Incredible Sect Simulator-Chapter 754 - 722: Crossing the Valley of No Return

Chapter 754: Chapter 722: Crossing the Valley of No Return

The Celestial Wind is not an ordinary storm, but a natural disaster in the Qingli Sea, powerful enough to overturn rivers and seas.

Even if a Golden Core Cultivator gets caught in the Celestial Wind, if they lose their way and cannot find a direction, they will inevitably be exhausted to death.

Moreover, the Celestial Wind in the Valley of No Return is somewhat peculiar.

Unlike the frequently occurring Celestial Wind in the Qingli Sea, the one in the Valley of No Return sweeps through the valley all year round.

Accumulated over many years, the activation of wind and water elements has intermixed the Celestial Wind in the Valley of No Return with Wind Blades.

When the Celestial Wind becomes powerful enough, it forms Wind Blades.

These Wind Blades are like blades, and with the fierce blowing of the Celestial Wind, they become one with the wind, capable of tearing everything apart.

When cultivators encounter the Celestial Wind, being trapped within is already fraught with danger.

To then face the threat of Wind Blades as well makes the peril even more dire.

"No return once entered, truly a Valley of No Return."

Knowing that they need to cross the Valley of No Return, where Celestial Wind runs rampant, Xu Tiangxiang showed a look of bitterness.

"Do we really have to jump into this pit? Can’t we go around it?"

Xu Tiangxiang asked, unwilling to venture pointlessly into the Valley of No Return.

Lu Ping and the other two also pondered secretly, sharing Xu Tiangxiang’s thoughts.

Since the Celestial Wind makes navigating the Valley of No Return difficult, taking a detour naturally seems a better choice.

Spending more time is much better than confronting the Celestial Wind directly.

With this in mind, the four of them quickly entered the territory of the Valley of No Return.

The surrounding mountains of the Valley of No Return rose and fell, but were not high; the tallest peaks barely more than a thousand feet, while most ranged around a few hundred feet, forming a complex terrain with countless ravines and valleys.

The Valley of No Return lay among these undulating mountains, resembling from an aerial view a massive ravine carved between the mountains with a sword.

Within this ravine, the Celestial Wind swirled, blowing everywhere, producing a persistent whooshing sound, interspersed with subtle clinking noises — the Wind Blades, under the sweep of the Celestial Wind, constantly tearing and chipping away at the valley’s rocky walls.

"This is the Valley of No Return."

Elder Jiang and the other two stood on the Void Escape Ship with Lu Ping, casting their gazes towards the distant Valley of No Return. Lu Ping’s eyes flickered as he spoke calmly.

"Looking at the situation of the Celestial Wind in the valley, there are indeed Wind Blades swirling. To be safe, we should cross from above."

Lu Ping suggested.

Elder Jiang and the other two all nodded in agreement.

However, they soon discovered that things were not as simple as they had thought.

As their Void Escape Ship sped over the Valley of No Return, the four of them noticed an invisible force ahead, blocking their path.

If Lu Ping hadn’t been cautious, using his Divine Sense early to scout the way, he might have led Elder Jiang and the other two straight into that invisible force.

"Hmm? What is this..."

Lu Ping noticed something, and halted the Void Escape Ship in the air, just before the invisible force.

Reaching out, Lu Ping could feel this invisible force, which felt as soft as cotton candy to the touch.

Yet, even so, passing through this cotton candy-like invisible force was no simple feat for Lu Ping.

"Lu Daoist, what do you mean by this action? Did you discover something?"

Seeing Lu Ping’s unusual actions, as if he had discovered something, Sect Leader Tai also made a move, expanding his Divine Sense for a closer inspection.

As soon as his Divine Sense extended forward a short distance, Sect Leader Tai found it blocked.

There was a force in the void ahead firmly blocking the progress of his Divine Sense, allowing not even a hint of advance.

"Huh?"

Seeing this, Sect Leader Tai wondered aloud, "What exactly is going on here?"

Meanwhile, Elder Jiang and Xu Tiangxiang also noticed this, both examining the invisible force ahead to find out why it appeared here.

"This place is peculiar indeed."

Xu Tiangxiang exclaimed, realizing he too could not penetrate this invisible force.

"Could this be a means left by the Void Celestial Extreme Saint?"

Speculating, he investigated other areas ahead.

At the same time, Lu Ping, Elder Jiang, and Sect Leader Tai discovered that this invisible force extended across the sky above the Valley of No Return.

It seemed to suggest that flying over the valley was not possible, and another way must be found to cross it.

For example, traversing through the Valley of No Return itself.

All four entertained this thought and began to try it out, soon realizing it was indeed the case.

The entire sky above the Valley of No Return was like a no-fly zone.

Only by setting foot in the valley below did the invisible force cease to exist.

"Quite strange, could it be a deliberate method arranged by the Void Celestial Extreme Saint to force us to cross the valley below?"

Xu Tiangxiang speculated, unable to suppress a wry smile.

"What kind of strategy is this? Intentionally giving us a hard time?"

He was utterly baffled.

From the nature of this invisible force, it seemed not naturally formed by the heavens and earth but made by human hands.

Moreover, within it, there was a discernible aura of divine transformation, causing the four of them inwardly to feel uneasy, not daring to confront it head-on.

Against Cultivation Energy left by a Divinity Transformation Cultivator, not even a Golden Core Cultivator could contend, let alone a Nascent Soul Stage Cultivator. 𝗳𝐫𝚎𝗲𝚠𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝘃𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺

The disparity in strength between them was simply too vast.

Who could this Divinity Transformation Cultivator be?

"Void Celestial Extreme Saint."

The name appeared one after another in the minds of the four.

All four sank into thought.

"Whether it is or isn’t, we’ll know once we try traversing the Valley of No Return."

Sect Leader Tai spoke first, suggesting, "The Celestial Wind in the valley certainly can’t be that formidable. Crossing the Valley of No Return together shouldn’t be a big deal with our combined strength..."

Sect Leader Tai left his words unfinished, but his meaning was clear.

No matter how strong the Celestial Wind was, could it withstand the combined efforts of four Late-stage Golden Core Cultivators?

If the Void Celestial Extreme Saint deliberately set such a barrier, forcing them to cross the Valley of No Return, then the power of the Celestial Wind might not be too perilous.

Otherwise, how could any Golden Core Cultivator dare to venture into the Black Sea and reach the Inheritance Hall?

"Indeed, let’s follow Sect Leader Tai’s suggestion."

Xu Tiangxiang agreed, "If the Void Celestial Extreme Saint did this, there must be some reason, rather than casually teasing us juniors."

If reluctant to face the Valley of No Return could not be avoided, they would have to brace themselves and cross it.

The four of them reached a consensus and decided to continue crossing the Valley of No Return on the Void Escape Ship.

Standing firm on the Void Escape Ship, Lu Ping directed his Magical Power, and the Flying Ship carried the four of them into the Valley of No Return.
