The three flew towards the bottomless crevice, occasionally using the mountain wall to pause for a moment before slowly descending. They didn't know how long they flew before finally landing on the ground.

Although the crack was exceptionally deep, sunlight still shone through, and it wasn't as narrow as they had imagined. As they walked, the three of them came to a cave.

"Let's go in and take a look!" Ye Xianya said as she calculated.

The three of them were quite skilled and daring.

The cave was pitch black, covered with moss, and occasionally snakes and rats would dart by. As she walked, Ye Xianya smelled a strange fragrance.

“There should be some spiritual herbs or fruits deep inside this cave. The fragrance of these fruits is so strong, they are most likely ripe spiritual fruits, and there are quite a few of them,” the elder couldn’t help but say.

Ye Xianya nodded and continued walking forward.

After about fifteen minutes, light appeared ahead. After walking a little further, they emerged from the cave, and the three of them found themselves in a bright and open space.

What appeared before them was a large valley, filled with many exotic flowers and rare herbs, as well as some spiritual herbs and fruits. Many of the spiritual fruits were hanging on the branches, already ripe, and their fragrance wafted into the cave from there.

Ye Xianya and her companions walked along the pebbled path and saw some pavilions and towers. Further in, they came to a building that resembled a palace. To the left of the main hall stood a tall, strange rock with the words "Flying Snow Valley" written on it.

"Flying Snow Valley!" Ye Xianya looked at the Grand Elder: "Does our Great Yan Dynasty have such a place?"

There are many Taoist priests in the Great Yan Dynasty, but none of them are hiding in this underground fissure, and none of them are called Flying Snow Valley.

"Sect Master, I've just remembered some secrets passed down in our sect. Legend has it that in ancient times, there were many sects in the world, not just Taiyi Sect. However, many sects gradually disappeared into the long river of time, and now only Taiyi Sect remains. If the spiritual energy of heaven and earth cannot be revived and the path to ascension is cut off, in a hundred or two hundred years, Taiyi Sect will also become a thing of the past."

Ye Xianya immediately understood what the Grand Elder meant.

"The elder is saying that Flying Snow Valley was an ancient sect, but it disappeared with history," Ye Xianya said.

"Hmm!" The First Elder nodded: "I've had nothing to do, so I've read almost all the books in the sect's library. There was indeed a Flying Snow Valley in ancient times, but the books don't record its exact location. I didn't expect that this earthquake would bring the Flying Snow Valley to light."

No sooner had he finished speaking than the doors of the main hall suddenly opened.

Ye Xianya and Qi Chengshuo instinctively drew their weapons.

In the center of the main hall stands a throne carved from white jade, upon which sits a young woman with her eyes closed, as if she were asleep.

The woman wore a moon-white robe embroidered with snowflakes. She was extremely beautiful, with a flawless, snow-white face and exquisitely delicate features, though her lips were pale and lacked color.

“This…this Flying Snow Valley is a sect from tens of thousands of years ago. Unless one achieves immortality, even if a mortal cultivates to the limit and has many rare and precious treasures to prolong their life, they will definitely not live past a thousand years old. This woman…” The Grand Elder said, taking two steps back: “Sect Master, it is impossible for someone who died ten thousand years ago to have their physical body preserved so well, looking so lifelike. There must be a trap here. It might be a trap set by the demon race. We must be careful!”

Ye Xianya nodded upon hearing this. Just as she was about to say something, the woman suddenly opened her eyes. When her beautiful, shimmering eyes looked over, even Ye Xianya felt a little dazed.

Although it only lasted for a moment, it was still terrifying.

Ye Xianya has a powerful soul, so she shouldn't be affected.

Unbeknownst to her, in that moment of distraction between her and the Grand Elder, three long swords suddenly flew out from behind the woman and slashed directly at them.

On the contrary, Qi Chengshuo, who seemed to be weaker than them, was completely unaffected and knocked all three swords away at an extremely fast speed.

The woman was clearly surprised that Qi Chengshuo would be unaffected, and subconsciously glanced at him.

At that moment, Ye Xianya's attack arrived.

Ye Xianya regained her senses faster than the Grand Elder. As soon as the sword was kicked away by Qi Chengshuo, she summoned the jade bone fan in her hand and charged directly at the woman.

Logically speaking, with their current strength, even if the strongest demon emperor in the world were to come in person, they should be able to hold their own.

As for the others, they certainly couldn't withstand the combined attack of the three of them, but this woman, who was as beautiful as an ice fairy, was exceptionally strong and did not fall behind.

After several rounds of fighting, both sides stopped.

They couldn't kill the woman, and she couldn't do anything to them either, so there was no point in continuing the fight.

"Time has passed, and the world has changed. I never expected that upon my reawakening, I would encounter such a formidable enemy. Which sect are you from? Why must you antagonize my Flying Snow Valley? Retreat at once, and I will allow you to pick some spiritual herbs and fruits outside. If you continue to pester me, don't blame me for being impolite!"

"May I ask, senior, has the Flying Snow Valley lost its lineage, or has it remained hidden from the world all along?" the Grand Elder couldn't help but ask.

He didn't believe that this woman was an old witch who had lived for tens of thousands of years.

This Flying Snow Valley is most likely a secret lineage, but because its strength has greatly diminished and is far inferior to that of the ancient times, it can only remain a reclusive sect that does not concern itself with worldly affairs, training only one or two disciples per generation to ensure that the sect's lineage is not broken.

This woman might not even be as old as him.

"This is a secret of my Flying Snow Valley, not to be revealed to outsiders. You should leave quickly and not disturb my cultivation," the woman said coldly.

Upon hearing this, the Grand Elder subconsciously looked at Ye Xianya beside him.

Whether to stay or leave, he would listen to the sect leader.

"Xianya, there's something wrong with this woman," Qi Chengshuo said, frowning.

He sensed a sinister aura emanating from this woman.

He might be a heretical practitioner!

Ye Xianya nodded upon hearing this.

Even now, she is still trying to figure out the past of the woman in front of her, and the past of Flying Snow Valley.

Even Qi Chengshuo felt that something was wrong with this woman, so Ye Xianya certainly couldn't be completely oblivious.

“Sister Jiang Yi, you are all alone in Flying Snow Valley now. It’s quite boring living in this valley. Why don’t you come with us to go outside and have a look? As you said, time flies and the world changes. More than 10,000 years have passed since the day you died. This land now belongs to the Great Yan Dynasty. The emperor of the Great Yan Dynasty is very enlightened and will not take back your Flying Snow Valley. This place will still be your territory!”

Upon hearing Ye Xianya's words, the woman's eyes widened in surprise.

How...how could she know my name and my past?
