Reborn Divine Doctor: The Abandoned Girl's Legend

Chapter 450: Chapter 320: Secret Discovery

Ever since Princess Qing Bi of Beiqing arrived, Xiahou Qi had been troubled by her incessantly.

This royal noble from Beiqing, today she wanted to hunt Spiritual Beasts, tomorrow she wanted to investigate the secret of the Hei Wu, so Xiahou Qi could only suppress his annoyance and attend to her cautiously for fear that something might happen to her on Daxia’s territory.

For this, Xiahou Qi also apologized to Ye Lingyue several times.

However, Ye Lingyue didn’t take it to heart; in her opinion, with the Qian Cauldron in hand, she’d have a smoother time acting alone than having a group of people investigate the source of Hei Wu.

And so, it was only Ye Lingyue who could investigate the matter of the Hei Wu.

Initially, she thought that the Qian Cauldron could absorb the Hei Wu, and coupled with the method Ye Lingyue thought of for treating the strange disease, the condition in Xixia Plain would be quickly pacified, but to her surprise,

The Hei Wu showed no signs of receding but instead intensified.

Earlier, when Ye Lingyue absorbed Hei Wu within the Evil Drop’s region, it only disappeared for half a day before surging back with renewed vigor.

Looking at the Hei Wu that grew thicker by the day, looming like dark clouds, Ye Lingyue couldn’t help but frown.

One day, Ye Lingyue and Aguduo rode together atop a spirit bird, looking towards the most concentrated area of the Hei Wu.

”Master, look, the Hei Wu is continuously spreading out from there,” Aguduo pointed out ahead. In a certain area of the plain, a huge sphere, like a black Luminous Pearl, was embedded in the entire Xixia Plain. Even from a thousand meters high in the air, it was perfectly clear.

In the vicinity of that area, the Hei Wu was as thick as splashed ink, and every day, a massive amount of Hei Wu spread out from within.

”Black Valley, the source of the Hei Wu must be Black Valley. It’s just that with the black air rampant, even entering it, one can only maintain presence for two hours at most. Two hours, to find the origin of the Hei Wu in the vast Black Valley, is very difficult.” It was just that the fog in Black Valley was far too dense, and even with the help of the Qian Cauldron, Ye Lingyue was not fully confident in penetrating deep into Black Valley.

Suddenly, Ye Lingyue felt a burning sensation in her chest, and upon reaching into her clothes, she pulled out a segment of Flower Vine.

Most of Ye Lingyue’s possessions were left in Hong Meng Heaven; she carried only two things close to her, one was the ”Phoenix Token” Feng Xun had Cong Lv bring earlier, and the other was a segment of Flower Vine from Lady Qiu Tian, an Ancient Creature, that she had casually stuffed away.

The Flower Vine, having failed Lady Qiu Tian’s tribulation earlier, had gradually withered.

However, since the appearance of Little Qiu Tian, the continuation of Lady Qiu Tian’s life, Ye Lingyue noticed that the Flower Vine had revived.

Ye Lingyue’s thoughts stirred slightly; last time, after Lady Qiu Tian’s failed tribulation, it was with this Flower Vine that she entered Black Valley undetected, and this time, she wondered if she could rely on the Flower Vine to re-enter Black Valley.

With this thought, Ye Lingyue instructed Aguduo to return to the Pastoral Village first.

With a thought, Ye Lingyue chanted silently in her heart, going to the place where she first encountered Lady Qiu Tian.

Her consciousness had just formed when Ye Lingyue felt enveloped in a verdant light, and in the very next moment, she vanished.

When she opened her eyes again, Ye Lingyue couldn’t help but gasp for air.

She had already found herself within Black Valley.

Around her was a green sphere of light, just large enough to cover Ye Lingyue.

”Little Qiu Tian, was it you who helped me?” Beside her, a rustling sound came.

Little Qiu Tian appeared next to Ye Lingyue out of nowhere.

To prevent Little Zhiyo and Little Wuya from being affected by the Hei Wu, and to avoid arousing Hong Mingyue’s suspicion, Ye Lingyue usually kept the minor animals and Little Qiu Tian in Hong Meng Heaven.

Under normal circumstances, without her summoning them, the little ones would not leave Hong Meng Heaven.

But today, Little Qiu Tian took the initiative to show up, or could it be? That Black Valley was its homeland, that some mysterious force was calling it here?

Perhaps sensing Ye Lingyue’s confusion, the little creature nodded vigorously, stretched out a Flower Vine, and gestured towards the orb of light beside Ye Lingyue, then towards the front, nodded and shook its head.

”The light orb outside of me won’t last for long. You want me to leave quickly?”

Ye Lingyue had just finished asking when a strange noise came from behind.

Ye Lingyue couldn’t help but turn her head.

Ye Lingyue realized that this was clearly the place where she and Lady Qiu Tian had first met.

It was the location of the Ancient Sealing of the Three Sects and Nine Schools, but now shrouded in the Hei Wu, the situation here was entirely different.

Gone was the vibrant green vitality, and instead everything was coated in frost and eerily desolate.

Yet at the spot where Lady Qiu Tian had been, a bizarre giant eye caught Ye Lingyue’s attention.

It was a pair of gray eyes, massive and sprawling, masking hundreds of feet as if they belonged to a giant.

The golden bead of the eye was like a sun embedded in the ground.

The eye was ancient and forbidding, and with each roll of the eyeball, a large amount of Hei Wu gushed forth.

Noticing something amiss, the eyes suddenly moved, and a strike, sharp like an Ice Blade, shot towards Ye Lingyue.

Little Qiu Tian by her side suddenly raged, as Flower Vines quickly shielded in front of Ye Lingyue.

A Flower Vine was severed and fell to the ground.

What on earth was going on with this pair of eyes? Previously, there was nothing here.

Ye Lingyue was shocked as Little Qiu Tian urged her to leave quickly.

With no other choice, Ye Lingyue could only retreat temporarily.

However, Little Qiu Tian was unwilling to leave.

”Are you saying? You want to stay here for a while?” Ye Lingyue was surprised by Little Qiu Tian’s sudden request.

In this Black Valley, with such severe Hei Wu, even a cultivator who had reached the Reincarnation Realm would suffocate and freeze at any moment, let alone the tender and green Little Qiu Tian.

Ye Lingyue couldn’t help but hesitate.

In her heart, Little Qiu Tian, Little Wuya, and Little Zhiyo were all her companions.

Little Qiu Tian nodded at the Flower Disc, looking righteously determined.

Ye Lingyue gave a wry smile.

Indeed, Lady Qiu Tian must have stayed in the Black Valley because of this terrifying pair of eyes.

Although Little Qiu Tian had not fully grown into Lady Qiu Tian, it subconsciously knew that it had to protect this land.

”Alright, I’ll leave you here temporarily. If you feel unwell, return to Hong Meng Heaven immediately.” After making sure Little Qiu Tian showed no sign of discomfort, Ye Lingyue used Flower Vines to swiftly exit the Black Valley.

Not long after Ye Lingyue left, a figure in the dense Hei Wu uttered a light exclamation.

Within the Hei Wu, a man wearing a ghost face could be faintly seen, different from Wu Zhong’s ghost face, the man’s was a silver mask, the same one seen earlier in Yan City observing the ghost fire.

”To think that someone else has discovered the Eye of the Primordial Demon like me.” Pondering for a moment, the man withdrew and left as well.
