Dapeng's Time Travel Life

Chapter 445 A New Beginning on the Immortal Path, Exploring the Spirit Valley

After defeating the black-robed man but failing to find the key item, Zhang Peng was filled with worry about the mysterious organization's conspiracy, but he also knew that improving his own strength was the fundamental way to deal with any crisis. He decided to temporarily leave Lingxiao Pavilion and embark on a journey, hoping to comprehend more of the laws of nature and break through his current realm.

Before their departure, everyone gathered in Lingxiao Pavilion. Elders Xuan Chenzi and Chi Songzi looked on with anticipation. "Zhang Peng, the journey ahead will be fraught with peril. Please be careful. This world is vast, and many opportunities await you." Murong Yu patted Zhang Peng's shoulder, his expression resolute. "Zhang Peng, when you return, we will fight side by side again!" Liu Ruoli handed over an exquisite sachet, saying softly, "This sachet contains a specially made calming talisman. May it help you maintain a peaceful state of mind during your cultivation."

Zhang Peng thanked them one by one, then took off on his sword and flew into the distance. His figure appeared resolute and courageous in the sunlight, with the power of the chaotic laws faintly visible around him, as if he were wearing a mysterious armor.

Zhang Peng's first stop was the legendary Spirit Valley. Located on the edge of the cultivation world, the Spirit Valley was shrouded in mist year-round and home to various rare spiritual plants. These plants were not only excellent materials for refining elixirs, but their growth patterns and spiritual energy fluctuations also contained subtle laws of the universe.

Stepping into the Spirit Valley, a rich, fresh fragrance of herbs and trees wafted towards him, and the spiritual energy permeating the air, like agile sprites, gently touched Zhang Peng's skin. He circulated the chaotic law power of his mid-stage Nascent Soul realm, sensing everything around him. He saw that the spiritual plants in the valley were of various shapes and forms, some like agile birds, others like majestic mountains, each radiating a unique spiritual energy fluctuation.

Zhang Peng strolled through the spirit valley, carefully observing the spiritual plants. He discovered that there seemed to be a wondrous connection between them; their spiritual energy fluctuations resonated with each other, forming a natural spiritual energy cycle. He stopped and knelt before a spiritual plant emitting a soft blue light. This plant was called the Blue Spirit Grass, said to possess the miraculous effect of healing soul wounds. Zhang Peng gently reached out and touched the leaves of the Blue Spirit Grass. Instantly, a cool spiritual energy flowed into his body through his fingertips, calming his mind instantly.

Deep within the Spirit Valley, Zhang Peng encountered Su Ling, a reclusive master of spiritual plants. Su Ling wore a long green robe, her face kind, her eyes revealing a deep love and focus on spiritual plants. "Young man, are you also interested in spiritual plants?" Su Ling asked with a smile.

Zhang Peng quickly bowed and said respectfully, "I, Zhang Peng, have long admired the name of Spirit Valley and have come here to explore the mysteries of spiritual plants. I hope you will enlighten me, senior."

Su Ling nodded and led Zhang Peng to a garden of spirit plants. The garden contained a wide variety of spirit plants, each one carefully tended. "The way of spirit plants lies in following nature and establishing a spiritual connection with them," Su Ling said, gently stroking a spirit plant. The plant seemed to sense his affection and swayed slightly.

Deeply inspired, Zhang Peng closed his eyes and circulated the chaotic law power of his mid-stage Nascent Soul realm, attempting to establish a connection with the surrounding spiritual plants. Gradually, he sensed the emotions of the plants; some were joyful, some were serene, and they seemed to be telling their own stories.

During his conversation with Su Ling, Zhang Peng learned that there was a rare item in the Spirit Valley called the Chaos Spirit Fruit. It grew beside the Chaos Spirit Spring at the deepest part of the valley, ripening only once every thousand years, and contained powerful chaotic energy. Obtaining the Chaos Spirit Fruit might greatly help Zhang Peng comprehend the laws of chaos and break through his cultivation realm.

Zhang Peng decided to search for the Chaos Spirit Fruit. Following Su Ling's directions, he headed deeper into the Spirit Valley. Along the way, he encountered various dangers, including hidden spirit valley monsters and vortexes of spiritual energy formed by disordered spiritual power.

A gigantic rhinoceros-like beast blocked his path. This rhinoceros radiated an earthy-yellow light and possessed the strength of a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator. Its horn gleamed with a cold light, seemingly capable of easily piercing anything. Zhang Peng swiftly unleashed his "Law Prison," a burst of multicolored light instantly protecting him within. The rhinoceros roared and charged towards the cage, the immense impact causing it to shake violently.

Zhang Peng concentrated his mind and unleashed the "Chaotic Myriad Phenomena Break," converging the power of the laws of chaos into a gigantic chaotic sword, which he slashed towards Lingxi. Sensing the threat, Lingxi instantly grew a layer of hard earth armor on its body, blocking the chaotic sword.

In the fierce battle, Zhang Peng discovered that Lingxi's eyes were its weakness. He unleashed "Chaos Sovereign's Punishment," a five-colored beam of light carrying a world-destroying force, shooting towards Lingxi's eyes. Lingxi was unable to dodge in time and was struck by the light, letting out a painful roar before slowly collapsing.

Having resolved the issue with the Spirit Rhinoceros, Zhang Peng continued his journey. Finally, he arrived at the Chaos Spirit Spring. There, floating on the surface of the spring, was a fruit radiating multicolored light—the Chaos Spirit Fruit.

However, just as Zhang Peng was about to pick the Chaos Spirit Fruit, a dark shadow suddenly darted out from the bushes and pounced on it...
