"So you named it Crying Ape Valley."
"good."
"Yan'er thought this place would be called Purple Fairy Crying Ape Valley again?" Nangong Ziyan smiled teasingly. Thinking of Purple Fairy Valley, her heart was filled with excitement. It turned out that he already had her in his heart.
Bei Ming Haotian stopped and looked at Nangong Ziyan. His smile was gentle, like the wind and water, but Nangong Ziyan felt happiness and warmth in it.
"I have thought about it, but this place is not suitable. In winter, it is covered with ice and snow. Unlike other places, it is beautiful all year round."
"Haotian, bang bang...!" Nangong Ziyan frowned and looked around. "Haotian, did you hear anything?"
Bei Ming Haotian looked at Nangong Ziyan with suspicion, as he hadn't heard a sound. "Yan'er, I didn't hear anything."
"No? How could that be? The banging sounds were very loud."
Nangong Ziyan looked at him with a puzzled expression. Logically speaking, Haotian's cultivation level was higher than hers, so he should have heard it before her, right?
Bei Ming Haotian knew she wasn't joking, and listened attentively for a while longer, but still couldn't find anything unusual.
"Which direction is the sound coming from?"
“It’s in this mountain.” Nangong Ziyan pointed to a tall mountain behind her, somewhat incredulous. How could she hear a sound coming from inside? The waterfall cascaded down the side of this mountain. She had looked at it carefully during the day. This solitary mountain range was like a tower, pointed at the top and round at the bottom, standing alone in this valley, surrounded by flat land. It looked like a tall building rising from the ground.
Bei Ming Haotian looked surprised and suspicious. He turned around and looked at the mountain. It was just some rocks and short trees, nothing special.
"Yan'er, are you sure the voice is coming from inside?"
Bei Ming Haotian asked again, and he really hadn't noticed anything unusual.
"Yes! It was very loud, Haotian, how could you not hear it?"
Nangong Ziyan was somewhat surprised! Could it be that her cultivation level had unknowingly increased?
Bei Ming Haotian gathered his spiritual energy and probed it slightly. A look of surprise flashed in his dark eyes!
"Yan'er, it's empty inside."
"Empty?" Nangong Ziyan was astonished. Such a tall mountain, and it was actually hollow?
"Haotian, could there be some kind of trap or mechanism? Let's look for it."
"Let's give it a try!" Bei Minghaotian squinted at his surroundings. He had been here several times and had never found the place to be empty, nor had he ever heard any cries coming from inside.
The two then searched carefully, but found nothing.
"That's strange, why is there no entrance?" Nangong Ziyan pondered.
"Haotian, do you think it might be on the other side of the mountain?"
“Yan’er, that’s impossible. This is the only path on this mountain. The rest of the path leads to the mountain itself. Ordinary people can’t get up here. You said you heard a sound here, so the entrance must be here.” Bei Ming Haotian said with certainty, determined to find the entrance. He also wanted to see what secrets were hidden inside. Yan’er could hear the cries, but he couldn’t.
"Haotian, take a closer look. Could it be sealed off by a barrier? For example, a living forest barrier, a living spirit wood barrier, or a darkness barrier." The most likely possibility that Nangong Ziyan could think of was that it had been sealed off by a barrier.
"Yan'er, you know a lot about barriers. Can you tell me why your cultivation level can't improve?" Bei Ming Haotian had always wanted to ask Yan'er this question, but he was afraid of hurting her pride.
"Haotian? The question you asked is one that Yan'er also wants to know, but she just can't find the answer. Yan'er knows all the cultivation methods, but no matter how hard she tries, she can only reach the Spirit Master level and can't break through. Yan'er can't even beat the eight-year-old child in her second uncle's family, so Yan'er can't answer the question you asked either."
Nangong Ziyan shook her head, genuinely not knowing the answer. According to the female protagonists in the transmigration novels she had read, they all thrived after transmigrating. She was the most pathetic one, but at least she became a pharmacist. If she couldn't even cultivate her pharmacist skills, she might as well go back to her hometown.
"That's how it is." Bei Ming Haotian lowered his head, thought for a moment, and then said, "Yan'er, after some time, we will go to see Master Yunxiao. Master Yunxiao should know what's going on." Bei Ming Haotian had to find out the reason why Yan'er's cultivation could not improve. He did not want Yan'er to be able to cultivate to the highest level. She had to be able to protect herself. This world was too cruel.
"Alright! Venerable Yunxiao is someone Yan'er has always wanted to see." Nangong Ziyan said in a deep voice, her teeth clenched. With just one sentence from him, she had been imprisoned in the South China Sea Glazed Palace for sixteen years, a full sixteen years. She was going to ask him what had happened.
"Yan'er, don't hold a grudge against Master Yunxiao too much. He did all that for your own good!" Bei Ming Haotian knew what she was thinking. After all, his master never did anything without a reason.
"Let's talk about this when we meet Venerable Yunxiao!" Nangong Ziyan said, tapping around as she spoke.
"ah……?"
Nangong Ziyan let out a scream, and then she was gone.
"Yan'er." A heart-wrenching scream rang out, filled with terror, despair, and anger...
Tian Haoze and Hua Rujin, who were hiding in the shadows, could no longer hide and hurriedly ran over.
"Ah! Help! It's so dark in there, Haotian, it's just me, I'm afraid of the dark..." Nangong Ziyan kept screaming.
"Yan'er, don't be afraid, I'm coming to save you." Bei Ming Haotian rushed to the spot where Nangong Ziyan had just disappeared. He reached out his hand, and suddenly, like a whirlpool, he was sucked in.
