Gu Qingze left Qingyun Sect the next day. Before leaving, he asked Senior Brother Lu and Senior Brother Helan to inform him if Chu Lingxiao returned to Qingyun Sect during his absence.
Because his cultivation level (Spirit Transformation Stage) has reached the qualification for training in Qingyun Sect, he no longer needs to leave under the pretext of accepting a sect mission this time.
After leaving, he flew directly to Red Maple Valley on his sword. Red Maple Valley was not close to Qingyun Sect. He did not arrive until he had been flying non-stop for three days.
When the whole view of the Red Maple Valley came into view, he could not help but be shocked. He saw red maples all over the mountains in full bloom, with red leaves fluttering in the wind, and interwoven with the clouds and mist in the valley, forming a dreamlike picture.
The spiritual energy in the valley is so rich that it is almost liquefied. Every breath makes people feel relaxed and happy, as if even their cultivation is improving.
However...Gu Qingze did not indulge too much in the stunning scenery and rich spiritual energy of the Red Maple Valley. He knew very well the purpose of his trip, so he quickly focused his mind and began to look around, looking for the legendary Wuyou Zhenren.
He first tried to explore with his spiritual sense, but the fluctuations of spiritual energy in the Red Maple Valley were extremely complex, and his spiritual sense was greatly restricted here, and could only explore an area of several hundred feet around him.
He also discovered that once he entered the Red Maple Valley, he could no longer fly with his sword. It seemed that there was a taboo in the sky above the Red Maple Valley. In desperation, he could only rely on his own feet to search step by step in this vast valley.
He walked along the path covered with flying red leaves and encountered many rare and exotic animals along the way, but he never stopped and just concentrated on looking for the trace of Master Wuyou.
He asked some spirit beasts in the valley, but they seemed unaware of the existence of Wuyou Zhenren and just looked at this outsider with curiosity.
As time went by, Gu Qingze had traveled almost all over the Red Maple Valley, but still couldn't find any trace of Wuyou Zhenren. He began to get anxious, worried that he had missed some important clue.
Just when he was about to give up, a fiery red fox suddenly appeared in front of him. The fox's eyes gleamed with wisdom, as if it could see through people's hearts.
It slowly spoke in human language, "Are you looking for Wuyou Zhenren? Perhaps I can provide you with some clues."
Gu Qingze's heart moved, and he hurried forward to ask.
The fiery red fox told him that Master Wuyou was not in the regular area of Red Maple Valley, but was hidden in a mysterious place shrouded in clouds and mist.
To find him, you must pass through a dangerous foggy forest and solve an ancient puzzle.
Upon hearing this, Gu Qingze's eyes flashed with determination.
Perhaps finding Wuyou Zhenren...itself is part of the second trial...
So he thanked the fiery red fox and resolutely set out on the road to the misty forest.
The Misty Forest, located deep in the Red Maple Valley, is shrouded in thick clouds and mist, like an unknown territory.
The moment Gu Qingze stepped into the forest, he felt an oppressive atmosphere coming towards him, and the scenery around him became blurred, as if every step was on the edge of the unknown.
He moved forward cautiously, keeping his mind fully alert to the movements around him.
However, this forest seemed to have a mysterious power that could interfere with his consciousness and make his perception dull.
He had to rely on his intuition and reaction to deal with possible dangers.
Suddenly, a burst of hurried footsteps was heard. Gu Qingze turned around quickly and saw a huge beast rushing towards him.
The beast was huge, with jet-black fur and fierce eyes. It was obviously a ferocious monster.
Gu Qingze did not dare to delay and immediately drew out his sword and started a fierce battle with the beast.
Swords flashed, beasts roared, and a life-and-death battle unfolded in this misty forest.
Relying on his extraordinary skills and agility, he finally defeated the beast, but he also suffered serious injuries.
He panted and continued to move forward. He knew that this was just a small test given to him by the misty forest, and the real challenge was still to come. He had to remain vigilant and be ready to deal with any possible danger.
After several hours of arduous journey, he finally arrived at the mysterious place shrouded in clouds.
There was an ancient altar standing in the center, engraved with complex runes and patterns.
Gu Qingze knew that this was the ancient mystery he needed to solve.
He carefully observed the runes and patterns on the altar, trying to find the patterns and solutions.
After much thought, he finally found the clue to solve the mystery and successfully activated the altar.
A dazzling light shot out from the altar and soared into the sky.
Gu Qingze knew that he had successfully found the location of Master Wuliu.
He felt a surge of anticipation, not knowing what the next trial would be, but he was fully prepared to face the challenge.
