Sect Master’s Immortal Journey Chapter 218: Advancement

Chapter 218: Advancement

Guang Hong Daoist’s approach was not to suspect Meng Zhang; he thought his information might be flawed but targeted Zhao Jiudou instead.

Guang Hong Daoist kept everyone here. If Zhao Jiudou hadn’t discovered the Twin Success Valley remnants’ secret base below, they wouldn’t have to follow this futile mission.

If Zhao Jiudou had found the Twin Success Valley remnants’ secret base, he would have likely encountered some hardships.

Based on Guang Hong Daoist’s understanding of Twin Success Valley, the secret base definitely harbored many hidden cards to ensure its security.

Zhao Jiudou, a mere Foundation Building initial stage cultivator, even with the God of the Earth shuttle at his command, would most likely suffer significant losses if he rashly charged forward without caution.

Being the cunning old fox that he was, Guang Hong Daoist didn’t need to take any direct action. He simply set a secret trap for Zhao Jiudou.

In Zhao Jiudou’s place at the bottom, he had no idea about what was happening above. He only knew to control the God of the Earth shuttle, advancing through the bottom hurricane, directly towards their objective.

The stones in front seemed to part like flowing water, clearing a path on either side, posing no obstacle to the God of the Earth shuttle’s progress.

But above ground, everyone was silently waiting.

After a while, Guang Hong Daoist lowered his body and used the technique of listening, paying attention to the sounds below.

The technique of listening was not a rare secret technique; some of the Foundation Building period cultivators present were somewhat familiar with it.

Following their lead, everyone else bent down, listening attentively to the sounds below.

After a considerable time, some sounds emanated from the front at the bottom.

The sounds from the deep below were not concealed from the listening technique of the Foundation Building period cultivators present.

Guang Hong Daoist’s spirit lifted, indicating that Meng Zhang’s judgment was correct—the Twin Success Valley remnants’ secret base was indeed in front at the bottom.

Guang Hong Daoist’s goal was to make Zhao Jiudou experience some hardship, not to kill him here. He didn’t care about Zhao Jiudou’s life or death, but he worried that any accidental mishap would be hard to explain to Flying Swan Sect. Zhao Jiudou, despite being unpleasant, was still a disciple of the Flying Swan Sect, and problems couldn’t happen right under his nose.

Guang Hong Daoist waved his hand, and several Foundation Building period cultivators on the scene displayed Earth Escape Spell, sneaking to the bottom and heading towards the front.

From more than ten li (about 5 kilometers) ahead, at a depth of over 300 zhang (about 1 kilometer), lay the Twin Success Valley’s secret base.

It was a giant cavity naturally formed underground, later discovered by the Twin Success Valley seniors unintentionally. Due to its hidden location, it was transformed into a secret base.

Over 300 zhang (about 1 kilometer) deep underground, there were massive caves transformed from the day after tomorrow, serving as the residences for the personnel inside.

Even an ordinary Foundation Building period cultivator wouldn’t randomly venture into such a deep place without a clear goal. As for Refining Qi period cultivators, they didn’t have the ability to enter this place at all, let alone leave.

Currently, three Foundation Building period cultivators resided here, along with over 20 Refining Qi period cultivators.

This secret base didn’t have a direct passage to the surface; Foundation Building period cultivators would directly use Earth Escape Spell to go in and out. The Refining Qi period cultivators living inside the base were brought in by the three Foundation Building period cultivators. With their strength, they couldn’t enter here or leave on their own.

When Twin Success Valley’s Shan Feiyu was attacking the Gold Core period, Sect Master Xiao Haisheng had made arrangements in advance and evacuated a group of talented young disciples.

After Twin Success Valley suffered defeat and fled, Elder Dan Yihu, entrusted with the aftermath by Shan Feiyu, immediately led two other elders to hide this group of young disciples here.

This secret base, far from the surface, lacked even a spirit vein, only having a Lingjing that could provide a substantial amount of spiritual energy.

Above the Lingjing, a base formation was set up to gather spiritual energy, providing the necessary spiritual energy for the people’s life and cultivation.

However, this amount of spiritual energy was far from sufficient for the cultivation needs of so many Refining Qi period disciples, not to mention the three Foundation Building period elders.

The three Foundation Building period elders, led by Dan Yihu, had basically given up on cultivation, letting the disciples take turns cultivating using the Lingjing.

When they truly needed to supplement their true qi, they would use spirit stones for that purpose.

Among the hidden people here, only Dan Yihu had gone out a few times; the others had always stayed inside and never went out.

One day, Dan Yihu was organizing various ancient books of Twin Success Valley as usual. Suddenly, a Foundation Building period elder entered the book collection pavilion.

"Junior Brother, what’s the matter?" Dan Yihu asked.

"It’s nothing significant, just during my patrol, I found two sandworms nearby and took care of them in passing," replied the junior brother casually.

Upon hearing the junior brother’s reply, Dan Yihu’s expression changed.

"Junior Brother, immediately gather everyone and enter an alert posture. Something seems off, and we need to evacuate through the escape route immediately."

"Isn’t it just two sandworms, Senior Brother? You seem overly tense," said the junior brother dismissively.

"You are mistaken, Junior Brother. Sandworms, as monster insects, won’t dive to this depth without someone controlling them," Dan Yihu reproved with a bitter tone.

Dan Yihu, among all the Twin Success Valley elders, didn’t have a particularly outstanding cultivation base. However, he was entrusted with important tasks by Sect Master Xiao Haisheng because of his wisdom and cautious nature. In terms of adaptability, no one in Twin Success Valley could match him. 𝐟𝐫eewe𝗯𝐧𝚘ve𝐥.c𝚘𝚖

Knowing the habits of sandworms well, Dan Yihu realized something was amiss upon hearing his junior brother’s words.

Upon hearing Dan Yihu’s words, the junior brother immediately responded.

Eager to make up for his mistake, he acted quickly.

The well-trained Twin Success Valley disciples assembled in the shortest time possible. The junior brother and another Foundation Building period elder took the initiative to investigate outside.

As they left the secret base, they encountered the God of the Earth shuttle charging toward them at high speed.

An intense life-and-death battle immediately erupted.

Hearing the sounds from outside, Dan Yihu sighed, ordering all Refining Qi period disciples to evacuate as planned. However, he charged into the battle to help the two junior brothers block the enemies and buy time for the disciples’ evacuation.

Below this secret base was an underground river. Following this underground dark river, they could directly enter the depths of Demon Wind Gobi.

Though Demon Wind Gobi was fraught with danger and faced the threat of numerous monstrous beasts, in desperate situations, they could use the strength of those beasts to shake off pursuers, offering a way out.

Over 20 Refining Qi period disciples floated along the channel, entering the underground river. They released water escape symbols one after another, preparing to flee to a safer place.

Meanwhile, Zhao Jiudou, controlling the God of the Earth shuttle, was besieged by three Foundation Building period cultivators. Although the God of the Earth shuttle was mystical and extraordinary, its own combat strength wasn’t strong.
