<h4>Chapter 468: Nether Abyss Valley, Boundary Emperor Wuyue, Wuyue Meets Chu Kuangren</h4>


    The Nether Abyss Valley was one of the Ten Great Forbidden Areas of Firmament Star.


    Among the Ten Great Forbidden Areas, the Ancient Battlefield had the shortest span of history and thus was the safest location in the category. The remaining nine Forbidden Areas had a significantly longer history and were far more dangerous than the Ancient Battlefield.


    The Nether Abyss Valley was enshrined in thickyers of sinister aura all years along. Any cultivator who visited this ce would have their mind invaded by a peculiar form of energy. Few in history were able to walk out of this ce alive.


    In this instance.


    In one of the paths of the Nether Abyss Valley, Sage Ruler Changqin was proceeding with caution. He was surrounded by nothing but dead silence and the formless presence of the sinister aura.


    Unknowingly to him, Sage Ruler Changqin’s forehead was covered by a thinyer of cold sweat.


    He could feel an insurmountable amount of pain in his state of mind. All of a sudden, sinister hallucinations began to manifest before him.


    Sage Ruler Changqin even saw Chu Kuangren appear before his eyes.


    The Nether Abyss Valley was capable of making a person’s darkest feare alive before their very eyes, and Chu Kuangren was precisely the person whom Sage Ruler Changqin feared the most!


    “D*mn it. If these hallucinations keep on, I would turn insane. No wonder the Nether Abyss Valley is hailed as one of the Forbidden Areas. Even my Sage Ruler cultivation will notst long here. How do the seniors even live in a ce like this? They must be very formidable!”


    Sage Ruler Changqin could barely hold on with his Sage Ruler cultivation and stamina.


    Suddenly, he heard the cries of a murder of crows.


    Sage Ruler Changqin had yet toe across any living beings throughout his journey in the Nether Abyss Valley, but he could now hear the caws of the crows.


    Sage Ruler Changqin finally saw a glimmer of hope. “Have I found it?”


    He followed the sounds of the crows.


    Soon, he saw a wooden abode in the distance. Several crows were resting on the branches of a rotten tree before the house.


    “I’ve found it.”


    Sage Ruler Changqin rejoiced and hastily rushed forward.


    However, the crows on the branches immediately stared at Sage Ruler Changqin, their bloodshot eyes reflecting their cautiousness as they cawed incessantly.


    Their cawing was so excruciating to Sage Ruler Changqin’s ears. It was as if it could pierce through his soul, and he trembled uncontrobly. He immediately halted his footsteps.


    Sage Ruler Changqin stared at the crows warily.


    He then retrieved a ck wooden que and said, “I am the current ruler of the Heavenly Golden Pce, Sage Ruler Changqin. I’m here to see Senior Wuyue.”


    “Oh, the Darkwood Order. How are you rted to Chang Kuang?”


    The crows began to mutter. Their voices resembled the sharp tone of ady.


    Sage Ruler Changqin was weirded out by what he was witnessing. However, it was not the time to ask questions. “Chang Kuang is the forefather of my pce.”


    “Why isn’t he here, then?”


    “Well, Forefather Chang Kuang… He has passed away.”


    The murder of crows was shocked. After that, they flew into the air and merged into a tall, gracefuldy who wore a long ck dress.


    Wuyue grasped onto the air, sending Sage Ruler Changqin’s Darkwood Order flying towards her hands. “Dead? Chang Kuang is a Boundary Emperor. Aside from the entities that reside within the Forbidden Areas, no one should be capable of killing him in the outer world. How did he die?”


    Sage Ruler Changqin began narrating the series of events that started years ago. Boundary Emperor Wuyue was taken by surprise. “A Supreme Sage has appeared in Firmament Star? What sorcery! No wonder a ripple of energy appeared in the Heavenly Dao a few days ago.”


    Boundary Emperor Wuyue toyed around with the wooden que and said, “Since he’s a Supreme Sage, I’m sure hisbat strength is enough to rival a Boundary Emperor. Although I was once well-acquainted with Chang Kuang, my body is still in hibernation. I don’t see why I need to fight such a remarkable Sage just for your sake.”


    Sage Ruler Changqin had foreseen such a response from her. Hence, he retrieved a Yin and Yang Ring and passed it to Boundary Emperor Wuyue. Within it was a collection of the best treasures that the orthodoxies had prepared.


    “Senior, as you may know, there are plenty of Opportunities of Fortune in this great era that may be useful to you. I understand it is inconvenient for you to roam in the outer world since you are currently in hibernation. However, if you’re willing to help us through this battle, the Heavenly Golden Pce will be in your debt.”


    Sage Ruler Changqin said.


    Wuyue fell silent after she received the Yin and Yang Ring. Then, she peered into the depths of the Nether Abyss Valley. There were several other Boundary Emperors who were in hibernation just like her.


    The Nether Abyss Valley was not the only location with such an activity. The other Forbidden Areas were also home to entities like them.


    In the past, when Dharma was nowhere to be found, it was difficult for an Emperor to be born. As a result, many great cultivators could only reside within the Forbidden Areas, isting themselves from worldly affairs as they await their next opportunity to ascend into an Emperor. Some of them had even hibernated to preserve theirbat strengths.


    Though now that their opportunities were finally around the corner, the entities of the Forbidden Areas would soon awake from their slumbers.


    Boundary Emperor Wuyue thought it would be wise to prepare ahead.


    After all, the Heavenly Golden Pce was considered an excellent orthodoxy that could be of great use to her.


    However, was it worth it if it meant provoking a Supreme Sage?


    Boundary Emperor Wuyue was weighing the pros and cons of her decisions.


    At this point, Sage Ruler Changqin had no choice but to retrieve a light blue Supreme Elixir that emanated with mythical surges of Daoist Rhymes.


    “This is… an Emperor-grade Supreme Elixir!”


    Boundary Emperor Wuyue’s eyes lit up.


    “That’s right. It’s capable of extending a Boundary Emperor’s lifespan by at least ten thousand years. Please receive our offerings.”


    Even Boundary Emperors had a limited lifespan.


    The older they were, the weaker their bodies, the lower theirbat strengths would be. Otherwise, why would so many Boundary Emperors choose to go into hibernation to preserve their energy?


    An Emperor-grade Supreme Elixir that could extend a Boundary Emperor’s life by at least ten thousand years was no small temptation at all.


    Although Boundary Emperor Wuyue still had a long way to go before she reached the Heavenly Deterioration Stage Five, she just could not resist at all.


    “Since Chang Kuang and I used to be friends, I guess it would be rude of me to make a waste of such sincere efforts from you.”


    Boundary Emperor Wuyue said before she grabbed the Emperor-grade Supreme Elixir from Sage Ruler Changqin.


    “Thank you, Senior Wuyue.” Sage Ruler Changqin was smiling from ear to ear.


    …


    It had been almost three days since the ck Heaven Sect dered their intention to destroy the five orthodoxies.


    It was midnight now. After the sun rose, it would be time for Chu Kuangren to make his move.


    To everyone’s confusion, Chu Kuangren had never left the ck Heaven Sect in the past three days at all.


    How was he going to destroy the orthodoxies?


    At midnight.


    The moon hung brightly in the air.


    In the Towering Heaven Pce of the ck Heaven Sect.


    Chu Kuangren was sitting with his knees crossed as he familiarised himself with the energy within his body.


    His eyes opened abruptly as he cast his sight to several hundred kilometers away, just outside the ck Heaven Sect.


    A ck-dresseddy approached. She did not emit any energy waves at all as if she was one with the night.


    Thedy walked into the ck Heaven Sect like it was no man’snd.


    Apart from Chu Kuangren, no one else could detect her presence.


    “You sure have some guts toe in uninvited, thief.”


    Boundary Emperor Wuyue picked up on Chu Kuangren’s voice before she saw Chu Kuangren descending under the moonlight.


    Boundary Emperor Wuyue could not help but be amazed at what she saw. “I’ve always heard that the ck Heaven Sect Leader is a person of elegance and nobility. Now that I’ve seen it with my own eyes, it looks like the people weren’t lying after all.”
