Their shapes were distorted, some looked like wailing human figures, and some looked like ferocious beasts, roaring and pouncing on the people who had just woken up and were still weak!
"Defend!" Chu Linyuan shouted coldly, and the Frost Sword turned into a cold blue light, instantly killing several phantom monsters that pounced on Xie Zhao!
Tie Niu roared and swung his sledgehammer, smashing the approaching monsters and protecting his flanks.
Poisonous mist gushed out from Luo Hongyi's fingertips, and those phantom monsters collapsed as soon as they touched them, but they continued to pour out from the formation!
Su Tang endured the discomfort and held up a shield of willpower to protect several outer disciples who were in the worst condition.
Mo Chen also took action, and starlight fell, forming a pure area, temporarily curbing the growth of illusions.
"Xie Zhao! Break the formation!" Chu Linyuan said in a deep voice as he killed the monsters. He was responsible for resisting most of the pressure, buying time for Xie Zhao.
"Leave it to me!" Xie Zhao's eyes were sharp, and his Jinghong Talisman Pen was as fast as lightning. He no longer attacked the monster, but concentrated on analyzing the formation veins that were constantly flowing under his feet.
Sweat dripped from his forehead, and his mental strength was highly concentrated. "The center of the formation is not in a fixed position... It changes with the flow of spiritual energy... Brother! Three feet to the left! Attack there with all your strength! That is the current spiritual energy node!"
Chu Linyuan did not hesitate, and the Frost Silence Sword, carrying the overwhelming sword intent, slashed accurately at the place where Xie Zhao pointed!
As the sword light fell, the colorful light in that area vibrated violently, and the monsters that emerged instantly became much thinner!
"Five feet to the right! Come again!"
"Seven feet directly ahead!"
"There's a foot of emptiness above!"
Under Xie Zhao's precise command and Chu Linyuan's absolute power, the formation's operation was constantly interrupted, and the phantom monsters appeared slower and slower.
"Found it! The core array center is under that broken pillar!" Xie Zhao pointed fiercely at the base of a broken stone pillar. "But we need to destroy the three auxiliary centers at the same time to make it visible! Senior Brother, attack the center! Tie Niu, the left! Junior Sister Luo, the right! Senior Mo Chen, please use the power of the stars to temporarily stabilize the central spiritual energy flow!"
Everyone immediately followed his instructions.
Chu Linyuan and the sword became one, transforming into an extremely cold light that pierced the base of the stone pillar!
The Iron Bull's heavy hammer slammed the ground on the left!
Luo Hongyi shot a concentrated poison arrow towards a specific point on the right!
Mo Chen formed seals with his hands, attracting the starlight, which temporarily solidified the surging colorful light like shackles!
Rumble——!
The whole valley shook violently!
With a crisp sound like breaking glass, the light of the huge illusion array covering the valley suddenly dimmed and then completely disappeared!
The phantom monster disappeared like smoke.
Revealing the true appearance of the valley——
In the center of the valley is a simple stone platform that exudes a vast Taoist aura. Floating on it is an ancient jade slip that slowly rotates like a star and contains endless knowledge and power - it is obviously a legacy of an ancient powerful being!
Next to the stone platform, there is a piece of strange metal half a person's height, which is constantly flowing with starlight - this is exactly the core material "Star Core" that Mo Chen needs on this trip!
Elsewhere in the valley, vast tracts of rare and precious medicinal herbs, long extinct in the outside world, flourished. The shimmering glow and fragrant aroma of herbs were truly refreshing and soothing.
"Success!" Su Tang cheered, and her psychic eyes recorded everything brightly.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Although it was a dangerous experience just now, no one was seriously injured, but they were all mentally exhausted.
Mo Chen quickly walked over to the star core. After a careful inspection, a look of genuine joy appeared on his face. He bowed solemnly to Chu Linyuan and Xie Zhao, "Thank you both for your great help! This item is of vital importance to Xingyun Pavilion. I am deeply grateful!"
Chu Linyuan nodded slightly.
Xie Zhao said with a grin, "Senior Mo Chen, you're too polite. It's mutually beneficial."
Mo Chen carefully put away the Star Core, then glanced at the ancient inheritance jade slip and the valley of immortal herbs. He smiled and said, "We have reached our goal. I cannot stay any longer and must return to the Starfall Pavilion as soon as possible. This inheritance and the immortal herbs will all belong to your sect. I wish the Guixu Sect further success. If you have free time in the future, you are welcome to visit the Starfall Sea."
After a few polite words, Mo Chen took the two elders and turned into starlight, disappearing into the sky.
After seeing Mo Chen off, everyone in Guixu Sect immediately turned their attention to the inheritance and the magical herbs in the valley.
"I've made a fortune! I've really made a fortune this time!" Xie Zhao rubbed his hands, his eyes shining, "Brother, look at this inheritance..."
Chu Linyuan glanced at the jade slip and sensed it for a moment: "The Dao rhyme is pure and majestic, not an evil way. You can try to match it first. If it doesn't suit you, we can discuss it later."
He looked at Luo Hongyi again: "I'll leave the medicinal materials here to you."
Finally, he said to Tie Niu and Su Tang, "Take people to collect all the immortal herbs, and make sure the root systems are intact."
As soon as the order was given, everyone immediately took action like industrious bees, carefully but efficiently collecting all the harvest in the valley.
The harvest was fruitful and everyone was satisfied.
Chu Linyuan looked into the distance, the dark golden dragon pattern on his left cheek warmed up slightly, sensing the next direction.
"Rest for a while and then go look for the fragments."
The team quickly packed up and left the valley with a rich harvest.
Everyone had an excited look on their face. The ancient heritage and the fairy herbs in the valley had greatly enhanced the sect's foundation and also given the disciples more confidence.
Xie Zhao took out the bronze compass and injected his spiritual sense into it once more. The compass needle trembled, aligning with the direction Chu Linyuan had sensed. "Brother, that's right, this way! It doesn't seem too far away!" He spoke excitedly, the Jinghong Talisman Pen twirling joyfully at his fingertips.
The team advanced along a dry, ancient riverbed paved with colorful crystals. On either side were towering cliffs that looked as if they had been cut by knives and axes, and the terrain gradually became more dangerous.
Chu Linyuan walked in front, his spiritual sense like the most sophisticated radar, scanning everything in front.
His brows knitted slightly, almost imperceptibly.
Aside from the faint sounds of the secret realm itself, not even the scent of an ordinary insect or small animal could be detected. This abnormal silence often signified great danger.
