Chapter 795: Chapter 662: Entering the Forbidden Domain, Ten Thousand Mountains and Valleys

Chu Mu meditated all night, and the next morning, Chu Tianren appeared with sleepy, drunken eyes, yawning and eating breakfast on the roadside.

Chu Mu found that his third uncle was indeed a true wanderer. If he didn’t release his Soul Sense and summon his Soul Pet, it would be difficult for others to detect the awe-inspiring aura of a Soul Emperor from him.

Upon awakening, Chu Mu’s first task was to feed his soul pets. They were all in the stage of rapidly increasing their strength, so they had quite an appet.i.te.

Mo Ye and the White Nightmare Demon each ate 1 Spirit.

As the morning sun rose over the mountain, Chu Tianren summoned his Cloud Crane and flew ostentatiously the sky above Wogu City before heading straight towards Ten Thousand Broken Stinger Valley.

Located behind the mountain range where Wogu City was situated, the northern mountains of Ten Thousand Broken Stinger Valley were different from those in the south. The southern mountains were mostly made up of hills, plateaus, and basins, and even the mountain ranges seemed endless. In contrast, the mountains in the north mostly consisted of towering peaks and deep valleys that offered a stark visual contrast.

As one of the most famous dangerous places in the World Realm, Ten Thousand Broken Stinger Valley lay hidden beneath these majestic peaks and in the complex network of valleys. Any of these valleys could potentially house the nest of a large insect clan, and accidentally entering one would result in a tragic end with nothing but bones left.

After countless years of confrontation between humans and Demon Worms, humans gradually understood some aspects of Ten Thousand Broken Stinger Valley.

They divided it into Four Valleys: Ten Valleys, Hundred Valleys, Thousand Valleys, and Ten Thousand Valleys.

Only Soul Lords dared to step into the Thousand Valleys, where the average strength of their Soul Pets had to be at least at the Monarch level, and they still had to be accompanied by a team and proceed extremely carefully.

In fact, the Thousand Valleys region was still only the boundary between humans and the Forbidden Domain. Once they pa.s.sed through the Thousand Valleys, they would enter the true Forbidden Domain, where countless insect species resided. The territories occupied by these insect species were even broader than those of several human settlements combined, so a person would need to be a Soul Emperor with several Emperor-level Soul Pets to make any progress in the Ten Thousand Valleys.

There were quite a few Soul Emperor experts among the human population, but they rarely ventured into the Ten Thousand Valleys because the death rate there was extremely high. Scholars estimated that 40% of Soul Emperors who entered the Ten Thousand Valleys in the past several centuries returned with damaged souls, while only 10% of them made gains on their venture.

With such a ruthless ratio, which Soul Emperor would be willing to risk their lives? Losing a Soul Pet could greatly undermine a Soul Emperor’s status. With an Emperor-level Soul Pet, they’d come up the hard way and obtained supreme glory; no one would want to lose everything over such a gamble.

“After pa.s.sing the Thousand Valleys, we can only travel on foot through these mountain peaks and insect valleys,” Chu Tianren, who had sobered up, said to Chu Mu.

“Yeah.” Chu Mu obviously understood the rationale behind the no-flight rule in the Forbidden Domain.

“The initial qualification for the World Throne is a Demon Worm internal organ crystal. We can kill several and sell them. I guess some Soul Emperors who care about face but lack courage may still be willing to spend money to buy them, hehe,” said Chu Tianren with a smile.

“How much can you sell one for?” Chu Mu asked, raising his eyebrows.

The price of a Quasi-Emperor-level internal organ crystal was only around 500 Spirit, which was already considered quite cheap.

“It should be around 2000.” Chu Tianren said, “To kill a Quasi-Sky Demon Worm Emperor, you must have an army of first-grade tribes. With their extraordinary breeding capabilities, their army of first-grade tribes almost doubles in number. Therefore, killing a Quasi-Sky Demon Worm Emperor without four or five Quasi-Emperors is almost impossible. Even if Old Hands like us go against Soul Emperors supported by influential forces with a Low-grade Emperor and some Quasi-Emperors, they might not be able to kill a Sky Demon Worm Quasi-Emperor.”

“So, Third Uncle has already investigated the situation in Ten Thousand Broken Stinger Valley,” said Chu Mu.

“Ahem, I wouldn’t forget about the important task. My old friends from last night often inquire about this, so they knew as soon as I asked,” Chu Tianren’s face turned red.

“Just by killing Quasi-Sky Demon Worm Emperors, the profit is already not bad,” Chu Mu said with a smile.

With each internal organ crystal priced at 2000 Spirit, they could gather enough for a Quasi-Emperor by killing five, though with greater difficulty.

“In addition, we need to save our Soul Power. Even during a big battle, we must preserve at least half of our Soul Power and reserve an Emperor-level Soul Pet. We’ll be trapped deep within the Ten Thousand Valleys, and powerful pursuers may come after us after a battle. If we don’t reserve a Soul Pet, we might get killed halfway through our return journey, so we must have a well-coordinated Soul Pet lineup…” Chu Tianren said.

“Yeah.” Chu Mu nodded.

Within Ten Thousand Broken Stinger Valley, Chu Mu couldn’t use the same tactics as in the Barbarian Mountain Range, where he could continuously change Soul Pets to eliminate the Leopard Tribe until their entire tribe was wiped out. In this valley, Chu Mu had to conserve as much strength as possible to face the approaching Soul Emperors who wanted to obtain an initial nomination qualification.

“We should be the first to enter Ten Thousand Broken Stinger Valley. Soon, some bold Soul Emperors and others seeking initial nomination qualifications will also enter the valley. You said you can find the Spiritual Origin, so we’d better act quickly to prevent others from discovering it and take what we’ve worked so hard to get,” Chu Tianren said.

“Rest a.s.sured, Third Uncle,” Chu Mu replied.

Fox Elder was known as a spirit-finding expert of the last century. If he didn’t find a spirit source like that of the Leopard Tribe Village, Chu Mu would have to pluck this old fellow’s beard.

“I’ve inquired. Almost all areas in the Ten Thousand Valleys are saturated. It’s impossible to find a new spirit source unless you venture deeper into areas that few people dare. Unfortunately, those places probably already have Fourth-Level Tribes. They gave me a map suggesting some places I could visit,” Chu Tianren said.

As he spoke, Chu Tianren took out an old map of the Ten Thousand Broken Stinger Valley.

This map was only about two palm-sized, with many little black triangles and red lines densely packed on it, making one’s eyes dazzle. According to the map’s legend, the little black triangles represented mountain peaks over 5000 meters high, while the red lines, varying in thickness, ran through many small black triangles, representing the complicated narrow mountain valleys.

On the red lines, there were different color markings that represented various Insect Species tribes’ habitats, such as mountain gorges, caves, stone chambers, rift valleys, and underground worlds…

“This map, which cost me quite a few silver coins, is from a great scholar who studied the geographic data of the Ten Thousand Broken Stinger Valley for hundreds of years. He combined this data with the testimonies of the Soul Emperors who have been to the valley. Although it’s not an original copy, its accuracy is over 90 percent. They suggested I visit these locations…” Chu Tianren pointed to some map points that were marked in a different color.

Chu Mu leaned in to look and found that these locations were as small as grains of sand on the map. If not for the color difference, Chu Mu wouldn’t have been able to see them at all.

From this, one could see that the Ten Thousand Broken Stinger Valley was indeed extensive, and even with a map, one might still get lost.

“Let’s head to Wuling Cave first, as it’s the closest untouched area. There’s rumored to be a tribe with a new spirit source there. If we don’t find anything, we’ll continue to the next location,” Chu Tianren suggested.

Since it was a hidden spirit source, it wouldn’t be obvious; most likely, spirit-finding experts like Fox Elder would have to investigate the area first to find results. As such, they needed to visit these locations first…

Wuling Cave was a long way from their starting point; they had to traverse countless mountains and valleys without flying and wondered how long it would take them to reach their destination.

On their journey, if they encountered Insect Species groups blocking their path, Chu Mu and Chu Tianren would send out their sub-pets for combat, both to preserve their main pets’ combat power and to provide training opportunities for their sub-pets.

As they were now in the Insect Valley, Chu Mu’s main focus for training was Zhan Ye!

Zhan Ye had dual-main attributes plus darkness. It was difficult to find Tenth-Level soul crystals for it, so Chu Mu planned to purchase them to strengthen Zhan Ye. As for finding a Spirit Master to help, only someone like Teacher De would be possible. So, Zhan Ye was still at the High-Level Monarch stage.

Fox Elder also advised Chu Mu directly to use spirits to strengthen Zhan Ye.

Spirits were the purest form of energy with no attributes. Through special spiritual devices and synthesis by a Spirit Master, Emperor-level spirit items could be extracted. In general, a First-Level Emperor spirit item would require a total of 10,000 spirits for fusion, so a Quasi-Emperor’s value would also be 10,000 spirits.

Fox Elder’s idea was that since Chu Mu had many spirits, he found Zhan Ye’s strength to be more important. Using pure spirits to strengthen Zhan Ye would consume around 2,000 to 3,000 spirits, which was perfect since Chu Mu had collected 3,000 spirits after killing the World Lord and Sun Qiming.

Strengthening Zhan Ye from High-Level Monarch to Peak Monarch with 2,000 to 3,000 spirits would be quite extravagant. This was equivalent to using about twenty to thirty percent of the resources for a Quasi-Emperor. Even with a lot of money, it was rare to see such extravagant strengthening.

However, Chu Mu couldn’t bear to spend the spirits in such a manner. He estimated that soon Teacher De would reach Wogu City; Chu Mu planned to gather Tenth-Level insect attribute soul crystals, Tenth-Level beast attribute soul crystals, Tenth-Level dark attribute soul crystals, or some special attribute spirit items in the Ten Thousand Broken Stinger Valley and bring them back to Wogu City to be fused by Teacher De.

In the past when his level was low, it was easier for Chu Mu to find matching spirit items for his soul pets. But now that his level had increased, it was more challenging. In the future, to strengthen his soul pets, he would likely need to find a Spirit Master for fusion or find all-attribute strengthening spirit items.

…

“We’re not far from Wuling Cave. Let’s check what kind of soul pet tribe is there first,” Chu Tianren suggested as he stood on a misty mountain peak, gazing at the black valley hidden below several towering mountains in front of him.

Chu Mu looked into the distance. Over time, he had grown numb to the endless mountains and valleys. Now that they had finally arrived at their destination, he was excited. He instructed Fox Elder to get ready to find the spirit source with his soul sense.
