176 Endless Cliff!
In the East Sea Mystic Realm.

After Zhou Ziran, Xu Lingfeng and the cultivators left, the valley became much quieter.

The disciples of the Empyrean Sword Sect looked at the array formation in front of the valley and walked over together.

After all, Shen Ran had already attacked wantonly and exhausted himself. Now was the time for them to perform.

The disciples of the Empyrean Sword Sect exerted strength together and directly circulated the spiritual energy in their bodies to blast towards the array formation.

In an instant, the wind spun, and the horizon shook violently.

A dazzling spiritual energy light landed on the array formation.

As the disciples of the Empyrean Sword Sect attacked, the array directly emitted a violent tremor.

There was a vibration and a crisp cracking sound.

Immediately after, this array formation shattered under the combined efforts of these disciples.

Seeing the array formation shatter, the disciples naturally smiled.

Some of them came to Shen Ran respectfully. “Your Highness, the array has been broken.”

Shen Ran nodded slightly. “Let’s go in and take a look.”

As he spoke, he led the two women into the valley.

The closer he got to the valley, the more he could sense the rich aura of natural treasures emitted from it.

This made the disciples of the Empyrean Sword Sect even more excited.

Then everyone stepped into the valley.

They saw a vast expanse of spiritual herbs.

It was like a medicinal valley ahead. As far as the eye could see, there were fields of spiritual herbs.

The only pity was that most of the spiritual herbs here were second-grade or third-grade. There were no higher grade ones.

Shen Ran roughly glanced at the spiritual herbs and casually took away two fourth-grade spiritual herbs.

Then he said calmly to the disciples, “You can split the rest among yourselves.”

As soon as they heard this, the disciples were stunned. Then they smiled broadly.

“Thank you, Your Highness!”

These were all second-grade and third-grade spiritual herbs. If they obtained them, it would greatly improve their cultivation.

They did not expect Shen Ran to be so generous.

After all, this was His Highness Shen. Even if he did not give them a single spiritual herb, they would not say anything.

But now, other than the two fourth-grade spiritual herbs, he had given them all. This made them respect Shen Ran even more and they were all grateful.

While these disciples were picking spiritual herbs, Shen Ran had already left the valley with Liu Nanzhi and Zhao Honglian.

After all, this was his first time in the mystic realm, and he was relatively unfamiliar with the environment here. He did not know where Ji Qinglin, Gu Shujue, and the others were.

However, he was not in a hurry. After all, the mystic realm was huge. If he walked slowly, he would definitely encounter them.

Shen Ran left the valley with the two women.

They gradually came to a plain.

However, the plain here seemed a little barren. At the same time, Shen Ran saw some traces of spiritual herbs being picked on the ground.

In other words, someone had been here.

After checking his surroundings, Shen Ran looked up.

All he could see was endless desolation. There was nothing else.

“Your Highness, something seems wrong over there.”

Just as Shen Ran was watching, Zhao Honglian stretched out her slim finger and pointed to the northwest.

He did not notice much just now, but now, with Zhao Honglian’s reminder, he instantly looked over.

To the northwest, if one did not look closely, it was indeed a barren land, but one could vaguely see a crack in the middle.

It was like standing on a plain and seeing a cliff-like crack.

With this discovery, Shen Ran headed straight northwest.

The two women naturally followed closely behind.

What puzzled Shen Ran was that he did not even see some cultivators along the way.

There was something strange about the silence.

After a long time, they finally reached the middle of the northwest square.

When he approached, he finally discovered something.

Although it looked deserted on the surface, at this moment, there was a bottomless abyss under his feet.

There was a river at the bottom of the abyss. What was more eye-catching was that in the middle of this river, a huge vortex was spinning rapidly.

From the vortex, one could sense a cold aura of natural treasures.

Although it was a cold aura, for some reason, he could feel a burning sensation, as if a raging fire was burning on an ice cube.

The moment he sensed this ice and fire aura, Shen Ran’s eyes suddenly narrowed.

He instantly remembered how he had used his golden finger to check the opportunities of those geniuses when he entered the mystic realm.

He clearly remembered that Gu Shujue had obtained a fifth-grade spiritual herb, the Ice Fire Polarity Flower.

Now that he felt this aura again, it meant that there was very likely the Ice Fire Polarity Flower below.

With this thought in mind, he turned to look at the two women. “Be careful.”

As soon as he finished speaking, he jumped from the cliff into the vortex below.

As Shen Ran jumped down, the two women naturally did not hesitate at all and followed him.

As for Shen Ran, as soon as he entered the vortex, he thought that there would be a wet ocean below, but he did not expect to feel dry and cold the moment he entered the vortex.

This feeling was very strange. After all, they were at the bottom of the lake.

While Shen Ran was puzzled, a light flashed in front of him and he realized that he had already arrived at a dry land.

Looking around, Shen Ran instantly understood what this place was.

This was a riverbed, but someone had used a secret technique to isolate the drinking water.

“Wow, this place is so magical. It looks like a river from above, but the bottom is so dry.”

Liu Nanzhi looked around and exclaimed.

Zhao Honglian also nodded and looked around warily.

At the same time, as the two women finished speaking, they could clearly see many cultivators running forward.

Similarly, the cold and hot aura they had felt previously was spreading endlessly from ahead.

Needless to say, the Ice Fire Polarity Flower must be right ahead.

After a year, it was not too late, and they walked straight ahead.

The deeper they went, they could see more and more cultivators constantly passing by. Moreover, they all looked anxious. Clearly, they had made a major discovery.

They walked for about half an hour.

The three of them suddenly stood still at the same time and looked at each other. In particular, the beautiful eyes of the two women flickered with surprise.

“Wow! What kind of place is this?”

“It’s hard to imagine seeing such a spectacular scene at the bottom of the river.”
