Chapter 572: Sleepy

"Ayuan, do you sense that the clouds are a little strange?" Shen Xu suddenly asked and Zhen Yuan tilted his face upwards.

"What’s strange about them?" He asked.

"They all look like little sheep." The double said, looking at the fluffy sheep in the sky.

However, Zhen Yuan couldn’t see the sheep but he understood Shen Xu’s state of mind.

"Are you also feeling sleepy?" He asked and the double turned to look at him.

"You too?" Shen Xu asked and Zhen Yuan nodded.

"I don’t know why but I have been feeling sleepy for a while now." He said.

Hearing this, Shen Xu shook his head to clear his mind, and looked at his partner with a solemn expression.

"Could we have eaten or drank something wrong?" He wondered but Zhen Yuan didn’t agree.

"We have been eating and drinking the same things for thousands of years. It’s unlikely that the sleepiness has something to do with our diet." He said.

"Then what?" Shen Xu asked but Zhen Yuan didn’t know the answer.

"Xiaoxu, I feel like I am about to fall into a deep sleep. We should make arrangements." He said and Shen Xu nodded.

"I think so too." The double agreed and quickly continued.

"We are three days from the Ten Thousand Poisons Valley. I think we should strive to reach the core area and then enter the space from there." He suggested.

The Ten Thousand Poisons Valley was an unknown area that had appeared more than three hundred thousand years ago.

Unfortunately, the place was filled with poisonous plants, beasts, and even the air was a poisonous mist.

Because of this, ordinary cultivators didn’t dare to enter, and poison masters didn’t dare to venture into the inner areas.

Fortunately, Zhen Yuan had always been immune to Poisons and Shen Xu had his father’s bracelet.

Most importantly, after climbing the dark stairway, Shen Xu had also gained natural immunity and could easily enter the unknown area.

Considering this, the two decided that the Ten Thousand Poisons Valley was the best place to cross Shen Xu’s tribulation.

"What arrangements should we make?" The double asked.

"First, drink a lot of moon essence liquid. We can also prepare a moon essence liquid bath to lay in while we are sleeping." Zhen Yuan said and quickly continued.

"Second, we need to manage our immortal stones. We might need to absorb some while we are sleeping, but also need to leave some for the space."

"Third, we will leave some puppets out of the space. Let them explore the unknown area, and collect poison resources." He concluded and Shen Xu nodded.

"Great." He said.

Three days passed and the ship landed at the entrance of the unknown area.

Unlike the Wuhu unknown area that had countless people at the entrance, there were only four people at the entrance of the Ten Thousand Poisons Valley.

Most importantly, the four wore the clothes of the Ten Evils sect, and had masks on their faces.

[Poison masters from the Ten Evils sect.] Shen Xu stated and Zhen Yuan nodded.

[Let’s avoid them if we can.] He said.

The four were heaven immortal realm masters, and didn’t pose a threat to the two.

However, Shen Xu was on the verge of breaking through and wasn’t suitable for a fight.

Additionally, both felt extremely sleepy, and didn’t want to engage in a fight in their current state.

Thinking this, Zhen Yuan released his great immortal realm aura and led Shen Xu towards the entrance.

Sensing the aura and seeing the people, the Ten Evils sect’s disciples panicked, and desperately ran into the unknown area.

’They have saved us a lot of trouble.’ Shen Xu thought.

Soon after, the two entered the Ten Thousand Poisons Valley and the double gasped in astonishment.

At a glance, the air was filled with all kinds of colourful poison mists.

"Pink, purple, black, blue, ..., it’s difficult to distinguish which poison is which." He said.

"We can figure it out after we wake up." Zhen Yuan said.

After that, the two released some puppets, gave them storage equipment, and asked them to collect as many Poison resources as possible.

When that was done, Shen Xu and Zhen Yuan hurried towards the centre of the unknown area, not even caring about the resources along the way.

Ten days passed and the two finally arrived at the centre.

The centre had dense poison mists, making the air feel like sludge.

However, the two weren’t bothered, and busied themselves with preparing for Shen Xu’s advancement.

"How are you feeling?" Zhen Yuan asked.

"Sleepy but also ready to advance?" The double said.

In just one day, Zhen Yuan arranged lightning guiding formations and Shen Xu adjusted his condition.

When everything was ready, the double sat cross-legged and released his cultivation.

After the tribulation transcending realm, the number of tribulation lightning reset to nine at every stage.

However, the number of lightning waves was the same, but the intensity at every level was different.

At this time, Shen Xu and Zhen Yuan watched as the sky turned dark, and tribulation lightning began to form.

Soon after, a purple lightning bolt fell from the sky and struck the double’s right shoulder.

At the same time, Shen Xu began absorbing the lightning and Zhen Yuan also activated his lightning technique to absorb the excess.

Maybe because of their high body cultivation level and extreme body tempering, Shen Xu didn’t suffer too much under the tribulation lightning.

Three days passed and the dark clouds broke into immortal rain.

After absorbing the rain, the two removed their traces and entered the space.

"Ayuan, should we let a high level puppet take the chaos flame space pendant out of the space?" Shen Xu wondered.

After all, they didn’t know how long they would be asleep.

Although they didn’t expect to sleep for so long that the Ten Thousand Poisons Valley would merge into the immortal realm before they woke, they still needed to account for that possibility.

"Let’s do that. It can wait in the core area until we wake, and if there are changes, it can take us away from the Ten Thousand Poisons Valley." He agreed, and Shen Xu nodded.

"My thoughts exactly." He said.
