, following the undulating terrain and the remaining traces of magic arrays, the two managed to find several useful secret manuals and treasures.

But these are not the methods Mo Zuili is looking for; what she needs is a way to solidify her foundation.

The inner part of the Immortal Valley is vast and boundless, rarely visited by humans. Only a small group of people from the top of the human, demon, and monster realms can directly enter this place.

They didn't encounter a single cultivator on the way, but they did run into two ferocious demonic beasts, both of which Mo Yuan dealt with easily.

The turning point came in front of a cliff.

Mo Yuan ran his fingertips along the blurry patterns on the cliff face and frowned, saying, "There are gaps."

Having said that, Mo Yuan gathered spiritual power in his palm and gently pressed it on the intersection of the lines. The magic array was activated, revealing a cave entrance.

Fresh soil still clung to the edge of the cave entrance, and looking inside, all one could see was an impenetrable darkness.

Mo Zuili peeked inside and, drawing on what Shen Ling had encountered in the Immortal Valley in the novel, said, "It seems to be the secluded cultivation place of some senior."

Mo Zuili put it euphemistically: there are no seniors in seclusion in the Immortal Valley, but there may be the corpses of seniors who have ascended to immortality.

Mo Yuan withdrew his probing divine sense and took the lead in stepping inside.

Mo Zuili followed closely behind. The cave was very dry, and the ground was paved with smooth bluestone slabs.

Seeing that Mo Yuan had stopped, Mo Zuili poked her head out. In front of her stood a stone tablet as tall as a person.

Mo Yuan leaned closer to examine it closely. There were inscriptions on the stone tablet, which recorded the life of the tablet's owner, but the inscriptions were now blurred.

Mo Zuili also joined in, and together with Mo Yuan, they figured out that the owner of the monument was once a renowned genius in the cultivation world. For some reason, he was reborn after his bones were broken, destroying all his cultivation and meridians, and started cultivating from scratch, finding his own path, and finally attaining immortality.

"Broken bones regenerating..." Mo Zuili murmured.

Isn't this the clue I've been looking for to solidify my foundation?

Mo Zuili was first puzzled, then excited, but before her excitement had subsided, a trace of doubt emerged again.

Wasn't it too easy for me to go from entering the Immortal Valley to finding this place?

Mo Zuili turned her head to look at Mo Yuan, who was scanning the entire cave with his divine sense. After a while, he said softly, "There is no dangerous aura nearby. Let's continue to look around."

Having come this far, there's no reason to back down. First, solidify our foundation, then find Qi Shuyan and see what that damned system is really up to.

Mo Zuili suppressed her doubts and followed Mo Yuan deeper into the cave.

The deeper you go, the thinner the spiritual energy becomes, replaced by a peculiar aura. It's not the chilling, oppressive energy of demonic energy that makes you feel tense all over; instead, it's very gentle, yet it has an indescribable strangeness, like some kind of energy you've never seen before, silently wrapping around you.

Mo Zuili felt uneasy.

Mo Yuan suddenly stopped, raised his right hand, and a long sword appeared out of thin air.

The sword body is made of black iron, with a cold and hard luster, while the hilt is wrapped with a layer of light pink. The combination of black and pink creates a strange, calm and elegant atmosphere.

This was the first time Mo Zuili had seen Mo Yuan take out his sword since she transmigrated into the book.

Mo Yuan traced the blade with his fingertips and said to Mo Zuili, "I'll add an extra layer of protection for you. If anything seems amiss inside, don't worry about me. Just use talismans to blast a path and run. My cultivation won't remain in the Immortal Valley..."

Before Mo Yuan could finish speaking, Mo Zuili suddenly jumped forward and covered his mouth with her hand.

Seeing Mo Yuan's brows furrow slightly and his eyes filled with doubt as he looked at her, Mo Zuili slowly moved her hand away, her gaze drifting as she said, "I understand, I understand what you mean from the end, you don't need to say it all!"

Just kidding, this kind of "I'm strong enough, I won't die" statement is a standard flag in novels!

Every character who dares to speak out ends up getting into trouble, and Mo Zuili doesn't want Mo Yuan to run into that kind of situation.

Mo Zuili still remembers how hastily Chu Qing died in the novel. Readers were all guessing in the book review section that the author cut the outline about Chu Qing, forcibly making him and himself disappear in order to make the male lead turn evil.

After returning home and discovering that her father had died because of the fake daughter, Mo Zuili would truly feel guilty.

Mo Yuan sighed, not pressing Mo Zuili's unusual behavior for answers. He gathered spiritual energy at his fingertips, weaving a light blue protective layer around Mo Zuili's body, and then reminded her again, "Remember, staying alive is the most important thing."

Mo Zuili nodded obediently and raised her hand to summon the Phoenix Flame Spear.

Just as the two stepped into the deepest part of the cave, an unexpected event occurred.

The previously peaceful space suddenly rippled violently as three figures darted out from the shadows.

Three ferocious beasts resembling tigers and leopards, their bodies covered in snow-white fur, with faint golden spiritual energy swirling within, exuding a touch of divinity.

Normally, such divine beasts wouldn't attack cultivators on their own initiative, but as soon as they appeared, they stared intently at Mo Zuili, letting out low growls, and pounced on him.

Mo Zuili recalled the descriptions in the novel: in some places inside the Immortal Valley, there were demonic beasts guarding the treasures, who might attack outsiders who intruded.

She wanted to step back so as not to interfere with Mo Yuan's actions.

Mo Yuan swung his sword to meet the attack. A flash of black sword light, and the ferocious beast at the front collapsed to the ground, lifeless, without even letting out a scream.

But the remaining two ferocious beasts seemed to be enraged, and their attacks became even more ferocious.

At the same time, countless pale green specks of light suddenly floated up from the stone walls on both sides of the cave. The specks of light converged into translucent shapes of vegetation, and attacked the two of them.

Wow!

Mo Zuili almost swore. The spirits of plants and trees have no physical form and specialize in attacking the divine sense.

This kind of attack is more difficult to deal with than the claws and fangs of a ferocious beast. Mo Zuili had known about this kind of spirit in the Immortal Valley from the novel. She had specially trained her divine sense defense before, but she did not go deep into it. After all, according to the original plan, Mo Zuili had never thought of entering the Immortal Valley.

Seeing Mo Yuan looking at her, Mo Zuili gritted her teeth and used her spiritual barrier to withstand the first impact of the soul. Mo Zuili gasped for breath and shouted, "Father, I can handle this. You focus on dealing with the ferocious beast!"

As soon as she finished speaking, the second and third impacts followed one after another. Mo Zuili felt a throbbing pain in her head, and her consciousness felt as if it were being pricked by countless fine needles.

Gritting her teeth, Mo Zuili sent a wisp of her divine sense into the Sumeru Ring. Without bothering to examine it carefully, she took out a bottle of pills and swallowed them all.

Feeling her spiritual sense instantly become stronger, Mo Zuili was finally able to catch her breath and exhale, thankfully she hadn't picked up the wrong medicine bottle.

As one of the only two disciples of Danzun Chu Qing, Mo Zuili kept many strange and unusual pills that she had asked Chu Qing to refine in her Sumeru Ring in order to prevent any accidents.

Among them are pills that temporarily enhance spiritual awareness.

After finally managing to disperse the spirit of the plant, Mo Zuili felt her vision go black as she experienced dizziness due to excessive consumption of her spiritual energy and the side effects of the pill.

Just as Mo Zuili was about to lean against the stone wall to catch her breath, she was suddenly embraced by a pair of strong arms.

"Father!" Mo Zuili was stunned and noticed that blood was seeping from Mo Yuan's left shoulder.

This was to protect himself; he took a vicious bite from the beast's claw...

Mo Yuan released Mo Zuili, raised his hand and swung his sword, completely eliminating the ferocious beast that had tried to launch a sneak attack before its death, and said, "Let's continue."

Mo Zuili nodded silently and continued walking inside.

On the way, it belatedly came to his senses that those ferocious beasts and spirits seemed to have all come for him.

Even though Mo Yuan had killed the first ferocious beast and his aura was even more ferocious, the remaining beasts were still fixated on him.

Before Mo Zuili could think it through, another unusual movement occurred ahead.

An ancient tree, so large that it would take three people to encircle it, stands there. Several traces of magic arrays remain beside the tree, and the arrays are still in operation.

“This tree has sentience, and its cultivation level is probably at the mid-stage of the Golden Core realm.” Mo Yuan gripped his sword and said to Mo Zuili, “You stay here, I’ll take care of it.”

Mo Zuili nodded and remained where she was.

Mo Yuan flashed forward, his sword thrusting straight at the trunk of the ancient tree. The tree shook violently, and countless branches and leaves lashed at Mo Yuan like whips, but were all deflected by the sword light.

Mo Yuan seized the opportunity to spread his divine sense, and in a short while, the ancient tree's spiritual sense was dispersed, and the trunk slowly withered.

The magic circle beside the tree lost its spiritual power support and became even more blurred.

Mo Zuili stepped forward and squatted down, her fingertips brushing over the patterns of the magic array. Combining this with her previous knowledge of magic arrays, she noticed something unusual and called out, "Father, inject spiritual power into the southwest corner and forcefully break the array."

Mo Yuan glanced at Mo Zuili strangely, then smiled as he recalled Mo Zuili's skillful use of magic arrays during the demon race's trial.

Following Mo Zuili's instructions, they poured their spiritual energy into the magic array. With a crack, the array shattered, and the scene before them changed several times, eventually revealing a wooden box half-buried in the ground.

Mo Yuan bent down to pick up the wooden box, carefully examined it with his divine sense, and only opened it after confirming that there was nothing unusual.

Inside was a yellowed scroll.

Mo Yuan examined it for a while longer, checking it over again. After confirming that there was nothing unusual, he smiled and handed it to Mo Zuili: "It seems like a method that will be useful to you. My spiritual energy is quite depleted, so take a look for yourself."

Mo Zuili took the scroll, and as soon as her fingertips touched it, a suction force suddenly came from the scroll.

Mo Zuili subconsciously released her divine sense to investigate, and the scene before her suddenly blurred, only returning to normal after a long time.

Mo Zuili pressed her head, sat on the ground, still holding the scroll in her hand.

Mo Yuan smiled and handed her a herb: "This is the last material. Now that you've found it, you can set up an array in the Immortal Valley to solidify your foundation."

Mo Zuili smiled and nodded. The two of them collected all the materials in the Immortal Valley according to the method on the scroll. Mo Zuili sat down to meditate and circulated her spiritual power according to the method of bone regeneration.

After the pain subsided, there was an unprecedented sense of comfort. Mo Zuili could clearly feel her foundation becoming more and more stable, and her cultivation level was steadily improving, faintly touching the threshold of the Nascent Soul stage.

After leaving the Immortal Valley, Mo Zuili rushed to deal with the mess left by the Phoenix Clan. She easily dismantled Huang Tianyao's power and became the rightful Demon King.

Mo Zuili broke through to the Nascent Soul stage and made great strides, regaining his reputation as a "genius".

With everything settled and everything thriving, Mo Zuili stood atop Yaowang Mountain, gazing at the distant sea of ​​clouds, and sighed softly, "How wonderful, this is the life I should have."

The moment the words left his mouth, everything in front of him shattered like shards of glass.

Mo Zuili, amidst the shards, raised the corners of her mouth.
