Chapter 914: Gathering

Due to that golden page, countless cultivators looked for that place of legend. Countless disciples were all sent to various hidden places or forbidden areas to investigate.

In the end, the place was discovered by a disciple of the Noble Pavilion.

He risked his life to enter Misty Valley, and fell into a massive hole in the valley. Over there, he found an incredibly shocking place.

The hole he fell into was a massive lake. The lake was so clear there was no real way to describe it. It looked like a mirror that completely captured the sights of the sky. It felt like it was practically in the skies itself.

Very quickly, the disciple realized another amazing thing. He was not reflected by the lake at all!

The lake only reflected the skies and would ignore everything else.

At that moment, the disciple looked up to the skies to realize that his reflection was actually in the sky!

At that moment, the lake beneath him turned into the skies, but the skies turned into the lake. It was clearly what the lake golden page described!

The news quickly reached the various clans. Yet, for some reason, even some forces outside of the alliance managed to catch news of it. It caused movement in the whole star system.

At Lingyun Valley, there was a cave in one of the inner mountains. The cave was filled with ice, and unending waves of cold air would surge out of it. Even a second step Wisdom Elite would let out a shiver at the coldness.

…

In the cave and amongst the ice, a green-robed old man sat cross-legged. His face twisted and turned ferociously, and he looked incredibly shocking.

There was gray mist fluctuating within his body. He absorbed corrupted gray mist and was using the power of the ice to hold the corruption back.

“Valley master, there’s news on the golden page,” At that moment, a disciple sped over and told the old man about the discovery at Misty Valley.

The old man’s eyes suddenly opened as he laughed, “Even the heavens are helping me! As long as I get the method to cleanse the corruption, I can thoroughly refine the gray mist and complete my Wisdom. My powers will go up a level!”

He was so desperate for a way to cleanse the gray mist purely because he could not stand the temptation of the gray mist. He used it for training, and could no longer turn back.

“Spread my order. Immediately gather every disciple that’s at the first step of the Wisdom Elite Realm and above and head to Misty Valley!”

At Xuanyuan Sect, the white-clothed sect leader sat on the main seat in their hall as he said in a cold tone, “It’s only us five clans that know about the secret of the golden page. Who exactly allowed the information to leak out?”

To protect the secret of the golden page, the five clans secretly worked together to kill off anyone else who knew about it. Yet, the moment the location described by the golden page was discovered, over a dozen clans were immediately on alert. Who was it that did not protect the secret?

“Sect leader, many disciples have already departed from Lingyun Valley, and Noble Pavilion as well. The Demon Slayer Sect’s disciples are on the move. What should we do?”

The sect leader narrowed his eyes and they glinted, “Of course, we’re going as well! Those forces are nothing impressive. If push comes to shove, no one will be able to stand up to us. This time, we’ll be the victors.”

At the Celestial Demon Forest, in the cave where the ancient demon was.

“The gray mist reveals the future. Heaven and earth are overturned. The golden lake reveals itself, cleansing the mist?” The ancient demon’s soul danced as it spoke in a surprised tone.

They investigated in the recent period, and finally managed to figure out the contents of the golden page. Even the ancient demon was moved by it.

“Impossible, how could there be a way to cleanse the gray mist? If it existed, then that group back then would not have lost…”

“Unless… Unless what they said back then was true!”

“It’s a pity that no one believed it back then, or dared to try and believe it. Now… someone else is profiting from it. Hahaha, that’s hilarious.”

“The Misty Valley. That’s right, that place back then… No wonder!”

The ancient demon’s soul lit up and went dark constantly, showing that its temperament was very unstable. The Celestial Demon King and the others stood by the side, not even daring to breathe as they looked on.

“If there is a way, then… I’ll become a god!”

Even the painting on the wall lit up. A wave of immense pressure exploded outward, encompassing everything.

The Celestial Demon King said respectfully, “Ancient demon lord, what should we do?”

“Personally bring your people to Misty Valley. I want you to find a way to cleanse the gray mist no matter the price you have to pay!” The ancient demon said seriously.

After that, it said to Left Messenger, “Left Messenger, I’ll be able to come back as long as I have the blood of a supreme being. This is incredibly important, please try your best to find it for me as soon as you can.”

The body was far too important to him. The people on the sun started to go to the middle, so it could not just afford to sit back anymore.

It was only three days. Would the expert want any more meat?

Left Messenger felt a bit helpless, but she still said, “Very well, ancient demon lord.”

After that, she said, “Why don’t Bull and Donkey come with me to try our luck?”

The ancient demon was elated, “Hahaha, you are something else, Left Messenger. You have a plan. Bull, Donkey, did the two of you hear that? Listen carefully to Left Messenger’s instructions, understand?”

The bull and donkey demon said immediately, “Understood.”

Time was of the essence, and everyone flew away with their respective tasks.

The Celestial Demon King looked at the goat and pig demons, and could not help but go deep into his thoughts.

Not long ago, he had six elite demons next to him. Why were they cut down into two in such a short amount of time? He suddenly felt a little lonely, and had the vague feeling that it would be the last time he saw the bull demon and the donkey demon…

…

At Misty Valley, countless rays of light pierced through the skies and finally gathered at a spot.

Various forces started to appear, seemingly showing off their power and trying to gain the upper hand. Many cultivators also hid their auras and lay in hiding, afraid they would be noticed as they sneaked into the crowd.

“Is this where heaven and earth are overturned? It is something else!”

“The lake is clearly beneath us, but the reflections are in the sky. If I’m not seeing it for myself, I won’t believe there was such a sight in the world.”

“Where is the so-called way to cleanse the gray mist? Heaven and earth are already overturned, but what is the golden lake?”

Everyone discussed the matter amongst themselves as they constantly looked for any secrets nearby. Some wanted to dive into the water but found it to be impossible no matter how hard they tried. If they tried to attack the lake with spells, the spells would just be swallowed without a sound, not doing any damage.

At that moment, Noble Pavilion, Lingyun Valley, and the others slowly arrived. Their auras were naturally very impressive.

Looking at what happened in the valley, Lingyun Valley’s valley master had a look of shock on his face.

After that, he coldly asked the few of them who kept the secret initially, “How did our secret leak out and attract so many people?”
