Chapter 2053 - 2054: Within the Valley

The path through the Eastern gate has the most people, but the enemy's traps are also the most numerous, with many cultivators being instantly killed upon arrival in the Foreign Land Space, without even knowing what it looks like.

The scene was too tragic. Sun Wei and I immediately decided to run, but I headed south. At that time, Miss Murong was with me.

However, after hearing your voice, we took a detour northward, but upon returning to the Eastern gate, we found that the people from the Tianling Spirit Palace and the Cultivators Alliance had arrived there, and some surviving loose cultivators were already fighting the enemy.

The Tianling Spirit Palace seemed to have a formation, which helped, otherwise, they would have died in it. Miss Murong thought that the Tianling Spirit Palace and the Cultivators Alliance might break into the gorge, so she wanted to wait and see, hoping to charge into the gorge along with them."

Ling Zhenfei was a bit helpless. Murong Liuqing is quite competitive, but it's a pity. It's one of the Three Great Immortal Palaces, Wuliang Palace, but only she came. If she doesn't strive, who else will?

However, this isn't just about effort. The enemy clearly set up a pocket formation for you to fall into. If you really go in, you'd be a fool.

Zhang Zhenlin said, "But on my way north, I noticed several enemy groups heading towards the Eastern gate, making the chances of success seem slim."

Ling Zhenfei said, "I estimate that half of the power in this gorge is focused on the Foreign Land, and the other half is killing cultivators at various points. Once most cultivators are killed, they will support the gorge.

This means the surroundings of this gorge will be even more terrifying tomorrow. Whether it's the ones from the Foreign Land or our cultivators, anyone who knows the direction of the gorge will head this way."

Sun Wei asked, "Do you think we can win?"

Ling Zhenfei sighed and said, "It's hard to say. The Foreign Land has the home-field advantage with a steady supply of forces. Even if Dawen is gone, they still have the Zhiyi Boundary.

Moreover, many of their cultivators are like beasts with their unique cultivation methods, making them difficult to deal with unless we find a way.

But our side is not weak overall. As long as we cooperate well, there's a chance. More importantly, some will likely break through to the Pursue Heart State tonight.

From Dawen to Pursue Heart State, the increase in strength is significant, so there might just be a chance."

Zhang Zhenlin said, "From the looks of it, Brother Ling needs a major sect as a support to break through to Pursue Heart State."

Ling Zhenfei said, "That's right. With a major sect as a support, I don't have to worry about being disturbed during my breakthrough."

As they were talking, they suddenly felt a change in the spiritual energy between heaven and earth. The surrounding spiritual energy began moving in a distant direction.

If you looked in that direction, you could see a white light shooting into the sky.

Everyone was shocked. Ling Zhenfei said, "It seems someone has broken through to Pursue Heart State."

Lan Yan was somewhat shocked and said, "I didn't expect such a big spectacle when breaking through."

Ling Zhenfei said, "Yes, that's also why I dare not break through."

Zhang Zhenlin said, "It feels like this person isn't very far from us?"

Ling Zhenfei sensed it for a moment and said, "It seems to be near the West Gate. I guess it's Ji Tianlang from Mount Bu Zhou. They are near the gorge's West Gate."

Not long after, they felt another wave of spiritual energy in the air, showing that someone else had successfully broken through to Pursue Heart State.

Tonight, many will likely reach Pursue Heart State, especially those from major sects at The Threshold Realm.

Ling Zhenfei said, "Don't worry about it. Our Beggar's Chicken is ready. Let's eat first."

Ling Zhenfei moved the fire aside and pulled two Beggar's Chickens out from under the fire.

Both mud balls had dried out, and with a tap, the mud fell off.

The mud revealed the tin foil inside, along with an incredibly aromatic scent.

Everyone was amazed because the fragrance was so unique.

Despite being baked, once opened, there was a surprising amount of juice inside.

The aroma was also special, unlike anything smelled before.

Ling Zhenfei opened both chickens and said, "Don't be shy, just tear in."

The three began eating out of curiosity.

"Wow, this is unexpectedly good, absolutely delicious."

"It's so fragrant. The skin is crispy, and the meat is incredibly tender—what an experience."

Lan Yan was surprised and said, "It's amazing you can eat something this good with such simple preparation."

Ling Zhenfei poured each a cup of Heart-Talk Fruit juice, encouraging them to eat slowly.

The three ate while praising it, thoroughly enjoying themselves.

All these chickens came from Ling Zhenfei's manor's roosters, and despite their size, the four of them finished one completely, still wanting more.

After eating, Lan Yan took a sip of the Heart-Talk Fruit juice and was shocked. Originally thinking the Beggar's Chicken was already the peak of deliciousness, the drink proved even more so.

"I'm so satisfied. Full from food and drink, I can't imagine anything more comfortable."

Ling Zhenfei said, "Of course, there is, like everyone being safe. Once we return, I'll make a great feast."

Sun Wei exclaimed, "Great, I must live well just for that feast."

Zhang Zhenlin said, "I'll stick with you wherever you go."

Though they joked, they quickly began cultivating again.

The spiritual energy in this Foreign Land Space is so abundant that not cultivating would be wasteful.

Ling Zhenfei looked at Lan Yan and said, "Tomorrow, many sects will head to the gorge, Yanzi Gate will surely return."

Lan Yan said, "I'm so grateful. I don't know how to thank you."

Ling Zhenfei said, "There's no need for thanks. Meeting here is fate, and helping each other is only right."

Lan Yan said, "I regret not meeting you earlier; maybe my Senior Brothers and Sisters wouldn't have died."

Saying this, Lan Yan's expression darkened, obviously thinking of his lost Senior Brothers and Sisters, feeling sorrowful.

Ling Zhenfei said, "Don't be too sad. This is the environment we're in. We didn't come to the Foreign Land for adventure?

Adventure always involves risk. We should focus on surviving rather than mourning, or we might end up like them."

Lan Yan nodded in agreement.

"Thank you, Senior Brother Ling."

Lan Yan soon immersed himself in cultivation, a process immensely beneficial, considering their talent at reaching Dawen Realm before thirty, without question.
